Electrolux EHU-5515D

Advantages: Powerful, silent. He copes with the main task perfectly well.

Disadvantages: I have two such humidifiers and each one has a bug. At the first, the water sensor stuck and it did not always turn on after filling, I had to swing it until it started. Solved the problem by placing a washer under the float limiter.

At the second from the very beginning the fan rustled, it turned out it was not evenly mounted on the axle. He straightened his hands and began to work almost as silently as the first.

And now the most important thing. After 2 years of work, both humidifiers began to make a lot of noise. An autopsy revealed that both had dust on the fan. Cleaning the fan and lubrication again helped, but for some reason Electrolux came up with the idea of ​​screwing the lid of the device not with ordinary screws with a cruciform head, but with cunning T20 torxes with a pimple in the middle. That is, for its analysis you need a T20 screwdriver and in the middle there should be a hole. I found this, but it is not easy, so most users will either put up with the noise, or run for a new one, or to a service center. And cleaning the device is a trifling matter, the schoolchild can do it if it were not for the cunning screws.

Comment: Of course, this device is not the most convenient water filling system, but it is caused by security reasons. In the form in which this device is made, it can leak only in case of mechanical damage to the case, which is unlikely. If they had made a removable water tank with a bay on top, over time this could lead to water leakage. So I understand the designers. Yes, and what is the device to wear 7 liters of water?

I pour water from the filter with reverse osmosis. Cartridges have not changed once, there is no white bloom anywhere else in the device or next to it.

I have a house 140 meters. Two devices work. In winter, both must be refilled 2 times a day. So I would like to tank a little more than two times. But this would have been a completely different device.

I don’t like the auto mode, it determines the desired humidity by an unclear algorithm, sometimes it’s 40%, sometimes 50%, and we need 60% for comfort, we have to tune it with our hands. But in manual mode, the device can not regulate the power itself, you have to set it to the maximum. It is strange that Electrolux did not think of making a manual mode with setting the humidity threshold and auto selection of evaporation power.

Advantages: Really moistens the air, fairly quiet, pretty, makes life easier in the room

Disadvantages: The built-in hygrometer always shows the wrong value.
When spraying from the top on the device and from the direction of the jets of steam, puddles form (it can be removed by periodic wiping every 3-4 hours or after night)
The benefits of the built-in operating modes - Auto and Night - did not catch (I use the installation manually)
Filling with water from the bottom (it would be possible to provide a tank lid from above, not critical, adapted)

Comment: It should be in a dry room, for a week and a half, it raised the humidity to 32 percent from 32 percent in the evening-night mode of operation at full capacity, while having spent 40 liters of water. At the time of writing reviews after a night of work humidity is 40%.More effective moistening occurs at full power when the preheating mode is on and when the window and door are closed (moisture is felt in the air, breathing is hard). At night, the heater is turned off. From the very beginning we use distilled water. The filter with ion exchange resin removed before first use, no white and other deposits are observed. To measure the humidity, we use the simplest Boneco needle hygrometer, which lies at the opposite end of the room. It became easier to sleep, the nose does not dry up in the morning as it used to, the throat has stopped tickling. When you open the window-door for a long time, the humidity drops rapidly, but this is physics. Fill the jug with water and "park" with it into place - ok - hold the built-in handle.

Advantages: Modest size
Well moisturizes
You can direct the steam in 2 directions (2 separate nozzles).
Convenient handle at the tank
Big tank
Quiet (compared to models with fans - without ultrasound).

Disadvantages: Humidity sensor is lying
Everything around the device and the device itself during operation is wet.
It is not convenient to pour water into the tank, because the tank does not become flat on the surface upside down.

