20x25x5 MERV 10 Honeywell Grill Filter (2 Pack)

20x25x5 MERV 10 Honeywell Grill FilterI've never had any problems with these filters until recently. I bought two of them in early December and within the month, both seemed to be having extreme difficulty letting air flow through even though there was no visible dust build-up on the filters. I just noticed that my heater/ac was much louder and running more often and when I checked the filters, there was extreme pressure pulling on them. $80+ on filters in one month is outrageous. Went back to a $20 Filtrete and will see how that does. Seems to be much better for now. Will probably never buy these again.

I had been buying the same filters from my AC guy, but found them on Amazon for half the price. For all I know, he gets his there too.

They seem to work really well. It's a bit difficult to quantitatively judge just how well they do without specialized equipment, but my wife says that she gets very little dirt when she dusts. They may seem high priced, but if a person changes say, a Filtrete 1-inch filter, once a month then the total cost would be more than using the 4-inch ones, which last a year under normal use. Plus, you only have the hassle of changing them once a year instead of once a month.

They don't look particularly well-made, but they're strong enough to get the job done.

Crane 1 Gallon Humidifier, Hello Kitty

Crane 1 Gallon Humidifier, Hello KittyI only rate an item if it's extremely good, or really poor, and this item is great. We bought it for our daughter because she would cough at night. After we put it in her room it really reduced her coughing. It also doubles as a great night light. We liked it so much we bought a similar humidifier that was in the shape of a panda, but it was not nearly as good as the hello kitty product, and it didn't have the night light feature.

I was looking for a small and quiet humidifier and this was exactly what I needed. Also, because I had a bad experience with my previous humidifier, I wanted one with no filter. I have it for 2 months now and no problems at all.

May 2008: Still fine! January 2009: Still fine, no complaints! January 2010: It's still working fine!

Buy Crane 1 Gallon Humidifier, Hello Kitty Now

I'm shocked to say...this is truly my favorite humidifier, and I've had about 8 or 9 in my lifetime. I bought it for my 8 month old daughter who just caught her 1st cold. I went online & read every review before I purchased anything, and I was surprised that these Crane animal cool-mist humidifiers were getting such a great rating. So I went for the Hello Kitty, because it's cute and also I love the nightlight feature, and sure enough...it's the best! The cool mist comes out IMMEDIATELY, which I like. It also doesn't leave anything wet anywhere around it, which is shocking! I've always had warm mist in my previous humidifiers, so I wasn't sure how much I would like it with the cool mist, but it works out great. Plus I feel rest assured that my daughter won't get burned (as soon as I turn it on, she waves her hand through the mist). She has a 12x12 room and I find that if I leave it on too long (like all day), it's almost like walking into a cloud! That's how much mist it puts out. So, if I leave it on during the 12-13 hours she is sleeping, that is perfect. Then I can turn it back on when she's napping and turn it off when she's awake (I truly don't need it running continually because you can feel the moisture in the air). Again nothing in her room got wet! I was afraid of dampness on the walls or carpet, but it just doesn't happen. And I like that it doesn't run out of water too quickly. I was worried that half way through the night it would be empty, but that is not the case. I only have had to change/refill the water every 2 days. Another cool feature, you can see how much water is left! I like that a lot. One peek in her room at night, and you can see the water line through the nightlight so I know if she has enough to keep going all night. I highly recommend this, and I like that I can just drive to Target & pick it up there too.

This thing does not have a mist that shoots out of the kitty's ears. It's more like a vapor that stays right by the ears. We have a meter to measure humidity (yes we're that dorky) and after a night of running the Hello Kitty machine the humidity didn't budge. We are returning this item and are going to get a good old fashined humidifier from Walgreens. Maybe we just got a dud because I read other good reviews.

Want Crane 1 Gallon Humidifier, Hello Kitty Discount?

We bought this when I hit my annual bout of bronchitis and found that the old humidifier was pretty much dead. I honestly wasn't expecting much, just something that spits out some water and looks cute, with a higher price tag for the Kitty. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is actually a very high-quality humidifier, with all of the bells and whistles found on others in the same price range. Others boast two settings, this one has an entire adjustable range of settings. It doesn't make a sound at all and it's easy to fill and to clean. The nightlight is cute, but not very useful, as the LED power indicator is extremely bright and puts out more light than the nightlight does. Still, though, it's a soft purple and very soothing to look at.

Science has shown that happy thoughts can help contribute to quicker healing and recovery, and something this adorable can definitely add to that.
