Winia AWI-40

Advantages: Moisturizes, quiet, washes, price

Disadvantages: the humidification area is 40 meters too high.

Comment: I bought this instead of an ultrasonic humidifier when the filter cartridge expired, but they were not on sale and it was not acceptable to use the device further due to white bloom. Compared to ultrasonic, it works quieter, does not leave a deposit on furniture, cleans the air from dust. But moisturizes worse, slower. I have a studio apartment of 45 meters. The sink runs continuously at the highest power. Turn on night mode at night. We ventilate the room for two hours daily. Working at maximum power, it raises the humidity to 48 During airing, the humidity drops to 35 In the night mode, the humidity drops from 48 to 40 At the same time, the batteries in my apartment are regulated by temperature, I also monitor the temperature in the room does not rise above 23 degrees. So for a room of 30 kV it will be fine. If you are satisfied with the humidity of 40 ° C, you can safely take it to a large area. In general, I like the sink.

Advantages: An adequate device that lives up to expectations. Normal performance with acceptable noise. The sink is easily disassembled for cleaning. The absence of a removable tank, which gurgles, as happens in some models of sinks. I bet 5, despite some drawbacks. There are no fatal ones among them.

Disadvantages: Inconvenient shutdown of the ionizer. Vibration at maximum speed. Not all displays go out in night mode. Inaccurate hygrometer.

Comment: I will not write about the advantages and disadvantages of the whole class of air washer devices. An overview for those who know what air washers are in general and are interested in the detailed characteristics of this particular model. Discs 21cm. in diameter, 35 pieces, total area 2.4m. Air is taken in from the sides, blown up. Performance: Night mode 230-310 g / h (in different places of the apartment and in different conditions). 2 speed 340 g / h. 3 speed 410 g / h. Power consumption: Standby: 0.5W Speeds 3/2/1 / Night mode: 11W / 8W / 6.5W / 5W Ionizer: + 1W Noise, subjective: 1 speed / night mode - quiet, but audible. In the silence, you can easily tell if the sink is on. 2nd speed - medium. Acceptable for the day, someone will be fine at night with such a noise. 3 speed - loud, but not too loud. Quieter than a hairdryer. Suitable for a day with a window ajar, or for a large room. Almost all sounds made by the device are air noise. There are no unpleasant tones (except for the noise of the ionizer).Quite quiet low-frequency hum of the disc motor, not heard from a distance. Ionizer on - noticeable crackling or whistling sound. If the sink is connected to the mains, but no mode is on, a whistle is heard. Disappears if you turn it on.

Advantages: Everything looks good. Really humidifies the air, and evenly throughout the apartment. There is no white coating like after ultrasonic evaporators. No filters that need to be changed frequently, tap water. Quiet enough. Convenient to wash and fill with water. I did not notice any swamp smells.

Disadvantages: Not yet. Still, the water was automatically replenished :).

Comment: Before that, there were 2 ultrasonic evaporators from good manufacturers. Both worked for no more than 2 years. There were problems with replacing filters, deposits inside the evaporators, white bloom throughout the apartment. Recommend.

Advantages: Relatively compact Stylish design Easy to operate and maintain Large tank capacity Fair price

Disadvantages: More powerful operating mode is missing

Comment: There are a lot of positive reviews on the market, so I focus more on shortcomings and questionable points, although I give a 5- rating. In addition to this unit, I use a Daikin humidifier in another room, so there is something to compare with. I think Winia is a good buy - it is very easy to operate (cannot be compared with Daikin, but there is also air purification and, accordingly, filters, so it is not very correct to compare), a large tank of 7 liters (in Daikin - 4). There is only one complaint - it lacks a more powerful fan mode. Sometimes there are situations when you need to quickly humidify a room - this will not work here (Daikin has powerful modes when it works with a whistle like a turbine). It always works with us at maximum mode, including at night (we also have forced-air ventilation, which gives some noise, behind it the humidifier is not heard at all). A full tank of water goes away in about a day with constant operation. The term "air washer" for such devices is rather marketing, do not expect any significant air purification from it (there are special devices for this, the best of which is IQAir - I will also try to leave a review), although the water really remains yellow and with a noticeable amount dust. But judging by the amount of dust that settles on the fan filter (and passes through it even more), we can talk about washing very conditionally. The control is simple (I would say it especially not), the ionization function is not very clear (this is a separate big conversation about the harmfulness / usefulness of ionization in general), no "thunderstorm smell" is felt. I am inclined to believe that this is also more of a marketing trick. I'm not sure if the humidity sensor is 100% correct - it always shows the same value (probably, for this purpose it is better to buy a separate hygrometer). I think the price is quite adequate for this device, although its device is really the simplest (this is more an advantage than a disadvantage).

Advantages: -design -easy to operate and maintain -silent -can be placed against the wall (fence on the sides, blown out from above)

Disadvantages: Built-in humidity sensor is no good

Comment: Honestly, I did not notice a pronounced effect from this complex. The air in the apartment did not become noticeably cleaner or much more humid. Yes, it does consume about 6 liters of water per day, so I am inclined to assume that it still humidifies the air.After a month of use, I collected a lot of dust on the filter. Easy to clean and clean. Almost maintenance-free - I filled it with water once a day and forgot. The moisture sensor only shows an approximate percentage. Scale with divisions - 20, 30, 40-60%. The accuracy of even these approximate values ​​is poor. They can easily jump back and forth several times within 5 minutes. The auto-mode based on it, accordingly, also does not work quite correctly.