Comment: I use water from a reverse osmosis filter, therefore, there are no raids and other things. There is some kind of filter with silver in the humidifier, and the instructions say that it is recommended to use tap water, but no filter of this degree of purification like osmosis will provide.
Strains that steam from the humidifier is thrown up just half a meter up and to the same side. Appropriately, with intensive moistening, the device itself, and everything around is WET. Naturally, water. Prizoditsya put higher - then the area of ​​distribution is more. I stand on a dresser 1.5 meters from the floor - the floor is no longer wet.
The workmanship is quite decent - nothing leaves, everything is neat, all the joints are even, the screen is not too bright (it doesn’t interfere with sleep).
Automatic mode is not tested)

Advantages: A very necessary thing in the winter - the batteries make the humidity in the room less than 20%! In the summer - almost not included.
Able to moisten the room over 20 meters, my wife and I have problems with dry skin and crusts on the mucous membranes of the nose, which were formed during the night. Normal design and management. With filtered water in St. Petersburg, I didn’t see any plaque.

Disadvantages: 1. Even when the humidity has reached the norm and it turns off - it can be heard vseravno, the hum from the device goes right after plugging it into the outlet. In the mode of evaporation - the noise is more, I can sleep, but my spouse does not.
2. The built-in hygrometer is lying (humidity is growing faster around the device) - it is better to buy a separate one for a small amount of money and place it at the other end of the room.
3. There is no protection from children - a child from 1 year old can safely turn it on and off.

Comment: It is necessary to take into account that such a device cannot be placed on the floor, either a shelf or a high chest of drawers or a table is needed. Yes, and it is necessary to put so that the child did not get it.
If you live in a room with 2 cast-iron batteries - it will have to work around the clock.
Filling the tank is a 3-4 jug filter, that is, 10-20 minutes of time.

Advantages: Moisturizes well. We finally stopped waking up with a sore sensation in the nasopharynx. Management is simple. To refuel through the bottom is not annoying. White scurf has so far been noted only on the device itself around the nozzle, but is easily removed simply by a damp cloth. I don’t know, maybe this is not the scurf they write about - our water is soft, sometimes too :)

Disadvantages: Periodically, after topping up the water, it first turns on, then pauses and blinks with an indicator of lack of water. It is treated with a slight rocking of the device - the water begins to splash in the tank and the device turns on. However, if you do not touch it, after a while it still turns on itself.
Periodic gurgling - I have nothing, but my wife has a keen sleep, and sometimes wakes up. But this is not critical.
Well, I take a hygrometer just as a decoration, no benefit from it.

Comment: His money works out completely. Living after buying it has become much easier. The device constantly migrates from the room to the son’s bedroom (the purchase of a second humidifier is in the plan).
Hall area - 19 m2, bedrooms - 13 m2; in the bedroom quickly enough raises the humidity to the desired level, in the hall when the heating is turned on, the door is open and the window leaves, to achieve the desired humidity, you have to work 5-6 hours.
In general, the device is satisfied, we recommend to buy.

Advantages: Design
Noiselessness

Disadvantages: Bay system

Comment: Long chose a humidifier, read a cloud of reviews. Stopped on this model. In the end, the choice pleased. Of course, the water inlet system is crooked, you have to drag it to the kitchen every two days (1 tank is enough for 2 nights). Well at least a pull-out mixer, do not shove the tank into the sink itself. Sleep has become definitely stronger, the mucous does not seem to dry out. As for the white plaque, it depends on the hardness of the water, which varies in different regions. We have almost zero stiffness in St. Petersburg, so there is no white plaque at all. We don't even fall asleep in the dishwasher: no need. As for the noise, it makes some noise, of course, but this does not prevent me from falling asleep, neither to me, nor to my wife. In general, I recommend this humidifier to purchase.

