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)

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

Gnome Workshop Portable Charger

I received the Gnome Workshop Portable High Speed Charger through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• 10,000 mAh power bank
• Holds 2-3 full cell phone charges 
• Built-in LED indicator light
• Built-in LED flashlight
• Can charge 2 devices at once

First thing I noticed about the Gnome Workshop's portable charger is that it has a slight weight to it. The charger doesn't weight a pound, but if in a purse or back pocket, it will make where you stuck the charger slightly heavier. 

The charger is high speed, as the product description states. It can charge a device quickly. The charger doesn't heat up the battery in the phone with it's quick charge, but the charger itself does get a bit warm near where the light indicators are. It's not warm to the point where it will burn you, but it's warm enough that you'll notice the temperature difference. 

The indicator lights are a bit hard to see. The blue lights can be seen well, but it's hard to determine which box that light is coming from. If you look very closely and at the right angle, you can determine the charge based on the indicator lights.  

The portable charger has a built-in LED flashlight. The flashlight is very bright. To turn the flashlight on, press on the power button and hold it for awhile until the light comes on. To shut it off, hit the power button twice.

I did notice that this portable charger does take a while to charge. I could charge it for four hours and have it reach maybe one or two boxes on the indicator. To get a full charge, I had to leave the portable charger plug-in to charge overnight.

K2R-803 Portable Power Bank

I received the K2R-803 Portable Power Bank through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Portable charger
• Bright flashlight
• 7,800 mAh Battery

The first thing I notice when I received this product was the container or box the power bank came in. It was well protected and convenient. The package contained the power bank, as well as LED micro and lightning cables. Both cables are a good three feet if not longer. 

The cables were nice and durable. They're thicker, so they're not as easily bent or broken. There is a light on the end of each of the cables that light up when the device (a cellphone, tablet, etc.) is charging. 

The power bank is easy to charge. Using the micro cable with an outlet/plug-in, the power bank takes several hours to fully charge. I usually charge it during the night, so it's charged by morning when I can take it with me.

The power bank weighs about 8 ounces. It's lightweight compared to many other power banks I've tried.

The two lights that make up the flashlight are very bright. They're above the Out 2A port.

The 4 LED lights that indicate how much the device is charged can be a bit difficult to see how much charge is truly left. All four lights end up being lit or look lit, even if there's only one 25% left to the battery or charge. A few of the blue lights will be brighter appearing than the others, which the brighter lights are how much charge is left.

I was confused the first few times I used this device because I wondered why the charged never seemed to go down until it was completely dead. That's when I noticed the issue with the LED lights indicator. They all look lit, but there will be a few that are brighter to show the charge.

I've gotten 2-3 full charges to my cell phone with the power bank without having to recharge the power bank. I had used my phone during the time it was charging on the power bank. If I had not been using it, I would have gotten more full charges out of the power bank.

The power bank doesn't overheat my phone when it's charging. Out 1A port charges the fastest.

Overall, this has been a very good power bank that's light weight and holds several full charges. I'm impressed with how well it worked.

Mini Flexible Tripod Stand for Cell Phone

I received the Mini Flexible Tripod Stand for Cell Phones through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• Portable 
• Lightweight 
• Collapsible 
• Durable 
• Flexible and adjustable 
• 360-degree swivel to angle phone

When I first received this tripod, the first thing that I noticed was how lightweight the tripod was. It surprised me. The lightness makes it easy to carry around with you when traveling, camping, hiking, etc. 

There's a rubber or silicone tab that you may pull on to fit the phone into the clamp. The clamp holds the phone tight to keep it from falling. The clamp does not fit on the phone length wise, but the swivel ball allows you to angle the phone up and down with the clamp holding the phone sideways. Bonus: The clamp spreads wide enough that you can fit a phone in without taking off it's case, even with an Otterbox.

The swivel ball allows you to angle the phone in all different directions. Although, I did notice the swivel ball can pop out if the clamp is pulled on too hard. The screw that helps close a clamp around the swivel ball does not close tight enough or the clamp doesn't go high enough to ensure that the ball stays in place. That could make less angles possible or that swivel ball to move as much as it can currently. 

The legs or stands has a soft fabric over the legs to help provide some grip and comfort with holding the tripod. The rubber feet at the button helps hold the tripod in place from sliding around. The legs are flexible, so it is able to be wrapped around a pole or surface. I just wish the legs had more of a gripper on them to make sure it is held in place.

Universal 2-in-1 USB Wall Charger & Portable Power Bank

I received the Universal 2-in-1 USB Wall Charger and Portable 3000 mAh Power Bank by Sunlabz through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Combined wall charger with portable power bank
• LED lights at end of power bank indicates how much power is in power banlk
• Wall Charger spec - Input AC 100-240V~50/60Hz 0.15A - Output DC 5V-1A
• Can be recharged from outlet, vehicle, or by computer
• Wall Charger and power bank connected by USB
• Power Bank 3000 mAh
• Holds enough to charge cell phone twice 
• Comes with USB cord (Similar to charging cords as Androids) 

When I first got this power bank and wall charger, I didn't think it'd hold much. I figured it either be a really slow charge or not that much power. I am very pleased to say I was wrong in my original thought of the power bank. 

This power bank is able to charge my android twice, if I use all the power the power bank can hold. It charges similar to when charging a cell phone from the wall or outlet. It isn't a super fast charge, but it's also not a slow one. It doesn't over heat the battery. 

The charger can get a little warm when charging the device, but it does not get overheated or hot.

I love that the power bank can be charged by a wall outlet, which it has the wall charger attached to it, or by a USB outlet (computer, vehicle, wall, etc.).

I usually keep the wall charger and power bank together. I only take them apart to get the prongs out on the all charger to charge the power bank. Otherwise, I keep them together when I'm using the portable power bank. 

This portable charger is fairly light and can fit in your purse or pocket. It makes it easy to carry around without adding too much extra weight. 

I love that you can see the power bank's LED lights to indicate how much power is in the device and when it's fully charged. The lights can be bright, so I don't charge it in my bedroom at night. It does take a few hours to fully charge. (The more power within the power bank already, the less time it takes to charge.)

The power button and USB plug in on the bottom side (or top, depending on how you have it plugged into the wall to charge) allows you to charge your cell phone or tablet while charging the power bank.

Portable Charger 3000MAH +Lifeguard Mini 1

I received the +LifeGuard Mini 1 Portable Charger through a promotion.

Product Info:

• 3000mAh Capacity 
• Charges 100% on 1.5 to 2.5 hours
• Apple charging cord included
• USB charging cord for portable charger and androids included
• Aluminium shell makes impact resistant 
• Can be recharged more than 800 times
• Is compatible with many devices. (Full list on amazon.)

I'm used to a portable charger that's huge and chunky. The +LifeGuard Mini 1 Portable Charger is so much smaller, like 1/3 of the size of my other charger. It's so much easier and lighter to carry around. It doesn't hold as much charge as my bigger charger, but it can still charge 1 full charge to 1 1/2 full charges. It just depends on how much I use my phone during and after the charge.

One main thing I like is that this charger does not cause my phone to overheat and neither does the charger. My other charger gets extremely warm during use. The aluminum shell on the +LifeGuard Mini 1 causes the portable charger to get very cool if left out in the cold.

The only issue I've had with this charger is not knowing how much charge is left on it. I can't see if there's a partial or full charge on it unless I'm charging the portable charger.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
