Both devices are innovative devices that contribute to improving air quality and the general atmosphere in the room. They can be called "guides" to health and well-being. But what is better - an air cleaner or a sink of air, we try to figure it out.
Brief "content" of
devices
air washer This device is equipped with a rotating disc mechanism that passes through a container with water. There is also a fan in the device that "accepts" the airflow, passes it through the discs, so that clean and moistened air exits outwards.
Air cleaner
In this device, air passes through a certain filter system( models can have different filters), which cleans it of dirt. As a rule, filters have several stages of purification, where each stage is aimed at neutralizing "one's own" pollution( some filters are better able to remove smoke and odors, and some - remove wool, pollen, dust).
The main difference between a sink and a cleaner is the possibility of air humidification.
Comparing the capabilities of
To get more acquainted with each device, let's see what an air cleaner can do and how to clean the air.
