Hunter 31206 Ultrasonic UV Medium/Large Room Humidifier

I bought this unit because it gets really dry downstairs especially with the fireplace being on. I can already tell a difference in the air. I noticed the poor reviews given with the UVC light and also read in the manual that if on it indicated that it needed replacing. So, upon calling Hunter, the CSR explained that the blue light indicated that the machine was on and working and that the light would turn red when the UVC light needed replacing. That being said, the machine is indeed working properly, it is very quite, and IMO gives out pretty good humidity at the mid-way mark.

The only cons that I would make mention is the really BRIGHT blue light as I had to cut a piece of cardboard and tape over it to tone it down a notch. Also, the replacement of the demineraliztion filters on a monthly basis.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helped.

-S

Used it every night for a week since it arrived. Visible stream of mist straight up into the air, but nothing around it gets wet or moist. Have right near the bed and feel no mist whatsoever. Just better breathing and less dry throat. Water tank lasts far more than eight hours. Have yet to get to the automatic turn-off when the tank gets empty. Sleep a full night with higher humidity from a cool stream of vapor. Nothing leaks. No big drops anywhere. Little need for a towel underneath it, but aftr reading all of the horrendouse reviews about other models, I did not want to take a chance. Getting very comfortable about its safety. Also uses tap water and no signs of chemical build-up. Would recommend spending a little more to get quality like this. Absolutely silent. I like a little white noise in the room, but this is so quiet, if you like white noise, you almost have to run an air purifier in the same room. The only thing is the extra bright blue LED on the front indicating that the humidifier is working. Wow! Lights up the whole room. Easily remedied though by taping a small piece of cardboard to hang over the light. I don't know how it works, but it sure does work well. Watch the video from QVC on YouTube. It looks just like that when operating, and practically right out of the box. And the product is solidly made and the tank holds more than a gallon. I would trust running this in my baby granddaughter's room when she gets stuffy. This product is as good, if not better, than advertised.

Buy Hunter 31206 Ultrasonic UV Medium/Large Room Humidifier Now

I received one as a gift about a month ago after talking to my doctor about being prone to dry skin (winter, NE weather), sore throats and overall sinus issues due to allergens in the house ( its an old house).

It is awesome, its sooooo silent and easy to maintain. it comes with a 3 yr warranty. Mine is the 31207 which is the model in Black. It also came with a vapor pad that you can add, which I did this week since I have some sort of cold/flu/virus right now... which works great in my small bedroom as the odor is not over powering.

Without the vapor pad it works well too, it neutralizes odors in the room, and its so silent. I was worried that after a week it would get noisy, but no. Amazing, best gift everrrr.

I logged on to the Hunter website to order my replacement vapor pads and also some other ones and the price for parts ( wear and tear exchanges of course not malfunction) are fairly decent.

****UPDATE 1/29/12**** turns out the vapor pads are discontinued for this humidifier, but no worries, you can use VICKS vapor refill pads Model vsp-19 ( avg $5.99 or so for a box of 5 ) which you can find at any pharmacy :)

Love it, if you have sensitive sinuses, this is item is for you. YOu can use it any time and again its so easy to clean and the parts you hardly replace. [they do recommend the filter 1/month] Im going into 2 months of ownership yet, using it every night and weekends --I think replacement every 2 should suffice :)

Works, no troubles. Have put about 10 gallons of distilled h2o through it over the past few months and have had no problems. The bottom of the top piece does make contact w/ the water in the bottom piece, so stuff gets wet when you need to refill, which there is really no excuse for. And as far as the led is concerned, some electric tape over it solves the problem of it being a second sun.

I read many of the positive and negative reviews on a variety of humidifiers and air cleaners, and if they are all to be believed, every product out there is garbage, and yet at the same time, way better than that other one. It became nearly impossible to find a product that didn't have a scathingly negative review, but I ultimately decided to pull the trigger on this unit, as even if it really was junk, I'd only be out $50 instead of potentially $200 (Air-o-Swiss). Ultimately I am very happy with this unit, and find that most, if not all the negative comments here are either incorrect, expecting waaaay too much from the unit, or are overly critical of ridiculous nuances, and therefore likely to be disingenuous.

