Oasis Portable Humidifier

I received the Oasis Portable Humidifier from Air-N-Mist through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Portable
• Quiet
• Works best for small rooms to medium sized
• Tank-less design (Uses water bottles)

The Oasis Portable Humidifier is a great humidifier to use when traveling. It's easily stored and lightweight. The humidifier can be plug-in at any location as long as there's a USB port, including using with a wall plug or car charger. 

The cord gets plugged into the bottom of the humidifier.  The pegs and notch area cut out of the humidifier helps keep the cord in place. The device sits flat on a surface. 

The tankless design makes the humidifier extremely portable. It makes it easy to travel with the humidifier. There's even a carry bag to that comes with the product to keep all your humidifier accessories together. 

There is a cap or attachment that screws into the humidifier and onto the water bottle lid. I usually try to screw the attachment to the water bottle first to prevent making any messes. The attachment is slightly too big for all the water bottles I tried. It doesn't screw on tight like a water bottle lid. 

I place the humidifier upside down and screw the attachment into the machine. I then flip the humidifier and water bottle into position, where the humidifier is right side up and the water bottle's opening is facing downwards. 

If flipped together, even with the loose attachment on the water bottle, there's very little mess. A drop or two may escape. The water bottle does not leak from the attachment unless the water bottle is squeezed or knocked over. If left alone once in the humidifier, the water bottle shouldn't leak. 

The humidifier does take several seconds, no more than a minute, to start producing mist. The humidifier is a cool mist humidifier. The humidifier produces a lot more mist than I expected. It works very well.

The bigger the water bottle, the longer the humidifier could last before needing refilled. 

Pros:

- Portable

- Lightweight

- Easy to use

- Good amount of mist

Cons:

- Attachment for water bottle and humidifier could get lost
(2 are included with the product)

- Attachment doesn't fit tight on some water bottles
(Smaller the lid cap, the looser it fits)

S3 Soap Dispenser

I received the S3 Soap Dispenser through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Stainless Steel 
• Good capacity size
• Clear body to see soap level

This soap dispenser is a nice looking and easy to use soap dispenser. 

The stainless steel sections on the soap dispenser and pump is made with a good stainless steel material that should help reduce the likeliness that it would ever rust.  It also give the soap dispenser a generic, yet modern, appearance that could fit with many decor styles. It could work in kitchens or bathrooms. 

The clear body is made out of plastic. The clear body provides the ability to see what the soap level is inside the soap dispenser. The plastic feels sturdy. It doesn't feel like it'd break or leak easily. 

The pump is a decent size. It fits well into the soap dispenser, like it should.

I really like how the pump looks. It makes me think of a faucet. It catches my attention due to it's shape.

When I put the lid with the pump onto the soap dispenser with the dispenser being full, I tipped the entire thing upside down to see if it would leak. I even tried shaking it. The dispenser didn't leak at all. I am very pleased that I don't have to worry about it leaking if it gets knocked over on accident.

The pump is a little stiff to push down. It takes a little bit of effort, especially the first few times of using the pump.

The pump provides a good amount of soap. I usually go about half way down with the pump to get the amount I like.

This isn't a type of soap dispenser to use if you mix you're soap with water. It comes out too liquidy, depending on how much soap or water you use for the mixture.

Overall, the soap dispenser performs very well.

Pros: 

- Appearance

- Doesn't leak

- Can see soap level

Cons:

- Pump may be too stiff for someone who is very weak in hand strength

Portable Humidifier Stick

I received the the Portable Humidifier Stick by Air-N-Mist through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Portable
• Helps keep skin healthy
• Helps reduces the spread of germs in the air 
• Helps sinuses not dry out
• Quiet
• Comes with 2 filters (one inside stick already)
• USB cord with on/off button
• Produces a lot of mist 

The Portable Humidifier Stick is very small, easy to store and travel with, and lightweight. 

I was pleased to see that the humidifier stick came with two filters. At first, I thought there was only one until I got the stick twisted open.

