My kids have seasonal allergies, we have a new kitten and there’s a ridiculous amount of snoring going on at my house. Since I’m not sending any of the aforementioned problems out the door anytime soon, I invited the Venta Airwasher over for a test-drive.
How ’bout some clean air, baby?
Venta Airwasher Humidifer and Purifier
I received the Venta Airwasher for purposes of this review. All opinions are my own.
So here it is – the LW45 2-in-1 humidifier and purifier. Even though this particular unit can work on a much larger area (up to 800 square feet) I welcomed it into the bedroom where the king of snoring and seasonal allergies resides.
Halp meh.
Unboxing is a whole big thing now, but when I got the Venta Airwasher, it was so stinkin’ easy to start using, I just well… started using it. You literally fill the reservoir with water to the fill line, pop the spinning disk unit back into the machine, close the lid, plug it in and turn it on. There’s a water treatment additive you’ll pour in as well.
The water treatment additive serves to increase the water surface area for better evaporation, and also helps cut down on the calcium and lime build-up. I clean mine about once a month, and there’s definitely less build-up than on any other humidifiers I’ve owned (and thrown away). Another plus is that there’s none of that weird white dust.
But I will be honest. I’m not thrilled that I’m going to have to keep buying the additive indefinitely to keep the unit at its most efficient. Not a deal breaker though, because the Venta Airwasher works.
How it works:
The motor circulates the air through the water reservoir and over the spinning disks. As the water evaporates, the unit pulls moisture into the air as needed while simultaneously removing pollen, bacteria, odors and pet dander.
What I like about the Venta Airwasher:
It has significantly reduced the allergens floating around my home because there have been a lot less sniffles, sneezes and itchy eye problems from seasonal allergies this year. (This happened when I moved the Venta Airwasher into the family room.)
The improved moisture in the air has cut back on dry, itchy skin considerably.
It’s quiet! (Listen to it in the video.)
It’s easy to clean – no filters. I typically wipe it down with a soft cloth, but if the cord and motor are removed, the remaining parts could be washed in a detergent-free dishwasher cycle on low or cold.
There’s none of that weird white dust you get from other humidifiers.
It’s easy to fill, and when the unit needs to be refilled, an indicator light turns on and the machine turns off.
It helps remove cigarette smoke odors. I loaned it to my daughter for the summer, and the Venta Airwasher is doing a great job of reducing the odors emanating from her neighbor’s apartment.
The improved moisture in the air has lessened the severity of the obnoxious nighttime snoring to which I am subjected. Thankyousomuch.
It’s made in a factory completely powered by wind energy.
Overall thoughts: it works!

Anosa says
I have never owned a humidifier but the last flat I rented my landlord got us one but it was blooming loud and hardly did the job of clearing the air
Laura H says
I’ve definitely got to get myself one of these! I have really bad hayfever and it’s started to really play up :/ This looks like a great little machine – didn’t know they existed!
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche says
Sounds like an interesting product! I’ve never used a humidifier before – only a dehumidifier! In the UK we mostly have brick houses and damp can be a huge problem, so I’ve always needed a dehumidifier instead!
Janell Poulette says
We have one of these and it is great. I need to make sure we use it more because my allergies are bad.
Bella says
I have never heard of this system before but I really need it in my home!
Style With Tina says
Thanks for the overview! Sounds like an efficient humidifier! 🙂
Babita says
I would like to get this humidifier. My DH suffers from dust allergies and I think having this one around would help.
Leslie Hernandez says
People have recommend that I get a humidifier due to my sinus issues and allergies so I might have to look into this. Thanks for sharing!!
Leslie xoxo
Jasmine Watts says
I need to invest in a humidifier too. I usually suffer from allergies and it sounds very interesting! Thanks for sharing!!
Dreammerin says
It’s very interesting! Thanks for sharing because I didn’t know about this!
nicol says
i would never have thought of purchasing one of these. i always get the worst hay fever symptoms just before i go to sleep. such a nightmare!
Rosie Romance says
I don’t usually suffer from allergies but this year, my eyes have been streaming an awful lot. Maybe I should invest in a humidifier too. Thanks for sharing.

