I would choose the round because I prefer the shape of that one.
I would choose round because it gives the impression of more even distribution.
I would prefer the round one because it looks more normal to me than the oval shaped one. I think oval is an odd shape for this kind of product.
I like the round better cause I feel like it would take up less room and it would really just go well one a shelf better than the oval.
Either one works but I think I like the round one the best. I like the shape and think it would take up less room
I think the round one looks better for an oil diffuser, it would look like a stylish bowl sitting on the coffee table
I think oval feels a bit more aesthetic and different i like it.
I like oval because it gives it a little extra flair
I like the oval shape. It seems to take up less space and looks cool compared to the normal circle
I would rather buy the round shape oil diffuser. The round one to me looks a lot better than the oval shaped one. The round one is much smaller which I like since it would not take up much space wherever I decide to put it at
I like the oval. It seems more interesting and unique. I could also push it more flush with a wall.
An oval shape is really fun and looks very beautiful. It is an essential oil diffuser and the oval shape would make the outlook looks awesome. It is awesome and not boring.
I would like to purchase oval because it has a better shape than round and I feel like I would get more use out of the oval shape. The oval shape makes the product look higher quality as well.
I like the round one best. It look sleek and modern and has a nice symmetry. It looks more attractive and seems sharper and more appealing in general.
I think the oval diffuser has a slightly more interesting and attractive appearance and it gets my attention a little more than the round one. The round one seems somewhat boring in comparison.
I feel that the round would fit best in my home. I think that the other shape is a bit to long and it wouldn't fit very well in my table.
Not too crazy about either one, but I guess I'd take the round one. It would take up less space and would fit into different spaces more easily.
I like the round because it gives a more modern and symmetrical look.
I prefer the round one. It takes up less space.
I would prefer the round option since that looks more symmetrical.
I would prefer Oval because it would be similar to the shape of the tables in which it would be on.
I would prefer the round option over the oval because I like the style and fineness of a rounder bottom.I think the round shape fits in better with decorating whether it be on a table top or on a shelf.The round option is more common and therefor is a better fit for a non-intrusive environment setting.The round option usually fits better with other objects it sits beside when putting it in a setting.
Round- it's a more pleasant shape to the eye, and I think it'd be easier to store instead of the slightly longer oval version.
I would rather purchase the oval shape diffuser. You normally only see the round ones. And for one that is this large, it would be easier to place the oval one on a narrow shelf and not have to worry about it getting bumped or hanging off.
A circle is better because all points on a circle are the same distance from the center. An oval is a circle that has been squashed in one direction so the the distances 180 degrees apart are the same, but 90 degrees apart it is a different dimension.
I like the oval because it would fit on a thin shelf better.
i feel the oval one would be more balanced
I much prefer oval. It has a slight flatness to it and takes up space that needs some.
I think the oval diffuser would be easier to find a place for it to sit. I think it would be fine on a shallow shelf. The round diffuser would be difficult to find a place in my home for.
I would choose the oval one because it's so different than what I'm used to seeing. I love unexpected aesthetics.
I think the round one looks more balanced and a lot cleaner. I find it'd look the classiest in my bathroom.
I prefer the round diffuser because I like the shape. I like that the product would fit well on a table or shelf.
I guess I prefer the round from the top view since from the side views it is very difficult in the pictures to tell the difference. Round is easier to place around the house.
I prefer the round personally I just like things that are perfectly symmetrical.
I thought the oval shape looked more interesting and unique.
I like the oval one a little better, they are so similar but I think the oval just has a slightly more interesting shape. Its just a little more unique and fun to look at.
I prefer the round option because I already have an item like this.I like the round shape better because it fits on my nightstand better.
I prefer the round because I like the even shape more and it will probably heat the oil faster.
Round, the oval one would be hard to fit in with the rest of the symmetry in my house.
I would probably choose the oval shape because it looks a little more original than the round one; it has a little more character. There's nothing wrong with the round one though, and I would buy it if the oval was out of stock.
