Remez RMCH-403-01

Multifunctional climatic complex “6 in 1” professionally purifies the air, deeply moisturizes it and even heats the room. You can control the device on Wi-Fi.

To date, this is the most versatile household appliance that fully replaces such household appliances as air purifiers and washers, air humidifiers, heaters, fans and ionizers. Why? Because all these features are in RMCH-403-01.

The compact dimensions of 31x31x63 cm (L*W*H) of the complex are obtained through the implementation of a modular filter system. In the mode of washing and humidifying the air, a self-cleaning EcoGreen aqua filter is used. It provides better cleaning from dust and moisturizing. For deep air purification, you can quickly install the HEPA13 + carbon filter. This filter can be used in all modes except humidification. This is a classic fine filter – it retains up to 99,98% of the smallest particles of dust and allergens, ranging in size from 0.1 to 0.5 microns.

Deep humidification (as much as 600 ml/hour) is called SeaBreeze, microscopic particles of water are blown under pressure at different speeds, creating the effect of a fresh sea breeze. They do not carry viruses and do not leave wet marks or white residue on surfaces. The ionizer emits anions in the amount of 4800-5100 units/m3, which is close to their concentration in fresh air, for example, outside the city. The ionization function is switched off.

The heating function with a power of up to 1.5 kW will definitely come in handy in between heating seasons. If you need to be cooler, the refrigerants in the kit are used and a powerful air flow of up to 4 m / s will refresh you by 180 degrees. High productivity up to 400 m3/h allows you to use all functions on an area of ​​40-70 m2. The device can be controlled via the touch panel, remote control or remotely by a smartphone via the REMEZ Smart (Smart Life) application. This is a great example of choosing a quality air purifier and getting 6 times more.

2. W2055D doll

The Swiss brand Boneco focuses exclusively on the production of household appliances that affect the air in one way or another. This black box is one of the company’s most popular device. Correctly, the product is called an air washer. The principle of operation for most devices is the same: air humidification through intensive interaction with water. Inside, the user pours liquid (you can add a flavor). The disc system sprays water into a kind of spray, which the company itself calls fine dust. In addition, the machine’s fan draws in air from outside. He sprays water. The manufacturer claims that the air is also washed from this manipulation – it gets rid of large contaminants, dust, dirt, dust mites and allergens. All dirt remains in the pan, which will sometimes have to be washed.

3. Winia AWX-70

This model from the South Korean brand of air washers and climate complexes is not an easy one. Still 10 kg. But the model is equipped with a HEPA filter. They are considered to be highly efficient. They were once developed to trap radioactive particles while researching nuclear projects. And then the technology was transferred to household appliances. Today, most of them are familiar with vacuum cleaners. This model is quite simple – it is easy to disassemble, examine what is inside and put it back into operation. There are several colors on the market: from classic white or black, to bright orange, turquoise or purple. The device has three main modes of operation. In the first, it only moistens the atmosphere of the room. In the second, it connects HEPA filters and continues to increase humidity. Finally, it is possible to turn off the release of water vapor and leave only cleaning with ionization. Users have access to three basic speeds and plus an additional one – night. You can simply set it to AUTO and when the humidity in the room reaches 50%, it reduces power, and then turns off completely.

4. AIC XJ-3800A1

According to the manufacturer, the device is designed to purify indoor air from various contaminants such as dust, allergens, odors, mists, cigarette smoke, fumes, aerosols and tiny particles. It can be used in public places like offices, shops and factories. Now let’s talk about the nuances of use. Many people are perplexed when they see a point about the first inclusion in the instructions. It says that at the start, the device remembers the air quality and considers it clean. And continue to strive to maintain the same state. But wait, because for this, air purifiers are bought into the apartment so that they work. Therefore, some give the device a couple of days to work, and then reset the settings. Please note, unlike other models in our top, this one has a different principle of operation. There is no need to pour water here, which means that it will not humidify the air in the room.

