20x25x5 (19.63x24.38x4.88) MERV 8 Skuttle Replacement Filter (2 Pack)

20x25x5 MERV 8 Skuttle Replacement Filtergood price on replacement filters...exactly what I needed...saved me a trip to local hvac supplier.

Arrived extremely quickly, and well packaged. Unlike the Skuttle brand that I ususally buy, this after market brand:

1. Comes with the foam adhesive gasketing strips already applied (generally an irritating job to do on the Skuttles).

2. Is gasketed on ALL FOUR SIDES, not just the top and bottom like a Skuttle.

I don't know how to rate the filter media, but the productr seems well constructed and a little sturdier than the Skuttle, which sometimes folds during installation. I suspect that the media is likewise good quality.

I plan to buy this next time.

Great filters at a great price! Fast shipping, will definitely buy again. I would recommend to anyone needing Skuttle replacement filters!

Skuttle 000-1317-091 Wick For 2000,2001 & 2002

Skuttle 000-1317-091 Wick For 2000,2001 & 2002Not a lot I can say except it's exactly as the original wick and that's a good thing. I think there was a minor mixup with the order because the wicks (ordered two) were originally on back order then arrived in two separate shipments of boxes that were much larger than necessary. Both could have easily fit into a regular business envelope. No complaints at all about the product.

SPT SH-1506 Ceramic Heater with Humidifier

SPT SH-1506 Ceramic Heater with HumidifierI received this item only to find that it is only a heater, not a heater and humidifier like is advertised. Be aware of this mistake in the product descriptions if you are thinking of buying this product.

Come on, man! Damn. If I had known it was only a heater and not a humidifier, I'd have chosed one of the other hundreds of gizmos that are only heaters. I got this one specifically because of the humidifier feature. I want my money back!

We live in an old house and use space heaters. We have baby twins and the humidifier option on this heater is a must have. If you want a less dry heat, this is perfect.

I have had this space heater for 4 years now, using it hours a day for the winter months, and it is great. The humidifier function is that the heater will also heat up water to release steam. You have to be careful to make sure that it has water in it, which goes pretty fast. Its great for a small room. I do wish that it had more temperature settings.

Apparently they still have this problem. I had assumed they had fixed it by now. I can't imagine why they haven't. They are sending people the WRONG PRODUCT. I actually didn't mind the different heater they sent so I just kept it. Note it does NOT have a humidifier if that's what you were focusing on.

HoMedics UHE-CM15 Personal Ultrasonic Humidifier

HoMedics UHE-CM15 Personal Ultrasonic Humidifierbought this from a local store. it blows a nice mist that I like but the box said it runs 10 hours. pamplet inside says not to leave house for 6 hours with it running. we slept six to seven hours and it was completely dry.

Just what I wanted...a personal humidifier on my BR nightstand. I used Brita-filtered water. No fuss in cleaning and noiseless.

I had to return it to Homedics as the gasket broke within a week.

I am still waiting for them to send me a replacement.

I like the fact that it is quiet, but wish it were just a bit larger.without going to the really big one.

It's very small and uses a wick. The first one I bought stopped working after a couple of days for no apparent reason. Had to return. The replacement continues to work, but works best when completely filled to keep the wick wet. If it isn't used every day and is allowed to empty, the wick has to be taken out and soaked again to get it going. There's no control for how much mist you get, only on/off. It is big enough to run for about twelve hours.

This product worked for about a week and then stopped. Buy something else. I got safety first from target and it works well.

GSI Quality Handheld Indoor Hygro Thermometer Psychrometer With Instant Accurate °C Or °F Humidit

GSI Quality Handheld Indoor Hygro Thermometer Psychrometer With Instant Accurate °C Or °F Humidity And Temperature Measurements - For Critical Environmental AnalysisI looked into a bunch of different ones and this one was very affordable. I have been using it for hardwood floor installations, because humidity can really be a factor. The readings have been dead on and it has a nice large display, simple to use. Good product!

Ordered this 40 hours before delivery (Excellent time)! Product worked immediately upon inserting the included AAA battery (another + for the included battery). But there is no instruction manual, nor any instructions on the product packaging. F° or C° conversion is a button on the back--simple enough for anyone to figure out. Min/Max and Clear buttons' function becomes clear once you push them a few times. However, the clock started at 12 AM, and so was totally off. I don't intend to use it as a clock, but seeing a digital readout that is completely off-base is irritating. So unless I waited up until midnight and then pulled the battery and started over, I was going to have to look for an instruction manual. Apparently I can't ask Amazon for a manual for this, so I then did a Google search for "GSI" and "Hygrometer", where I found as the 3rd hit a "Fixya" page for trouble shooting GSI hygrometers. That led me to a trouble-shooting site. I found a manual, opened up the .pdf and found instructions for a much more expensive model, (Radio Shack # 63-1090), which had instructions on setting the time. So, I set the time. If you push the buttons on the front, at one point an alarm bell appears, but since there are no instructions, absolutely no way to figure out how to use that. (Not that I ever intend to use it as an alarm, but irritating nonetheless.)

