Buy Cheap Venta LW44 Air Humidifier and Purifier All-in-one

Air that feels good must be properly humidified. Heated air dries out the mucous membranes (weakening your resistance to viral infections). Overheated dry air makes you feel tired and listless. Your skin dries out, your plants suffer and your wooden furniture starts to show cracks. The Venta-Airwasher is ideal to reduce chapped lips, stuffed up noses, sore throats, and dried out eyes. Protect your valuable wood furniture and floors as well as musical instruments from drying out. Dry indoor air is difficult to clean; every movement causes millions of particles to be stirred up and become airborne. However, humidification keeps a large number of airborne particles down on the floor; making the ?two-in-one humidifier/purifier? more effective than air purifiers alone. The Venta Airwasher humidifies the air while simultaneously drawing in and removing dust, pollen and other contaminating particles down to 10 microns ( 10/1000 mm ) in size from the air. Easy maintenance. No filters to change or clean or cumbersome containers to fill. The simple design and convenient access to the tank allow for easy cleaning. 10 Year Limited Warranty Made in Germany

 "impossible to clean" 2009-12-07
By Val Sam (Vancouver, WA USA)
Venta advertisement makes this unit so attractive, but wait ... they don't tell you what a nightmare you get after a few months of usage. It is simply impossible to clean the rotating disks. These disks get clogged up with bacteria, minerals, dirt and mildew. I spent 2 hours yesterday and still could not clean it well enough. They say that you can wash the disks in the dishwasher (using cold water and no detergent - tell me how can you wash anything in these conditions?). I don't think so. I even used a toothbrush and still no results, lot of time wasted. So you get a dirty unit that will remain dirty no matter what you do. This is a very very bad engineering.

Next thing - very inconvenient to refill with water. The tank has no handles, it is big and heavy... unless you have a hose in the bathroom it is not a simple task to refill this unit. Then the water gets into small holes on the sides of the tank and eventually ends up on the floor. I had to use a plastic tray (not included) under the unit.

Finally the price is ridiculous. What are you charging me for? A huge piece of plastic and a fan? You know, I can grow bacteria someplace else and totally free of charge.

Venta does not want you to take this unit back to the store where you purchased it. Wrong! I took it back and got a refund. Bye bye Venta. I hope not to see you again.

 "Simple, Effective, I like! Expensive True" 2009-10-23
By Janae Ulva (Wisconsin)
I researched many humidifiers [...] of all types and found that I wanted a COOL air humidifier. From experience with a big, cheap evaporation wick/filter type humidifier, they can be a real bother changing filters, scale build up, worrying about bacteria etc. I do like fans, because the noise is a good background white noise to sleep by. At work I have a small ultrasonic humidifier that creates white dust that can be hard to remove from metal surfaces and if left to run constantly, requires the table it sits on to be covered with something waterproof. The table was not just damp it was wringing wet!



After reading the reviews here on Amazon about particular humidifiers I decided that I was going to go with the Venta LW44 humidifier/cleaner. The situation at my house is we burn wood all winter long and the air gets dry and dirty. I bought a indoor temp/humidity gauge to monitor how well this new, expensive unit works.



What I like about the Venta:

- sturdy, simple construction

- no filters

- a simple fan

- the disk array that cleans the water is sturdy and pulls out as one unit

- a sturdy container that holds a lot of water (especially compared to some of the other humidifiers)

- it works naturally, as the air gets more humid less water is pulled thru the unit. That and the 3 speeds allows for easy regulation and there isn't the worries about sophisticated regulators breaking.

- the lid lifts off easily and I use a big container to fill the humidifier up. I do it daily because it's so easy and quick and I keep it topped off all the time.

- cleaning the humidifier was easy for me. The air in my house is dirty due to the wood stove. Sure the unit did get dirt inside as it is suppose to but it wasn't any big deal to clean because the unit comes a part with 3 big pieces - top with fan and motor, plastic disc array, bottom water container. NO FILTERS YEA! A bottle of cleaner is used.

- every 14 days I add a bottle of additive that makes the unit work better and helps prevent bacteria, scale etc.

- I like the oils that come with the unit. Interesting that one reviewer disliked them so much. They are actually essential oils so they aren't artificial.

- I can't prove it, but I feel like the air is cleaner. I use to have naggy low-grade sinus issues every winter as soon as the wood stove was put into use. Not this year so far, granted it's only been a month with the wood stove going. My eyes feel less dry. I'm digging the better air!



