Review on Air washer Winia AWX-70, white/turquoise by Gabriela Domagalska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I definitely recommend buying, I didn't notice any disadvantages.

Affordable and reliable musical tool. We bought it in September for $11,000, and it's been running smoothly for us for about two months now. There have been no significant complaints about its efficacy. Our apartment's heating system consists of a few batteries warmed over the course of the winter, thus a humidifier is a must-have. For a quiet 40% humidity in a 40 sq. m. (two-room Khrushchev) space, a 9-liter tank lasts for 24 hours before it needs to be emptied and refilled with tap water. Functions include direct operation without HEPA filters, ionization, and automatic shutoff when the water tank is empty (the engine stops running and a low water indication flashes on the screen). The humidifier has an automatic mode, three different fan speeds, and a night mode in which the display turns off so as not to disrupt sleep. When the automated mode is activated, the fan operates at full speed, then progressively slows down as the humidity is adjusted, and finally shuts off when the humidity reaches 60%. When the fan is set to the desired speed, it operates continuously independent of the humidity levels detected by the hygrometer. No option to manually adjust humidity levels is available. A humidity scale set to 60% humidity and a color icon representing the purity of the water in the tank and, by extension, the air blown out of the humidifier (blue for clean water, orange for water of medium purity, and red for change water) are all displayed on the screen. Before they switched to WINIA, they used Boneco-Air-Of-Swiss 2251 because they were sick of constantly having to buy new filters (HEPA filters can be used, or you can't; a "silver" filter installed inside the water tank can be used in place of a regular silver spoon once its useful life has ended). Cleaning the dampening disc drum is a breeze. The humidifier has been a huge success, and we couldn't be happier with it.

Pros
  • Cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and effectiveness, I like that it has a good and pretty appearance (mine is white with an orange stripe), is simple and trustworthy in its construction, is quiet at medium and low speed, has a night mode, makes no squeaking or knocking noises, and makes just the noise of the exhaust air at high speeds. There is an LED display with all the necessary indications, a photo sensor of dirty water in the tank, HEPA air filters, the ability to switch between operating the device through HEPA filters and without them, and side plastic nets from coarse dust on the air intakes that can be easily removed and washed with water when the humidifier is operating directly, without HEPA filters (very similar to those used in air conditioners). It has a built-in ionizer to purify the air, an auto-off feature when the water supply runs dry, a collapsible drum with moisturizing discs made of gray plastic, each disc is submerged in water for about a quarter of its circumference, and there are special wells in which the water "clings" and evaporates perfectly. The humidifier has a sleek, modern design thanks to the antimicrobial material used for its housing. A legitimate company in South Korea actually makes climate equipment; it has a built-in hygrometer and comes with a particular brush for cleaning the drum.
Cons
  • There may be a bug in the tank's water purity sensor that causes it to occasionally emit a greenish glow in addition to the blue, orange, and red that are supposed to indicate different levels of water purity. However, this has no bearing on the device's functionality. You can't adjust the desired humidity level on the screen; instead, the humidifier will run until it reaches 60% relative humidity, at which point it will automatically shut off. Changing the fan speed is the sole way to control humidity levels in the range of 20% to 60%. After using a humidifier for about a month, lime (water stone) may begin to build up on the drums. This buildup can be eliminated by soaking the drums in citric acid (Silit is another option) or by washing them in a dishwasher, which is what I do.