Elizabeth O says
I like the idea of getting a humidifier that doesn’t require a ton of effort to keep it clean. I will keep this in mind for when I might need one.
Lisa Rios says
Both my kids too have seasonal allergies & it is a hard time to go through as a mom. The Venta Airwasher sounds like a wonderful device & I love that it does not make much sound as well. Would love to give it a try.
Sara says
I could use one of these in my studio! I’m just afraid of the size, from the photos it seems quite large and would take up a lot of space.
MELISASource says
I really need to look into getting this – my home could certainly use one!
Ryan Escat says
This sounds a very nice product. It is allergy season again, this is a must have. Will recommend this to my friends.
Kenia says
This is exactly what I need. I’ve been suffering from allergies all week, I can barely breathe 🙁
Marielle Altenor says
This is what I need. I too suffer from seasonal allergies. It can be such a pain!
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
My sister-in-law has a Venta Airwasher for about a year now. She loves it and it helped her so much!

I have used a humidifier but I think it was noisy although it was a new one. Should try this one out.
Nikka Shae says

Helen at Casa Costello says
Yay to a new cute little kitten! And yay to introducing me to Air Humidifiers and purifiers. Currently suffering from appealing hay fever and wondering if this could be the answer – Every little help even indoors would be a blessing.
Sam B says
I suffer terribly with allergies especially pollen.
I have been looking into similar type products but unsure what I need exactly.
This is something I will be looking into
Angela Bethea says
Airwasher? SO cool! I would love to have one for our home. I can really use some change and hope to find innovative products as such to improve our lifestyle and health.
Nicole Escat says
I would love to give a humidifier to my sister, she and her family has terrible allergies especially during cold seasons.
Kita says
I am totally looking into this. My son has terrible seasonal allergies and asthma. The venta airwasher sounds like a game changer.
Rashmi & Chalukya says
One of my friend has same allergic issues as you mentioned and was looking for some solution I would definitely recommend her Venta Airwasher
Karlaroundtheworld | Karla says
I’d love to have one. I live in a place where I’m not sure if dust rules the place or if it’s really my windows being taken advantage by smoke outside. I guess I would feel the same if I need to keep tabs on the additive content but if it works, I guess it’s worth it.
Leigh Anne says
We need one of these in our home. We are all suffering from allergies.
Emily says
Oh this sounds so nice! I live right next to the ocean so my apartment lacks everything but moisture. But when I move I will definitely keep it in mind 🙂
WhatLauraLoves says
This sounds absolutely fabulous. My husband smokes so anything that can decrease the smell of smoke in the kitchen is something I’d try! xxx
parpar de real says
how cool is this, I think I need this in my house. Glad you share this with us
Hannah says
I need to get one of these – would definitely do with one!
Seattle Travel Blogger says
This is a good looking device.
It is quiet – reminds of some soft background waves.
Rosey says
I like that it’s so easy to use, and that it works. Hurrah too for none of that yukky white dust building up. My bff of 28 years has terrible allergies. I’m betting she’d love to know about the Venta. I’m sending her your link. I’ll let you know if she buys one too!! Thanks for the timely review!! She’s currently a mess right now with all of the seasonal blooms coming out.
Michele D says
It’s so important to have an humidifier in a home. Especially during these Spring and Summer months. It helps so much! Great review!
Carrie says
We definitely need a new humidifier. It is so dry here and Im not used to it! I will definitely have to look into this one.
Franc Ramon says
An air purifier is a good investment especially since it can clear the air from allergens and other unwanted scents. It also gives you much fresher and purer air.
Elizabeth says
This sounds like such a great product! I could use something like this in my incredibly dusty house. My asthmatic husband would thank me!
Neha Gunnoo says
Thanks for this post and the review! I learned something new today 🙂
TheGracefulMist says
I have Allergy Rhinitis throughout the year. It`s so difficult to function and do daily activities with Allergy. I wonder if this can work in a populated and polluted area.
Crystal says
We don’t have a humidifier currency, but could use one for sure. My husband and kids are all quite sniffly. Sounds like a great choice for relieving some of their symptoms.
Bella says
This looks like a great air filter! I love how easy it is to use and how effective it is.
Leslie says
You totally sold this! Now I think I need it, I know I need it. Whatever is blooming I’d killing my sinus’.
Beth@FrugalFroggie says
We have a humidifier but when it gets very cold in Kansas City it can’t keep up.
Lisa Joy Thompson says
My husband has asthma and our Venta Airwasher has really helped! It makes such a difference with dry skin too!
April Mims says
I need one of those! My husband and I were just talking about needing to do something about the air quality in our home.
Sarah Bailey says
This sounds like an awesome humidifer – I love that it sounds easy to use and maintain that is such a big thing. x
Marcie W. says
