OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Air washer is a humidifier with air-cleaning function, and in our case is also equipped with a plasma ionizer.
The diagram of the device is simple: at the bottom there is a rod with 46 rotating discs, the lower part of which is in a tank with water. The fan distributes the air directly onto the wet surface of the discs and the humidified purified air then enters the room.
GETTING READY TO WORK
Did not cause any difficulty. It is necessary to place the sink on a flat place not against the wall, pour water into the tank, check the filter installation, plug in the socket and press the power button – everything is very simple.
FUNCTIONALITY
This air washer has multiple modes of operation, allowing it to be used for different applications.
AUTO mode maintains optimum humidity level.
MANUAL mode allows you to set the desired humidity level according to your preference.
In NIGHT mode the appliance runs silently in the automatic program in addition, only one button is dimmed and the others are switched off within 3 seconds.
IONIZATION is provided to remove bacteria in the room air. This function is available during humidifying or independently.
Automatic drying function is selected by combining two buttons and serves to dry the humidification disc and the inner surfaces of the sink, this prevents the formation of unpleasant odors.
Very few children will deny themselves the pleasure of pressing these cute buttons, but parents can not worry: by locking the panel, they do not have to worry about the safety of the baby, nor about the correct operation of the device.
FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION
Thanks to the multiplicity of operating modes it is possible to choose the best mode for each situation. For daily use the automatic mode is satisfactory, since it helps to maintain the ideal humidity level. If you need to help the houseplants, you can set the manual mode to high humidity.
Night mode is so quiet that it is very comfortable to sleep as children and the most picky adults to the silence.
Already after a few hours of operation the air in the room is noticeably fresher, as if the room is hung with a lot of wet towels. No more flying dust in the room on a sunny day. The biggest surprise was the first final cleaning: there was so little dust on the surfaces that I couldn’t believe my eyes.
MANAGEMENT
The panel is very conveniently located. Buttons are large and clearly marked, the display is clear and complete. Everything is just fine. No troubles at all when switching between modes. Useful indicators include the one that signals the end of water in the tank.
Convenient that the air washer is equipped with a timer: the operation of the washer can be programmed for a certain number of hours up to 9 hours .
CARING
Requires cleaning the humidification disk and large dust filter once a week. The filter is very easy to clean by washing it in warm water and remove accumulated dust with a soft cloth. The circular discs can be removed from the plastic mount and washed separately, but you don’t need to do it often once a month .
Simply grab the handle and dip the entire mechanism into a basin of warm water. You can leave it in water for 1 hour, then pour the water out and that’s all, this part of the sink is ready to work again. If the humidification disc gets really dirty, you need to clean it with a lint-free soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent or citric acid solution.
ASSESSMENT OF ERGONOMICS
The whole control and maintenance system is well thought out. All the parts that need attention are easily accessible. That’s why the maintenance, which is a bit cumbersome for all air washes, is maximal simplified. No filters need to be changed.
DESIGN
The air washer is usually placed in a prominent place, so the appearance of the device is very important. LG air washer design attracts attention of all visitors at home, because AMAZON looks just great! By the way, the jury of the design awards IF Design, reddot and IDEA. Streamlined shape, snow-white body, aristocratic appearance make AMAZON an exquisite element of both classic and modern interiors.
The results of the test: my mother was satisfied
GENERAL EVALUATION
LG AMAZON LAHVSG40GD0 air washer helps to solve the basic problems common to every apartment: it humidifies the air and cleans the room of dust. At the same time, the plasma ionizer protects against the reproduction of bacteria, which is also very important. Working “on your terms” is always a big plus – it lets you work at your own pace.
The manufacturer has provided practically everything, but to understand the exact readings of the humidity you need to buy an additional hydrostat
Can anyone confirm if the LG AMAZON LAHVSG40GD0 humidifier actually effectively cleans or washes the air, as advertised? I’m considering purchasing one but would like to hear from someone who has used it or has reliable information regarding its air cleaning capabilities. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
