BAPF1500CS Bionaire Electrete Filter

BAPF1500CS Bionaire Electrete FilterI have a W12 Bionaire Humidifier that requires TWO of these filter packs. Check your humidifier carefully before you order, I thought I was ordering a spare filter, but in fact required two quantity of this product. The part ordered here is for one single filter (there are two filter elements per pack).

The filters fit perfectly. They are exactly what are required, for about a month worth of humidification air filtration. If you are a little bit handy, there is an infinitely less expensive solution to this, well, I hate to say it, but, highway robbery. Purchase a standard furnace filter, 3M Filterette is a really great choice. The plastic frame of these filters pop apart fairly easily (there are a series of tabs you pry apart). Cut down the furnace filter, and place it inside the plastic frame. Be extremely careful with the sharp ends of the wire mesh on the filter.

Adding things up, four pairs of these filters per humidification season plus a wick, and this humidifier is a very expensive unit to run.

Honeywell Humidifier Wick Filter, Single, HAC-504AW

Honeywell Humidifier Wick Filter, Single, HAC-504AWI don't even know why they still make the non-airwashing filters. These Honeywell HAC-504 Replacement Filter for Honeywell Humidifiers really do take a lot of the dust out the air, but more importantly these filters holdup a lot longer than the HONEYWELL/ENVIRACAIRE HAC-504 Replacement Filter Pad ones do, and they really aren't that much more expensive. These filters are mislisted though, their real part number is HAC-504AW, the "AW" is for "Air Washing", because for the blue layer of filter material.

We run two humidifiers all year round here--it's dry in the desert--and these filters are MUCH better than the reg ones. It's worth a little more to get these. That blue stuff on the outside helps them last longer and filter the air better.

For years I have been delighted with these replacement filters for my Honeywell humidifier. Unfortunately the manufacturer has recently made a product change that I find very disappointing, the filter's thickness has been reduced in half while keeping the price unchanged. This of course then cuts in half the amount of wet area exposed to the air stream making the humidier less effective!

I just received my Honeywell filters. I ordered from Amazon.com last time and got a much better quality of filter than the one sent with this order. This time the product came in a green box with premium replacement filter on the outside. However the quality is not nearly as good as the previous product which came in a blue box. These are both wick type filters but they are not made the same. The inferior one has less thick washing layer and it isn't as dense. The inferior product weighs 1.5 ounces and the product I received before weighs 3 ounces. As you can see someone is trying to pass off a generic product for the same price. I am very disappointed in Amazon for going a long with this. Now I will try and return the inferior product and this is a big hassle for me. I find it hard to find these filters so I order them online. I will also complain to Kaz Incorporated about the inferior product. I paid 12.99 a filter so I could get the better quality filter. I did not get the quality I paid for!

I wrote Amazon about the product and they sent me a shipping label to send the package back free of charge. I am to get a refund in about two weeks. They also gave me 5.00 coupon for my next order. I have spent a lot of extra time writing them, writing this review, printing labels, repackaging the item and will still need to drop it off at UPS.

This filter appears to be a genuine Honeywell filter but is much thinner and does a poor job of evaporating the water. The previous filter would empty a 1.5 gallon tank in 24 hrs. With this filter it is 1/2 full 24 hrs. later. See my video for direct comparison. I suspect the other 1 and 2 stars reviews do not realize this is a different filter. I searched the box and both say Honeywell HAC-504aw. It appears to be made by Honeywell. Honeywell go back to the old filter or I will get a different brand of humidifier.

Crane Hs-3161 Drop Shape Humidifier Filter

Crane Hs-3161 Drop Shape Humidifier FilterI got this because I knew in advance that my tap water was 'hard'. In the drop humidifier instructions (which you don't read until you have purchased the thing) it says note: It is recommended you used filtered or distilled water. The reason is because the minerals in tap water will cause some white dust to come from the machine. And I guess over time it will cause the unit to not work properly. Anyway I got this thing and they don't list here that it should be replaced after 30-40 refills and you refill every day. That means the life of the filter is around a month. Just consider this expense if you have hard water like almost everyone does.

