Venta LW 45

Advantages: adequately quiet. well moisturizes

Disadvantages: for such a simple design - it's just not decent money - insanely expensive !!! Expensive hygienic additive.

Comment: I have been using the week since November 1, 2014. I didn’t decide for a long time to buy, I thought it was worth taking or not. During the heating season, we sneeze together (the husband is an allergy), and my mucous membranes dry up - cough, bleeding from the nose, etc. ... ultrasonic humidifier, after which all the furniture in a white raid. The apartment is 72 square meters. Installed in the bedroom. The door does not close. And an important fact is a small draft of the old Stalinist house in the bedroom. In the bedroom there are permanent residents: two small dogs and a lot of living plants in including high and loving high humidity. The first two days, the humidity from 18% rose to 21% during the day the device worked at 3 speeds, and at night it did not impress me at that rate, and I filled a bottle of hygienic additive. The situation changed, the hygrometer began to grow before my eyes - 32% on the third day and 50% on the 6th day, considering that the device works at 1 speed at night and at 2 in the afternoon for 5 and 6 days. The hygrometer (not original) is located next to the bed, and the air washer at the other end of the room near the balcony door. cleaning the air, did not notice much difference, the odors almost did not diminish, p whether there are two small lumps in the pallet. The yellow color on the middle rings of the drums. At the moment I am quite happy with the level of humidity — coming from work and going into the apartment corridor there really is a difference - the air has become nicer and softer or something ... Regarding noise: I 1 speed I almost never hear I sleep without problems. 2 speed — I hear from the next room, and 3rd is of course horror)) you can hear it from the kitchen with the door closed. For me, the main requirement is the quality of humidification. As for aromatic additives, I didn’t like it. Smells with chemical notes, apparently due to an additive that helps oils dissolve in water (i.e. it’s impossible to drip the essential oil into the device because it will pop up on the surface of the water). I can close my eyes to the high price if the device works non-stop for at least 8 years. If you do not take into account the price of the device, then the estimate is solid 5 *****!

Advantages: Good moisturizes. In second gear with the windows closed and raises humidity from 30 to 40-45% in a three-room apartment of 85 m2. Per day takes 10 liters of water.
10 years warranty

Disadvantages: Noisy. In first gear, you can hear if you are near him. That is, if you put in the bedroom, we will interfere with sleep. The second is clearly audible at the other end of the hall (about seven meters). The third one is buzzing so that you can hear it in the next room.
Dear. A plastic bucket with a fan should not cost that much.
And even at this price, the fan is not exactly centered. The naked eye can see that he goes from side to side during rotation. Maybe it does not affect the reliability, but for 20 thousand p. could and more precisely cast parts.

Comment: Not worth the money, but if they are not sorry and not afraid of the noise, then you can take.

Advantages: Visually its size creates the feeling of being suitable for a large room. This is compared to conventional humidifiers, the size of which does not inspire confidence. Water evaporates almost full tank per day. Specialist. there are no devices for measuring humidity, but the sensations have become a bit more comfortable, fresher. At 1 speed you can sleep with him in 1 room, but if you had a hard working day and you will fall asleep at least under a disco. 2 speed - comfortable all day. At 3 speeds it seems that the microwave is constantly running. For a couple of weeks accustomed. It should be worth it, only water is poured every day.

Disadvantages: Price. It’s just nonsense to dump 20,000 for this “invention” (bought for 10,000 “repaired”, but as it turned out completely new, thanks to a large network retailer).
Wash - no wash. After watching video reviews, videos on YouTube, customer reviews were almost sure that there would be less dust in the air. Dreams .... Having carefully watched the operation of the device, I realized that there is no question of cleaning 40m2. Maximum 1x1 around the device. The design should be somewhat different so that the fan creates pressure and suction. Then I see that the fan just drives the nearby air. Leave a meter and a half, dust as flies and flies. One thing pleases - you can see it only in Pts. sunny weather.