Advantages: Design, quiet, well settled

Disadvantages: Inconvenient filling of the tank with water, not mobile, like many sometimes glitches (see comments)

Comment: Realizing that the difference between 5515 and 5525 is only in color (it is not clear why the second one is sold at the same time more expensive), they took 5515. The design is really nothing, but compared to the previous one, the Boneco 7135 is rather cumbersome. In Boneko, the tank was also dibilno-filled (below), but at least there was a handle on the tank above the center for carrying, and with this it’s not enough to fill up every time, so also to put it full then on the pallet so as not to pinch your fingers below - this is a matter of skill.
With regards to glitches that others have: I will not even write about a gyroscope - having read reviews right there, I don’t even look at it)) I’m feeling whether I’m feeling wet enough in a room or not. Sometimes it makes a fool of saying that there is no water - it’s up to you to poke a finger into the white float in the pan (water indicator).
There are no raids around, from which many suffer so much, but there are small raids on the humidifier itself (especially on the nozzle) and inside (mostly around the place where the steam comes from). I am washing it with silite, I don’t know if it is possible, it seems to help ..
Now about the pros: it moisturizes really well and fairly quickly, no worse than expensive boneko (for that matter, the steam output modes had a little more), the menu is simple, convenient. Breathing becomes much easier and more enjoyable. Even pets during work are lying under it))
We fill the water only from under the filter - one ultrasonic humidifier has already been killed, pouring water from the tap, in consequence of which the membrane has flown. With regards to filters (replaceable filter cartridges), which can be hard to find, there was a replaceable filter unit for Boneko, to our surprise it was discovered that all these filter cards, like the thing they are screwed in to fix on the tank, are completely the same and suitable for all brands, so that "filters only for Elektrolyuks" and "filters only for Boneko" - this is just marketing.
In general, the quality-price ratio is quite acceptable, although of course it could be cheaper) I am satisfied with the device - I advise.

Advantages: Normal working, quiet, friendly interface

Disadvantages: The water inlet system is not thought out.

Comment: We bought a humidifier because we settled in a very dry apartment. They really didn’t sleep well at night, whether you’re asleep or not ... some kind of suspense. My wife began to form some kind of crust in her nose, in the morning she had a sore throat. We bought this device and were pleasantly surprised: overnight everything changed. We and our little children began to sleep better. It works very quietly, sometimes it gurgles, but we began to sleep so well that it does not bother us. The flowers standing next to him were noticeably prettier.
But I would really like to look into the eyes of the designer of this mega-humidifier, who invented such a system of water intake ... The Kamasutra is resting. Although of course there is nothing wrong, but not convenient. Probably I will cut a hole myself from above, and insert a cork in order to be able to add water. Nah you need to carry it all the time and fill it up entirely, if you can safely fill it up with a bottle of one and a half penny where it stands?
In short, the device performs its work by 5. The space for skillful hands is left. Final grade 5-

Advantages: Moisturizes perfectly, quiet in operation, easy to operate.

Disadvantages: In the night mode, gurgles, but rarely.

Comment: Before you buy, I’ve been reading reviews, and in general I made the following conclusions: someone doesn’t give a humidifier to sleep (makes noise), someone’s dryness disappeared or (he still got to sleep on the bed), helped someone to find happiness and health; in general, I realized that we need it. It was determined with the manufacturer, as if the Germans calculated the area of ​​moisture, ideal for children in the house, an excellent interface. water lasts for 1-2 days, water is best through the filter, healthier and more healthy Th "warm steam" is against bacteria, is also a plus. We bought 5500 rubles through the online store. It is acceptable. I advise who can not decide.

Advantages: 1. Moisturizes the air ;-), no, no kidding - it became easier to breathe.
2. High-quality execution, the device is very well "licked", makes an impression of an expensive toy.
3. Convenient menu, clear indication of operating modes, good display brightness (not blinding at night).
4. Large tank - about 5 liters, enough for the night.

Disadvantages: 1. A short power cord (for that kind of money it would be possible to wind off more wires).
2. After switching off the device, the settings are not saved, that is, you have to re-select the mode of operation, humidity, etc.

Comment: Concerning noise:
Of course you can hear it, especially at night, so everyone here decides for himself whether it is good or bad. From myself I can say that the noise from it is comparable to the noise of a quiet system unit.
