Winia AWX-70

Advantages: Made, in my opinion, very high quality and neat. High efficiency, beautiful display, simple control, there is a mode of operation in which the cleaner is almost silent, there is an ionizer that can be turned off. I liked the design and would like to describe it: The body of the cleaner consists of two parts - the lower part of the body (NCH) is a tank with water in which the disks rotate, the upper part of the body (VCH) is simply placed on the top. Air is sucked in from two lattice grooves located on the lateral sides of the VChK and blown up. There are 38 discs installed on the axis of the rotating shaft in the NCHK (for some reason, the instructions say 28). The discs are made with special recesses (water cells). There is a dust sensor, which is quite sensitive (depending on the amount of dust, the indication shows three levels of contamination) Also, the purifier has the ability to use NERO filters - when the groove located in the center on the inner surface of the VChK of the purifier is open, then the air passing through the gaps of the disks is sucked into groove fan. When the slot is closed, air is sucked in through 2 NERO filters located on the sides of the slot on the rest of the inner surface of the VChK of the purifier. There are three modes of operation: 1. Washing air 2. Mock air + NERO filters 3. NERO filters - in this mode the shaft with discs in the tank does not rotate. It is interesting that when the air pollution sensor is triggered, the 2nd mode is automatically activated - the instructions do not say anything about this anywhere. There are also four modes of operation of the fan: 1. Auto - the speed depends on the readings of the humidity sensor, on the indicator 2. Maximum 3. Medium 4. Minimum - almost silent mode. It is also used when the sleep mode of the purifier is selected. time, almost all the indication of the purifier goes out, except for the indication of the sleep mode. Water on the minimum mode is enough for two days. As for the humidity level, it is very much dependent on the open or closed window.

Disadvantages: There are small gaps between the housing and NERO filters, through which air can pass bypassing the filters. You can close the gaps yourself using folded paper. Quite noisy at maximum fan speed. The upper part of the case is quite massive and can be dropped if handled carelessly. Also, the water tank (the lower part of the purifier body) is not very convenient to carry with water.In order to reduce the formation of plaque on the discs and the tank of the cleaner, I recommend the water in the tank, which remains after stopping the operation of the cleaner due to the triggering of the water level sensor, to drain completely - and not to top up.

Comment: I use Winia awm-40 myself. Parents decided to buy awx-70 for the New Year. Before giving a little I used it myself. The minimum power awx-70 is approximately equal to the maximum awm-40. The awx-70 disc and shaft material inspires confidence and appears durable. In general, I liked the device very much. At maximum mode, the humidity in a room with a closed window feels like a steam room)) The indicator on the purifier does not show more than 60%. With the window open, everything will depend on the air temperature outside. 100% Humidity is the maximum content of water vapor in the air at a given temperature. Ie 80% outside at -5 will be = approximately 30% at +20 of the same air. I took the numbers from the bulldozer - it's too lazy to count)). A large amount of dust can be seen in the tank after two days. I recommend that the owners of air washers try adding a few drops of natural essential oil to the sink - the most awesome forest smell comes from juniper oil, rose oil is enough for aromatization for a very long time. The operation of the ionizer is clearly visible by how much dust settles on the outer surface of the purifier body - you can hear it if you put your ear to the body as a quiet crackle. If anything changes, I will correct the review - while the device works very well.

Advantages: The price / quality / efficiency ratio, pleasant and cute appearance (I have white with an orange stripe), convenient to maintain, simple, reliable design, quiet at medium and low speeds, there is a night mode, no squeaks and knocks, only the noise of the air coming out at high speeds, in night mode - silent. The presence of an LED display with all the necessary indication, there is a photo-sensor of dirty water in the tank, the presence of air HEPA filters, the ability to switch the operating mode of the device through HEPA filters and without them, side plastic nets from coarse dust on the air intakes when the humidifier is operating directly, without HEPA filters (very similar to those used in air conditioners) can be easily removed and washed with water. There is a function of air ionization, automatic shutdown of the device in the absence of water, an easily collapsible drum with plastic moistening discs of gray color, discs are a quarter submerged in water and there are special recesses for water on which it "clings" and evaporates perfectly without any additional " additives "for water. The humidifier body is made of high quality antibacterial plastic, it looks very decent in the room. There is a built-in hygrometer, the kit includes a special brush for cleaning the drum, the country of origin is South Korea, a real company that produces climatic equipment.

