Overview of the CH-2940T Crete Air Humidifier

 

The air conditioning unit is delivered in a compact package made of cardboard. The colorful box of the humidifier is very informative - there is a photo and brief technical specifications. Unpacking does not take much time, but you should be extremely careful when removing equipment from the package. The fact is that all removable elements of the humidifier are not fixed inside. In fact, the product is seized by their boxes in separate parts. Fortunately, the design is simple and quickly assembled in place.

The kit comes with a power supply, user manual and warranty card. I was glad that BP is a separate component. In addition, it is made very high quality and has a built-in LED power indicator. The instruction is detailed - there is even a scheme for replacing a cartridge and using aromatic oils.

The case of the CH-2940T Crete air humidifier is made of lightweight and solid plastic. There are questions only to the removable cover of the air conditioner. When servicing the device, there is a feeling that the cover is about to crack in your hands or break if it falls. But the impressions are deceptive - the plastic is very durable.

 

Advantages and disadvantages of the CH-2940T Crete

 

Advantages:

• The volume of the bowl is 4 liters. When using the humidifier for 8 hours (at night) and at an average capacity of the evaporator, the equipment with a filled tank will work exactly 2 days.
• A simple bay of water. It is very convenient when you do not need to remove the tank when filling the humidifier with water. The top cover is easily removable, and water is poured from above (but not into the spout). There is a mark for maximum water level. If desired, you can remove the tank itself - nothing will be broken and will not spill.
• Simple operation. Just one mechanical button performs several functions at once. Turn on, off, change the intensity of humidification and turn off-turn on the backlight.
• Additional water treatment. The filter cartridge is supplied as a set - it is immediately installed in the device. The filter catches mechanical impurities (rust, insects, sand).
• Silent work. If you do not listen, the noise of the evaporator does not create inconvenience. Even at maximum humidification performance.

Disadvantages:

• The inconvenient location of the flavor. It is foolish to place the device in a pallet. To add oil, you need to fill the CH-2940T Crete humidifier on its side. And the pull-out mechanism itself causes difficulties with opening. Plus, the manufacturer has not indicated anywhere that oil-based oils cannot be filled - can only be determined empirically. For those who are not in the know, the heater used by the fragrance melts the oil. If the composition is oil-based, then it turns into glue. Accordingly, removing the plate is problematic.
• The lid collects and holds condensate. When pouring water, in any case, you need to remove the lid and put it somewhere. So, water drains from it and a puddle forms on the surface.
• There is no filter to distill water. When using non-distilled water (bottled or from a tap), white deposits appear on the furniture. They are easily eliminated, but the fact of education itself is annoying.
• There is no built-in hygrometer. This is not to say that this is required functionality. But I would like to see the result of the humidifier.
• Lack of spare parts. The manufacturer is actively promoting its products, but there are no cartridges for water treatment on sale. If desired, you can independently make a cleaner from improvised materials. But it's not right. There should be manufacturer support.

In conclusion

 

The impression of technology is twofold. But the scales are more inclined in the positive direction, given the price of the climatic device. A humidifier for the home CH-2940T Crete can be bought for educational purposes. And then decide whether you need a more powerful device or, in general, the climate device is not interesting. The price of 50 US dollars allows for a similar experiment.

And yet, the manufacturer does not indicate the algorithm for using the humidifier anywhere. For example, it is not said that for the effectiveness of increasing humidity in the room, you should close the front door and eliminate all kinds of drafts. The fact is, atmospheric pressure and temperature throughout the room affects humidity. If the door is open in the room with the humidifier, then the efficiency of the climatic device will be significantly lower (2-5% of the nominal). If we exclude air communication with other rooms in the house, then humidity can increase by 30% of the nominal and higher. That is, with air humidity in the room at around 30-35%, the indicator will quickly rise to 40-60%. Mist should not be expected, but cool humidity will be felt with the whole body.