Comment: I wanted to sell it back or sell it back, but I decided to leave it. It seems like a normal thing for a humidifier. I do not want to get involved with cheaper units, I think there will be more than enough negative impressions. Now I am looking for a unit for all the same air cleaning.
For those who have something there, they are tormented - the first hour was also surprised, but then I realized that the motor makes constant clicks and the wheels rotate, but looking carefully I realized that the wire was interfering, because of which the top cover didn’t get a bit (1mm) from one edge . For wire there is a small groove on both sides. Move it and the lid will close tightly, thus getting rid of clicks. After 3-4 weeks already, the disks were covered with a small bloom (a la enriched tap water) and the water began to evaporate more. Hours for 20-22 - full tank.

Advantages: I use it for a very long time, until I am satisfied with everything, it moisturizes, it collects dust.

Disadvantages: The price is too high, the plastic bucket should be cheaper!

Comment: The device was taken with a reserve by volume, and copes well in my area, I have very dry in the heating season, although with the declared area of ​​70 squares most likely it will not cope

Advantages: Power, ease of maintenance, lack of consumables (*).

Disadvantages: High price, noisy fan

Comment: I bought a few months ago, a week ago I bought a thermometer-hygrometer to it as well - VENTA with a Swiss sensor, in order to evaluate the performance of a miracle product for 20 meters. So: the initial data - November, the temperature outside the window - 4-7 heat, humidity about 28%, room temperature - 24, humidity about 30%. Immediately I must say that if you have the slightest draft in your apartment, you will be confused by the humidifier - 0! With fully closed doors and windows (including the bathroom because there is an exhaust) for 3 hours the humidity rises from 30% to 55% throughout the apartment (65 square meters). If you open a window in the adjacent room (communicating with the target room through the corridor), then in the target room the humidity is about 40%; in a room with an open window, the humidity is like outside. thirty%.
The medically recommended humidity is 45-55%.

A few words about the hygienic additive: if you are sorry to spread 1500r every year, then at least fill those two bottles of supplements that come with the sink.One immediately with water, the second after a month of operation and the first wash of the device. Let me tell you why this is necessary: ​​cunning Germans made drum plates from some kind of cunning plastic, which, as it were, repels plain water. The situation changes when you add a hygienic additive that changes the properties of water and (possibly) plastic. Now the water normally wets the plates (the tool itself does not evaporate at the same time), and the evaporation rate significantly (according to my observations, 4-6 times) increases.
I personally add 50 ml every month after thoroughly washing the device.

Advantages: This device was advised to me, and he justified his appointment. Now I have two Venta LW45 Plus - in the second room (with a child). The humidity is controlled by a Venta hygrometer, which is verified by metrology and is 55% with regular airing of rooms. Yes, it is more convenient to drag water with 6 liter plastic bottles, and the device itself should not be dragged. Only when preventive washing of the pallet and drum. Washing is not difficult - with a dish brush and detergent. No failure of the device in part of the electricity - the buttons are sealed.

Disadvantages: The price could be lower.

Comment: Great device design. Fully performs the stated functions, works in the heating season for the third year. I do not use any additives and I make 5 or 6 times a season. The device is exceptional by the natural evaporation of water, the humidity is kept at the same level, which means that upon reaching 60% relative humidity, the evaporation of water slows down the opposite. Any humidifier with other kind of moistening does not possess such property. You can pour hard water without worrying about the white bloom on furniture, TV, technology, and other humidifiers - such bloom quickly form throughout the apartment. Electricity consumption is negligible - 8 W! Almost silent - 25 dB at first speed. Natural oils can be used if desired.

Advantages: Perfectly moisturizes the air. Easy to use and wash the pan. Dust remains in the water.

Disadvantages: Takes a lot of space. Expensive! It should not be worth a piece of plastic with a propeller 15 thousand. But cheaper is nothing more adequate in the market there.