Disadvantages: Sometimes the water purity sensor in the tank is switched on, for some reason, in addition to the three colors of water purity indicated in the instructions (blue, orange, red), it glows periodically in an unplanned green color, or an error in the instructions and purity levels are four, not three, or - a glitch , but this does not affect the operation of the device in any way. It is impossible to set the required humidity manually on the display of the device, the humidifier simply works and works up to the 60% humidity mark, then it turns off. Humidity control in the range from 20% to 60% is carried out only by selecting the fan speed. Over time, after about a month of operation, lime (water stone) begins to appear on the drums of the humidifier, it must be removed, either by soaking in citric acid (Silit can also be used), or washed in the dishwasher, as I do.

Comment: A good device for its value. It was acquired this September for 11 thousand rubles, it has been working with us practically without interruption for the second month. It works well, there are no strong complaints about its work.Since in our apartment the batteries are simply heated in the winter season, a humidifier is an irreplaceable thing. This humidifier quietly holds 40% humidity at an average speed of 40 m2. (two-room Khrushchev), in this mode the water tank (9 liters) is enough for 24 hours, then I rinse the tank and pour fresh tap water. There is a function of operation of the humidifier directly, bypassing HEPA filters, there are functions of ionization and auto-off of the device when the water tank is empty, the motor turns off and the indicator of no water flashes on the display. There is a night mode of operation, in which the display of the humidifier goes out and does not interfere with sleep with lights, plus there are 3 fan speeds, there is an automatic mode of operation. When the automatic mode is turned on, the fan runs at maximum speed, gradually decreasing the speed when the humidity is gaining, and when the humidity level is 60% it turns off. When the fan is running at the selected speed, it runs at it constantly, regardless of the hygrometer readings. There is no possibility to set the required humidity manually. The display shows the icons of the ionizer operation, the fan speed / automatic / night modes, the humidity scale, graduated to 60% humidity, the colored pictogram of the purity of the water in the tank and, accordingly, the air blown out of the humidifier (blue - pure water, orange - medium purity water , red - replace water). Before that we used Boneco-Air-Of-Swiss 2251, tired of buying filters, WINIA is more convenient, just washed it and that's it, HEPA filters can be used or not, a "silver" filter installed inside the water tank, after its service life, can replace a regular silver spoon). The drum with dampening discs is easy to disassemble and clean. In general, we are very pleased with the humidifier, a very successful model.

Advantages: 1. Not noisy! 2. Large water tank (9 liters!). 3. Automatic shutdown by hygrostat (60%). 4. Metal drum discs - easy to clean in the dishwasher! 5. Convenient to service. 6. Nice appearance. 7. Good quality materials. 8. Excellent instruction.

Disadvantages: 1. A constant water level is not maintained. 2. The hygrostat is not adjustable. 3. The power cord is easy to pull out (you have to protect it from small children).

Comment: Before that I have been using Boneco 1355N for several years: I am writing as an experienced user. :) 1. Instructions. - in Russian; - described exactly what you need. 2. Appearance. White box with a nice display. This device cannot be called especially designer (it looks a bit "cubic"), but in general there is nothing to complain about. 4. The quality of materials and workmanship. Everything is fitted, no gaps or gaps, nothing creaks (unlike the creaky Boneco plastic). 5. Serviceability. The design is sensible, access to all serviced elements is simple. The BSS filter can be removed all at once (which cannot be said about Boneco with their "silver rod"). 6. Drum. Metal discs, i.e. can be washed in a dishwasher, it's super! 7. Water tank. It is large (9 liters). Unlike Boneco, there is no water topping system, i.e. the water level will decrease until the next refueling, the drum will not be completely submerged in the water, and the work efficiency will decrease. 8. Water filling. You need to use a separate vessel (for example, a kettle). It is difficult to fill the tank right away - carry 10 kg, you can spill water. :) 9. Regulation of ventilation and noise level. The fan is regulated on 4 levels, and with 2 levels it is quite possible to sleep! At the maximum level, it blows very well with humid air. At the same time, there is noise, but it is not annoying, but soft. 10. Hygrostat. The hygrostat turned out to be unregulated: the device switches itself off after reaching 60%. You cannot set the required humidity level.I don’t know yet how much this is needed, but it’s unexpected. 11. Others. The ionizer works - it smells good with ozone. Control of air purity and water level has not yet been appreciated. SUMMARY: excellent device in terms of the ratio of "features + convenience + quality / price".

