I 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.

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.

Best Deals for Crane Hs-3161 Drop Shape Humidifier Filter

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

Honest reviews on Crane Hs-3161 Drop Shape Humidifier Filter

I was hesitant to purchase this filter along with my Crane Drop Shape Cool Mist Humidifier (I got the green one) as I read that the humidifier filter was not the correct model; however, when I received them, the humidifier fit perfectly, so amazon must have fixed their previous error. The filter is easy to put in the slot and lasts a good long while. I'm very pleased!

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.