The unit works really well. When I first setup the unit the humidity gauge read low humidity. The wood stove was cranking out the heat. I turned the unit on (it sits in our big living room that is connected to two bedrooms and a dining room and kitchen so the room is the middle of the house) and in about 2 hours the humidity was up to a good reading of 53% humidity at 68 F temperature. So far, even the rest of the house stays at a good humidity.



As long as the humidifier doesn't break down, then I am super satisfied!! Yep, the unit is expensive but it works and the maintenance is not as much of a hassle as my other units.



Honestly, right now there is NOTHING I don't like about the unit.

 "Are you freakin kidding me?" 2009-07-04
By A. Hope (Cincinnati, OH)
This humidifier/Air Purifier is what I've been waiting for...I read consumer reports and all the negative reviews on this machine and had to try it out for myself...in a nutshell, don't pay attention to the negative reviews...I've been raising carnivorous plants for a long time and couldn't get the humidity in my apartment at a constant level to raise my plants...The Venta Lw44 keeps my apartment at an constant 65-70% humidity range needed for my delicate plants...and on top of that it cleans the air...proof of the dirty water inside the 3 gallon tank...I love this machine alot and I'm glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews.



The only complaint the one should have is the price but the machine is still well worth it.

 "Consumer Reports used simulation, lab setting; it's a fantasyland." 2009-06-27
By A. Jos (los angeles)
It's expensive but it works. It's quiet and simple. Use your own cleaning solutions, save $$$$, get any cleaning products with nonionic or anionic surfactants and dilute accordingly.

Get one and try it; if it works for you, keep it; if it doesn't, return it.

It works for me. Consumer Reports used simulation, lab setting; it's a fantasyland, it's not a real world. We are human being - not machine or robot. Everyone is unique and complex. You have to try it.

 "Bad smoker, bad...but hear me out..." 2009-04-18
By Jack (Fort Collins, CO USA)
Even though I have an LW14, the smallest of the three units offered by Venta, I thought I would post my comments here since it seems to be the most read section of the reviews.



I'd like to start out by stating that I am a smoker. Yes, I know, I'm a bad man, but let's skate on past that for the moment so you'll understand just why I think the Venta is such a great product. I live in Colorado where the humidity can get as low as 5% on some days. I keep my bedroom door closed year round to prevent my cats from overwhelming me while I sleep, read or watch television and just generally trashing my room with bits of fur and whatnot. Keeping the window cracked for ventilation in the winter keeps my room well below gas chamber thresholds while I smoke but also reduces the humidity to that of the outside air. I also have electric baseboard heat which further reduces the humidity in my room. While I have a large Hunter humidifier/air purifier that sits next to my wood stove for the rest of the house it's affects obviously can't be felt in my bedroom.



I tried the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze to purify the air in my bedroom but the cigarette smoke overwhelmed it and I had to clean it frequently, otherwise I'd have to endure the "short circuit" sound it puts out when the plates would get dirty. I've also read negative reports about breathing the high levels of ionized air put out by the unit.



Having said all of that, I have to say that the Venta has exceeded my expectations. Yes, the fan is a little loud on the LW14 but I bought this one used and a new fan may be quieter. I've also bought an LW24 for my girlfriend and it's 3 setting fan is indeed whisper quiet on the lowest setting. My bedroom now smells and feels fresh and clean and I feel that I'm eliminating the smell of tobacco in my room almost completely. While tobacco may be my vice that doesn't mean I care for it's affects on the walls of the room or the smell of stale tobacco, but no one's come up with a nicotine delivery system that doesn't leave those deposits behind, yet, so...



To all those that complain about the price let me say that you're buying a unit that has a 10 YEAR WARRANTY! How people expect the company to support such a warranty with a $50 product and still show a profit is beyond me. Show me another company that provides such a warranty, because I'm not aware of one. I agree with the comments that state that the unit as constructed could go for $50 or so at a Big Box store, but then it would have a 90 day warranty. I know as Americans we've been trained to believe that planned obsolescence is good, but I don't buy it...which is why I drive a Volvo...8) From all accounts, including my own experiences with Venta customer service, they're exceedingly liberal about supplying replacement parts. Contrast that against a company like Black & Decker where getting replacement parts under warranty just about takes an act of Congress.