5. Super Plus Turbo

An air purifier for an apartment with a funny name and curious bright colors. They are made in Orel. And this is not the first reincarnation of the model. They serve for a very long time. The manufacturer says that the device works on the principle of corona discharge. It is not so easy to describe this physical technique in simple words, but you can always google it. Roughly speaking, the device creates an electric field through which air flows. All dirt – from coarse wool to microparticles of dust settles on the plates inside. A pure “ionic wind” is released into the room. And there is no fan inside. Therefore, it works almost silently. Periodically, accumulated dust deposits should be washed off the plates with water. The device is able to neutralize pungent odors, such as tobacco smoke. By the way, be careful with ozonizing the air with this device. It has been proven that this chemical element in high concentrations in enclosed spaces is toxic. The room must be ventilated.

6. Kitfort KT-2803

A manufacturer of household appliances from St. Petersburg appears in the top of the best air purifiers for an apartment. Actual for 2022 device. But the principle of its work from other humidifiers differs. It is ultrasonic – like cheaper models. That is, there is no mill inside that twists the water. A lamp and a HEPA filter are responsible for cleaning the air in the apartment. The device has a built-in bath where you can drip aromatic oil. And the fog sprayer rotates in all directions and can be redirected. Users note the cute design and lighting. Questions arise for filtering. Say, cleaning the air in the apartment of this model is a profanation of clean water. But if you look, the device really does not disinfect the air as actively as older models. The filter still does its job, as you can see by taking it outside after a couple of days.

7. Leberg LW-20

The Chinese company Leberg is just getting used to the climate technology market. Maybe that’s why the price of her products is not so high. But since this model was included in the ranking of the best air purifiers for an apartment in 2022, it means that cheap is not a synonym for bad. So, we have a white massive bucket, which, like other air washers, will have to give half a meter of room. On top of the LED-screen with a nice LED backlight. It can be blocked to avoid accidental clicks. A power level indicator of 15 W will be a plus for someone. Firstly, this is still a small increase in the context of electricity consumption. Secondly, the device does not make much noise. But on the other hand, it also affects performance. The device, perhaps a little slower than other air washers, does its job.

8. Sale LW25

The German company is a leader in the production of household appliances for humidification and air purification. In our review of the best air purifiers for apartments, one of the company’s most popular models. First of all, an ambiguous look catches the eye. Against the background of laconic rounded competitors, this box resembles some kind of device from the distant past. But according to its characteristics of length-width-height – it bypasses competitors. And not so heavy – a little less than four kilos. Against the background of other cleaners – a good indicator. If you disassemble the case, then the device can be put in the dishwasher. A motor with a fan will be enough to wipe with a dry cloth. Like other devices, it works on the principle of cold evaporation. Helps maintain the doctor-recommended 40-60% humidity in a small room. However, judging by the reviews, many users question the cleansing properties of the model. They say it moisturizes well, but it doesn’t collect dust and other muck from the air so much. The fact is that the device is not high power and is suitable for a compact room.

9. Panasonic F-VXR50R

The first thing that catches your eye is the dimensions of the device. This air purifier is suitable for large apartments. But the quality and power are on top. If you set the maximum speed, then it will be impossible to calmly watch TV – Panasonic is too buzzing. From which we conclude that if you want to moisturize and clean the room well, you will have to go further away. Interestingly, the device is equipped with some kind of sensors that apparently read air pollution. Many describe situations when they sprinkled perfume or deodorant next to this cleaner, how it immediately perked up, began to puff and open all its valves. Users note that after a couple of weeks of use, dust particles practically disappear in the apartment, which are visible in the morning in oblique sunlight. But again, it all depends on the room and the ventilation in it. Someone complains that the device is not surprising.

10. Electrolux EHAW 7510D/7515D/7525D

The model from the appliance giant is presented in three colors: white, black and burgundy. The device is equipped with touch controls. It is very sensitive to touch, which is a problem when there are small children or curious animals in the house. There is an important auto-off function when the necessary humidity becomes in the room. It is especially important for small rooms, which can easily be waterlogged by leaving the air purifier running overnight. Regarding this Electrolux model, there are some tips from the owners. Firstly, if there is strong ventilation in the room, then it will not be easy to raise the level of humidity in it to the required level. Secondly, if you want to humidify a particular room, you will have to close the door to it and refuse to air it. With direct access to air, the effect quickly disappears.
