Our Verdict

Carepod One

Blueair InvisibleMist

The Blueair InvisibleMist is a better choice for most people than the Carepod One. Their tested humidification capacities are similar, but the Blueair has a built-in humidistat that lets it monitor the room and automatically adjust its output to maintain a selected humidity level. The Carepod requires more manual control since it lacks a humidity sensor, though it's considerably easier to clean thanks to its simpler design. Neither has a particularly impressive runtime, but the Blueair still lasts longer between refills.