I was recently diagnosed with seasonal and exercise induced asthma, so an Airwasher sounds like an absolute must. The fact that it could also work to relieve my husband’s snoring is just a total added bonus.
Amber NElson says
I definitely love easy to clean! This sounds like a really good airwasher. Would be perfect for our family with allergies.
Fashion and Style Police says
Oh wow this sounds amazing. I think I will be needing this around the house. I like the fact that it removes odours.
Melanie Edjourian says
It sounds great and would be useful here in London as we live near a park.
Noel Barnwell says
As someone who suffers from allergies, this could be a really great purchase in the near future. Thanks for your review! I’ll keep this brand in mind when I begin shopping around!
Ora Lee Gurr says
Ventra Airwasher seems to have it together. I get irked at humidifiers that don’t let me know when they are low on or out of water and keep on running till they heat up and die. It’s impressive to read that Ventra sounds an alarm and shuts off. The wind blows daily here, so the Airwasher would take care of the allergy and dust problems that constantly show up.
brandyellen says
I have thought about getting something like this, I am glad to read your thoughts on this Venta one. Will have to look into buying it!
Val says
Allergies suck. This looks like a must have product to ensure you have minimal allergy issues bothering you from the air.
Sarah says
This is really neat, I love the name of it! I know allergies can get the best of us for sure!
Adriana Lopez-Martin says
Thanks for sharing this with us, we at home have so many allergies, as it is Florida is the allergy capital =) having a gadget like this could alleviate our issues. Hugs amiga =)
Robin Ruehrwein says
We have pretty bad allergies in our household and I think this would be a great way to combat those.
Jeanine says
This would be PERFECT for our basement! This is a great review and could be the product we need for our basement!
Sarah Bailey says
I love the way that this airwasher looks! I could definitely benefit from it too.
lau says
Spring is one of those seasons.. pollen brings the worst out of everyone, and changing temperatures inside and outside…
let’s wait a bit for the summer weather 🙂
Pam says
We have an Airwasher and it’s really great. We all have seasonal allergies so we have to be careful about the air quality at the house.
The London Mum says
I’ve never understood the use of a humidifier until now and it makes so much sense. My parents are just obsessed with dehumidifiers I never considered adding the moisture back into the air!
Travel Blogger says
Our entire family – even the baby!- has severe allergy problems. I would definitely give this a try especially since there are no filters to clean.
MJ. L says
My family has been suffering from allergies now since we moved to Florida. We could definitely benefit from one of these!
Lady Lilith says
This is so smart. We live in a world of toxins. It would be nice to have a safe home.
Becki Santiago says
I’ve never heard of this brand but it looks like it was a great find. I hope this helps with the snoring!
Theresa says
After I hit my 30’s, I somehow managed to get seasonal allergies. Blah! I think the Venta Airwasher would really help my symptoms, and I really like the easy clean feature!
Tara says
I think I’d benefit from a humidifier, thanks for this!
Life as Mum says
Neither of us suffer from allergies. So we are pretty lucky. You;’ve written a great review.
Kristi says
I liked the part that said no filters… that has always been my reason for not getting something like this. I am going to reconsider as my husbands allergies are get worse every year.
Becky @ Disney in your Day says
Anything to reduce allergies is always good!
Jenn @ EngineerMommy says
It’s so important to monitor the air quality in one’s home, especially in a home with little children or allergen-sensitive people! This sounds like a great product to keep the quality of air at a high level. I’d love to add this to our home.
Terri Beavers says
The kids and I both suffer from allergies. I’ve been reading reviews on this because I do think it’s something that we’d all benefit from buying.
Sabrina Barbante says
I have allergies too and I didn’t figure out there were such kind of “tools” to ameliorate or lowering the effects. I think this would be a gret gift for my father more than for me since his seasonal allergies are so cruel! More than mines. Thank you for sharing
Carol Cassara says
I need to get one of these, as allergies have really acted up this spring/summer to be. I am looking at this one for certain.
Crystal says
Oh man do I hate allergies! I don’t remember having issues when I was a kid but evidently I did and I’ve unfortunately passed it onto my 3 children! BOO! I could use one of these in every single room in my house LOL! We try to keep up with changing special allergy filters for our air conditioning system but this Air Washer would really help manage that so much more.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
I have a friend with one of these Air Washers, and she swears by it. She said she’s been having less allergy related issues since she started using it.
Dia All The Things I Do says
I am all about my humidifier! I get really bad allergies and get some sort of illness as a result of it, normally a sinus infection or bronchitis. Luckily my really bad season is almost over but may it is bad sometimes. I have a small one this one isa beast.

All three of us have hayfever, this is definitely something I will be checking out!