Advantages: I bought 2 such humidifiers at once, square 100 meters, to cover the entire area. Stand in the bedrooms. After a day of use, when entering the apartment, it immediately became noticeable that the air was more humid, like another climatic zone. I bought first of all as a humidifier, with simple humidifiers too much fuss, and they quickly fail with constant use. During the first day, 7 liters of water evaporated from the sink, which surprised and delighted me. The night mode is super quiet and the screen goes off, I am very moody towards silence so I was very pleased with it. I'm sure this is the best device for the money. I hope it will work for a long time.

Disadvantages: No.

Comment:

Advantages: Perfectly fulfills its main function! Humidifies the air.

Disadvantages: Not identified yet.

Comment: Long and hard to choose a humidifier, after reading a bunch of forums and reviews. Finally, the choice fell on this unit, I additionally bought a cheap hygrometer (to check the built-in one, as many say in the reviews that it is lying) and so they lie, the readings are absolutely the same. Initially, the humidity of the house showed a hygrometer of 25, the built-in one was in solidarity with it. After carefully reading the instructions and collecting it, filling it with water (by the way, I did not even open the filter in the kit), I was afraid of marriage and a possible return, turned on the unit. By default, there is the auto function, after blinking a lot, it earned the maximum (by the way, in the reviews they write that it is noisy), while listening, I realized that it was not the device itself that was making noise, but the air that the fan was blowing out quite powerfully. On average, you can hardly hear it, but at night it generally seems that it does not work. In general, he caught up to 60 hours in two hours, in the room 20 sq / m, after that he went into a quiet mode and simply maintained the humidity. At night he was transferred to the bedroom (it is smaller) and put in the night mode, slept well and even forgot that he was there, by the morning the humidity was also close to 60. As for purifying the air, I can only say one thing the water was a little dirty, although at home clean, there was even hair from animals (at home a cat and a dog) but this is not significant. The ionizer can be turned off in auto mode. In general, I am very pleased with the purchase. Who doubts or has not yet decided to recommend, take it boldly !!!

Advantages: I will write in the comments

Disadvantages: Didn't understand the function of ionization, for me it doesn't smell like "rain"! At first, there was not a pleasant, persistent smell from the drum. It seemed that the whole apartment smelled of dust (like a smell), before him this was not observed, after a couple of weeks it was gone. The price could be a little lower

Comment: Reviews are quite voluminous below, I don't want to repeat myself, but I will write some considerations. The device is very large, do not forget that it is necessary to retreat on the sides by 30 cm and at the back 10, so you have to manage to squeeze into a small room :-) We must pay tribute - the humidity maintains well, after airing for 30 minutes at maximum mode up to 50 with a penny rises. The situation is a little tighter when the air conditioner is running, the latter dries out the air, and it is clearly more difficult to wash, more water is consumed, and humidity does not rise above 50.At night mode, it is not audible, it does not interfere with sleep. There is no white coating on furniture like from the previous humidifier. I cannot say that there is less dust. The water is not very dirty in the bucket. We change it, however, every day, and wash the unit once a week. The difference with and without a Nero filter is not felt at all, just the indicator shows that humidity is catching up more slowly. A stand-alone hygrometer almost matches the readings on the sink. Plasma function, i.e. ionization doesn't work in my opinion. Maybe we have a marriage? And they still did not understand with the colors of the cleaning indicator, the instructions do not contain green, only blue, orange and yellow, but ours is lit in green, miracles :-) PS after half a year I want to say that I am one hundred percent satisfied with the sink. Despite the absence, in my sense, of ionization, it copes with its duty. Humidity maintains excellently and quickly catches up after airing. Less dust! Not that it would not be at all, but the effect is really there. The only thing that I personally miss is the remote control))) In general, I recommend it!

