Review on Experience Clean and Fresh Air with Venta LW15 Original Airwasher in Black by Ada Dymowska ᠌

Chose long and painfully. As a result, I bought into the vent, but based on the results of two years of use, I can say that most of the rave reviews are clearly custom-made. Personal experience has shown that in a room with drafts and an open door, the humidity will rise from <20% to 30-32%. This year, the windows were repaired, drafts were removed, and as a result, it can reach up to 40-45%, depending on the frost on the street. This is with regular airings of the room. On the second day, the gearbox began to tap. At first I used, as they say here, wd-40. Then I found the website of the official service, according to their recommendations, I bought silicone grease. With it, the gearbox really knocks less. Initially, the kit came with a small bottle of a substance, a la soap, which reduces the surface tension of water. With this soap, the humidifier works much more efficiently. But since I was not going to spend money on the constant purchase of consumables, I do without it. As a result, every 1.5 days I wash the drum with boiling water and soak it in citric acid every 2 months. Otherwise, the smell of a pond, dampness appears. God forbid you leave for a couple of days and forget the water in it - the smell of fish is guaranteed. My conclusions. This bucket will pay for itself in 10 years. It performs its functions quite tolerably. Although it is very difficult for him to saturate an open room (door and window) with moisture. I'm not going to change. But if now I had my experience, then I would buy an evaporative type, but with a collapsible drum to wash in the dishwasher. At the dacha, I bought an ordinary ultrasonic one and pour only distillate into it. The air is different, less pleasant, but quickly and the window can be kept open.