Noise: One of the negative reviews I saw stated that this unit was too noisy to have in the same room as them when they slept. I find this absolutely ludicrous as this is one of the quietest humidifiers I have owned (a variety of KAZ re-brands plus a few other wicking types) The fan is virtually silent (more on this in a minute) and although you can hear the gentle trickle of water, as you can on EVERY ultrasonic humidifier, it is by far the quietest unit I have ever encountered. If the sound of a second hand ticking on a clock is enough to keep you awake, I suggest no humidifier will be quiet enough. For the rest of us, this unit is fine. If you really do have noise issues, then I suggest your unit is broken, and should be returned.

Filler Tank: Every single humidifier I have used has an awkward tank design, including this one, and I really don't understand why it has to be so bad. The tank does not sit flat which makes filling difficult, the tank has to be flipped upside down to fill, meaning when you flip it back over you end up with a few stray water drops. These criticisms are shared by EVERY humidifier I've seen, so although I find them annoying, it is no different from any other device. I have yet to experience any strange leaking problems associated with the filler cap/o-ring, and I'd guess that the negative reviewer stating the filler cap leaked everywhere either had a defective, damaged or missing o-ring, Again, no different here than on any other humidifier which all seem to use the same cap/o-ring design without significant issues. Whomever had issues with the unit dumping its entire payload all over the floor probably forgot the o-ring.

LED's: Negative reviews stating the UV LED lit on startup indicating the bulb was bad are incorrect. There may be a misprint in the manual, as the light has to not only be On, but it has to be on Red. Note a red LED also indicates the tank is empty. Nothing to see here, move along. BTW, that blue LED is ridiculously bright, tape is necessary!

Output: This unit does a good job putting out the vapor for sure! The fact that I have to constantly keep refilling it is evidence of that! In fact, you can literally see a dense stream of vapor leaving the (unfortunately nonadjustable) nozzle when on its highest setting. One drawback here is that at the max setting that dense vapor is not really adequately dispersed by the fan, and I think the unit has played it too safe on the noise front to the detriment of proper dispersal at max. Left sitting on a hardwood floor at max setting, the ground did indeed feel a little sticky after a while. Either find a way to elevate the unit, place something underneath it, or probably the most practical, just turn it down a little bit. Yes, the adjustment knob does indeed vary the volume of vapor being put out. I can't say if it functions to maintain a specific humidity level, and to be honest I'd be surprised if it did, but it was fully functional to control output level.

Lasko 1115 3-Gallon Evaporative Recirculating Humidifier

I have been through about 4-5 humidifiers in the last couple of years. My main complaints were noise (especially the boiling sound of the warm mist types), dirtiness after a few days of operation, and difficulty cleaning units. I decided to take another gamble with this humidifier--and it really paid off. I was afraid that the recirculating feature would be just another gimmick, but I can certainly tell the difference.

Pros:

Easy to fill

Easy to clean

Weekly cleanings are fine--could probably even go longer

The machine doesn't seem to get very dirty--recirculating water keeps deposits from forming

Humidifies the air well

Quiet operation (just the sound of the fan)

Long filter life

Cons:

Can't really think of any other than I can't buy the filters locally

I highly recommend this product!

This humidifier worked great...when it worked properly. It has sprung a leak on us a couple times, luckily we noticed it as soon as we turned it on. Last night, we were not so lucky and about an hour after we had turned it on, I noticed the carpet all around it was SOAKED. There is a section underneath the refill window where two pieces of plastic come together...that is where the water would leak from. It was not every time we ran it, but after last night and it soaking our carpet, it is being returned! It was nice when it worked, especially nice feature to refill it from the top, but we clearly received a defective one! I have also wondered from the beginning whether we received a 'new' or returned humidifier...filter was not nice and white/clean!

I've had a lot of crappy humidifiers in all price ranges, but this one seems to do what it's supposed to do. It's been on constantly now for a month, and seems to be pumping out ample humidity without dampening a single thing around it or emitting scary white dust. Amazing! The replacement filters are also cheap, which is great.

Cons: A bit loud, seems to need filling a lot even on the lowest setting (but very easy fill can bring pitcher to it rather than drag tank to the sink and lug back), and above all, big and ugly my husband calls it an aircraft carrier, I think it's more like a urinal. But really, those are not deal breakers to me. I'm just happy to find something that works like it's supposed to! yay!