Comment: I'm allergic. Horror. Allergy to any dust and flowering. I can’t sleep normally, but during the day my nose is blocked and I sneeze all the time, although my wife washes the floors every day, it’s all the same when the sun is out the window, it’s clear that there is a lot of dust in the air. In general, I decided to try to buy a car wash. Money was a pity, but health is more expensive. I read a bunch of reviews, there are both positive and negative, so I did not count on a strong effect. I was surprised, but on the first night it became much easier to breathe. They write that noise. In fact, it stands next to the bed, on the unit it is not audible at all, with a two, you can sleep at ease, on a three only in the afternoon. They write that the water is clean and does not collect dust. Collects, but you need to fill the fluid that is included. In general, I definitely recommend breathing problems. I was reinsured and took LW45 for a room of 20 meters, in fact, LW25 would be enough.

Advantages: comfortable, productive, quiet

Disadvantages: I haven't noticed yet

Comment: After getting acquainted with what is on the market, I came to the conclusion that this is the most powerful model among the air washers. For the big room it is.
It moisturizes well - during the day all the water from the tank evaporates, it becomes much easier to breathe, this difference was especially noticeable in winter when the heating was working.
Now I use it more as a cleaner, as the windows are constantly open, a lot of dust flies from the street. Of course, this is not an ultra-fine cleaning, which is logical - water will not filter the air like any professional filters, but it cleans very well from ordinary house and street dust.
The design is collapsible - it is very easy to clean, you can even get to the fan and wipe it with a rag.
In the first mode, it works silently, but this mode is the most low-power, so I turn it on only at night, the rest of the time it works in 2 or 3 modes.

Advantages: - simplicity of a design
-natural air humidification (unlike UZ, with their white bloom from ordinary water)
-high quality requirements for water (in 99% of cases, ordinary tap water is sufficient)
-water level sensor
- pens on the pallet (44 models do not have them)
-the ability to add essential oils (this is from a series - turn your house into a coniferous forest for 15 minutes)

Disadvantages: -overpriced. but it is quite a by the laws of the genre.
-mb bulkiness. but it is quite clear why.
- a thin power cord (it does not disconnect, although it would be logical to see a euro plug on one side and a plug of eight on the other)
- at first speed it is not that noisy, you can sleep, but it creates a certain background.

Comment: Before operation, it is highly desirable to familiarize yourself with the instruction, which states that in rooms with low humidity for the first few days it (humidity) will grow extremely reluctant, because around a bunch of things and furniture that will be intensively absorbed.

in my case, the device works around the clock (it is in one of the rooms of a three-room apartment, the doors are always open), and confidently raises the humidity after airing from 20% to 40%. in the installation room - up to 50%. and this is in 2-3 hours. (I measure with two hygrometers).

can be more intense - at the third speed, 30-40 minutes. with the arrival of cold weather, I think the duration will increase, because when airing there will be more dry air.

as you can see, the device regularly performs its functions. but without miracles that someone would like to see (here you can advise only a couple of pots in the kitchen to put on fire).

p.s. frosts began (-17), and accordingly became stronger to drown. the device stopped coping if you left the door open. The maximum gives 34% at the 3rd speed.
if the door is closed, then everything is still up to 50 in 20 minutes after airing.

Advantages: German quality, made neatly and clearly that is reliable, a large guarantee of 10 years! Convenient to wash and pour water, not bubbling, quiet, moisturizes and cleans 100%

Disadvantages: Not. The perfect air wash!

Comment: A month ago, bought a car wash Venta LW45, decided to write a review, because sooo pleased with the purchase!
We had dry air in the bedroom due to the heating. They woke up constantly with dry noses, the child coughed in his sleep. Now it is much better, we feel it on ourselves.
A room of 20m2, we decided to take the most powerful model to make the process go faster. In the first hours of work, it became fresh and easy to breathe. Works constantly, day and night, hygrometer shows 47%
It is very convenient to use it, every three days I rinse the shower with a pallet (I pour a lot of dirt, dust, debris, wool from the cat, collects it all into the water) and pour water from the tap, then I just add it. I leave it on even when we are not at home, the water ends and she stops herself. It works completely silent at night! I'm just happy that there is such a device, I plan to buy mom for the new year, I think it will be the best gift for her. Recomend for everybody!
