Review on Air washer Honeywell CS10XE, gray by Gabriela Pawowska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

With a capacity of 510 cubic meters of air per hour declared by the manufacturer, with a water flow rate of up to 1000 ml per hour and a 10-liter tank, this is a very good device for its money. I chose for a very long time, comparing models from different manufacturers in this price category in terms of performance and price, and came to the conclusion that this would be the best option. It should be considered precisely as a humidifier, and not as an air conditioner or air washer. Yes, it cools a little and leaves a little dust from the air passed through it (which passes through it a lot), but this is primarily a humidifier. I do not consider the lack of a built-in hydrometer (humidity indicator) to be a disadvantage, because in this case, it would be installed in the "epicenter" of humidity, and, therefore, when the device was turned on, it would show overestimated values. I would recommend buying separate hydrometers and placing them around the apartment yourself, since now they are not expensive and there is a huge selection of them on the market from 350. Although if the manufacturer installed a hydrometer in the next model, this would increase customer loyalty. The manufacturer in the next model could build a module or sell it separately to integrate the device into a smart home system.

Pros
  • 1. High performance. When working from morning to evening (we don’t leave it on at night, because it’s still noisy), it “consumes” up to 15 liters of water per day! 2. Best price-performance ratio; 3. Lack of additional filters; 4. Guided air flows; 5. Convenient refilling - just open/pull out the lid at the back and pour water into it.
Cons
  • Minor flaws that, in my opinion, the manufacturer is simply obliged to eliminate in the following model: 1. Not hermetically sealed body of the water tank - when rolling, the water begins to splash and pour onto the floor. After all, it was possible to put some additional rubber bands so that this problem did not exist! 2. Very inconvenient side latches that press the top to the water tank - the design is such that the unfastened latches make it difficult to put the top in place. After all, it was possible to make sure that in the unfastened state they did not interfere with the assembly! Take, for example, the latches of the HYLA NST vacuum cleaner. 3. Does not remember the mode in which it worked before shutting down - each time you have to set it again. 4. The power cord could be made at least 0.5 meters longer. 5. Lack of automatic self-shutdown mode in case it runs out of water. This is primarily a humidifier, and only then it may be of interest to someone as a fan! 6. Noisy, but this is physics and you can’t get away from it.