Like most humidifiers, the stick works best with distilled water. It helps keep the filter and the humidifier cleaner and no extra build up. I usually don't have distilled water with me, so I use regular tap or spring water. The stick gets a build up on the metal part on top of the stick, where the mist comes out at. The opening to this part is wide enough that I can use to my pinkie nail to help scrap off and clean the metal piece. If I was using distilled water, it's not likely that I'd have this issue. 

The humidifier stick works in cups that are 8 oz in size or smaller. Larger glass work, as long as they are not filled all the way full. Otherwise, the stick could fall beneath the water and not create the mist like it's suppose to and could cause water damage to the charging port and cord. 

The top of the humidifier stick is wide enough that the stick can be used in a water bottle. The stick doesn't fall into a normal, plastic water bottle. The stick does not reach the bottom of the water bottle, so not all the water can be used. 

I've found that the stick works longer using an 8oz cup that's filled up rather than a water bottle because the stick does not fit all the way down into the water bottle. 

The humidifier stick impressed me with how much mist the little stick can provide. I've tried portable humidifiers before that don't let out a lot of mist. This one seems to put out as much steam as a larger humidifier. On the down side, this does cause the stick to go through water faster than if it was putting out less mist. If in an 8oz glass filled up, the stick may not have enough water to be able to run a full 8 hours. I wouldn't recommend using this portable humidifier during the entire night while you sleep. I would recommend using it a few hours before hand to help bring in the moisture to the air. 

Doing this has helped me not wake up with dry sinuses or bloody noses. I'm able to sleep comfortably with the moisture this stick helps bring into the air. 

The humidifier stick works best for smaller rooms, such as a bedroom or bathroom. Living rooms could be too large for the humidifier to put out enough moisture to notice the difference. 

Pros:

- Lightweight

- Puts out a lot of mist

- Comes with 2 filters

Cons:

- Can go through water quick 

- Isn't long enough to reach to use all the water in a water bottle

LED Flameless Candle

I received the Flickering LED Flameless Candle Warm Light by KooPower through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Tealight candle
• Warm white light
• Steady illumination or flickering mode
• 3 AAA batteries 
• 2.4" x 2.4" x 2.4" 
• Cubes made out of clear acrylic 

I really like how this flameless LED candle looks and the box it came in. The candles were well protected in the box. The clear acrylic cube over the candle does give a crystal like appearance. It appearance can add an extra flare to decor styles. 

The candle takes 3 AAA batteries to run. The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the candle. The batteries fit in there very snug. I had to press down on some of the batteries to get them to fully snap into place. 

The switches on the candle are small. It wouldn't be easy to turn on for those who don't have as much hand strength or ability to move those little pegs. The batteries can be difficult to take out. 

There are two different modes to this candle. One is to have a steady, solid light the whole time. It's a warm, white glow. It's not very bright, but enough to help create the candle like appearance. The second mode is for flickering. The candle flickers as if the flame is moving. It's also not a very bright mode. 

I did notice that when my candle came, when ever I would flip it upside down when it was on, the candle light would shut off. It also sounded like there was a piece rattling inside of the candle. It still works when it's sitting upright.

Pros:

- Acrylic cube adds crystal like appearance 

- Warm white glow
- Steady or flickering modes

Cons:

- When tipped over, light turns off when it's on

- Sounds like there's something rattling on the inside

Automatic Soap Dispenser

I received the Ohuhu Automatic Soap Dispenser through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• Infrared sensor 
• 4 AA batteries (not included)
• Wall mount 
• One button operation for turn on/off
• 3 level output (low, medium, large)
• Can dispense: liquid soap, shampoo, shower gel, disinfectant 
• Holds 16.9 oz or 500 mL
• Avoid direct sunlight to infrared sensor 

The Ohuhu Automatic Soap Dispenser is fairly easy to set up and use. The soap dispenser makes it easy to get soap onto your hands or dishes to clean without touching any surfaces beyond turning on the water. Once the Automatic Soap Dispenser is set up, it's simply turning the dispenser on and placing your hand or dish underneath.

