Best Breezers 2022

It happens that a person has to stay indoors for a long time and a walk in the fresh air is impossible. Then the breather comes to the rescue. This is a compact supply ventilation system with mechanical induction of air movement, the functions of heating the supplied air and cleaning it. Breather is a name patented by one of the manufacturers. Devices appeared not so long ago. The first breather was developed in Our Country in 2013 by a manufacturer of medical equipment for ventilation, air purification and disinfection. They decided to use their experience to create a product that will be used in apartments, country houses, offices and other premises. So there was a device for forced ventilation for the mass market.

The main advantages of the breather: simple installation, relatively low price, the possibility of recirculation and air heating, simple control. But the main thing is clean air. We talk about the best breathers of 2022.

2. SIEGENIA Aeropac (from 20,4 thousand rubles)

This is already a German company, although the devices themselves are assembled in Asia. Please note that there are three models for sale. The first one is not marked with any letters. The second has a smart subscript and allows you to control yourself via a smartphone. The DD model is a passive ventilator, that is, no electronics and no fan. Three filters are hidden in the glossy case: coarse, fine and odor filters (charcoal). Separately, the company is proud of its NOx filter, which protects not only from fine dust, but also nitrogen oxide. True, you will have to pay another 5000 rubles for this. As for the noise during operation, the German development is in perfect order with this: we could not find any negative in relation to the volume.

3. TION 3S Standard (from 33,5 thousand rubles)

In our ranking of the best breathers in 2022, a model from one of the market leaders. There are Plus and Smart variations, which are about 10-15 thousand more expensive, but differ only in the presence of additional air analysis modules in the house. These are external devices that are installed separately and synchronized with the breather. The device has six flow rates. There is a heating element that will come in handy in harsh winter conditions, as well as a recirculation mode that starts cleaning the air inside the room and blocks the inflow from the outside. Four filters are hidden inside. A full set for a shift on the official website costs about 6 thousand rubles.

What other breathers are worth paying attention to

4. Royal Clima Brezza RCB 150 (from 25,8 thousand rubles)

The manufacturer claims that the power is enough for a room up to 75 square meters. As befits a top-end device, there is a multi-stage filter system inside and the possibility of air heating. Air is filtered at five levels. In addition to standard HEPA, coal, from large and fine particles, there is an ionizer. A set of replacement filters costs about 2000 rubles. On the complete control panel there is a timer, which many other devices are deprived of. True, it is not implemented perfectly. It simply turns on the device at the designated hour, but does not allow you to select the mode based on the time of day.

5. TION Lite (from 17,2 thousand rubles)

An excellent solution for those who do not want to litter a small room by placing bulky devices on the wall. The manufacturers of this device have concentrated on making the breather compact. At the same time, I had to sacrifice the recirculation mode (when the air is cleaned inside and does not enter from the outside) and did not install odor and gas filters. However, the latter still have questions. When preparing the review, we repeatedly encountered complaints about different models that smells from the street still penetrate. This device is controlled only from a smartphone. It’s a pity not via Wi-Fi, but only Bluetooth, which seriously eats up the coverage radius. Out of the box, the device comes standard with a dust filter. If you want to install HEPA, you will have to purchase it separately.

6. Lufberg iFresh LFU (from 25 thousand rubles)

Although the name is disguised as German, the manufacturer of the device is domestic, like most others. Engineers have relied on a case made of foamed polypropylene. It is designed to absorb vibration and noise – one of the most common complaints about all breathers. Unlike many other devices from our rating, this one has two filters inside. The first is aimed at removing the smallest particles of dust, allergens. The second coal and filters, first of all, the smells of emissions, which abound in the metropolis. A fan is installed inside, it rotates at three speeds. The modes are called “day”, “night” and “active”. Inside there is a heater made of ceramics – useful in the cold season. Out of the box comes a compact remote control without an LCD display.

7. Mitsubishi Electric Lossnay VL-100EU5-E (from 28 thousand rubles)

This company in Our Country is known primarily as a car concern from Japan. In fact, in her portfolio there is a division that produces very decent climate equipment. Therefore, we boldly place this model in the ranking of the best breathers of 2020. Its peculiarity is that a proprietary recuperator is installed inside. In it, supply and exhaust air exchange heat and moisture. Due to this, the supplied air is not so dry and already heated. And all without the use of additional electricity. The only moving parts are the fan. Maintenance is minimal – clean the heat exchanger and change filters. The latter, by the way, cost decently: from 6 to 12 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration. Management is manual only. Note that the declared temperature plug for work is from -10 to +40 degrees Celsius. If it is colder, it will also work, but not as efficiently.

8. Royal Clima Brezza XS RCB 75 (from 16 thousand rubles)

Above in our review, we have already published a product of this brand. It is inferior to him in power, but wins with its dimensions. The device is really very compact. I would like a little less thickness, but it’s not bad. This is enough for a room up to 37 square meters. More simply will not pull out in power. It’s nice that the engineers did not sacrifice a full-fledged filter system for the sake of compactness. There are three of them: they are aimed at cleansing and disinfecting the air. The manufacturer claims that the supply air is cleaned by about 90%. Heated Breezer. It comes with a simple remote control out of the box.

9. VENTS MICRA 60 (from 10 thousand rubles)

In 2020, this democratic model is gradually being withdrawn from sale, being replaced by more technological breathers. However, it is still available in stores. There is a device marked A3 or A4. In the first case, the mode switch is mechanical, and in the second – touch. Its power is small, but it is more than enough for a standard living room of 15-25 square meters. A recuperator is installed inside. Let us briefly recall that due to the design of such a tube, the new air is heated from the outgoing one. The efficiency is slightly less than 80% – for a budget device, this is a normal indicator. As already mentioned, the device is not too powerful, but this can be regarded as a plus. Because it doesn’t make too much noise. The body is made of metal, which means it is extremely durable.

The outer case is small, and the working unit is fixed from the side of the street. Thanks to this design, it is possible to balance on thin walls. One of the few breathers that is sold not only in white, but also in gray. So far, manufacturers have not gone as far as to cover their devices with some other plastic than light. There is no electric air heating here. Only a recuperator, but it works properly. Supplied with two filters and remote control. It can also be controlled via Wi-Fi.

How to choose a breather

Advice on how to choose a device gives Commercial Director of Admiral Engineering Group LLCKonstantin Okunev.Device price and best brandsThe price of the breather can be low and at the same time fully meet your needs. The base model costs just over 20 thousand rubles. A fancy version can be purchased from 50 thousand.

There are two dozen brands of breather-type devices on the market. Among them, I would note two: those who invented the breather – the Tion company and the newcomer – AirNanny. Both manufacturers are .

What characteristics to look for when buying

First of all, you need to pay attention to the volume of air exchange, the level of filtration and the noise level. Carbon dioxide monitoring, indoor air filtration, and system scheduling can also be useful. It is also worth taking into account that in the cold season there will be additional costs for electricity.

Should I buy consumables?

You can’t clean something without messing something up. Filters clean the air and of course they need to be changed. The frequency of replacement depends on the condition of the air outside the room. Even under good conditions, the filter should be changed at least three to five times a year with regular use, and at least two times if there is no constant need to turn on the breather.

Can I install it myself

If you managed to install, for example, a water filter or a boiler, then, probably, following the installation instructions from the manufacturer, you can easily cope with the installation of the breather. An important point during installation is the place where you are going to install it. If on the wall, you will need a diamond cutting machine. In extreme cases, there is always the opportunity to call the master.
