(4.2 / 5)
The Sztrokia Starburst 180 ml Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser is quite a unique product on the market of oil diffusers today. It looks like a disco globe, which can be quite cool for a kid’s room or if you use it during dim/dark times in your living room and want to create that special ambiance.
At the 180 ml, it also has a unique size. I’d consider it mid-range in size, not too big but also not too small.

Read on for a full review of this diffuser’s features and functionalities.
What’s The Best Thing About This Essential Oil Diffuser?
- 24 COLORS! This diffuser has 8 color options that you can switch between bright, normal, and dim modes. 3 x 8 = 24 color modes.
- ULTRASONIC TECHNOLOGY. Relax and enjoy the health benefits of a steady mist that fills the air. Use with your favorite essential oil to relax, relieve stress, and fight allergy, cold or flu symptoms.
- GOOD MID-SIZE UNIT. With a water tank of 180ml, this is not too small and not too big.
- VERSATILE. This unit makes a creative decoration as well as a functional diffuser. Also, you could use it as a night light or feature light in a kid’s room.
- AUTO-SHUT OFF. The diffuser will switch off to ensure safety when the water tank is empty.
What Did I First Notice About This Diffuser?
Definitely, its unique design! The metal cover is shiny and reflective when viewed in daylight. However, turn the room dark or wait for night to come around, and you will have a disco-light like diffuser that creates an ambiance like no other.

How Long Does A Full Bin Of Water Last?
Assembly is easy
This aromatherapy diffuser can run steadily for up to 6 hours of continuous output. It does feature 3 Mist Modes, which are strong, light, or intermittent. The intermittent mode puts out a mist in an on-off cycle every 10 seconds. When you run the diffuser on intermittent mist mode, you can expect a run time of up to 8 hours.
Does It Have An Auto Shut-off Mechanism?
Yes absolutely! This ultrasonic aromatherapy essential oil diffuser features an auto shut-off when the water tank is empty. This essential feature of any diffuser ensures user safety when the unit is used for example prior to going to bed. You don’t need to worry about turning it off manually. Just let it run and if the water tank runs empty, the unit will shut itself off.
How Big Of An Area Can It Cover?
This mid-size diffuser is rated to cover an area of approx. your living room size (that’s where I use mine). I couldn’t find exact square footage measurements in the supplier’s information package or sales page.
Much Noise Does It Make?
Personally, I found this unit a little bit louder than others whilst in operation. Other customers though found the noise level to be super low and weren’t bothered. I think it’s a personal choice or opinion on how much noise one can tolerate. In my experience with many different essential oil diffuser makes and models, they all make a little bit of noise and that’s totally normal and has to be expected.
On a more important note, the buttons for light, mist, and timing modes also made beeping noises when being pressed. This is a bit more troublesome as I sometimes like to sneak into my kids room and turn off the diffuser if she’s misting a blend that I don’t like (haha, yes this does happen), and she still sleeps with the door open, so it fades out into the living room and basically across all of our upper floor… Anyways! Beeping on/off switches aren’t optimal in any case.
Can I Turn Off Or Adjust The Light(s) On It?
Yes. You can operate this diffuser without any lights altogether, or you can switch it between its 3 color modes of bright, normal and dim, on each individual color. Press the “Light” button once to turn on the illumination, and on this first mode the color will be changing for you automatically from one color to the next. The unit will cycle through 8 colors, in order from bright, to normal, to dim. You can also set it in one steady color.

Does the light also automatically shut off?
Hi Joy! Thanks for our question. No, the light will NOT automatically shut off. It will only stop the misting.
Hi, I decided not to purchase the Sztrokia Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser because I couldn’t find any info. on what kind of materials it is made from. Is the interior BPA free? What is the top glass fireworks design part made from? Do you happen to know?
Thanks,
Helen
Hi, are there replacement parts for this, without buying a whole new one? My daughter got it for her birthday and we didn’t notice it but there was a crack in the glass, then it shattered. How do we go about getting just the top again without buying a whole new thing?