The Pro's:

This thing can add a lot of humidity in a relatively short period of time. It had no problem maintaining 50-60% humidity on the medium setting in our 1800 sq ft home.

The front fill panel makes it super easy to grab your plant watering can and add a half gallon or so as needed. This is good because even on medium it can empty the resevoir in less than 24 hours.

Easy to clean/maintain and the Lasko filters are cheaper than most

The Nuetral's:

As with most humidifiers the "high" setting is too loud to reasonably use unless you are quickly trying to add humidity while your not home.

As with most humidifiers the 3 gallon rating is the max moisture it can add to the air in a 24 hour period. It only holds 1.75 so you have to fill relatively often in the winter when the heater is constantly working against you.

The Con's:

This unit does not have Auto-shutoff. It uses a pump to keep the filter moist and generally keep the water moving to help prevent mold/bacteria. This is great, but if you let it run dry the pump is toast.

If you over-fill it the fan motor is toast and I was never able to find the fill line that the manual indicates the unit has so I probably tended to underfill it.

The fill door, while very convenient, has a major design flaw. If you fill it while it's running (and I always did...the manual says not to, but i'm sure everybody does) there is a likelyhood that some water from the running pump will trickle out and down the side while you are filling. This seems minor, but once that trickle starts its like starting a siphon...it just keeps going until it's empty. Twice my unit slowly emptied itself onto the floor over the course of several hours. The first time I noticed and shut it off...the 2nd time was overnight and once it ran out of water the pump burnt out.

I'd consider 18 months of near constant use pretty reasonable for a $45 product so I gave 3 stars despite the design flaws...just keep an eye on it.

I liked the idea of an Evaporative Recirculating Humidifier. Of course, the 3 Gallon capacity is bull squat. Ad doesn't mention filling it twice a day. Had same Leak Problem as others. Worked great, filter a great idea, Then: The great leak on my carpet. I thought I screwed up and became extremely diligent in following all the rules. Don't overfill, Be sure to turn off unit before filling, Keep unit level. Worked fine, and then the same thing. It Leaked.Really liked the unit and didn't want the hassle of returning the unit. SOLVED the Problem by placing the Unit inside of a Litter Pan. Got one from Big Lots for 6.00, measures about 14 x 17 X 4" High. The Unit perfectly. Now, if it leaks again, the water stays inside the Litter pan.

Then I got smart and contacted the manufacturer @ 1-800-233-0268. Described my problem, and discovered a missing part. They sent me a plastic insert that fits onto a lower track just inside the front creme panel. The insert has a groove that slides over this inside track. Do not try to attach to the clear panel. The clear panel is designed to press against it when closed. Finally, Problem solved.

I recently purchased this great aroma diffuser. I can't say enough good about it!! It's a nice size and super easy to use. Just lift off the top, add water and essential oils, put the top back on and push the button then forget about it. It has a timer adjustment, it will run for 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours or set it to run continuously (mine lasted an entire day). There are 15 different light color settings, which includes not having a light on at all. The mist it gives out is just as shown in the photo. Within minutes I can smell the essential oil all throughout my house. I have two of these for my own personal use and one for my office. I ordered extras and sold them to my friends because I wanted them to also enjoy this great product....I wish I had ordered more now. The product has a one year manufacturer warranty. When I first opened it I was worried that the power cord wasn't included, but it was packed neatly inside the diffuser...so if you choose to buy one, look there before panicing like I did. :) Only thing left to say is that I would definately purchase this again and I would certainly recommend it to anyone considering buying one. Happy Oiling!!

Cigar Oasis Ultra

I have two of these units. If your Humidor is right out the box, dry, it will take at least a week of this unit running non stop. Also depending on the size of your humidor. One trick I used was to shut off the display and just let it keep on running. Many people say the readout is wrong by ten degrees. I have three readouts and it is off by one or two degrees.

It gets the job done... with a couple of caveats.

First off: the unit is small. It fits under the lid of a personal humidor as advertised. This means the water reservoir is small, as well. If you live in a dry climate like I do (Southern California), you will need to refill the unit often. It will be running frequently. If you want a small unit this is a fact you need to live with.

Second: don't use the battery pack. When the unit runs frequently it drains the batteries quickly. As the voltage drops the unit gets quirky and doesn't read the humidity accurately. Just run the unit off of the wall plug and everything works great.