Advantages: Made in Korea. High quality body without unpleasant odors. Really humidifies the air. Quiet in all modes, especially at night. Water is poured into the pan, nothing gurgles during operation.

Disadvantages: The air practically does not clean.

Comment: Very quiet model. Even at maximum speed, the noise is only from the fan and is quite comfortable. In night mode, it is practically inaudible. It humidifies the air well. In a room of 20 m. It raises the humidity in winter with hot batteries in about an hour from 20 to 40% according to the built-in indicator. I did not check with an external hygrometer, but hydration is felt by the absence of dryness in the nasopharynx in the morning. Evaporates 7 liters per day. water. The air practically does not clean. From the filters there is a large mesh to protect the fan, which can be easily removed and washed as it gets dirty, and an antibacterial filter in the pan. For two days, the water in the sump does not even grow cloudy. Only a little dust floats. Generally satisfied. As a humidifier, it is close to ideal. No cleaner. Maintenance is very simple and does not require additional costs.

Advantages: It raises the humidity well in a room of 9 sq. M, even if it is in the corridor and the door is open, the humidity remains at least 40. In the economy mode, there is enough water for a day. You don't need to change the water often. Low power. Washing is not annoying. Water after three days of use and pouring periodically is yellow. I don’t know how it cleans the air, but the dust collects in it in three days, so the room becomes cleaner, at least for what remains in it.

Disadvantages: After a couple of weeks, if I turned it off, but left it turned on, I began to squeak, barely perceptible, but I don't like it. No protection from children. It is not convenient to turn off ionization, I do not use it, because I don’t understand what is the difference between the two options. Moreover, it is better not to be in the room - it is not convenient. I did not find a description of the normal about ionization at all.

Comment:

Advantages: Nice design, easy maintenance. The sink moisturizes well. There is no plaque on the furniture.

Disadvantages: In my opinion, it is noisy, even in night mode - whistles, and at maximum power vibrates a little. I can compare it with Volgogradsky Prospekt with the window ajar - the noise of the car wash is louder :)

Comment: Our housing office mercilessly drowns all the money from the receipt, so the air at home is very dry, as much as the wallpaper leaves (they do not peel off from using the sink). The water from the tank evaporates in 12 hours. A 7-liter tank in the description is slyness. It may be seven liters, but the manufacturer recommends not pouring above the window for measuring the liquid level - this is about five liters. On the whole I am satisfied with the device, it is a pity that the noise level does not allow using the device at night. The nose is happy - there are already noticeably fewer crusts in the nose. If you lie next to a working sink, you begin to chill - the air flies out of it noticeably humidified. Recall after use within a month and a half

Advantages: Design, serviceability, ease of construction, natural moisture: naturally sprays up to 7 liters. water per day! Cleans the air from dust.

Disadvantages: Expensive, given the simplicity of the design, but in comparison with analogs, this drawback is not significant, it takes up a lot of space compared to ultrasonic ones.

Comment: We bought this device due to the addition to the family. After much research, the choice fell on a humidifier with a natural type of humidification, as the most understandable to me and the least energy-consuming. The humidifier operates at full capacity around the clock. The humidity in the room (20 sq. M) was less than 20% before the purchase. Now from 30 to 45%. The room temperature is + 25-26 degrees, there is no way to reduce it, except to ventilate more often and leave a small crack, while the humidity naturally decreases. If you close all the windows and doors, then you can moisten up to 60% probably, but it will be a bath, and I don't need it. They quickly got used to the noise, it doesn't bother anyone, not even a baby. The noise level is comparable to that of a conventional floor fan (at full power). In night mode, it is practically silent. There are a couple more modes, but I don't see the point in them. I don't use the timer. In less than a day (20-22 hours) it evaporates all the water in the container (7 liters) at full power. If you set the night mode at night, then there will be enough water for exactly one day. A nice cool breeze blows from the nozzle at the top. Once I accidentally turned on the ionization at night, I didn't feel much difference. In ionization mode, the air is not humidified, either one or the other. The power cord doesn't fit very well with the humidifier socket, but I don't really care. As for the fact that the air is cleaned of dust, it is true, but the degree of cleaning is difficult to assess, there is dust and wool at the bottom of the tank, everything that is sucked in through the side difflectors, and the rest of the water is yellowish. Definitely, the air purifies. Conclusion, if you do not seek in any way to achieve readings on a hygrometer of 50-60% or more humidity, but want to achieve a comfortable microclimate in the room, you are ready to put up with a relatively high noise level, pour water into it once a day (or maybe a little more often) , once a week to clean, you have a place to install it (it should stand on the floor and it should be free within a radius of 30 cm), then this is your device.

Advantages: Quiet. Washes the air. It moisturizes well. Low energy consumption. Convenient to use. Easy to clean. Design.

Disadvantages: No protection from children. Humidification and Ionization modes do not work at the same time. No hygrometer. The hygrostat is not regulated.

Comment: I have been using the sink for 7 months. Very satisfied. It is easier to breathe, the mucous membranes do not dry out as without it, especially at night. The apartment has noticeably less dust, it settles in the sink. There is enough water for about 1, 5 days. It is worth rinsing the container every time before drawing water. The hygrostat keeps the humidity within 40-60% (not tested with a hygrometer) and is not adjustable. The filter has not changed yet. There is no plaque on the furniture. When the filter is out of order, put silver on the bottom. Quiet. Doesn't interfere with sleep at night, stands by the bed. In general, a high-quality design performs its functions perfectly.
