In this guide
The Push is vitruvi's cheapest diffuser and its smallest idea: a round white face, listed at 4.6 centimeters wide and 9.1 tall, that plugs directly into a standard wall outlet and heats a 15 ml wick cartridge — vitruvi's spec sheet calls it a "Heat-based wick diffuser," waterless. On vitruvi.com it lists at $24.99, regular and sale price the same, in stock at 32 units on October 27, 2026; delivery is free on carts past $80. On Amazon, vitruvi sells it as a $38.99 starter kit with a refill. The brand's chart puts coverage at 200 square feet, one small-to-medium room.
The part that matters sits in the fuel line. The Push takes vitruvi's own Push Scent Refills, 15 ml at $17.99, rated up to 500 hours each — just under three weeks of continuous running — with the pairing filed under "Exclusive compatibility." That splits vitruvi's range in two: the Stone, $103.99 in White, is an ultrasonic that takes water and any oil on the market, while this $24.99 appliance is, in effect, a refill habit with a plug.
Our verdict
For $24.99 the Push puts vitruvi scent on a wall outlet with no water and no cleanup, if its own refills are the only fuel you want. Continuous runtime and no timer mean planning on about $26 a month.
- A good fit for
- A bathroom, hallway or bedside outlet where counter space is zero, mess is unwelcome, and staying on vitruvi's refill menu is no burden.
- We would skip it if
- You want to pour your own oils — the Push takes only its own cartridges — or you cannot spare a wall outlet in the room.
Reasons to consider it
- Plugs straight into a standard wall outlet — 4.6 cm wide, 9.1 cm tall, 0.2 lbs — with no water, no cleanup, and the outlet's second receptacle left free
- Refills are rated up to 500 hours, just under 21 days of continuous scent per $17.99 cartridge ($15.29 on a monthly subscription), with adjustable vents to set intensity
- Cheapest hardware in vitruvi's line; the $38.99 starter kit with a first refill costs $3.99 less than the two bought separately, at vitruvi.com or from vitruvi on Amazon
The compromises
- Takes only the brand's 15 ml Push refills — the spec sheet calls the compatibility exclusive — and no drop-bottle oil format fits it
- Occupies a wall outlet, and a product-gallery image carries a keep-me-upright-even-unplugged overlay, so it travels poorly
- One-year warranty, first buyer only, via authorized sellers, remedy an exchange for the same model and color, accidental damage excluded; 200 sq ft is one room, not a floor
What we have not verified: The numbers here are ratings, not timed runs: 500 hours per refill and 200 square feet come from vitruvi's own chart, and vitruvi lists no wattage, temperature or decibel rating for the heater. Vitruvi leaves open whether the discounted starter kit counts as sale hardware under its store-credit return rule; inventory read 32 units on October 27, 2026.
The things in this guide
A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
Vitruvi Push Plug-In Wall Diffuser
$24.99 buys a 200-sq-ft wall diffuser with no water tank and no cleanup, rated up to 500 hours per refill, from the same brand whose ceramic Stone lists at $129.99.
Before you buy: Fuel is proprietary — $17.99 15 ml refills only, about $26 a month running nonstop — plus one occupied outlet, no timer, and a one-year original-owner warranty.
Price checked October 27, 2026. Retailer prices can change.Twenty-five dollars, one wall outlet
The sticker is the simplest thing about the Push. Regular and sale price both read $24.99 — no markdown in play, unlike the Stone's standing $103.99 cut on White — and a lone unit falls $55 short of the $80 free-delivery bar. The starter kit bundles the unit with a Vanilla Mint refill for $38.99 against a $42.98 compare-at, $3.99 less than buying the two. Bought on vitruvi.com, a kit priced under its compare-at may fall under the store's rule that discounted hardware returns only for store credit; the same kit on Amazon, listed by vitruvi and dispatched from Amazon's warehouses, is refundable free of charge for 30 days.
