Let me start by saying this diffuser is a DREAM. As someone who’s burned through cheap diffusers (literally—one caught fire), the ASAKUKI’s 500ml tank and Alexa compatibility had me sold. First night? I whispered ‘Alexa, turn on bedtime mode’ from under my blankets, and BOOM—soft lavender mist + dim gold light. No fumbling with buttons. Magic.

The mist is *chef’s kiss*—not too wimpy, not a hurricane. My cat (who hates humidity) actually naps near it now. Pro tip: Use ONE drop of oil unless you want your bedroom to smell like a Yankee Candle factory explosion (learned that the hard way).

Downsides? The app sometimes lags if your Wi-Fi’s weak, and the ‘wood grain’ is clearly plastic (but hey, it looks chic on my desk). Also, remote control range is insane—tested it from my bathroom (don’t ask) and it still worked.

Final verdict: For $50? Worth every penny. Bought one for my mom who said ‘It’s too quiet!’ …that’s the point, Karen.
