Can you confirm what type of plastic that this diffuser is made from and if it contains phthalates?

50 percent of the fibers in this cover are made from recycled plastic bottles. No smell. NOT PVC! NO PHTHALATES like that found in the cheaper vinyl coated covers. Also PVC is harmful to ground water and air from chlorine during manufacture. This cover has NO PVC.

Packaging doesn't state phthalate free; I did look at several websites to check this out. The best info I could find indicates most new rubbermaid food containers have low levels of this chemical, but none tested show leaching into food. The bottom grid for this produce saver product is a hard plastic, like a lid, and very unlikely to contain these plastic softeners. I worry more about deordorants, cosmetics, anything with fragrance etc. than these particular containers. However, to be completely safe, your best bet is glass containers with hard plastic lids.

The manufacturer of this diffuser is Puzhen, If you go to the web site you can contact them about getting replacement parts. Linda Dunn, Diffuser World

The whole unit is plastic...the oils are ok because they are being diffused and will not sit in the diffuser indefinitely. While it is true that you should not put the CITRUS oils (such as lemon) in plastic, the other oils are fine. What happens since Lemon is a detoxifier, for instance, it pulls the petroleum products that are in styrofoam or plastic OUT of the container (i.e. detoxifying it). This is why we say to use GLASS for water with lemon EO :) Hope this helps!

It's plastic but my husband LOVED it! He is thrilled with the pressure. He hasn't even taken the filter off. There was no strong smell coming from it like some of the other folks mentioned.

I wish I could help, but I am not sure which kind of plastic it is made of and have already discarded the packaging.

Interior contains a plastic-type liner plus diffuser insert is plastic. The ultrasonic chip and holder appear to be made from stainless steel. The EO is suspended in water, not pure. The base must be cleaned regularly and the chip has a life span of approximately 1 year, which will vary by type of EO that's used plus frequency/length of use. The company is very responsive to issues. I own 3 of their devices, and one chip went bad after 4 months. They replaced it quickly, free-of-charge and did so amicably. I've used many diffusers, and from prior experience, these are my favorite devices.

yes the lid on the small Sha is plastic and the container inside the diffuser beneath the mesh part is also plastic. The lid for the larger Sha is made of the same clay like the bottom.

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.

The only thing I got w this was the concentrator nozzle. I have seen universal diffusers but haven't personally purchased or used it.

Staight from the company, these are made from PVC and polyethylene plastic. They claim they are phthalate free and BPA free. Many reviews reported an off-gassing smells out of the box. If these have a bad smell then something in the plastic is breaking down and releasing chemicals. I'm sorry to say, but if these are made with PVC then they are NOT SAFE. Maybe by US standards but I highly doubt they would pass in Europe. They may have been able to make the PVC without phthalates but they must have had to find a suitable plasticizer replacement. This replacement just isn't a known toxin YET. The same goes for BPA. A replacement has been found that is just as toxic so companies can use the replacement and label the product BPA free. Just remember where plastic comes from...petroleum. There is no getting around it. Plus, polyethylene terephthalate or PET (if that is the one they use) can leach a toxic heavy metal called antimony. Most problems occur with plastic as it ages which doesn't take long. So, do your homework and don't take the companies word for it! Stick with wood toys with water based paint.

The manual that comes with the steamer doesn't make any reference to the type of plastic used. You might want to go to the oster.com web site and ask them.

Plastic. I hate to admit it, but I have not tried to clean it. The inlet hole is maybe 1" in diameter, so I suppose you could get a washcloth in there and shake it up. There will be no getting your hand in there to clean it, though. On a side note, I LOVE this diffuser!!!

This is made using phthalate free, non-toxic materials - a PVC shaft and an ABS plastic base. Thank you for shopping with GW Corp!
