Even with all these bells and whistles, though, I had some major problems with this umbrella’s size. Collapsed completely, the umbrella was several inches taller than all of the rest I tried out, making it less portable than the others.

Sized to sit on your desk, countertop or nightstand. RainMate utilizes pure, fresh water to circulate gently scented air into your home environment. So even with all of the cool features and the high quality of the entire product, this umbrella falls short when it comes to its main purpose: rain protection. All of the umbrellas I reviewed are good quality, portable, and affordable and each have their own special features and designs that make them unique.

While the primary market for this invention was a new type of vacuum cleaner, Rainbow realized that you could also use this technology on a smaller scale as an “air purifier.” This was also the only umbrella I tested that did not collapse automatically with the push of a button, but it was very easy to pull down manually, so that is a plus.

Once the umbrella has closed though, you have to manually push the collapsed canopy down to the handle before you can push the button to open it again, and that takes a little bit of muscle – not a deal-breaker by any means, just something to keep in mind when you take our top travel umbrella out in the rain for the first time. A sturdy skeleton stitched firmly in place that won’t bust open with heavy winds and risk poking you or someone near you in the eyeball. When comparing the best umbrellas for travel, it’s really the little things that make a big difference. So while you don’t want to splurge too much on an umbrella that you run a high chance of losing or barely using, you still want your umbrella to get the job done. Unlike the standard air purifiers we review here at HouseFresh, the Rainbow Rainmate uses water as the filter. The water will need changing when running the unit for a long time.The construction of the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella is very similar to the Rain Mate compact travel umbrella; the only differences between the two compact travel umbrellas is that the Repel is made with a heavier, less comfortable handle and it has Telfon coating.