The filter itself is around 3x5 inches. It fits in there just fine. You have to soak it for 30 minutes before you put it in the machine.

We ordered this filter for our Crane drop humidifier EE-5301 as we have pretty hard water in our area. The filter works well and we have stocked up to get us through the winter season. I read the previous reviews and found the filter to fit perfectly. It seems Amazon took care shipping the correct product. I would recommend this filter if you have lots of minerals in the water or use well water

Crane has updated the drop shape humidifier and in the process changed the required shape of this filter. Unfortunately, they didn't change the model number at all. So if you buy this filter you really have no way of knowing which one you will actually receive and worse yet if it will match your humidifier. I just bought the humdifier new and added the filter because I know my water isn't the best. Got both in the same box and proceeded to think I was going crazy because the filter just wouldn't fit. Ended up calling Crane directly who didn't want to help me because we didn't have the correct number of some sort. Finally received this response:

Dear Crane Customer,

I apologize that you are experiencing a problem with your new Drop Shape and Filter. You are not doing anything wrong! Unfortunately, against our request, some retailers are still selling/shipping an older model of filter that does not work with the newest model of Drop Shape.

There isn't much to say about a humidifier filter, but my humidifier doesn't seem to work quite right without the filter so I use them.

HW EasyCare Cool Mist Humidifi

HW EasyCare Cool Mist HumidifiThe advertisement for this product was very well written, describing a product that is far from what you get.

The humidifier is NOISY on the lowest setting. If you put it on the high setting it sounds like a FREIGHT TRAIN is coming. Also, I have had it three weeks and the filters are disgusting already and needs constant cleaning. I requested Amazon directions on how to return this product. Very UNSATISIFIED with this purchase.

Went through three humidifiers then i found this one. It lasted the longest out of all of the humidifiers I have tried. I just change the filter when it gets dirty and its worth it. It is not easy to clean, but I suggest a little bleach in the water once a week, just to prevent it from getting moldy or musty.

I recieved this item and i noticed the intructions were not so easy to follow did not say how to empty the tray and it did not have a retractable tray for the water. I noticed that their was a piping tube and some kind of plastic filter with a piece of mesh the instructions did not tell me where any of it went so I turned on my air cooler it blew cold air after filling it with water and it went all over my floor so now I have a huge mess of water to clean up. So I wanted to give a heads up. You might want to call the manufacturer if you cant figure it out the number is in the instruction booklet.

Space-gard And Aprilaire #4100 Aprilaire Pump Rebuild Kit For 448, 445a, 445

Space-gard And Aprilaire #4100 Aprilaire Pump Rebuild Kit For 448, 445a, 445Although the component is exactly what's needed to repair an outdated, non-functional Aprilaire humidifier, and it fits perfectly into the existing space without needing to be modified in any way, it is ridiculously overpriced. For your money, you get the two-piece, snap-together plastic pump housing, a replacement plastic pump impeller, a plastic spacer, and a thin metal washer. All told, these pieces contain possibly a dollar's worth of materials. Although no instructions are supplied with the parts, they are easy to assemble into the existing humidifier. But, as with all special-purpose replacement mechanical components, you can't grab them at the local hardware store: the supply is low, so the price is high. I would suggest to anyone that needs this part to consider replacing the entire humidifer instead.

Honeywell H12005 Replacement Filter for Dirt Devil Extreme Power Cordless Hand Vac

Honeywell H12005 Replacement Filter for Dirt Devil Extreme Power Cordless Hand VacThese work perfectly. I bought TONS of them so I can throw them away after each use because they get so gross and clogged up with cat hair and dirt(we have hardwood floors and there's nowhere for the cat hair (OR dust/dirt for that matter) to go except onto EVERY SURFACE IN THE HOUSE). They are cheap enough to where I feel ok doing that. At the time it was buy 4 get 1 free or something like that and they come in 2-packs.
