Venta LW45 White

Humidifiers. You must really have health problems if you want to start with it if you ask me, because it never really makes me happy. After trying different types, now I bought this one. The Stadler Form Oskar was effective in small spaces, but very fragile, difficult to keep clean and required absurdly expensive filters. The Medisana AH 665 ultrasonic ended up in my garbage container after six months. (very bad, because of course could have gone to the thrift store). That's how frustrated I was apparently. I bought this Venta LW25 mainly because of the easy maintenance and the low noise level when in position. I was positively surprised (after the Stadler form) about the solid (German) manufacture. Unfortunately, the lack of filters comes at the expense of effectiveness. There is no escaping that. Instead, there are rotating plastic discs that provide the required evaporation surface. Position 2 and especially 3 are downright noisy and especially intended if you are not staying in the room. Position 1 is quite quiet, quiet enough for the bedroom as far as I'm concerned and that's what I bought it for. You can still hear him, of course. The specified capacity (40 m2) is at position 1 is never realistic and that is why I went for the LW25 and not the LW15 for my bedroom of approximately 14m2. The riot. humidity in my house these days is 22 to 25% and after blowing for 45 minutes on position 3, only 1% has been added in my 35m2 living room. Not a lot of course, but not very strange of course, because everything is bone dry. It will probably get better in a few days. All in all, I'm just going to make do with it, despite the noise on position 2 and 3 and the lower humidification speed. I hope this helps others. Cordial greetings, Niles

I wasn't planning to spend that much money at first, but after a long search I finally came across this device. It's a shame it costs so much money because it's actually very simple, but to my surprise there is nothing better on the market if you need to humidify a large room. The great advantage of the LW45 is that maintenance is limited and the power consumption is very low. With a warm steam humidifier you pay blue in electricity costs and with the ultrasonic evaporators you often hear problems with white dust (limescale) that will spread in the house. Other cold water evaporators such as the Stadler Oskar seemed nothing to me because of the very expensive maintenance costs (the filters and silver ion cube) which led me to the Venta LW45. According to the specifications, the device is suitable for rooms up to 75m² and the water tank has a capacity of 10 liters. I have been using the device for a week now and with alternating use of position 1 and position 2, it evaporates slightly more than 5 liters of water per day. The noise level of the device is unfortunately a disappointment. At position 1, it is audible in a quiet room, but all in all, the noise level is still very acceptable. Position 2 is comparable to a room fan and position 3 is disturbingly noisy, which I find only useful when you are not at home. Despite the negatives, it is still recommended because there are few better ones on the market.

I have had many years of experience with the Venta 24. So now the Venta 25. In the beginning, the slats are a bit greasy and therefore do not absorb much water. Trick is to add some vinegar to the water. Also good for descaling. The air in my room is pleasantly fresh and I don't suffer much from my allergy to pollen in the spring air that comes in from outside.