I prefer the oval because it will increase variety off shapes in my decor.
oval is more aesthetically pleasing.
I prefer the oval bowl because it is more interesting. It would clearly look like a decorative bowl and not just a cereal bowl I was using. It would also be easier to incorporate into an attractive display to sit on a table or shelf.
I would choose a round shape one because it looks complete and perfect,easy to put everywhere
i like the looks of the oval best. it's fun and quarky and it's just more interesting to look at. the round is typical and blah
They both looked similar to me but I like the sound of the word oval. It just sounds sexier. So oval bowl for me!
I prefer the round shape over the oval. I like symmetry and the circle fits better with my symmetrical brain than the oval. The oval feels defective. I also feel that the round shape will better keep oil spillage inside than the oval.
I would prefer the round shape, because to me, this looks more symmetrical. Also, I think the round container, would hold more of the product, so this would seem to be, the better buy. And I am always trying to make my pennies stretch, in this difficult economy, we are all facing.
I would definitely buy the round diffuser because it is more aesthetically pleasing to me and it would go better with my home decorations.
I prefer the round design because I think it looks more harmonious and natural. I also think it would be easier to pick up and move and harder for me to accidentally drop it.
I like the round shape better because I think it would fit in more places that I would use it.
Oval - I think this shape would lend itself better to sitting in an out-of-the way, unobtrusive spot while in use.
I prefer the oval shape. I like that it's different, or unexpected, as far as decoration can go. I think this shape is easier to fit on a shelf or table because it doesn't take up as much room.
I like the round one better, I think that it has a nicer shape, the oval one seems a little narrow.
Round. I prefer things in my home to be symmetrical, otherwise they will drive me insane. The oval one also looks weirdly shaped on the top, and I'm not a huge fan of it.
I would choose oval because it's different. Round is typical, predictable. I think it's a really cool diffuser, i'd love to purchase the oval one.
I like round better i think it's a better look and aesthetic as a decorative piece
I would use the round diffuser as it appears to take up less space.
I like the round- the oval just looks awkard

I like the oval one because I think it would fit in more strange places that round things wouldn't fit in.
I would prefer the oval diffuser. It would be easier to hold after filling, especially if one spills some of the oil on the outside of it.
I REALLY LIKE THE OVAL. IT IS A UNIQUE SHAPE THAT WOULD LOOK NICE IN MY HOME
I prefer the look of the circular diffuser. I tend to like shapes that are more uniform, like circles as opposed to ovals and squares as opposed to rectangles. I feel like the circle looks more modern than the oval.
I actually prefer the oval. Most of the ones I see are round, so the oval one is a bit different, and more unique. It would also take up a bit less space, as the round ones tend to be kind of bulky, and take up more surface area.
I would choose the oval diffuser bowl as I like the danish sort of design of it.
I would select round because it looks less awkward and would likely fit the spaces in my home better.
I prefer the round style. It feels more balanced and zen. I think it is superior in appearance and would fit in more corners without the awkward oblongness of the oval diffuser.
from the side, it doesn't matter, but looking from the top, I like how the oval would sit on my small side tables. I like round, but It takes up a lot of room and my stupid cat would try to sit on it. I would get the oval shape because I haven't seen that shape before and it would sit nicely on my tables.
I like the round one because it looks more closer together and proportioned right.
They look largely the same except for the top view. I would choose the oval because it would fit in spaces better and it's a more interesting shape design wise.
I much prefer the round shape. It is more symmetrical and visually appealing.
I prefer to purchase the round diffuser because it looks like it would fit in the areas where I would put it better than the oval
I like the look of the oval one because it can fit in more places than the round one can.
I would choose the oval shaped oil diffuser. While both of the options equally interested me from the side views, I ultimately liked the oval shape the best. I mostly selected this shape based on my perceived ability to put the object in my own space. I felt that the oval shape would allow for more objects to surround it and thus make it more convenient.
round is more symmetrical and my brain prefers that over the oval
The round bowl seems to take up less shape and seems more pleasing to the eye.
