I really like both but there are notable differences
I am writing this review in comparison to my first diffuser by Smiley Daisy so purchased from Amazon. I really like both but there are notable differences.
Both diffusers go through a beautiful range of colors that my daughter uses as her nightlight. Both give a nice soft glow. What I like about the Smiley Daisy is you can have the light on even if you're not using the diffuser. The light and diffuser has separate buttons whereas the Purespa has a single button, press once to turn on the diffuser and once more to turn on the light. Smiley Daisy also allows you to "pause" the color if there is a single color you want rather than have them rotate.
The Purespa diffuser is noticeably quieter although you only hear a slight purr from the Smiley Daisy. The Purespa also lets out a lot less "mist". You can see the most coming out of the Smiley Daisy but see nothing from the Purespa. The aroma is not lacking at all though.
Both seem to last about the same amount time, the Smiley Daisy might last slightly longer because it seems to hold a tad bit more water. But both make it through the night so they both serve their purpose for me.
The Purespa has a smaller teardrop shaped lid to go on the inside, topping off the reservoir and a larger lid to cover the entire thing. The outermost lid does seem to attach at all, just sits on top. The Smiley Daisy you can "screw" on and only has a single lid.
The Smiley Daisy is slightly shorter with a wider base whereas the Purespa sits taller and narrower. Power plug is on the bottom for the Smiley Daisy which can prove difficult if you're removing the power from the base and there is still water in the reservoir. Purespa the power plug is on the back side, which I prefer.
When you get your Smiley Daisy diffuser it comes with instructions to clean with "cirtrus salt" which I have to find. It would nice if they included it. There were no special cleaning instructions for the Purespa so I'm hoping it's a bit simpler.
Both come with measuring cups to fill the reservoirs with. Overall they both have pros and cons, just depends on what you're looking for.