Could the plastic housings be more robust? Certainly, and I do agree that it should be because they appear to be a bit thin and delicate. Treat the unit gently and you won't have a problem. But again, Venta customer service will take care of you if approached correctly. Get shrill and demanding and they'll most likely give you a hard time in return. Be reasonable and calm and they'll take care of you. American buyers expect their things to be as robust as a Timex watch, which takes a lickin' and keep on tickin', while German buyers appear to have a different sensibility about such things. Different strokes and all of that...



To those who complain about the looks of the unit I have to point out that it's a an air purifier/humidifier, not a merry go round. If you want something flashy, buy it, but expect to replace it on a regular basis. Form follows function...or should...and this unit meets that model. As consumers we're being led by the nose by American manufacturers to believe that flash over substance is what we should buy. I believe we should think for ourselves and be smart consumers, not lemmings.



To those that prefer 70% humidity I suggest that they live in a sauna...or the Amazon. Sweating walls and windows create the perfect breeding ground for mold, which has it's own health downside. 40 to 45% humidity is perfectly acceptable from a health and comfort perspective, given where I live.



In summation, I would absolutely recommend this unit to others. The initial purchase price can be a bit daunting but shop around a bit and you'll find a more reasonable purchase price than the MSRP.

 "Product Work But....." 2010-03-30
By Prashant Deshpande
The product works but there were the following experience spoiled it for me. My review is more a reflection on the seller than on the product

1. The order took a long time to ship

2. The box was packaged shabbily and there was a cleaning item which was promised on the box which was missing. Though the product worked as advertised

3. The Product looked used. It was wet from inside. I was led to believe that this was a brand new product.



I would caution anyone to beware of buying anything from this seller.

 "Humidistadt not reliable; Works well with distilled water" 2010-02-15
By Dennis
I left a similar review for the AOS7135.



I became wary of inhaling this white dust so I switched to distilled water but it was too much of a hassle to buy 10-14 jugs each week for each humidifier.



I think this will work well for you if your water has low mineral content or if you don't mind buying a lot of distilled water regularly.



The humidistat is rather useless. Mine typically remains at 25% even though 3 other external monitors report 38-42%. So the AOS7135 never shuts off and over-humidifies my room. You might be better off with the less expensive AOS7135 (if you are ok with the looks) or the AOS7145 (if you don't need the heating option).



I returned the unit and purchased the Vornado Evaporative humidifier instead. I use it with the Protec cartridge and make sure to clean it well every week to reduce bacteria build up in the wicks. So far so good.

 "OWNED FOR 4yrs" 2010-01-04
By Jay Ski (MA)
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have used many types & brands which have all failed at some point. The worst was $150 Holmes warm-mist, which failed & melted in a plastic smokey mess while I slept one night (thank god for smoke detectors). My friend recomended this Air-O-Swiss unit. It was more expensive, however totally worth it! I have owned this unit for 4yrs so far & very pleased. It's easy to maintain, consistant & reliable. Uses very little electricity in both "cool" & "warm" mist modes. It can evaporate up to 7 gal/day in "high/warm" mode, 3-1/2 gal/day in "med/cool" mode. FYI, keep it clean & it will last!

 "noisy, humidity gauge is not effective" 2009-12-04
By Tracy (Glen Burnie, MD United States)
We've gone through three different versions of this humidifier at this point via returns.



It's quiet when you first get it, but the fan progressively gets louder and louder. I'm not a light sleeper, but it was even bothering me before the latest return. My husband is a light sleeper and is having a lot of trouble with it.



The humidity gauge doesn't seem to work and appears to operate randomly.



The best I can say for it is that it does emit lots of mist. I'm going to try a different humidifier next time, and really can't recommend this one. Too bad.

 "This product is TERRIBLE !" 2009-11-03
By Bob Bettendorf (New York, NY USA)
Two seasons ago I bought 3 (THREE) of these units for our apartment. One for our living room/kitchen area and one for each of our two bedrooms. I maintained them diligently - which is a LOT of work. Within two humdifying seasons all three units were broken - they no longer produced mist of any kind. I tried to contact Air-O-Swiss on many occassions to rectify this problem and their customer service was abysmal. They made a few suggestions, none of which worked. In the end I was told an Air-O-Swiss representative would contact me in an effort to rectify these problems and the whole situation. Six months later I am still waiting for that call. These units were expensive, high maintenance ( and also very expensive for cleaners, filters and ionic sticks) and in the end were just a huge disappointment. Save your money and go for another cheaper brand and save yourself the aggravation. I will never buy another Air-O-Swiss unit, neither should you ! Also, my neighbor just informed me her exact same model is now leaking after just one season. Avoid this expensive and poorly designed product.