The dispenser takes 4 AA batteries to run. The batteries needed wasn't described or shown with the instructions or on the device. The give away is the size of the battery spaces in the compartment. The compartment is easy to open and close.

The base to catch the soap or to use as a wall mount is a bit trickier to get on. The base doesn't just snap on. When I tried just snapping it on, the base got stuck with only one end piece being in place and the other sticking out.

There is a key that goes to this base to unlock and lock the dispenser to the base. The key didn't fit for me right away. The key opening was not lined up the right way. I had to fight with it for a few minutes before I got it working properly.

If you're using the base as a wall mount, I highly recommend leaving enough space for you to get the key in to the base to unlock it from the dispenser. This way, if you when you have to change out the batteries, you won't have to fight with the base and dispenser so much.

I usually store the key under the metal lid that can be slid off at the top of the dispenser, near where the cap is for the soap. There is enough room to keep the key there, so the key doesn't get lost.

The soap dispenser is able to hold 16.9 oz or 500 mL. The opening to put soap into the dispenser is located under the metal opening that can be slid off on top of the dispenser. The screw top lid does not completely seal. It can leak if the dispenser is tipped or knocked over. The dispenser doesn't work right if you use water mixed with soap. It must be a gel or soap like texture to get it to work properly. When I tried it by mixing soap with water, even a little bit of water made the soap dispenser mostly put out water rather than soap. It didn't mix well. If you try to shake it to mix it, soap leaks out and goes everywhere. Shower gel, liquid soap, dishsoap, and shampoo works with this product.

To turn on the dispenser, simply push the black button for 3 seconds to turn on or off the dispenser. Red light indicates that the dispenser is turned off. Green light means it will dispense.

The infrared sensor is not to be in direct sunlight or it can mess up the sensor. Lighting can cause the dispenser to put out soap, whether or not there is a hand or dish in front of the sensor.

Pros:

- Hands free

- Easy to turn on

- Holds 16.9 oz of soap 

Cons:

- Leaks / Can be messy

- Key to base could get lost

- Base can be a pain to unlock

- Infrared sensor may go off due to lighting (may dispense soap randomly)

Christmas Santa Toilet Seat Cover

I received the Ohuhu Christmas Santa Toilet Seat Cover through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Includes: seat cover, rug, water tank cover, and toilet paper box cover
• Flexible material 
• Easy to set up 

The Ohuhu Christmas Santa set for the bathroom is cute and amusing. It's a fun way to have a decoration in the bathroom. 

The fabric used to make this decoration set isn't the best quality. It's seems very thin and plain. The fabric isn't the most durable or long lasting for the rug, water tank cover, or the toilet paper roll cover. Although, considering that this decoration is in the bathroom, you probably don't want the high end type material to get ruined, dirty, or damaged, especially if it's in a frequently used bathroom. 

The rug looks like the outfit or shirt of that's the typical style for Santa. The fabric is softer than I thought it would be. It's feels comfortable under my feet. The backing of the rug have small rubber circles that work as grips to help keep the rug from sliding around on the flooring. I just stuck this rug over the top of the normal one I have near that area to give some extra cushion for the rug. 

The water tank cover is fairly simple. It's just a red cloth with white boarder. There's two elastic strap pieces on either end to help hold the tank cover in place. The tank cover was slightly bigger than the top of my water tank. The straps help hold it in place. 

The toilet paper roll cover is made for a box, but I don't have a box for my toilet paper. It still worked to use it as a cover over the toilet paper holder. It almost didn't fit. The opening was a bit snug to get it on, but once it got over the handles, I was able to position the toilet paper roll cover easily.

The Christmas Santa seat cover is made nicer than the other parts of the set. It's a different type of fabric, mainly because this fabric needs to be stretchy to help fit over the toilet seat.

