Can the product be handheld, or do you have to keep it flat and bend over a table for 15 min?

Thank you for your inquiry. This unit is handheld. While it does not have to sit flat on the table, we strongly advise keeping this unit mostly upright when in use. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com. Thank you.

Plug in. It also needs to sit flat on a table. My husband is using it daily and is very pleased with the results.

Can essential oils be used in this

I'm an aromatherapist, and I use this for aromatherapy. The danger with adding oils is in the bottom where water is boiled. Essential oils are flammable, and there is a small risk of fire if the water runs out but oil remains on the heating surface. I put on to three drops of essential oils on pads that I stick in the tray on the device. These are the pads that I use -- meant for jewelry but work fine for a steamer. https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Diffuser-Necklace-Thickened-Absorbent/dp/B075FNPKTV/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=felt%2Bpads%2Bdiffuser&qid=1547971434&s=Books&sr=8-2&th=1 Just make sure you know what you're using. These are powerful plant medicines.
