Humidity in our apartments for most of the year is less than 30. Hence – a significant increase in allergic diseases, an increase in the frequency and severity of SARS, increased dryness of the skin and mucous membranes in young children. In summer the problem with such an allergen as poplitee fluff is added to this “bouquet”.
If there are people in your family who can not comfortably exist in dry air, and even more so if you or someone in your family suffer from allergies, you need to think seriously about buying a humidifier or air washer. My son is allergic to dust, so we always have an LG Mini On at home.
My child’s acquaintance with this cute “minion” began very amusing. My son read that the device is safe for children and it is very difficult to turn it over, so he, like a true explorer, immediately tried to tip it over. And so began this test: LG Mini On air washer with honor kept “on its feet.
LG HW306LGE0 Mini On air washer
with drum principle of humidification and ionizer
Treats the air in the room in several stages:
- antibacterial cleaning
- Removing viruses and pathogens of lung diseases
- disinfection and plasma ionization of air
- humidification of the air to the optimal and comfortable level 40-60% .
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
LG Mini On is a humidifier with air purifying and ionizing functions.
The device scheme 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 air mass is sucked in through the side holes, passes through the cleaning system, washed in water, ionized and discharged outside. Thanks to a special coating of discs, only water remains on their surface, all contaminants settle at the bottom of the tank.
Washed air can be treated with an ionizer – when the ionization mode is on.
PREPARATION FOR WORK
Everything is simple and intuitive. Place the sink on a flat place not against the wall, pour water into the tank, install the filter, plug in the socket and press the power button – everything is ready.
FUNCTIONALITY
This air washer has several modes of operation, which allows you to use it for different tasks.
- AUTOMATIC mode maintains optimum humidity level with the built-in hygrometer.
- The MANUAL mode allows you to set the desired level of humidity depending on your preferences.
- IONIZATION is designed to sterilize the air from germs and viruses and to saturate it with anions.
As noted, the design of the LG Mini ON washer is absolutely safe, even for small children. My son checked that the minion is very stable. And I made sure that little fingers can not get into the holes and moving parts of the device. For your peace of mind, there is a button lock function to prevent accidental pressing by a child.
FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION
For comfortable humidification of the room is suitable Automatic mode. Within a few hours after starting the device, the air in the room 20 sq.m is noticeably fresher, the effect of flying dust in the air, which is observed on a sunny day, disappeared. After a week of continuous use – there is not a lot of dust on the surfaces, but there are flakes of dust floating in the tank.
The device worked in the children’s room during the heating season, and the humidity level was about 60%. The night mode is very quiet, so it is quite comfortable to sleep with Mini On on. Continuous running of the machine is not a blow to the wallet at all, power consumption is only 12 watts.
Air sterilization is a huge plus for this sink. With the included ionizer significantly improves the child’s sleep.
We always switched on the ionizer when a member of the family got sick and we noticed that it helps a lot not to make the others sick.
Ionizer works simply: it generates clusters, capturing harmful particles, then the chemical reaction occurs and purifies the air.
According to the manufacturer, the ionizer effectively fights legionella, salmonella, dust mites, adenovirus and even the H1N1 flu virus. All viruses and bacteria settle at the bottom of the water tank – discs stay clean thanks to a special coating.
BENEFITS
- You can use tap water. There is no need for pre-depositing or purifying the water. The main thing is to refill the liquid every 10-12 hours – and that’s all, you can breathe with pleasure!
Another very useful feature is the LED backlight, which not only makes it possible to operate the unit in a dark room, but can also serve as a night light. A nice extra option for those who are afraid to sleep in the dark. Even many older children prefer to sleep in low light. If the baby is very infant, night feeding becomes comfortable. You can always find everything you need and soothe your baby without turning on the bright lights in the room.
CONTROL
Switching modes does not cause any difficulties. Among the useful indicators we can mention the one that signals the end of water in the tank. If you pour water through the top opening, it will always tell you that the tank is full by the sound and light signal.
CARING
It is necessary at least once a week to clean the humidification disk and a large dust filter.
The filter is very easy to clean by rinsing it in warm water and removing dust settled on it with a soft cloth.
Humidification disc can be simply rinsed under the shower. If, however, it is seriously soiled, you need to clean it with a lint-free soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent or citric acid solution.
ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENT
The whole system of control and care has been thought out to the smallest detail.
The unit is extremely easy and safe to use, and absolutely no requirement for water quality. No need to carry a tank of 4.5 liters in the bathroom. You can fill the tank with running water, pouring it from above through a special hole – this greatly simplifies the procedure and avoids possible spills.
Built-in water sensor to monitor water level in the basin.
The care is very easy. The sink does not require filter replacement, which means no extra costs.
DESIGN
The air washer usually stands in a prominent place, so the appearance of the appliance is very important.
LG air washer design attracts attention of all guests of the house, because its appearance resembles a minion from a well-known children’s cartoon. Sleek curves and snow-white design make the MINI ON a classic and modern piece of furniture.
