With many diffusers of this basic shape, they feel plasticy… well… because they're plastic, and therefore feel sorta "cheap". I ordered this one because the listing said it was ceramic. And indeed, the larger part of it is. The outer dome cover is a substantial, well textured ceramic type material, like what you would expect of a ceramic pot. Lift off that cover and underneath you'll find the plastic water container with a well fitted plastic cover that prevents splashing and condensate from causing drips while the unit is operating. The black base is also plastic. But the larger part… the outer cover… looks and feels nicer than many of the all plastic diffuser models I've seen, making this unit feel more substantial and look a bit more upscale. Sound… The only sound I hear coming from it is the occasional light sound of water droplets dripping from the inner cover back into the water reservoir. Not obtrusive at all. The power wall plug is wide rather than long so doesn't block the other plug of the outlet as some power units do. It has two simple buttons… One that turns the unit ON that will allow the unit to operate until the auto shut-off turns the unit off when it's out of water, then with repeated pressing will cycle between timers for 3 or 6 hours of operation. The second button toggles between no light, individual colors of subtle light of various shades, and a setting that slooowwly fades from one color to the next in sequence. I haven't yet ran the unit completely dry from full, but based on the 250ml capacity, my experience with other diffusers, and the amount of mist this one produces, I'd say that the operating time estimates provided in the listing are fairly accurate if not a little conservative. In other words, I would expect this unit to produce mist for at least the 6-8 hours claimed, if not longer. Overall, if looking for a simple to operate diffuser that sort of blends into the background without drawing a lot of attention to itself, has a nicer look and feel than some of the all plastic versions, and seems to do its job well, then this one is definitely worth considering. I really do like the ceramic outer cover/lid on this one. I currently have and use three diffusers regularly in different rooms, and will definitely continue using this one. I didn't bother with photos since mine looks exactly like what's pictured in the listing photos of the black version.
