For the past few weeks, we decided to try out the Venta Airwasher<\/a> in place of the air purifier we\u2019ve been using. The difference is that we won’t\u00a0need to change any costly filters and that the Airwasher is also a humidifier. Both were major factors in my wanting to test out this machine in the first place.<\/p>\n

During our Venta Airwasher<\/a> review, I definitely noticed a difference in the air quality in the house. It\u2019s great that we don\u2019t get that \u201cstale\u201d kind of air anymore, which is definitely a plus. The constantly blowing fan of cold evaporated water keeps the air circulating and it always seems fresh. Also, when we\u2019re gone for a large chunk of the day, our place doesn\u2019t smell like \u201cdog\u201d if only Speckles is left at home to odorize it.<\/p>\n

Venta Airwasher Review & Maintenance<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m also happy to report that, despite being around people with colds, none in our family have gotten sick yet! I hope this keeps up for the whole winter! It has been an adjustment to refill the water everyday and to rinse out the basin every 10-14 days. It\u2019s not a big deal but I just have to get into the habit of that upkeep. I do love the fact that everything (except for the motor and detachable fan) is dishwasher safe. How can you use the Airwasher to clean the air if there\u2019s residual build-up?!<\/p>\n

With California being in such a severe drought, it does pain me every time I have to dump out the water and refill it. I have to remind myself, though, that the Airwasher doubles as a humidifier. Usually, my family gets really dry skin in the winter, especially on our hands. Fortunately, we haven\u2019t had that issue yet and I think it\u2019s due to the Airwasher. Our home sensors tell us that the humidity level in our home is at about 40% so that\u2019s pretty good.<\/p>\n

The Airwasher is simple to use and really only has one moving part. That mean a lot less maintenance. The machine is also pretty quiet. During the day I\u2019ll generally keep the fan on the medium \u201c2\u201d setting, but at night we\u2019ll put it on the lowest \u201c1\u201d setting. I only us the high \u201c3\u201d setting if our house is for some strange reason very rank (i.e. heavy garlic, someone was smoking outside, or a dog that\u2019s due for a bath).<\/p>\n

Venta Airwasher Aromatherapy Essential Oils<\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

In case of an extra boost, specially formulated essential oils can be added. 1-2\u00a0capfuls should be enough\u00a0to last for a few\u00a0hours but the scent seems to linger for most of the day in our place. Venta aromatherapy comes in 1.7 fl. oz. (50 ml) bottles and are available in six different fragrances.<\/p>\n