I like the oval shape the most because I get the impression the the diffusion covers more area and in a pleasing way.
I prefer round, oval looks nice but it's so long and hard to fit places,
I would choose the circle because the oval is sort of awkward shaped.
I would choose round because it looks deeper and if you bump into whatever it is sitting on it will not spill.
I would prefer the round diffuser shape. It would blend in with other decor in an even manner.
The oval could fit on a skinner shelving and feels like it would take up less room allowing for a more visually appealing look rather than the pure circle
Round looks better and would fit better in most peoples' spaces. Oval just seems odd to me.
I prefer the round choice. It looks more attractive and symmetrical.
I would choose the oval because it is the more interesting shape. It would fit with my contemporary decor.
I like the round because it's more balanced and the other one seems like it would be off balanced a little bit
Round looks sleeker, and takes up less room than the oval one.
I prefer oval. I think it's more interesting looking and easier to pick up as well.
Oval , has a very good shape and its great deal
I think that I am more drawn to the oval shaped diffuser. I like the look and aesthetics of it. I think it would blend in well with my other home decor.
I prefer the round because it looks more balanced, especially the side view of the oval makes it look like the bumps aren't as evenly disbursed and it leaves a few odd gaps.
I like the look of the oval one better. I think it looks more stylish and it would also take less space.
I would definitely choose oval. I prefer having a long side and a wide side, this would make it much easier to find a place for the diffuser. I have some at home and just love having the fragrant oil in my home.
I think the round looks more symetrical and is more pleasing to the eye.
I love the round one personally as it feels a lot more elegant to me and I love the way it would look on my table
I prefer the round shape over the oval for the oil diffuser. I feel like the round diffuser fits in better with my overall decor and I would be able to accommodate shelf space for it more than the oval one.
I prefer the round diffuser over the oval one. It is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It also has a smaller footprint than the oval one, therefore saving space.
I prefer round. I rarely like an oval shape in anything. I feel round is more complete and uniform and just "feels" better than something oval.
I choose the Oval diffuser because it is more sleek and artistic than the simple round diffuser. Additionally, the side views of the diffusers show the oval diffuser to appear larger and fuller.
The oval design is prominent and interesting. The product image is creative and alerting.
I would prefer the round one because it looks a little smaller which would be better for my house since we have limited space.
I would prefer the round one because it looks nicer from the side angle and the top view compared to the oval one.
While they are both beautiful, I have to go with the round one. The oval shaped diffuser feels just a slight bit (but not that much) off to me. Also, I feel as if the round one will give it a more even evaporation process when in use, as well as be easier to clean.
I have a preference for things to be round in general so I would choose the brown oil diffuser because that's normally something that I will stick by.
The round looks nicer because it's symmetrical but the oval is more practical because it takes up less space at least in One direction.
I like the round one better. The oval one just looks weird. The round one would fit my aesthetic better.
The oval is pretty but is also thinner and can fit in more places
I prefer the round shape as it just has a nicer look to it. And it would look nice on the little round table that I have in my bedroom.
Personally, I would probably go with oval because it's different than what you would usually see in diffusers these days. It would probably fit on my shelving a little better than a round one.
Round seems more functional to me because it would be easier to fit things into it.
I like the round oil diffuser the most. The oval diffuser looks odd and strange looking to me, for some reason. I feel the round diffuser is more stable due to its broad area and less likely to tip over. If that makes sense. I also like the fact that the "peaks" or elevations are not as tall on the round diffuser and are less noticeable, which I like.
I would chose the round one. The shape is overall more appealing and is similar to what I would expect from this type of product. I like that it seems more even and proportionate. I feel like it would fit more nicely on a square night stand that I have. I would consider the oval option however
I prefer the round one! It is more symmetrical and I like looking at it better.