Third: don't use distilled water to refill the unit, use a Glycol Solution. With the frequent refills required in a dry climate, the small sponge in the reservoir will not maintain its mold prevention properties for any length of time. And nobody wants fuzzy cigars. Either that, or be prepared to buy refill cartridges regularly.

If these three items are things you can accept, the unit will live up to expectations.

I only rated 4 stars because I really wanted the Ultra to run off of the battery pack and was forced to use the wall plug. Other than that, I really like the unit.

It is currently running in a desk-top, 75 cigar humidor half filled with Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signatures.

As a cigar enthusiast, I'll pay a pretty penny to make sure my puros are kept in top form with a good humidor and proper humidification. I was excited about this product when I read about it. Initially, it seems to work as advertised. I used the batteries instead of the A/C adapter just because of the configuration of the space where my humidor is located. After a week or two, an audible alarm was sounding. Hmmm. Nothing in the instruction booklet says anything about an audible alarm. All it says is that you will get one of two messages in the LED display if the unit is either low on batteries or low on water. So, I added water and replaced batteries, and as I was rebooting the unit, I got a display that said "C1.5". Hmmm. Nothing about that in the instruction booklet, either. So, I found the supplier's website in which they prominently display their phone number. No one home, so I left a voice mail and my return call number. 3-4 weeks it's been, and no return call. In the meantime, whenever I would check my humidor, the display unit kept reading 58% humidity. No way. My analog humidity dial didn't register that low, so I checked my unit with a psychrometer (that's a device that will register relative humidity available at any hardware store). Indeed, the unit was falsely registering low humidity. So, I added new batteries and re-booted again, and now, the unit seems to be registering the humidity correctly. For this kind of gadget price: (1) it needs to work flawlessly as advertised; (2) instructions need to include all information about the unit, including the mysterious "C1.5" readout, and (3) the supplier ought to have the good manners to at least return a phone call. My advice is look elsewhere and don't spend your money on this one.

Bought this about 9 months ago and have never once regretted it. As a periodic cigar smoker, I don't have the time to keep checking the humidor and making sure everything is perfect. With this system in my 25 cigar humidor, I litterally put the cartridge in, plug it in and forget about it. Cigars are always perfect. Some complain that it may be off in its readings and I can't validate it, but I have never had a problem and my cigar smoking friends marvel at the consistency of my humidor. Best part is that when the water is out it beeps to let you know. In a well-seasoned humidor the water lasts a couple of months.

This has allowed me to confidently buy cigars in greater bulk (at a discount) and keep an inventory of various cigars so that I can have whatever I want whenever I want.

Air-O-Swiss U650 Digital Warm & Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidification System

After having an infant addition to our family, I began looking for a humidifier especially with the Winter season fast approaching. I was looking at function, maintenance parts and prices as well as build quality and design. I didn't like how the various humidifiers looked like too quirky, too plastic-looking, too generic.

Then this Air-O-Swiss U650 caught my eye. It had an elegant design and shiny white colour that would fit any contemporary home. It reminded me of our Rabbit Air purifier in both elegant design and price. If I were to add this to our home, it wouldn't be an eye sore.

FEATURES:

1. Digital Display. Easy to read display even from afar to spot check it's current setting.

2. Sensitive Touch Controls. No need to press oddly raised buttons. This one sits flush on the unit for a seamless and simple design.

3. Simple Amber Lighting. No multi-coloured tacky lighting. This reminded me of the old German car lighting that was easy to see and read. At night, you can dim the backlight for a non-annoying soft light.

4. Hygrometer. This is one of the reasons why I chose this unit. Unlike the cheap humidifiers that just keeps on spewing moisture into the air. This unit will alert you of the current humidity level in your room/home. From there you can make a sensible judgement if you still want to introduce more humidity by raising the desired level.

5. Auto Mode with an "Intelligent Temperature Compensation". Humidity levels change when the temperature changes. You can't just expect to keep on maintaining a certain level when it's not advantageous and healthy. By setting the unit to auto mode, it calculates the desired humidity level based on the current temperature. No need to second guess what level you should be at throughout the whole day.

6. Cool/Warm Mist. Both have it's pros and cons depending on the current condition and season. You'd want a warm mist on cooler days and a cool mist on colder days.

