Venta LW25 Original Humidifier in White - Filter-Free Evaporative Humidifier for Spaces up to 430 ft²

I really need this product. It has been bought from Germany and sent via the US which is the only way I can do this. I am really unhappy that it isn't working. It had very good reviews and is exactly what I am looking for.

Overall happy but cleaning of the disks is such a time-consuming task and there are several fragile parts to handle during the cleaning. I broke some part of the disk and the fan during cleaning. When they are disassembled, all individual parts are fragile and requires handling with care. Only because of this, I did not give 5 stars.If your baby is very sensitive and wakes up by very little sound, then, it may be a good choice. It naturally generates some white noise (fan noise) and you can even make it noisier (3 steps). I used this function to make the fan noise on purpose. So, while the baby sleeps, even though I make some small noises, my baby sleeps very well.After getting the LASIK Procedure, my eyes get dried easily (xeroma). I was scared of opening my eyes in the morning due to the pain caused by the xeroma. Venta humidifiers (even though they claim that it is airwasher but for me, it is just humidifier) really works for me.About the cleaning, a quick cleaning may take under 5 minutes but a deep cleaning would take over 2 hours.Not joking. But in my opinion it is worth the money and the time required for cleaning.

My machine stopped working within a year and the company in Germany are refusing to help me. Terrible customer service and poorly made machines!

Love everything about this- super simple, easy to clean, no filter needed. Don't love that there's special, branded cleaning and additives needed, but they are relatively affordable if you shop around.

Buscando humidificadores, la mejor experiencia me la ha dado Venta. He tenido dos; uno que dejo de funcionar poco más de diez años, después de 12 años de uso y el que lo reemplazó, ahora ya con 10 años de servicio. Este es ahora el tercero, más pequeño para mi oficina. En pocas horas logró aumentar la humedad para hacerla más confortable.

I've had the Venta LW25 for about 2.5 years now. It has been trouble free and works well humidifying the air and cleaning the air. You need to add the Venta water treatment, once every two weeks when you clean the unit. I simply "rinse" it out and use a paper towel or cloth to wipe it out. Once a season I use the Venta cleaner. It is a bit tough to remove mineral deposits, but otherwise it is very easy to fill, use, rinse. When you clean it after two weeks you can see the sludge in the bottom of the tank of debris it has pulled out of the air. For my house, which is forced hot air, a full tank usually lasts 40-48 hours unless it is extremely cold, then it lasts 24-36 hours. (other types noted below, even with larger tanks would be a max of 24 hours). We usually leave ours on the medium fan speed and it is a nice background noise. If it is really cold or if the unit ran out of water for a while, we use the high speed which still isn't too bad. I've used boiling water (dangerous & energy hog), cold air filter types (filters grow mold in a matter of weeks), and ultrasonic for years.I've been using various types of humidifiers for years (20-30 years) due to sinus and/or winter allergies. If I don't use a humidifier in winter, I also get bloody noses, which I haven't had since I've been using this unit, so that is a good sign that it is humidifying the air. I got tired of trying to clean the boiling water types and the energy bills. Looking at the cold air filter type, It can't be good to spread mold around the house and cleaning it was also troublesome and replacement filters are costly regardless of the brand. As for ultrasonic, they worked the best of the other three BUT they ruined several pieces of furniture and some wood flooring from their "white dust" mineral laden output. Granted the water in my area is mineral laden but I can't do much about that. I also found it to be a pain to clean it weekly, very tough to get into all the nooks in cranny's of the brands I've had. Of the three styles, I liked the Ultrasonic the most, but I can't live with the damage they have done. As for the Venta - it is much easier to refill, I use a pitcher, easier to clean than any of the other styles, and I have to fill it less often because the tank holds more water. Unlike other types, it automatically shuts off when it is out of water.YES it is more expensive than a lot of other humidifiers on the market, but in the end both my wife and I are very happy with the unit. Also, worth considering is there are no filters to replace, so if you do the calculations over a few seasons, the VENTA starts to look pretty competitive. You need to purchase the water treatment, which a bottle lasts most of the season, and the cleaner solution for use once or twice a season. For a season, these both cost less than one set of filters which typically last 2-4 weeks. The cold air filter type humidifiers are kinda like the Razor blade business, they often give a away or sell the handles cheaply, but they get you with the replacement heads (filters).All in all a great unit. Good size water tank for extended use, no filters to replace, comparably easy to clean. Obviously I'm a fan of the VENTA 25 units. I recently purchased the larger VENTA 45 for the living room!

Very well made. Works great so far.

In total, we have 3 Venta airwashers. Bought them to maintain proper humidity at my home, including baby's room.The way it works is very simple and very different compared to other humidifiers - the air takes as much water as it can handle, it doesn't push it outside like other machines do.You can place it safely next to the furniture as it doesn't cause any wet spots on any surfaces.With additional trolley it's very easy to move it from one place to another.
