Each filter is wrapped in plastic shrink wrap only and they are not identified as a Honeywell product. They appear to be an after-market item being sold as OEM.

Also, the filters came with minimal packaging protection and the corners are slightly damaged but still usable.

Hi there,

We ordered a filter for our central ac. It arrived quickly and everything works just fine. All in all, we saved about a million dollars. Haha

Really, it was an equitable deal which saved us both time and cash.

Could not find this particular filter for our humidifier anywhere in town for anything less than double the cost on Amazon. It was a big long in coming but well worth the wait and if works beautifully.

If I wrote a review the week I got this wick, I would have written that it was a fine OEM replacement wick and given it a all the stars that went along with that. But a few months later, this is not the case.

It turns out that these are low quality humidifier wicks that disintegrated into goo within two months. The whole thing didn't disintegrate, but large patches of it turned to goo -like dissolved paper or whatever the pad is really made out of. The OEM wick worked for almost two years in the same spot in the same house at the same humidifier settings before mineral buildup diminished the humidifier output.

Additionally, these wicks did not fit into the lasko humidifier they were sold for. They are about half an inch out of size in each dimension. If you get them wet, they soften up and can be worked into the wick holder, but they still don't fit well.

Honest reviews on Lasko CHF50 Humidifier Filter

After getting the humidifier out for another winter season, I discovered the filter/wick in my Lasco 1050 was one of THE WORST i've ever seen. Cat hair, dust and everything else including a ton of nicotine buildup. I went to Amazon.com to try and find a new filter for this humidifier. Did'nt take long at all, I ran upon a couple of dealers right away. They advertised the Lasco CHF50 to fit my machine. Being the condition of my old filter, I bought online. I received the new filter in their timely manner, on time. They packaged the new filter in a large box with air cushions, to protect the product also during shipping. I paid a little more for this filter than the other store had advertised, but the whole process went so smooth. This certain filter also fits other models of Lasco humidifiers. One other thing is that this new filter fits my machine perfectly. All recommondations here. 2 thumbs up. Great product, great humidifier.So, while I was out shopping at Amazon I decided to also purchase a Hunter air purifier, model 30378 for rooms up to 21x19 foot. I recieved this via UPS also as scheduled. I'm running them both at the same time, 24/7, and loving it. With winter being here, all windows closed for the season, I'm very please with what I now call my new air purification system. Really, it's working so efficiently.

No fault of the filter, but our humidifier quit working shortly after we got the new filter, so I don't really have a good review of the filter.

Review of Art Deco - 60 Cigars Humidor

Customer Ratings:

I recently stopped smoking cigarettes and switched to smoking cigars on occasion. So I ordered this humidor to house my modest collection of stogies. It came in perfect condition and I was pleasantly surprised by its excellent build quality, which is definitely worth the asking price in my opinion.

I went through the trouble of calibrating the included hygrometer only to discover that it was unnecessary since it came perfectly calibrated out of the box. Another pleasant surprise!

It's also one of the very few humidors that are under-reporting their capacities. For a 60-cigar humidor I have it housing 15 short Churchill-sized cigars, 60 coronas, and about a dozen or so petit coronas. So far it's maintaining a relative humidity between 66 and 72, which is slightly less than ideal. But I think it would be easy to stabilize it using some humidifier gel or a better humidifier unit.

I have to take one star off because it came with no instructions whatsoever. It's nothing that a little googling won't solve. But still, even a single sheet of usage instructions would have been helpful.

But I'm still liking so much that I'm considering getting its younger bother, The Art Deco 30 Cigars Humidor.

I gave this Art Deco Humidor to my husband as a Christmas gift and he love's it! It not only has a good amount of storage for his cigars but it's a piece of art that he's proud of. This is he second humidor, this one being the largest capacity and he's already gotten it prepped and regulated.

Reviews of DeLonghi DE400P Energy-Star 40-Pint Dehumidifier with Pump

Customer Ratings:

New, out of the box, I turned this dehumidifier on and what a noise it made.

I removed the cabinet from around the unit and found that the fan blades were striking the top of the compreser. Because the threads of two of the three bolts that hold the compresser in place were stripped and the nuts could not be tightened down on those bolts thus the compresser leaned over to get itself under the fan blades. I added washers to the bolts so that the nuts didn't have as far to go to tighten and re-applied the nuts which pulled the compresser upright and now the fan blades don't hit. The person who installed those compresser nuts had to know they had stripped the bolts but sent it out to the customer anyway.

Now, two days later and the pump doesn't pump.

I've written DeLonghi telling them that I will ship the unit at my expense to either DeLonghi or Amazon, their choice but that I wanted my money back.

I'll keep you posted.

Despite the negative review of this product, I decided to try it since it had all the features I was looking for. Especially the pump. I bought this for my Mom who recently moved and the basement was damp and smelly. The previous owner left a Sears dehumidifier but it did not remove a drop of water from the air. I had an old Edison one that I lent my Mom. It worked fine but if you didn't put the bucket in the exact proper position, it would overflow. Since my Mom is a senior citizen, I wanted one that would automatically pump the water into the utility sink she had in the basement. So, this Delonghi met this important criteria to me.

