Kenmore Humidifier Wick Filter 14909, 14912, E2R

Kenmore Humidifier Wick Filter 14909, 14912, E2RI purchased this replacement filter/wick for our humidifier this year and all I can say is, it doesn't work. First, the construction of the media is very open -which I thought meant that it would function better than our older wicks. Not so. These filters aren't strong enough to support the weight of the air funnel in the humidifier or their own weight -when wet. They also don't wick enough water up into themselves to humidify the air. I ran our humidifier on high for eight hours last night. The humidity level in the house was 20% and the humidifier consumed about two quarts of water. Using our old wicks, the humidifier reservoir would have been almost empty. I'm looking online now trying to find our old wicks.

My advise is although these are initially cheaper they are more expensive in the long run. When I first looked at them I thought they would be a much better design due to the very open material weave. They look like a big honey comb. However, they worked very poorly. The original Kenmore filters would last 1/2 of the winter season before changing. These only functioned for about a week and poorly at that. They do not wick the water well and seem to get clogged very fast. The performance at the end of a week was about the same as the Kenmore filters after a couple of months. After getting wet these are almost impossible to replace without having them fall apart. Poor design & poor performance. Stick with the original or at least something similar.

I will agree with previous comments that the filter has less capacity to wick water up. Our humidifier is not faced with the problem of the "air cone" depressing the filter as it sits on supports that allow the area of the filter itself to remain in it's original shape. The problem is it just doesn't wick up enough water. Don't know what I had before for filters but they were a less 'open'....not so 'holey'...I think they were a folded pleat that was denser, not so openly honeycomb appearing, and they would remain wet enough to allow the humidity to remain at a comfortable level. These filters, even tho they are sitting in an inch of water, are dry to the touch on the upper two thirds of its exposed area. We have a 2 1/2 gallon tank on our Emerson two filter humidifier. With the old filters on dry cold winter days it would need to be filled every 12 hours but it kept the humidity at 50%. With this 'new' type of filter it takes over 24 hours to empty the tank.... meanwhile the humidity drops into the uncomfortable 30's. What to do? I bought six sets (a case) of these filters and find them not up to the task. What can you do to the water to make it more 'wickable' to these filters? I tried a few drops of liquid soap (to decrease the surface tension) but that was not satisfactory.

OK these aren't as thick as the old models, but they work and fit fine, and I received my order the next day. I wasn't able to find the older, thicker filters anywhere, and I've been looking for two years!

Maverick A0-01 BBQ Accessory Organizer

Maverick A0-01 BBQ Accessory OrganizerGreat idea bought 1 for SinL and myself. Just need to be a little more heavy duty on the post and clamp.

Having animals if we hang the utensils on the BBQ utensil holder, we have to watch the animals are not licking them. This gives us a Great way to hang the utensils high and also have a place for paper towels.

This was a gift for my BBQ obsessed husband. He clamped it on to our patio table because our smoker/BBQ Pit does not have a little table. With a little piece of cardboard for extra support it worked perfectly. My husband had to bend the little rod that keeps the towels from spinning just a bit so it would be tighter. The winds have been fierce this year in Texas. It's not as flimsy as I thought it might be from reading other reviews.

Water Based Air Purifier Humidifier Aroma Therapy and Air Cleaner by New Comfort

Water Based Air Purifier Humidifier Aroma Therapy and Air Cleaner by New ComfortRecieved this product and it does not work as a humidifier.. It just spins with pretty lights..I do not recommend if you want a cool water humidifier.

I dont think it really helps clean the air, but it is very cool to look at, the water movement creates big waves of color. Also I put one in the bathroom for clean scent, and in my sons room also.

SPT SU-2020 Ultrasonic Humidifier, 2-Gallon

SPT SU-2020 Ultrasonic Humidifier, 2-GallonWhen I was looking for a humidifier. Amazon was the only place I could find one. After reading the reviews I chose this one and I am so glad. Perfect size, easy to handle, fill and clean. Works so well and one of the best things about it, is, it is QUIET. I couldn't be any happier.

Unit works very well. Second one purchased. First sent back after 29 days due to motor bearings going bad. Water last a long time even at full discharge.

This particular humidifier that I am writing about is actually my second one ordered from Amazon. First things first, I am very pleased with this unit, so quiet you can hardly hear it running. Filling the reservoir allows a good 24 hours of misting on high setting. I've been running this unit 24-7 since startup about four weeks ago without any problems other than normal cleaning maintenance.

Now for my first purchase. Upon initial startup everything was working well until I shut it off to move to another area of the house. I could not get it restarted again. Needless to say I wasn't too happy. I called Amazons Customer Service and explained my dilemma to them. In less than 24 hours FedEx was at my door with a new replacement unit and all the paperwork for free return shipment of the defective one. I was very impressed with the way Amazon handled this unfortunate situation.Lets hope I had the only bad apple in the warehouse, and I would still recommend this humidifier to anyone.

The humidifier works well so far (we've been using it for 2 months). It doesn't require filters, so it saves you that maintenance cost. My only complaint is that the outlet for the mist can't be adjusted upward, so it tends to leave a damp spot on the ground in front of the spout.

It's quiet and holds a lot of water. Humidification output dial can make the tank last about a day to several days. We found that the moisture tends to fall close to the unit so we lifted it off the ground. This allowed the mist to go more into the air and not on the floor. Very happy with purchase and considering another for another room in the appartment.

Humidifier Tube Xikar - Cigar Drymistat Humidification Tube

Humidifier Tube Xikar - Cigar Drymistat Humidification Tubeunfortunately there was only one picture for this. this thing is much larger than i thought. it is the size of a cigar. you need to put more product photos.

UPDATE, was reading on the product's website, and they recommended cutting the tube down to size for fitting it in a small carry case. this fixed my problem totally.