Advantages: Simple daily maintenance. Nice appearance, intuitive control. High quality plastic and assembly. Night mode, in which the illumination is dimmed by half.

Disadvantages: The Russian-language instruction is worse than the English-language one - it does not contain essential details

Comment: The discrepancy between the Russian and English versions of the instructions immediately struck. In Russian it is written that there should be 30 cm on each side of the device. And in the English version - that you can leave only 10 cm behind. In the Russian version - do not put the device near the place where you sleep. In English, do not put the device near your head, because you can catch a cold.

Advantages: Humidification speed, Large tank 9 liters, Easy maintenance (3 minutes every two days), Value for money

Disadvantages: no

Comment: I chose between Venta and Winia. Glad I chose Winia. Natural moisturizing, consumables are not required (I use it for 3 months without HEPA filters). Standing in a single room (38 sq.m.) right "at the intersection of rooms" in 5 hours raises the humidity from 24% to 47% throughout the apartment with constant micro-ventilation. In the quietest mode (almost insane), with round-the-clock operation, it keeps the humidity at ~ 45% with constant micro-ventilation of the apartment (almost a full 9l tank evaporates in 24 hours). As soon as you turn it off, after 4 hours the humidity is 25%. There are no problems with cleaning (which is important for me): * 1 time per day I add 9 liters of tap water to it (with a 5 liter bottle, so as not to carry anything anywhere) * 1 time every 2 days I also rinse the container under the tap and rinse the drums ( 1 min.) - otherwise the water starts to turn green a little * 1 time a month I rinse thoroughly - I clean the container and drums with a sponge from the plaque with a brush that is included (a little - at least 5-10 took) * it is also written in the instructions that once a season disassemble the drum with discs and clean each separately from lime - I plan to clean it in spring

Advantages: Quiet in night mode, does not interfere with sleep. Effectively moisturizes. Excellent appearance and reasonable dimensions.

Disadvantages: No serious ones have been identified. The price could be lower.

Comment: This is my second humidifier. The first was a slightly different design, where water flowed from above onto a set of horizontally located discs / trays. A quiet murmur of water was heard :-) We use the unit as follows. Fill the water with a bucket. It turned out to be much more convenient than carrying a pallet. For a week / two, we only add water.Several times a month we make a complete drain of yellowed (from iron salts) water. I cleaned the discs from plaque once a season (in the spring) - and it was flour, since it was problematic to boil such a number of discs with decalcification. This year I found a very effective way - washing in a dishwasher with a descaler (sold specifically for cleaning the heating elements of dishwashers). The discs are again as good as new and effortless.

Advantages: Decent appearance. The quality of the plastic is excellent. The declared characteristics correspond to the product. The only thing is that there are not 28 but 38 disks.

Disadvantages: For such a price, there is no premium class device (for me in terms of characteristics) at all.

Comment: I use it for several days. Nothing gurgles, no creaks, etc., the night mode is very quiet. Nice green indicator. There is a sensor for air purity, a sensor for water level, humidity, filter contamination of two separately. Ionization is switched on separately. Works in any modes individually or together. It is convenient to pour water from a five-liter eggplant. When it shows that the water is at a minimum, it is better to drain it immediately and not add it. Otherwise, Moscow will often have to be cleaned in our vanyucha and dusty Moscow. The water quickly becomes dirty, you can immediately see what works wonderfully well. If you open a window and run the Moscow air for a couple of minutes, the humidity drops instantly. When I turned on, it showed 25 humidity after two hours at full power 40 (a room of 20 square meters with an open door to the corridor and the second room), opened the window wide again and became 25. I will not let the clean fresh Moscow air in anymore. I am very pleased with the purchase. Thanks for the feedback to the kind people, otherwise I would have taken a sink more expensive and the effect would have been like my friend's)) who never swept it over.