THOUGHTS:

Like any humidifier or product that involves water for that matter, you'll need to know how to best maintain the product to keep it functioning as expected and prolong the life of the unit. For this specific Air-O-Swiss humidifier, there are two parts to replace:

The Ion Silver Stick that eliminates bacteria in the water and is expected to be replaced yearly. Expensive, but at least just done annually.

Demineralization Cartridge that needs quarterly replacement depending on the usage of the unit. If you use tap water, this is important to prevent any white dust due to hardened minerals to form in the water. Upon first use, you will need to soak this cartridge in water for 24 hours. The work-around is to use distilled or reverse osmosis water. That way there are no minerals in the water and you won't need this cartridge at all. Of course the cost is now buying distilled water versus buying another part. Choose your poison. If you have a reverse osmosis filter for your home, then that is even better. You save on buying this part and you are helping keep the product in the best shape ever.

Although I'd love to have this unit be more compact and slim, I guess it's necessary to be this bulky to prevent frequent water refilling for at least a day or even days. Where I reside, it rains quite often so there is enough moisture in the air at times. Since the unit is able to read the humidity levels in the air, it won't operate unless needed. This in turn helps eliminate the water tank refills.

If you were to invest in a humidifier, skip the novelty of the others and the guessing game of humidity levels in your home. This will do the job. Quite elegantly, I must add.

My experience with this humidifier is pretty much like the review "Beware" by MrJ.

This product is way overpriced and required more maintenance than I expected. It sure does look good with the high-tech display but that's all it has comparing to other humidifiers that cost many times less. For me, I have a need to use the humidifiers all Winter long every year. So, the decision to purchase this expensive Air-O-Swiss humidifier in hope that it can do better, last longer with less maintenance (because of Demineralization cartridge). Well, I was wrong. It made no difference with or with out the cartridge filter. I get even more white dust from this humidifier than any other humidifier I've used. The design flaw makes it hard to put the water tank back in and it drips a lot when remove it to refill every time. After the purchase of this A-O-S U650, I ended up using it a lot less than other low cost humidifier, which, btw is the Honeywell HWM-950. I like this Honeywell product a lot due to its low cost, easy to clean, and it works just like the A-O-S U650 if not better. It usually goes with "You get what you pay for" but NOT in this case. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AIR-O-SWISS U650 PRODUCT.

The highlights, which for me justified splurging $200+ on a humidifier, were supposed to be the humidistat, the demineralization system, the antibacterial defenses, and the high capacity.

I ended up disappointed with 3 of those 4 features:

The humidistat doesn't work. It was stuck at 35-40% even when the humidity in the room got to 80%. Total joke. Perhaps I should have tried exchanging the unit, but based on other reviews I concluded this is likely a design defect and not worth the time to keep trying replacements.

The antibacterial system is marketed as "4 band". As an engineer I automatically assumed this meant 4 bands of UV radiation. But I was wrong. The unit does not have a UV lamp at all. What they meant by 4-band and is explained in the manual, is: the pre-heating, the silver sticks, the ultrasonic tech, and special treated plastic together are the 4 things that kill bacteria. Perhaps my fault for not reading the fine print, anyhow, I'm disappointed.

Yes the mist-making capacity is higher than that on cheaper humidifiers, BUT, the extra pumping power comes with severe downsides: 1. The machine does not shoot the mist high enough up in the air, so it tends to make the surface it's sitting on become soaking wet, unless you run it at reduced power. A competitor's cheap unit shoots the mist twice as high. and 2. The tank only lasts 12 hours, that too is unless you turn down the dial.

My goal had been to keep a room at constant humidity 24x7. The lack of a working humidistat coupled with 12-hour capacity at full power actually had the opposite effect of maximizing the range of extremes dry when tank empty and nobody home to refill; too humid when running, due to failure of humidistat to cause automatic shutoff.

The demineralization system worked extremely well. A competitor's cheap unit left a fine white dust everywhere, although it did a better job of keeping the room within a comfortable humidity level.

I purchased this item based on the great reviews I read about it. It worked all of 6 days before dying on me. If I'm lucky, the manufacturer will replace it or refund my money. We'll see. Meanwhile, I bought a replacement filter and replacement ion stick for when I would have had to change them. I'm out that money now.

