What is a waterless diffuser?

A waterless diffuser uses nebulising or cold-air technology to break a fragrance oil into a fine mist without heat or water, so the scent stays true to the oil and there’s no water residue to clean up.

How does cold-air diffusion work?

It atomises the fragrance oil directly using air pressure rather than heat or water, which preserves the scent’s character and avoids the residue some water-based diffusers leave behind.

Is diffusing fragrance oil safe for the home?

Airmate scent oils are designed for ambient home and business diffusing. As with any fragrance product, run your diffuser in a ventilated space and keep bottles out of reach of children and pets.

What's the difference between a waterless diffuser and a humidifier?

A humidifier adds moisture to the air. A waterless diffuser like Airmate’s range disperses fragrance oil only, with no water or humidity effect.

How long does it take a scent diffuser to fill a room?

Most rooms notice fragrance within a few minutes, with full, even coverage building over roughly 15-30 minutes depending on your intensity setting and room size.

Which Airmate diffuser covers the most space?

Pro Mate covers up to 500m³, the largest in the range, followed by Lite Mate (300m³) and Core Mate (200m³).

Which diffuser is quietest?

Core Mate, at under 34dB – quieter than the rest of the Airmate range.

Which diffusers have app or remote control?

Home Mate and Duo Mate use Bluetooth control, Core Mate adds a physical remote, and Lite Mate and Pro Mate use smart PCB control without an app.

Can one diffuser scent a whole house?

A single diffuser is rated for one room or open area up to its coverage limit (200-500m³ depending on model). For whole-house coverage, most customers run one diffuser per main living area.

What's the difference between Home Mate and Pro Mate?

Home Mate suits bedrooms and living rooms up to 50m³. Pro Mate is a higher-output unit built for offices, retail and clinics, covering up to 500m³.

Does Airmate make a diffuser for cars?

Not currently – the Airmate range is built for home and business interiors. Lite Mate’s compact wall-mounted design is the smallest option in the lineup.

How much does an Airmate diffuser cost?

From LKR 18,000 (Lite Mate) up to LKR 80,000 (Core Mate), depending on the model.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes – Airmate accepts Mintpay and Koko, both interest-free instalment options available at checkout.

Do you deliver island-wide?

Yes. Estimated delivery is 1-2 business days in Colombo and suburbs, 2-3 days in the Western Province, 2-4 days to other major cities, and 3-5 days to remote areas.

Can I cancel or change my order?

Orders can be cancelled before dispatch; once shipped they can’t be cancelled. Contact us as soon as possible if you need to make a change.

Can I return a diffuser if I change my mind?

Unused diffusers in original packaging can be returned within 7-14 days of delivery. Opened scent oils are non-returnable for hygiene reasons.

How long does 100ml of scent oil last?

Most customers get 4-8 weeks from a bottle at moderate daily use, depending on your intensity setting, room size and how many hours a day the diffuser runs.

How do I clean my diffuser?

Wipe the housing with a dry cloth and avoid submerging the unit in water. See our diffuser cleaning and maintenance guide for model-specific steps.

How do I connect my diffuser via Bluetooth?

Enable Bluetooth on your phone, put the diffuser into pairing mode, and select it from your device’s Bluetooth list.

What do I do if my diffuser arrives damaged?

Contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos of the damage and we’ll arrange a replacement or refund after inspection.

Is my diffuser covered if it's defective?

Yes – defective or damaged items are eligible for replacement or refund. Contact us with your order details to start the process.

How do I scent a small shop or salon?

Pro Mate’s 500m³ coverage and smart PCB control suit most retail and salon spaces. See our For Business page for guidance on choosing the right setup.

Is diffuser scent safe to use in a restaurant or cafe?

Yes, with attention to ventilation and avoiding strong scents near food preparation areas. Lighter, food-neutral scents like citrus or mint work well in F&B spaces.

Do you offer scenting services for hotels or large commercial properties?

For large properties, HVAC-connected systems and scent strategy services, our sister company Aerix (aerixlk.com) specialises in commercial scent marketing.

Can I buy diffusers in bulk for multiple locations?

Contact us directly to discuss bulk or multi-location orders.

Are Airmate diffusers safe around pets?

Generally yes, with some precautions – see our full guide on diffusers around kids and pets, especially for cats.

Are Airmate diffusers safe for babies and children?

Most Airmate scents are suitable for family homes. Keep diffusers out of reach, use lower intensity settings in nurseries, and ventilate the room.

Does Airmate offer a warranty?

Defective or damaged units are covered for replacement or refund under our Refund and Returns Policy. Contact us with your order details.

What's the difference between the Hotel Collection and regular Scent Oils?

Hotel Collection oils (LKR 9,500, 50ml) are inspired by the ambiance of well-known hotel brands. Regular Scent Oils (LKR 2,250-4,500) are Airmate’s standard fragrance range in 50ml and 100ml sizes.

Can I use essential oils instead of Airmate scent oil?

Airmate diffusers are designed and tested with Airmate scent oils. Using other oils may affect performance and isn’t something we can guarantee results for.
