Is the well where the oil is placed made of plastic? I really don't like the idea of diffusing plastic chemicals in my air?

The water itself doesn't really get hot. There is a metal screen at the bottom which heats below. I don't like to heat plastic either, but I have never been concerned about my diffuser and have never detected any plastic odors.

No, it is a lubricant, there are no harsh chemicals that should be affected by plastic.

I only purchase the 54oz size and regardless of the vendor it's #1 plastic. I've never seen this oil in glass and it's even rare to find any item in glass except preserves. Like they said... "Better living thru chemistry". Best to keep the oils in a basement or some room that is dark and cool. It will keep for a very long time.

Everything I see is plastic where you pour the water in. Where the water comes out into the filter system the only thing that is not plastic there is the screen part of the basket that holds the grounds. One cannot actually see the "well". I lifted this little plastic "grate" looking part and still cannot see the well.

Geez, guys. Just tell him it's a glass bottle. ALL of Carlson's liquid fish oils are in glass bottles for freshness and so any plastic taste or chems don't leach into the oil. Nordic Naturals puts theirs in dark glass as well. Hope that helps!

Indeed. But upon checking, I think its is a thin membrane that becomes loose after in contact with the oil and thus loosened and floating in the oil. I used a clean forcep to remove it and also remove the lining in the cap. Maybe you can try. Its definitely not contaminated. I am sure the seller / mfr could look into this to eliminate customers anxiety. Hope this helps.

Not really. There is a block of foam in the reservoir, and its ability to absorb oil is what limits the speed of adding oil. It isn't a problem, you just have to be a little patient or you will overflow the reservoir. Don't remove the foam, though. It keeps vibration from from mixing air into the oil.

i would not. many essential oils tend to deteriorate plastics. i went through a couple of spray bottles before i learned that lolyou can always station a scentsy next to it for the same effect.

Yep plastic where the filter is. There's a removable plastic basket and then the well it sits in is plastic.

The little area for the oils is near the top of the bottom part then the outside cover goes down over it. I want to say that this one says use distilled water and putting oil in water can clog it up over time. I purchased another brand that regular water and oil can go in same place. It was a little more expensive but worth the ability to use tap water and oil. Sparks e-oils and Now have diffusers. Look up there's then check out amazon and other sites like it for a better price.

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts

The bottle is plastic. It is also a great avocado oil. I use it in cosmetics.

It is metal inside too....not plastic. Mine is discolored a bit because of hard well water.

Yes, the inside where the water & oil go are plastic, as is the remote control. The outside base is ceramic, and the top mesh shell is metal. It works great, is easy to clean and use.

The citrus oils will leach petrochemicals out of the plastic. You will then be diffusing them into the air you breathe.

You really do not want to store oil long term in plastic. Plastic absorbs oil and taints the oil purity. If you have a small amber glass jar it would be better for use.
