Is the humidifier and air purifier easy to fill
475868
Yes, it is. I keep a plastic bucket to tote the water and just lift the lid on the Venta and pour it in to the water level marked inside each day. Every two weeks I take off the top and dump out the used water, put the reservoir (the bottom) in my bath tub and clean it out -- then refill it with fresh water and add the Venta Water Treatment Additive. Since I live in the desert of western Colorado and I use a swamp cooler rather than an air conditioner, I will soon be cleaning the venta with the Venta cleaner and storing it until fall. I used to have the large Venta, but am in a smaller apartment now and the small one is easy to handle for me. Yes, it is.

This is extremely easy to fill. I roll it to my kitchen sink (I keep it in the kitchen because my condo is only 980 sq living area), take the top off, it is not plugged in to the outlet at this point), pull the sink faucet spayer over the bottom of the unit and fill directly from the sink. NO BOTTLES!!! Roll it back to its place, put the top on, plug it in and it picks up where it left off. I also add the bacteria control solution before placing the lid on. Having the digital hydrometer to set the amount of humidity is a blessing. The unit does not go beyond your setting. It stops and picks up again when the humidity level you set requires it.

I don't find it easy to fill as there is no handle to transport it to and from the sink. It is a bit cumbersome to hold while carrying a full tank back to its base. My other humidifier is : Sharper Image EV-HD10 Humidifer, Ultra Sonic. I love the design and ease of this humidifier. Only problem is....it started making an odd noise 1 year after I purchased it and now that it is 2 years old it is making an even louder noise, but it still works.

Super easy! I am 63 years old and have arthritis in my hands and I am able to empty it with ease. We really love our dehumidifier. It keeps the house at the perfect level of humidity. We leave ours set at 60 which I believe is the default. Enjoy the comfort. :-)

The reservoir fills from the bottom, but it actually does not matter, because it can be very easily removed. It also stands well on flat surfaces, so you can put it down while it's filling up. I have two different humidifiers and this one beats them all.

I use it as humidifier during the winter months [minnesota] and it worrks very well. It is the second unit that I have owned and the first unit lasted 10 years. Yes it does freshen and clean the air. Expensive but good solid value. James S.

Yes, there is plenty room for that. I thought I would do the same however, I really haven't felt the need for the humidifier.

Yes the venta is a humidifier and air purifier.I live in a desert area with little humidity so it is great my air smells clean too

You can totally do it yourself. The hardest part is the duct work modification. Mine was already done from an older humidifier. The waterline was simple and I joined the drain line to the drain from the AC.

Luma Comfort is easy to clean. It doesn't have a lot of nooks and crannies like other humidifiers, and after a month's use I am seeing no mineral build up whatsoever even though I use tap water. The demineralization cartridge can be soaked in vinegar occasionally to extend its life. (Check the Luma website for details.) I use an ionic silver cube from Amazon to purify the water, and it works great.

Yes, it is a humidifier. Proper humidity level being important for the mucous, breathing.And it looks cool!

It's pretty easy to clean; don't know if you could easily rig up a filter that wouldn't impede airflow..

Sorry for your affliction. This machine seems as advertised. I got a couple of hygrometers to measure the humidification and it helps, but it was also summer/air conditioning season. I'd withhold judgment until I got through a winter with the dry heat of my electric furnace.

run time depends on how strong or week you set the mist at.....i think about 12 hours is max..this is a great little easy to fill humidifier

What I do (and the instructions recommend) is to rinse out the water container and the reservoir daily every time I fill it. On a weekly basis I pour out the water and put some diluted white vinegar in the container and the reservoir and let sit for 30 minutes. I then clean the container and reservoir with a bottle brush to remove any built up mold or mildew. I rinse with clean water and then refill. It cleans very quickly if you rinse daily and let it sit with the diluted vinegar first. It's the easiest humidifier I have ever cleaned (and I have had several models).
