Panasonic F-VXF65 Air Cleaner/Humidifier featuring Nanoe technology

[tytjanik]

Hello! Thank you for review!

Speaking about humidifier, does this model have any indicator to show current humidity in order to keep certain level of it? Or it just works infinitely?

@tytjanik Hi, and thanks. Yes, it has an indicator on the front (lights up in green at top right). Ranges from 'Below 30%' and then in 10% increments to 'Above 70%'. In winter here (in Japan), it usually is about 50-60% in my house. It will still show current humidity even if you do not have the setting on "Humidifier and Air Purifier" (my approximate translation). After using it for three months now on humidifier setting, I do not notice any "smell" that you often get with humidifiers.

thnx 4 the review,but i was wondering since it has a permanent filter, isnt that a downside? i mean it it wont be as effective over the long run.also, do you know how much the filter replacment costs?

[andybsan]

@IslamMyMed Hi and thanks! There are two filters: one for the dust and one for the odor. Both are rated as having ten-year lives. By that time, it may be time to replace the whole thing, anyway (I hope it lasts 10 years!)

On the Panasonic website in Japan, it says:

F-ZXFP70 dust filter @ 7,350 yen

F-ZXFD70 odor filter @ 4,725 yen

Recommended retail prices.

BTW, the dust filter is black and quite tough - easy to see when you have dust build up and to vacuum off. Hope that helps!

An update...

About three months after using it (usually on auto, air filter only), the fan started to sound like a propeller airplane taking off! We got it fixed under warranty, and hope it was a one-off issue with this model. Apart from that, it has been great - have to clean the outer filter every few days (quick low-setting vacuum) as the dust gets so thick. Definitely works well. The humidifier appears to be working well, and the tank usually has to be refilled once a day on average.