The face of the Santa is adorable. It makes Santa look very jolly and joyful. The nose, mustache, and hat rim are the main layers that stand out on this seat cover.

The seat cover fits best on rounder seats. Longer seats may be too big for the seat cover to fit on.  The opening of the seat cover is fairly small to keep it in place, but it's very stretchy with the elastic band to help fit it over the biggest parts of the lid.

The seat cover is on both sides of the lid. It's nice on those cold nights where you don't have your back resting on a cold toilet seat lid. Instead, you have the cloth that's covering it.

On the downside, those with bad aim could end up causing sanitary issues with this toilet seat cover since it fits on both sides of the lid. Or you may have those very naughty ones who purposely aim for it. Either way, it's not the easiest product to wash. The fabric it's made out of, much like the rest of the set, makes me weary of whether it'd survive being washed in a machine and the idea of handing washing something that's been on the toilet isn't exactly appealing.

Overall, it's a very cute idea, but it's not the most sanitary or a product that's made to last.

Pros:

- Cute

- Most parts fit well

- Non-slip backing on rug 

- Soft

Cons:

- Not sanitary 

- Not easy to clean

- Fabric is very thin (not good quality fabric)

- Won't last long

Weight Guru Bluetooth Smart Connected Body Fat Scale

I received the Weight Gurus Bluetooth Smart Scale through a promotion.

Product Info: 

• Accurate Measurements from four high quality strain gauge sensors and high precision electronics 
• Easy-to-Read
• 3.25" LCD screen with large numbers and bright blue backlight 
• Measures weight, body mass index, lean mass, body fat, water weight, and bone mass
• Optional Smartphone tracking with bluetooth technology (Must have bluetooth turned on to sync info)  
• Uses App WeightGURUS for Smartphone tracking (with bluetooth) 
• 5 year warranty 
• Uses 4 AAA batteries 
• Stainless Steel Conductors 
• 8 User Memory
• Tempered safety glass platform
• Weighs up to 400Ibs
• List of all Bluetooth compatibility can be found here.  

First thing I noticed when received this scale was how well protected it was in the packaging. I've received other scales where the glass front is not well protected. Items can get broken in shipping very easily, which I'm always worried about. I was very pleased to see how well the company protects their product. 

There was a sticker right on the front of the scale stating what App (WeightGURUS) works with bluetooth to help sync and track the weighing information. The App then gives you instructions on how to sync the scale and the user to the smartphone app. 

I did have a bit of difficulty with trying to set up the users to the scale and sync it to the app with different users. It kept replacing the first user to the new synced device, rather than syncing to the next available user. It took a few tries to get it right.

The scale is super easy to read with several measurements that get taken. I was impressed with how much information the scale provides. I also really liked how it was set up on the App when the information was synced. 

Note: the syncing does not work unless the Bluetooth is turned on on the Smartphone. 

Check this scale out on amazon.

ExceptionalSheets Egyptian Cotton Bath Towels

I received these ExceptionalSheets 900g Egyptian Cotton Bath Towels through a promotion.

Product Info:

• 100% Egyptian Cotton
• Extra-absorbent 
• 30" x 55" 
• 2-ply solid terry cloth
• Machine washable

The first thing I noticed about these towels were that they were a lot thicker and heavy than towels I normally used. They were also very soft to the touch, which is exactly how I like my towels to be.

The threading was done very well. There were no loose ends that would cause unraveling. They towels seemed to be of very good quality.

I washed the towels before using them. I was extremely pleased to find out that the colors did not fade or wash into the other clothes.

After I had showered, I dried off with one of the towels from this set. It was heavy than normal, so it's not a towel to warm around your body unless you're holding it up. It absorbed water quickly to make drying off a breeze. I also noticed that the towel absorbed more moisture from my hair than my other towels had. It made drying my hair much easier.

I also love the variety of colors that the ExceptionalSheets towels come in. There's 17 different colors, which can go with any color scheme.

Check these towels out on amazon.