I prefer round as it's a more typical shape and would look good at any angle
I like the round it's just better placement on your desk or dresser
I prefer oval because the shape is more dynamic and seems to take up a little less counter space. I think it looks more sleek and modern, and fits with my design preferences more.
I would pick round option because it is even more convient for storage
The oval seems to POSSIBLY look better from the front view but ultimately I think that I would choose the round one. Even with me saying that, the only thing I can really say is that's just my personal choice. I just think that the round looks better overall.
i think the oval shape would be the one that i pick because of it has a touch of class to it rather than a simple shape.
I like oval one first it stands out better
I prefer the round shape for the Oil diffuser in the display because it looks more oriental a more expensive look.
I would choose the round oil diffuser. I prefer the fullness and rounder shape.
I think an oval shape would fit better in a variety of locations. The stretched shape would fit better angled on tables and/or in corners.
I lik e the way the bumps are spread out more on the oval versus the round
I would pick round because it will fit in a tight spot better.
I would choose round because it seems to hold more. I would like to be able to run this continuously for a long period of time, so having a vessel that holds more oil is ideal.
I would prefer oval because it looks larger and I like it that way, seems higher in quality.
I would choose the black one for it's color matches everything. I'm not a brown color fan and the round sleek look can be put anywhere and you can hide it or leave it in the open and it looks clean.
Definitely round, the design looks better and is more appealing
The Oil Diffuser I like is the Oval. I love the shape of the Oval Oil Diffuser. I like it better than the round. I think the Oval is bigger or it at least looks that way in pictures.
I like the round. It just makes more spatial sense to me. Circles make me happy. Ovals? Not so much.
The round shape is more average and would fit in more areas.
I prefer the round diffuser slightly over the oval diffuser because to me it looks deeper and studier than the oval shape. This also makes it look slightly more expensive and more of a classic design. It would fit into my decor nicely.
I prefer round — it’s more perfectly symmetrical and more serene looking, and I feel like it’ll match my decor better.
I prefer oval because it has a more egg shaped and natural appearance that suits my aesthetic.
I would prefer the round shape. I feel it would take up less room.
The oval is more slender and would fit in certain places much better.
Both are interesting designs but i feel i would wind up picking up the oval one overall. it looks neat.
I really can barely tell a difference but I guess I like the round one better because the oval seems even more modern and I don't go for modern look in my house.
I like the design of the round Oil diffuser better than the Oval shape. It was a very close choice, but I've always used the round shape. I like the design and easier to clean.
They look similar but I would say round. I really like things that look symmetrical and the roundness is nice on the eye.
I think the round is just overall a better looking shape and have a nicer look
I would likely choose the oval one. The design makes it slightly slimmer in one direction so it could fit better in a lot of different spaces compared to the larger circle one. Otherwise they look very similar so it would come down to how easy it can fit in various places.
I would rather buy round because the oval design just doesn't look nice, just like it's been stretched. I like basic shapes more and the round item meets this requirement and I can thus imagine it easily anywhere in my home.
Round instead oval it just doesn't look good as oval like the presentation on the oval doesn't hold the whole bang for your buck deal.
I prefer the oval design Because it looks more like a design piece the one that looks round gives me kitchen vibes And I don't think it would be good decor, the oval one just looks more stylish
I will choose oval will be liked
I like the oval as it will fit in crowded spaces better
I think the oval is more unique. It seems more like a piece of art and less like a bowl that would have food put in it.
Honestly, I cannot tell the difference between the two diffusers. There's not enough to separate the two. I would be happy with either.
Oval because it would allow more room around it.
Round, oval is an odd shape and does not come off as "even" to me so it would drive me a bit batty to have. It also looks better with the little dips in it and the images are more appealing for the round one.
Round. It looks like I would like the shape of the top more.
I think I like the oval one better...a little different!
I like the oval one because I think it's more attractive and would fit better on my counter too since it's not as wide.