After about three weeks of use, I have nothing but praise for this product. It is very quiet and has a long hose. It can pump the water up to ten feet high and it does this magnificently. You can also program it and adjust the amount of humidity you want to remove.

The basement no longer smells and you can set this dehumidifier up and forget about it. It removes a lot of water within a short period of time (depending on the humidity level you set it for and the amount in the air) and then shuts off when it reaches the setting. Since we got it we have not had to even concern ourselves with it at all. There was absolutely no problem setting it up. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Best Deals for DeLonghi DE400P Energy-Star 40-Pint Dehumidifier with Pump

I originally bought this unit because it claimed to be quiet. Quiet doesn't matter if it doesn't work. The first unit ran for 2 days and collected only a cup of water, while my older unit on the other side of the basement fills in 3 days. The second unit keeps freezing up. It would blow out super hot air and the humidistat would display an unusually high %; when you turn it off, the coils would melt and drip water. The box claims that it has a self deice cycle, but it did not work. The box also claims it's good for basements because it can work at temps as low as 50deg. Their tech support said that at 70deg. you need to set it to 50% or higher or it will freeze, and the deice cycle can not be relied upon. My basement smells pretty bad at 45% and higher. My new Frigidair works great.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi DE400P Energy-Star 40-Pint Dehumidifier with Pump

Bought this unit 2 years ago. Pump died after 2 months. Brought it to a certified repair center. It took the company 8 months to figure out that they can't send the repair center a pump, so about 3 months ago, they finally sent me a brand new unit, and yesterday, the pump died again on the new unit. Stay away from this dehumidifier. The pump stinks. Oh, and this new unit leaks as much water as it sucks from the air. Stay away. The pump was a good idea but, if it doesn't work, then whats the point? STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT

I paid over $300 for the DE 400P. It worked OK for about 8 months then the pump stopped working. The only reason I was willing to pay so much was for the pump. Delonghi service people have been NO help and argumentative. They tell me I must ship it to NY for them to repair. The packaging and shipping costs alone make this prohibitive. I asked to speak with a manager and got voice mail. I left a message 3 weeks ago and did not get any return call. I called back today and again got the managers voice mail.

As far as I am concerned I have never purchased a product that was so poorly supported by the manufacturer. I will never purchase another Delonghi product of any kind. And I suggest you consider where the repair centers are before you purchase one.

Cheap Hunter 31009 Microban Ultrasonic Small Room Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

We purchased this humidifier after receiving a different unit from Amazon a few weeks earlier. My daughters liked it so much I decided to get another one for my son's room. Unfortunately the same model wasn't available so we went with this model from Hunter.

Pros: The Hunter model has a larger water tank and variable humidification setting. At a mid-line setting we get two nights out of one tank of water.

Cons: Unlike the smaller/cheaper unit we purchased a few weeks earlier the Hunter unit has no means of using any type of aromatherapy with the mist to help when the kids have breathing troubles (stuffy noses, chest congestion). It also does not have a night-light feature like some others. This may not be a con for most.

The Hunter unit is quiet and works well. Compared to any local stores the price from Amazon was fantastic and makes this well worth the purchase price.

We wanted a small humidifier for our bedroom, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Since it is ultrasonic, it is extremely quiet. It is small, but the tank holds enough water to humidify for at least two nights. It really makes the difference to prevent sore, dry throats to have this running every night!

I purchased this humidifier for the master bedroom of our home. The winters can wreak havoc on our sinuses & dry our skin our. This mighty machine puts out a considerable amount of moisture & I only have it set on the lowest possible setting right now. It puts out the right amount of moisture to make the room comfortable. The tank is smaller than the other humidifiers that I currently have in the house, but I still only have to fill the tank about every 2 days. Would highly recommend this product. I love that there in not a filter to clean.

Honest reviews on Hunter 31009 Microban Ultrasonic Small Room Humidifier

This humidifier gets water EVERYWHERE!!!!! My carpet was completely soaked after the first time I used it. I checked for leaks, and found none. It's just from the mist itself!!!! I had it turned on medium the first night, so I lowered it the next night, same result. Then, less than a week after I started using it, the red light was coming on indicating an empty tank. It was clearly over halfway full! I read the owner's manual before I ever used it. It's supposed to be very simple. Too bad it doesn't work properly. I'm returning it.

Best Aroma Atomizer Air Humidifier LED Ultrasonic Purifier Diffuser Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this to use with essential oils, and it got decent reviews. BUT it says on the outside of the box to only use FEA aroma solution and NOT essential oils or you might damage the machine. That's not mentioned in the product description. I'm curious if anyone has had success with essential oils. I am using Eden's Garden essential oils in it right now with good results. I'm using about 25 drops per cycle, and it works great in my living room. I hope the machine lasts. I don't see how the oils could cause damage. I'll update if I have any problems. UPDATED 8/13 essential oils work great. No problems so far. I did need to rinse it once or twice, but I love the settings. Great product.