 "Lacks automatic shut-off." 2010-01-17
By Richard B. Resnick
The unit lacks an automatic shut-off when the water tank is empty. Although instructions state that the nebulizer function shuts off when the water level is low, it also advises not to run the unit when the water tank is empty. A warning light indicates when the tank is empty, but this requires that you manually turn off the power. Obviously to turn unit off you must be present and not asleep.



Noise during operation is higher than expected, based on pre-purchase reviews.



Overall, I am very pleased with the unit.

 "Warranty not honored" 2010-01-17
By Peter Gacs (Boston, MA USA)
I am having a very frustrating experience with Air-O-Swill customer

service. It took 3-4 telephone calls and several emails even

to get the return authorization.



I sent in the unit more than a month ago, and have not heard from them ever since.

Now I am in the middle of winter, already a month without my humidifier.



I have telephoned them almost a week ago. They promised to call back, never did.



By the way, despite its demineralizer, the unit still deposits

a fine dust (maybe less than would without it).

 "Huge disippointment" 2010-01-15
By Conure fan (Illinois USA)
There is only one good thing I can say about this - it's quiet. The sound of the steam coming out is very faint, and the gurgles are far and few between. Now, for the bad:



It doesn't work well. The box says it can handle a room up to 650 square feet. Mine can't handle a room that's 200 square feet. When I first turned it on, it said the room's RH was 30, and I set it to the max, and it never got past 40% even though it should get up to 75 with the setting it was on.

Now it won't go above 37 percent, probably because I turned my house's fan on permanently to see if that will help with my humidity because I can't rely on this machine alone.



Second of all, this machine has a poor design with regards to the water storage. When you lift up the tank, there is still water on the bottom half of the machine that is separate from the tank, and it is not enclosed. Spills are inevitable.



Third: I hate when companies make claims without anything to back it up. I don't want them to insist that their silver cartridges are effective, I want a study that can back up how clean the water is when using the cartridge. Just because silver has been historically used to kill germs, doesn't mean that it was effective. There are no studies that prove the use of silver throughout time was effective, so how can you rely on history when it is unproven? And even if it did work throughout history, it doesn't mean that when you put some yellowish silver - ion powder in a plastic cartridge and make a strange looking stick that it will work the same. And hopefully I'm not breathing in silver right now as I am writing this.



Fourth: The value. If this were a twenty dollar humidifier, I wouldn't be surprised at how weak and poorly designed it is, but it's the cartridges that are in the 20 dollar range, not the machine itself. I want to bring this back to Bed Bath and Beyond where I bought it, but I'm afraid that I won't find anything better, since the reviews on humidifiers seem to be very poor over-all. For me, having something quiet is the priority, but it's not important above having the desired humidity, which is why I have a humidifier in the first place. Grrr.

 "Great until 5 months later!" 2010-01-14
By Julia L. Halstead (TX, USA)
I loved this humidifier. I agree with all the people who gave it a 5 star. Its quite, has options for warm or cool steam, easy to use.

Beyond that I don't like it. I have used mine for 5 months and this is what I have found:



It is kind of expensive to clean if you have hard water (I do). You have to buy the reccommedned cleaner, and the replacement cartridges when the clean light comes on. Well I can say that I have cleaned it and changed the cartridge and the light is still on.



I have not banged it or dropped it or anything, but it leaks and floods all over. My husband looked at the container and there are no cracks, the base of it is not loose at all. The resevoir is fine and holds water well. When the two are put together, it leaks.



I would think for the price this machine should last longer than 5 months!

 "Dust and consumables a drawback" 2010-01-12
By Andrew J (Washington, DC United States)
I'll add my views to the many good reviews here. I bought two of these units last winter and one more this fall. They're all still operating properly and show no defects or problems. A few pros and cons:



Pros:

1) Very quiet. Can only hear it at night.

2) Adds plenty of moisture to a room (although not the whole house--600 sq. feet means it)

3) Easy to operate.



Cons:

1) Dust. A very fine white powdery dust that clings to glass and the floor. Even with a new filter.

2) Consumables. Have to buy filter, cleaning solution, and ionization stick, which can get expensive.

3) Cleaning. A pain, but true for pretty much any humidifier.

4) Design. A filler hole on top sure would be nice.

5) Controls. Easy to use, but why to I have to reset the humidity level each time I turn it off?
