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
