Essick Air Products manufactures and markets the HDC-12 MoistAir humidifier filter. Essick also is a manufacturer of humidifiers. A handfull of Kenmore humidifiers also recommend and use this filter, Kenmore No. 14911. The two part numbers will give you the same filter which is a "paper-pleated type'. Anything other, such as the spongy foam type offered by other manufacturers, is *inferior* in performance. Beware of misleading info fooling you out of the real McCoy. The foam type filters or wicks may be obtained for half the price but require replacement 3 times as often if not more.

These filters are not great by any means, but they do what they are supposed to do. Of course, we've found that it is very important to use the right bacteriostat with the filters. We bought some Sunbeam bacteriostat water treatment for humidifiers at our local Home Depot, and I swear that they just put purified water in the bottle! Once we started buying the Essick Air bacteriostat water treatment, our filters lasted much longer, and didn't get that musty/fishy smell to them.

I too have regrettably bought the honeycomb mesh type filter that is sold as the "replacement" filter for my Essick cabinet humidifier (at the big box hardware stores )which recommends use of the HDC 12 paper filter sold here. The honeycomb mesh ones are worthless. They make the humidifier run all the time and hardly any water goes into the air. They should not even be allowed to be sold. The paper ones like I am buying here work nicely and I found if I use a little Pine Sol type cleaner 1-2 oz per water canister fillup, I do not get the mold in the tanks or on the filters and the water does not get nasty after a humidifying season. It also gives a nice pine smell in the air and is a cheap alternative to bacteriostatic water treatments. I go thru a couple of bottles of Pine Sol generic each winter which I purchase at the dollar store.

Honest reviews on Replacement Moistair Wicking Filter

Took a little while to receive them but they are the real Essick Air filters. I noticed on some other reviews that cheaper filters were substituted (after I had already placed my order) and had made up my mind to send them back if they were not authentic. I was pleased with the results.

This year Sears 14911 and this product are not the same as that of prior years. They are about 1/2" shorter, much lighter paper weight, and most important have plastic ribs down both sides not one. They will not flex and fit in my humidifier.

I have returned them. I strongly suggest you avoid them if you need to curve the filter to fit in your humidifier.
