Review on Air washer Winia AWX-70, white/turquoise by Franciszka Kargul ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not a good product, not worth the money.

According to first impressions - nothing but delight, nice strong plastic with a slight texture, everything feels very reliable. A nice display, clear control, a HUGE water tank, enough for 2 days, and not for 10-12 hours as usual. The first thing that upset me a little was that the device brought humidity into the room (about 25 sq. M) only up to 40 +/-%, and then switched to a quieter mode. It is solved by setting the mode to the maximum, but then it makes a lot of noise, which is normal, but it is uncomfortable to use it all the time. There are no additional options to set the setting to a higher humidity. 40% humidity is not enough for me, the curvature of the nasal septum, it is comfortable around 60%, but I never managed to get such humidity in a week of use in automatic mode. On the first night (I sleep very sensitively), knocks began to come from the device. Even though the night mode is very quiet. For a long time I could not understand why. I looked inside with a flashlight through the side door during work - the shaft with disks rotated unevenly, jerkily, making this knock. I sinned on a strange design - the shaft lies on thin legs in the grooves of the tank. The plastic of the shaft is soft, after a couple of days white dust has already formed there - wear, the shaft is simply eaten by friction against the hard material of the body. I tried to put all sorts of plates to reduce friction, I tried to lubricate additionally, but it still knocked. And then I took off the upper part of the apparatus, stood above the tank for a better view and spun the disks by hand - the shaft just shook in different directions, as it was absolutely crooked. The amplitude is about a centimeter, because of which, at the lowest point, it practically lost its engagement with the engine gear, slipping and knocking. The device was handed over to the store for examination, after 3 (!) months they confirmed the marriage and offered to return the money or exchange it. And it's not clear what to do. There are no analogues in terms of characteristics for such a price, everything is 2 times more expensive, but there are obvious design miscalculations in the face, which you do not expect from the Koreans.

Pros
  • They talked a lot about the merits here, I won’t dwell on them, I’ll just tell you my experience. I bought the device in March 2022 before the price surge due to the dollar, saved 5 thousand, which I was very happy about, but not for long.