I chose Round because I like the fullness and the wholeness of the look. I like the design element and the overall look.
They are both nice, but I would pick round. I usually like round things better. The oval one might fit better on a shelf, though.
Definitely round for me. I don't like how the oval looks. I guess it might be better if you have limited table space? But I don't see how an extra long version saves space either.
I like both but would prefer the round as it looks like it would take up less counter space.
I would prefer the round one. I like how it's more symmetrical and I feel like it would fit spaces better. I feel like I would knock the oval one more
I would choose the round option to go with my design preferences in my home. I am more drawn to that shape and feel it's more cohesive.
I like the oval one better. I think it is more aesthetically pleasing and does the same thing without taking up as much room.
Round. I like the symmetry and I think it would look better on the counter.
Round is a best design to fit the product if we choose oval means it is not properly hold in the able if we can choose round means it will give good look to the table so i choose round
I like nonsymmetry. I find the oval shape more visually interesting.
I would prefer the round option. It just looks better.
Oval looks like it would be a more pleasant melting pattern for the oil, more space for the oil to move around.
I think round is best, oval just looks kind of "off", round is more balanced and symmetrical than oval is.
I prefer the round shape to the oval shape. It just seems that it feels cozier and more comfortable. I seems it would fit more easily in places.
The oval one looks like it would fit on a narrower shelf, so I would probably pick that one. It would be easier to store.
I prefer the round option. It seems like the more natural shape for a bowl.
I like the oval over the round. The oval takes up less space than the round oil diffuser.
I would choose the round one. I feel like it appeals to me better and would be more stable on a table or shelf. The oval one would need to fit a specific piece of furniture where as the round one would go anywhere.
I don't think they are different enough to make too much of a difference, but the round one stands out more to me.
I would much rather purchase the round oil diffuser because I think it looks more even and I think it looks prettier. The oval shape is too odd looking.
I would prefer oval as I feel like it would be easier to find a space for it in my home than it would be for a round one.
I think I like the round one better. I like the look of it better. It's just more pleasing to me. And I think it would fit in a space better than the oval one would.
I prefer round.
I prefer the oval, because it's a little bit more unique of a shape.
I prefer the round one, it seems like it would take up less space and it looks more quality.

I like the round because I like to have things precise and in order
Oval, seems less likely to fall off or get kno ked off the table
I like the round shape. I just think it would diffuse the oils much better.
I like the oval. It seems like something nice to put on an end table as an accent, not something to be displayed alone.
I think the oval shape is very unique and can fit in smaller spaces or shelves much easier.
I think the round shape would be better because it looks bigger and would be easier to mix the oils.
I prefee the round shape. It us more even and reminds me of a story i read about Buddha.
I would definitely choose the oval. It is more natural and it would fit on a narrow space. There are few things in nature that are perfectly round and a circle takes up more space because the surface it rests on would need to be as wide as it is long. I can find more places to sit an oval base than a round base, so I can use the diffuser in different rooms, especially in rooms where space is sparse.
I would choose Oval. They take an inrregular shape in home decor. Round I associate with poorer quality . I would use the oval one when attempting to impress someone since there seems to be no regard to space the piece takes up.
I prefer the round diffuser shape because it is visually pleasing and symmetrical.
I would choose round because it feels like the scent will be difused more evenly. I know that's probably not the case but it feels like the scent will come out centrally in a circle which would fill a room better
I feel like the oval shape is more practical. It can probably fit on narrower shelves that the fully round one can't.
I would definitely prefer the round design. For a diffuser, I like a simplistic look and an oval just seems like it would take up more space than necessary. A nice, round compact design is definitely better for this. Plus, the round design is cuter :)
I would chose oval bc I feel it’s more unique and would look the best.
I prefer the round shape of the oil diffuser because I think the shape looks a lot more visually appealing to me rather than the oval shape. The oval shape just seems to be a bit odd looking to me.
round. it's easy to put anywhere, and feels more balanced and stable.
