The Beurer air washer LW230 humidifies air that is too dry and at the same time purifies the air by removing house dust, pollen, animal hair and odors. The air is "washed clean" as it is done in nature by rain. The accompanying Silvertex ion pads prevent the development of bacteria, fungi and algae in the water, eliminating the need to add chemical liquids.   Humans spend the vast majority of their time in closed spaces.
