A portable
Humidifier is an effective way to help you combat the effects of exposure to the harsh dry air while traveling on a plane or staying in a hotel room. Dry eyes, dry skin, nosebleeds, dry sinuses or cracked lips are all telltale signs that the humidity level in your environs could be low. Adding a fine cool mist of water to the air, while you sleep, via a small
Mini Humidifier, can significantly remedy these symptoms, often overnight.
With so many options available, it can be difficult to figure out what the difference is between an evaporative humidifier, an ultrasonic humidifier complete with demineralization cartridge and an
Essential Oil Diffuser. So to simplify your life, we went out and found some of the best portable humidifier options suitable for any smallish space, perfect for your hotel room or travel.
Portable humidifiers are small but mighty devices that help increase moisture level in the air and raise the humidity, no matter where you are. They come in many different forms, depending on your preferences. Some use a water bottle as a tank, for example, while others have a built-in water reservoir.
Most portable humidifiers use cool mist ultrasonic technology, which uses high-frequency sound vibrations to create water particles that get expelled into the air, raising the air's moisture level. Unfortunately, we could not identify a portable evaporative humidifier, which is generally considered to be healthier. Regular cleaning of these ultrasonic humidifiers is especially important to avoid introducing contaminants into the air like mold growth, dust, and bacteria.
As you probably guessed, a travel humidifier will not add moisture to an entire house. At a minimum, it will increase the humidity of the air immediately around you (such as when placed on a bedside table); at most, it can be used to humidify a small room (about 200 sq ft).