The hardware asks one thing of the room: an outlet. The body seats directly into a standard North American receptacle — the product shot shows a US duplex wall plate — occupying the upper socket while the lower one stays usable. Vitruvi's copy pitches it for bedrooms, bathrooms and home offices, and the small face hides beside a mirror or behind a door in rooms where no counter exists — the placement a tank-and-table diffuser cannot reach.
Heat, wick, and one dial that is really a vent
Vitruvi's spec sheet names the mechanism plainly: a heat-based wick diffuser, waterless, with "single scent strength" and "adjustable vents for scent intensity." No water tank, no mist, no humidity, no ultrasonic plate to descale — the cartridge's wick is warmed, scent rises, and the vents open or close to meter it into the room. Coverage is published at 200 square feet; the brand's chart lists the runtime as continuous, with none of the timer settings the Stone carries.
Two physical caveats come from vitruvi itself. A gallery image asks that the unit stay upright even when unplugged, since a cartridge of liquid scent sits behind the face — so the 0.2-pound body moves between walls, not into a bag. And the mechanism is a small heater on a wall plate with no wattage, temperature or noise figure listed for it.
What 500 hours means in cartridges per month
Vitruvi rates each 15 ml refill at up to 500 hours, just under 21 days of continuous running. Leave the Push running nonstop — the chart's default, with no timer to say otherwise — and a 30-day month consumes roughly 1.4 cartridges: about $26 at the $17.99 refill price, about $22 on vitruvi's monthly subscription at $15.29. Unplugging it for half of every day halves that, to about $13, at the cost of handling a unit that has to stay upright. Six refill scents, a build-your-own bundle at $17.99 a bottle and a $49.99 holiday kit made up the menu on October 27, 2026.
Against the hardware, the cartridge is the real bill. One month of full-time refills already costs more than the $24.99 device, and the refills never stop: about $315 a year of nonstop use at list, about $268 on the monthly subscription. Vitruvi prints the refill price, the 500-hour rating and the exclusive compatibility on one listing, so a year of refills can be priced before checkout.
The fork in vitruvi's own catalog
Vitruvi sells two scent routes, and the Push is the cheap one. The Stone — the brand's ceramic ultrasonic — lists at $129.99 with White at $103.99, holds a 70 ml tank, and runs on water with any essential oil on the shelf; its published output is 1 fluid ounce an hour on continuous, and its coverage claim reads 500 square feet to the Push's 200. The Stone scents a bigger room, doubles as shelf pottery, and asks for regular tank cleaning; the Push asks for an outlet and a cartridge that swaps in seconds.
Running costs do not automatically favor the Stone. On vitruvi's own blends at list, 20 drops a day comes to about $58 a month — more than double a full-time Push. Only with cheaper third-party oil does the Stone's bill fall below the Push's, because the Stone takes any brand and the Push takes nothing but $17.99 cartridges. The ledger: the Push wins on placement, mess and the first invoice; the Stone wins on room size, timers and freedom of fuel.
The refill lock, and what the one-year promise covers
The refill lock is physical before it is contractual. The spec sheet files the pairing under "Exclusive compatibility" and the refill page closes with "For use with Vitruvi Push Plug-In Wall Diffuser." Unlike some waterless scent machines, the Push carries no published clause voiding the warranty over third-party scent; the bay is shaped for vitruvi's own cartridges, so the format does the locking. The open-bottle freedom of the Stone's oil aisle stops at the Push's bay; buying the Push is deciding, once, to scent from vitruvi's menu.
The warranty is one year on diffusers and humidifiers, for the person who first bought it, covering devices from authorized retailers and excluding unauthorized resellers and accidental damage; the remedy is an exchange for the same model and color, and hardware outside Canada or the US cannot be replaced. Bought direct at the full $24.99, the unit is refundable for 30 days minus a handling fee; discounted hardware drops to store credit only, within 20 days by the product tab and 15 by the FAQ. The Stone carries the same twelve-month term.
