Type: are all travel humidifiers cold mist?
Most of the travel humidifiers we have selected release a cold mist so that the dry air can become cool and adequately moist. For example, the Fancii Cool Mist Personal Humidifier gives out light and cooling mist. However, you will also find warm humidifiers on the market. If you want a product that will give you the best of both worlds, you can go for the Pure Enrichment MistAire Travel which heats up the water after a while and releases a warm mist.
Bottle and non-bottle humidifiers
There are different types of humidifiers available on the market, and you will have to choose the kind that works best for your needs. Some humidifiers come with a bottle that is tailor-made for them. You will have to use that particular bottle when you want the machine to work. On the other hand, there are some humidifiers like the Hunter QLS03-WT that can accommodate all standard water bottles. This is convenient because you will just have to carry the humidifier when you are traveling. There are some humidifiers like the JAYWAYNE Portable Mini Humidifier that are compatible with glasses, mugs, and bottles.
Portability: size and weight of a travel humidifier
When it comes to a travel humidifier, you cannot discount the importance of portability. You will have to take the size and weight of the model into account in order to understand how portable it will be. Make sure that you can carry it in your bag without any problem. Humidifiers like the MADETEC Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier and the Fancii Cool Mist Personal Humidifier have a compact design and are perfect for travelers. Portable humidifiers are also lightweight, so they do not weigh down your bag or luggage.
The way to charge your travel humidifier
You must take care of your humidifier if you want it to last for a long time. Charge it regularly using the recommended means. Most of the models on the list are either powered by USB, but there are other options as well, powered by batteries or through AC adaptors.
Humidifier runtime
You need to take into consideration how long you want your humidifier to work. Humidifiers do not come with a standard run-time. It differs from model to model depending on the capacity and the design. If you feel that your humidifier needs to work overnight, then you should go for models that have a longer runtime. The Figrol USB Portable Mini Humidifier can give you 24 hours of runtime off 1 liter of water.
The area it can cover
When you are buying a travel humidifier, it is important that you get an estimate of the area it needs to cover before making a choice. For example, if you want to cover a large area, then getting a humidifier with a small capacity is a bad idea. You will need a model like the JAYWAYNE Portable Mini Humidifier that puts out plenty of mist over a long period of time and can cover an entire room. On the other hand, if you want a humidifier for a small hotel room, you can settle for models like the Figrol USB Portable Mini Humidifier that are not as powerful.
Noise level
You should not feel disturbed when the travel humidifier is running. If the humidifier is switched on for long periods of time and makes noise constantly, then you will get frustrated after a while. You will not be able to use it at night either because the noise will not allow you to sleep. Models like the Fancii and MADETEC humidifier run very quietly and do not make any sound to disturb you. They use advanced technologies that cut down on the sound when the machine is working.
In fact, most of the models on our list will give you a noise-free experience.
Warranty
All travel humidifiers must come with a warranty period so that you can build faith in the manufacturer. You can gauge a company’s faith in its products by the warranty they offer. The Pure Enrichment MistAire Travel humidifier comes with a 5-year warranty, which is the longest on our list and probably the longest available for such a small and affordable unit.
Extra features
Travel humidifiers are much more advanced now, and you should keep an eye out for extra features that will make them more convenient to use. The auto shut-off feature is a must because it increases the safety of the machine. The humidifier will automatically shut off after the water is over.
You should also check if the humidifier has filters that will ensure that the water being dispersed is clean.
Most recent models also come with timers so you can adjust the runtime as you wish. You might also in-built lights helpful because they will allow you to see in the dark and also act as night lights. The MADETEC Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier encompasses all these features.