The temperature appears to track with other thermometers in the house. Humidity reading accuracy is not determined, but is currently reading 40% in one room by the humidifier and 35% in another room in a Minnesota house using forced air heating, so this reading is probably close. (The the only hygrometers I have here have been stuck for some years at 70% and 50%.)

I bought this one year ago and the battery is still good however the unit has completely died. If you want to replace one every year buy this...I think it did have an accurate humidity reading. However I am looking for one that will last longer, especially for this much money!

Holmes HWF100-UC3 Humidifier Replacement Filter, Set of 3

Holmes HWF100-UC3 Humidifier Replacement Filter, Set of 3{NOTE: the Holmes HWF100 and Bionaire BWF100 are interchangeable}

I bought a bionaire humidifier that uses 2 of these wicks. They're a necessary evil, because the humidifer wont work without them.

My humidifier (a Bionaire BCM645) is basically a glorified self-refilling water bowl, with a pair of wicks dangling down into the water in the lower backside of the unit ... the wicks absorb water upwards, and the humidifier (basically a vertical tube with an exhause fan up up equipped with a humidistat) draws airflow in crosswise through the body of the wicks down below in order to blow humidified air out the top ... it's a simple design that sorta works.

The problem is that mineral deposits build up in these glorified (and overpriced) sponges, and they lose their ability to wick water upwards fast enough to keep up with the rate of evaporation ... the result is that they become dried out and crusty (and slowly stained with mildew), and only stay wet on the part that's dipped in the water.

Now, here's the annoying part, and why I only gave this product 3 of 5 stars ... they're needlessly fragile by design. The manufacturer WANTS you to keep reguloarly buying replacement sponges, just like inkjet printer manufacturers want to keep selling you overpriced ink cartridges. Even though I have fairly soft water, and use a carbon block filter, these wicks only seem to last me about 2 weeks per pair, by default, before they lose their ability to absorb/wick moisture and/or fall apart. Perhaps someday someone will make longer-lasting reuseable cloth replacement filters, but as of this writing, there dont appear to be any available ... because it's against the manufacturer's fiscal interests to make and sell such.

You can save money 2 ways:

1) SHOP AROUND: you can save as much as 50% by shopping around for the cheapest supplier, and scoffing at any implied manufacturer product loyalty. How ? The replacement filters for Holmes (HWF100) and Bionaire (BWF100) are functionally identical and interchangeable. They come 6 to a package (3 pairs).

2) RINSING: These wicks are rather fragile resist the urge to wring them out when rinsing them, or you'll damage them. Instead, fill a sink with body-temperature water, let them soak for 5-10 mins (to let the deposits soften & par-dissolve), then gently press them flat (while submerged) a few times. Then drain them (dont wring them) and reinstall. That should extend their performance by another week or so. Each subsequent rinse will yeild only half the benefit though. At best, you'll be able to double their lifespan.

Bottom line: I dont really recommend these wicks ... but if your humidifier requires them, there isnt much choice. However, if you use the tips I listed above, you can save up to half the cost, and make them last as much as twice as long.

This was delivered 2 weeks later than promised and it is not the same filter as shown in the photo. It is a cheaper version and did not have the round button attached to the filter like the original has. It had a plastic square that could be attached anywhere but really won't stay put when attached so I just left it off.

Fortunately, just by stuffing the new filter into my machine, it worked Ok. I really hate returning stuff. It is just frustrating when they show a picture and you receive something else.

I have a hard time finding filters for my Sunbeam cool mist humidifier. These are a little long, but when trimmed they work fine. They come 3 to a pack and the unit needs 2 filters at a time, so I buy 2 packages at a time.

Walmart in my area, St. Louis carries the same filter but has Sunbeam package Filter # hwf100 / sf235 for $8.00 for the 3 pack. The package says different Humidifiers that it will fit. Holmes & Sunbeam are 2 of them.

I have had a Holmes tower humidifier for several years and it requires two of the HWF100 filters. This particular model forces air through the bottom at the back and through the filters out the top. I guess like most filters, the top of the filter dries out quicker than the bottom where water is absorbed. To get a longer life from the filters I reverse the filters top to bottom about 2 times per week. This extends the life of the filter about 2 times. Other brand filters don't live up to the quality of the Holmes HWF100. Prices vary so shop around.