EDIT: I contacted the manufacturer twice this week via email (I'm military and stationed in Germany, so calling isn't always an option for me), and I have gotten zero responses. Not only do I think the product is terrible, I think Air-O-Swiss's customer service is beyond terrible. I seriously recommend considering something else if you're looking for a humidifier after my experience.

Want Air-O-Swiss U650 Digital Warm & Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidification System Discount?

Contrary to popular perception, much of Colorado is as dry as a BONE. We have had mostly drought conditions in the Colorado Springs area for almost 15 years and that made it absolutely necessary to have a really GOOD humidifier. My requirement was complicated by my preference for a humidifier that could produce either warm, or cool mist. That made the quest quite difficult, and to put it simply, to my knowledge, nobody but Air-O-Swiss makes humidifiers that can produce either warm or cool mist. One thing that hasn't changed about Colorado is that it can be both hot and cold on the same day, so you definitely want both kinds of vapor mist, heated, and cool.

I went through two of the Venta Sonic VS205 humidifiers which I bought at an Ace Hardware store and although it produced an abundance of cool mist (even the cheapo's will do this), I never was able to get them to produce warm mist. I've never been able to get the store display moels of the Venta Sonic humidifiers to generate any warm mist, either.

So, off to Bed, Bath, and Beyond where I saw the entire variety of Air-O-Swiss humidifiers. I was like a kid in a candy store. They had all the humidifiers running in a separate section of the store and I could examine each as much as I wanted.

I finally decided to buy this pricy U650 model because of the filtration system, the disinfection feature, and the wide variety of control parameters the users can set. I had a 20% off coupon for Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and that sealed the deal.

I've had this humidifier for four months now and all I can say is that it is simply wonderful. I use it in a room that is roughly 22 feet by 16 feet and it keeps the humidity at exactly the point where I want it. The hygrometer is precise and consistent and literally allows you to set it and forget it without having everything get too damp. You can choose three different levels of vapor output, and on "High" this thing really put out a lot!

Maybe it's more the quality of our tap water in the Colorado Springs but I'm still using the same filter cartridge that came with the humidifier. They tell you to change it every two months, but that may not be necessary unless you live somewhere with really horribly mineralized water, like Phoenix. Just use good, clean water, and keep the humidifier clean (a monitoring system will tell you when to clean the nebulizer gizmo, and that is easy to do). One other thing: you may get a "false positive" that the unit is not working properly, and if that happens, try rapping the cartridge on the side of the sink gently on all parts of the cartridge. This kind of "shakes loose" the granules inside and breaks up any little clumps that may have formed. I have only needed to do this once in four months. Spend the extra money and get something that will make you happy. Life has enough other problems to worry about for you to have to be wheezing around in a powder-dry atmosphere.

One word of caution: don't have "slippery" hands when you refill the tank. The handle is mounted up top in the back of the unit, so after it is filled and you put the cap back on with the cartridge, you must support all the water weight from above on THE SIDE. I use two hands to do this. And I steady and position the bottom of the tank with the left hand while I hold the tank handle securely with the right hand. Cheers!

HDC-411 Emerson Humidifier Wick Filter (2 Pack)

I bought these last year for half the price of the HDC-411, but set them aside as soon as I saw that these were NOT Emerson/Essicks HDC-411. Caught with a need to suddenly switch my Emerson humidifier's filters, I've now used them and they STINK!

PROS:

None at all, as in "Golly, these are worthless junk, but at least I save a couple bucks!"

CONS:

Weak won't stand up or support the funnel shroud.

Flimsy not enough material to draw up and hold lots of water the way the Emerson filters work.

Cheaply made instead of layers of fan-fold impressed filter media, this is a cheap stamping of just

a few layers of thin filter paper laminated on each side of thin aluminum core sheets.

Short-lived: I'm used to getting 75-90 days use out of Emerson/Essick HDC-411 filters, but these fail in

JUST TWO WEEKS!! The problem is LACK OF MATERIAL.

Save your money and shell out for the real thing (look closely at the photos and watch out for trick words like "Aftermarket", which often means that the product has NOTHING to do with the product you want!

The filter is very different from the one I have been using. The replacement fits and is working to date. I have yet to determine its performance.

You cannot beat these for the price. I am going to start ordering a years supply from them, and it would make the deal even better.

Replaced old ones and fit perfectly. Happy to have the humidifier running again. House is so dry when not running
