The 11 best electric diffusers for making your home smell gorg
Second to being complimented on your swishy new bob or cute outfit, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as being told how good your home smells. For some, that means burning candles endlessly (guilty), but for those trying to find other alternatives, allow us to introduce you to our fave scent booster: an electric diffuser.

What is an electric diffuser?
Similarly to reed diffusers, electric diffusers infuse the air around you with essential oil blends, releasing a gorge scent into the air around you and having some pretty calming benefits, too. Unlike a reed diffuser, which uses, well, reeds to spread the smell, electric diffusers require you to fill up the water tank, add some essential oils and plug it into the wall. Depending on the diffuser, it will defuse the oil into the air periodically, or on a constant stream. Pretty neat.
How is an electric diffuser different to a reed diffuser?
In short: versatility. Unlike a reed diffuser, you're not stuck with the same scent for weeks and can really switch it up with the essential oils you use. Try a citrus scent like lemon or grapefruit for a burst of energy or soothing oils lavender or chamomile to help you drift off to sleep. Electric diffusers don’t tend to come with essential oils, so make sure you stock up on those before you bag one.
How long do electric diffusers last?
That’s totally dependent on how much you use it and varies from product to product. However, most will be able to run for a good few hours, with one of our favourites The White Company Textured Ceramic Electronic diffuser having the option to run for 16 hours straight (she’s got hella stamina!). One of the best benefits? The scent will still linger in the air long after it’s turned off.
Here's our pick of the 14 best electric diffusers....

Nope, this isn’t a portable speaker, it’s a portable diffuser. Who knew they even existed, right? Whether you’re sprucing up your home office, heading off on a staycation or want to make your Glasto tent a bougie oasis, this little guy is battery-operated and can be used indoors and outdoors and has three hours continuous use and eight hours interval use in its 45ml tank.
Porseme 280ml Large Glass Scented Oil Diffuser
We don’t like to judge a book by its cover, but this fun diffuser has got us hooked on aesthetics alone. But it’s not just a pretty face, the 280ml diffuser will run for around 7 - 10 hours in continuous mode and there are seven colour-changing light modes, keeping your space smelling great and looking fab.
Textured Ceramic Electronic Diffuser
This stylish electronic diffuser comes with three time settings, so you can choose how long the diffuser releases scent for: two hours, eight hours, or 16 hours. It works with any The White Company fragrance oil, so choose from scents like Seychelles, Pomegranate and Lime & Bay.
Ceramic Essential Oil Diffuser
We love the chic and simple design of this electric diffuser. There are seven light colour change options and four misting options - continuous, intermittent, one hour or two hours. It'll also switch off automatically when it detects there's little water left.
Apothecary Electric Diffuser
If you're looking for a small diffuser that will fit into practically any space or interior design settings, this M&S one is ideal. It's recently had a design revamp and also includes a light option if you want to more ambience to your room. Oh and it also comes with a Calm aroma oil, so you don't have to buy it separately. And can we just say the M&S Apothecary range of scents are genuinely spa like and really calming.
Wellbeing Pod
Neom know what they're doing when it comes to creating dreamy scents that fill your home. This electric diffuser is an updated version of the original diffuser which was first released in 2018.
It uses up-cycled material for the Heavea wooden base and a full tank can last for up to seven hours, that's the work day covered then! The light of the diffuser can also be controlled and dimmed depending on your preference.
Chi Aroma Diffuser
There's something instantly calming about the round orb like shape of this diffuser from Neal's Yard Remedies and feels more of a feature for the home. The ambient light also ups the relaxation factor of the diffuser. It also rather interestingly comes with a built in breath coach that helps guide you through three different mood
breath work meditations.

Precious about your home decor and don’t want a white orb floating on your coffee table? This ombre sunset pick is ya girl. Designed to soothe and calm, it has multiple colour light settings and four different time modes. Who says diffusers can’t be purposeful and pretty?
Essential Oil Diffuser
For something more cheap and cheerful, this essential oil diffuser comes with seven LED light colours, a fragrant oil vaporiser and timer options, so you can choose how often it diffuses.
The Atomiser Pure Essential Oil Ceramic Diffuser
There's a reason why this Aromatherapy Associates ceramic diffuser has so many good reviews. The atomiser doesn't actually use a water tank, instead emitting a fine mist direct from the oil bottles themselves. It’s easy to switch between scents and without a water tank you don't have to worry about refilling it.
