THE EASY WAY TO ACHIEVE FRESH INDOOR AIR
|
|
|
---|---|---|
ReliableYou only need to fill fresh tap water into your Original Humidifier and it will deliver a pleasant indoor air quality. You can even add Venta Aromatherapy to the water and add a welcome fragrance to your space, if desired. Choose between six different fragrances, from relaxing to invigorating. |
Easy to cleanThe housing and motor can be removed in a single easy step. To clean the humidifier every 10-14 days, simply pour out the water, remove dirt and impurities from the basin, rinse the disc stack with water, and fill up with clean water along with Venta's Water Treatment Additive. That's it! |
Easy to useOne on/off button, two or three power levels to choose from (depending on model), an LED status display, and an automatic shut-off in case of low water. Your original Venta Humidifier does not need advanced technology to supply you with fresh and clean air. |
HOW YOUR INDOOR AIR IS HUMIDIFIED
Venta LW15/LW25/LW45 Original Humidifiers help to humidify indoor air using only water. No filters are required. Clean water is released into the room via a disc stack that rotates inside the water reservoir. Indoor air pollutants are simultaneously reduced naturally and remain in the basin. This type of cold evaporative humidification is recognized as the best and most hygienic humidifying method, as well as the most natural way to reduce atmospheric pollutants indoors. Depending on the size of your space, you can choose between three compact and efficient models.

Product Description
The Venta LW45 Original Humidifier humidifies dry room air in spaces up to 600 square feet (with standard 8-foot ceilings) using evaporative humidification. As a disk stack rotates in the water reservoir, clean water evaporates to humidify the air in your space. This cold evaporation process is recognized as the best humidification method. By implementing the principle of humidifying air for homes and offices without the use of filters, the Venta Humidifier is hygienic, simple to use, and easy to clean. Properly humidified air will also eliminate static electricity as well as work to preserve wooden furniture and musical instruments. Venta Humidifiers offer the consistent performance of high-end German engineering; delivering optimal indoor air quality with properly humidified air to breathe. This 3-gallon capacity humidifier is powerful enough to work with indoor spaces of up to 600 square feet, ideal for living rooms, family rooms, or other large open rooms, and is designed to resist over-humidifying the interior.

Every single component is EASILY replaceable and very inexpensive, direct from Venta Germany (with free shipping). No other humidifier on the market has every single component replaceable. NONE. Something breaks on ANY other humidifier...you must buy a whole new unit.
These are pricey for what they offer and has rather simplistic technology... but they ARE effective and very quiet. If I was going to space on a long journey, you would want to take one of these. With the minimal amount of moving parts and components, this has a very low failure rate, and in the rare situation when it might fail, at least you're not at a total loss and can easily replace the failed component. However I have used mine 24/7/365 for over 5 years and JUST this year in 2019 I replaced a single motor in my LW25, for $30 direct from Venta.
For me, dust levels around all of my robotic and computer equipment was a major focus of effectiveness. In my laboratories maintaining the precise humidity is critical for the specimens. I had purchased over 23 other humidifiers and none of them compared to the Venta.
Some reviews complain about the grime or "white crust" in the humidifier after a few weeks. This is your poor quality hard water mixed with dust that the Venta has collected from cleaning your air. This is not some magical biological production from the Venta. Cmon people, simple science. You do not have to purchase the bacteriostatic agent from Venta (the cleaning fluid) although I recommend it because it is better for the plastic (less chemically abrasive) and reduces the amount of any algae or bacteria in the unit over time. If you are cheap you can always buy a $3 bag of pool shock (Calcium Hypochlorite) and mix half a TSP with 1 gallon of water. The $3 bag should make approximately 3500-4000 gallons, so as long as you store it properly, it will last you a lifetime. Apply 30ml of the Calcium Hypochlorite (pool shock) mixture to your (already filled with clean water) Venta. This will assist in bacterial reduction but it is more chemically abrasive than the Venta fluid. I have used this method in a couple of my laboratory units and this has not damaged them over several years, however if you dose too much of the Calcium Hypochlorite, the area will smell chlorinated like a pool/spa.
Keeping the unit from any direct sunlight also helps tremendously in preventing any bacterial buildup.
If you choose to not use anything at all, over time you will experience calcification on the inside, the dust being captured by the fans will eventually fall into the water reservoir and eventually the (over time) fishy smell of the algae and bacteria will attract fungus gnats. Real swampy ecosystem without cleaning. Just like any humidifier on the market. Except that this one is easily cleaned...and again, has all replaceable parts.
For my home...With 1 LW45 Venta inside a 600sq ft room, there is a large difference in reduction of airborne dust and smells within 15 minutes. Sinuses feel much clearer with humidified air. This means no crusty boogers and a less likelihood of snoring. Specifically during Winter when the heater is running more, the humidity in the house plummets, causing dry nose and dry lips, the Venta units fix that. Simple science people. So for $400 you get cleaner air which is better for your skin and lungs and no crusty boogers or snoring from your spouse. I'd say that's $400 well spent. Only wish I'd have purchased the white one.

1. Securely packed. They know what they're doing in shipping at Venta.
2. Quality components. When I read in reviews before purchasing my first unit things like "built like a tank", I was a bit surprised when it arrived and wasn't enormously heavy. "This is just a bunch of plastic parts," I thought. I know much better. Everything about this unit is sturdy and solid (without being bulky). Everything that needs to fit precisely ... fits precisely. Everything that needs a bit of operating space (like the rotating disk stacks) has exactly that amount of operating space. Simple operating instructions and minimalist buttons and lights. When I needed to open the upper housing on the bigger unit, there are two buttons to push on top of the unit. When you push them, the panels unfold with origami-like precision.
3. So quiet I initially doubted it was actually running. The LW25 has 2 speeds and on the higher speed, you can barely hear it. The LW45, designed to purify and humidify an 800 square foot space, has 3 speeds and on the 3rd speed, you can hear it hum a little.
4. Does what it's supposed to do. I live in Arizona and dryness and lack of humidity are an issue, along with a few allergy-intense periods (for me). I don't know how to quantify the ABSENCE of allergies and dryness in the air, but those things are absent. We also had some intense issues with pet odors. I had the LW25 in my home office and, after the pet-odor situation got so hit you walking into the house, I temporarily moved the LW25 to our central family room/kitchen area. This was the medium unit and our house is pretty wide open so I didn't know how much of a change to expect. Someone with a much more sensitive sense of smell than me told me after one day the difference in pet odor was substantial. After nearly five months with the first unit, I immediately ordered the LW45 for that large, open area.
5. Maintenance is simple. Easy instructions, easy to wipe or sponge or squirt clean. Easy to add the water treatment additive every two weeks. Easy to fill. If you don't put water in and the tank empties, it stops running and a red light goes on.
6. Customer service was great. No recorded message, no impersonal call center, no transferring around to tech support, or need to have anyone call me back. The operator was courteous, understood my problem (a red light went on when I first plugged in the unit). She quickly and carefully suggested I open the upper housing (and walked me through that), unplug the power adapter from the unit, replug it in, and try again. It worked immediately.
Top reviews from other countries
Highly recommended!!!! The ease of use makes it worth the expense.
Dec. 29, 2018 Update: After contacting Venta Customer Service, a replacement power adapter was promptly shipped to me via FedEx. This power adapter worked properly and now my Venta LW45 works as it should. It runs quietly and provides the needed humidification to prevent itchy dry skin and static shock during our cold dry winters in Western Canada.
It is an easy job that can be completed in a short time. The Venta Treatment additive works well.
