Sztrokia Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser Review

(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?

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.