I was all excited to get this and when it finally came, I was extremely disappointed. You can't use your own essential oils in it and unless it's right beside you, you hardly experience any of the humidifier. The LED "on/power" lights are extremely bright, so if you're use to a dark bedroom, you'll need to put something in front of it.

Cheap Aprilaire 700 Automatic Power Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

I purchased the Aprilaire 700 to replace the model 110 that quit working after 15 years. Several reviews said this was a good choice so I thought I'd give it a try.

Everything arrived in one box and the instructions were very clear. Since I was replacing an older power model, the wiring was already done for me but it looked easy enough. I did replace the water supply line which came with the new humidifier and had to cut a larger hole in the plenum and smaller hole in the return air supply for the humidistat.

In all, it took me about 2 hours to cut and fit the new one in. I did't use the outdoor temp. sensor because I prefer to use a manual setting. The unit has been operating flawlessly for a couple of months and the humidity in my house has risen to where it's much more comfortable. I'd recommend this unit.

We had an Aprilaire 700 system installed professionally, but the solenoid broke after two years. (the solenoid controls the water flow from your plumbing into the unit). This is the most powerful system Aprilaire makes, and was recommended for our house by the ARS professionals that installed it. The system never got our humidity over 30%, but in fact we have hardwood floors in about 1/6 of our house and lots of wood furniture, and about 3500 sq ft of floor space. The unit seems better suited for houses without much wood (floors and/or furniture) and certainly less than 3500 sq ft. Suitability aside, I'm not happy the solenoid, which is over $200 to replace/install, broke after less than two years. Unfortunately, we got only 1 year parts/labor on the unit.

We purchased the 700 in 2004 and it has been nothing but a headache for us. The first two years the water panel wouldn't stay wet. The installer blamed it on the saddle attachement to the water pipe. He came out and cleaned the saddle and claimed it worked but we never had anything but dry air. About 2007 we had someone come out and tell us the panel holder doesn't distribute the water well and they came out with a new version that has fabric in it. Bought that and it helped for a year and the fabric came loose and had to buy another. (in addition to replacing the panel each season). Finally last year we had someone install a real valve to replace the saddle. Then this unit started pouring water all over the floor. Apparently the low-flowing saddle was masking other problems. Some low-flow, inlined device was broken. (read $.01 piece of plastic) I ordered a new hose for it and put it in. The new hose was so stiff that part of it broke on trying to install it. Duct tape helped hold it in place. Turn on the water and NOTHING... back to no water again and a dry panel = dry house. Generally this unit has me running to the furnace room every day since we owned it. It has never worked right despite having 3 different companies come out to service it. The general features of this thing that I don't like are:

water panel: I just don't believe that this puts as much water in the air as one could

fan: The fan is outside of the duct work blowing unconditioned air into the duct which is supposed to deliver humid air to the system. But I feel more air coming out than going in and isn't it reducing the heat in the duct by inserting cold basement air?

vent: The vent on this thing is a giant hole in the summer. The unit is off in the summer and the cold air just blows out. One may suggest that I leave this thing on all year and just turn off the water... that would help but the way these are wired is to turn on only when heat is asked for. We keep our house fan on all the time to balance the system and the 700 only comes on when heat is generated. So even in the winter, conditioned air is escaping through this unit.

water delivery: The pipe it goes through is entirely proned for error and anyone with harder water than us will suffer tremendously.

This is probably the worst house purchase we have made since 1998.

Honest reviews on Aprilaire 700 Automatic Power Humidifier

Good quality humidifer but requires a 120 VAC outlet so be prepared. Took a few minutes to understand exactly how the rear housing frame mates to the duct opening. Must install the humdifier controller in the return duct upstream from the fresh air intake which required rerouting my fresh air intake. Also installed the Aprilaire Model 8570 Thermostat using a separate 24 VAC transformer. My furnance could not supply enough current from it's 24 VAC humidifier accessory terminal to run the humidifier. Aprilaire recommends not using the accessory terminal when installing the Model 8570 Thermostat so I already purchased the 24 VAC transformer. Pleased with both the 8570 Thermostat and Model 700 Humidifer. Like the ability to monitor outdoor temperature and humidity from the thermostat, and automatically control humidifier operation based on outdoor temperature because I have wooden casement windows. You will need some skills to install this unit.

I got the automatic version of this for $229 w/shipping on another site. It took me an afternoon to install and so far works great. When I turned it on the relative humidity in my house was 25%, this morning I woke up to an "ideal" (given the outside temperature) level of 35%. One thing to consider though when choosing a humidifier is whether your furnace is over-sized for your house. If that is the case then the furnace will not run frequent enough for the humidifier to work (my furnace is pretty much perfectly sized for my home), in which case one of the newer steam units might be a better bet (or you could try hooking this one up to your hot water supply instead of the cold water).

One quick tip with installing it. The temperature sensor can actually be mounted inside the air intake pipe of your furnace (assuming you have a newish direct-vent model). You do need to mount it as close to the outside wall as possible to get an accurate reading but, by drilling a small hole in the pvc pipe and sticking the thermometer in it, you save yourself from having to drill a hole through the outside of your home.
