Reviews of HONEYWELL/ENVIRACAIRE HAC-504 Replacement Filter Pad

HONEYWELL/ENVIRACAIRE HAC-504 Replacement Filter Pad

Is there anywhere to buy the old filters without the blue wrapping.

I have used Honeywell Humidifiers for many years and never had the smell / mold problem you do with these filters, they are downright unhealthy.

I tried to rate these zero stars they are that bad but the system would not let me.

Please go back to the old filters

Bought a bunch of these replacement filters (10, I believe) for my Honeywell 2000 series humidifier.

This "enviracaire" blue wrapping was a new thing for me. HONEYWELL/ENVIRACAIRE HAC-504 Replacement Filter Pad Never seen it before, but figured what the heck, maybe it's new technology & will improve the filter's capability.

WRONG!!

My experience has been just the opposite. 1) It doesn't last as long, working only 2-4 weeks before it's efficacy diminishes, whereas the 'older' filters with the plastic/wire mesh would easily last 3-4 months, sometimes longer depending on use. 2) Using the old filters, I would often take them out after some heavy use, clean them, and descale them before continuing to use them. Only after months of use & hard build-up would they lose their efffectiveness & need to be changed. With these "enviracaire" filters the build up isn't heavy at all, it maybe something else (see #5 below), they just lose their effectiveness very quickly.

3) I've been using humidifiers for nearly 9 years. I have a wine cellar & walk-in humidor, and for those of you who partake in those hobbies, you know how important it is to maintain proper storage conditions. So you might say that, yes, I do have experience in the use of humidifiers and environmental control. 4) I bought my last batch of (these) replacement filters from KAZ. When I began using the filters & encountering problems I contacted kaz to complain. Well, the customer service person who contacted me proceeded to tell me how it must be MY HUMIDIFIER that's not working properly as the filters work fine in hers! RIGHT!!!!! Does she use hers as extensively as I use mine?! I've been using the current humidifier(s) for three years with no prior problems to this!!!

MORE . . .

5) Now here's the worse part, IMO. WHAT'S WITH THE FILMY/MOLDY STUFF THAT BUILDS UP?! When I began using these "enviracaire" filters, I began seeing a filmy, moldy build up in my humidifier's water system. Even after I thoroughly clean the filter housing & install a new filter, at about the 2-4 week mark (when the filter's efficacy starts to diminidsh), the unit gets this filmy/moldy build-up in the filter housing compartment and in the water (but it doesn't get into the tank). Whether I use a few drops of a bacteriostatic or descaling in the water tank or not doesn't make a difference. Never seen that before, never seen it with the older filter types!! This filmy stuff may be the reason for the decreased function of the filetr, at least that's what I suspect.

So! Should you buy this filer?

You decide. Personally, I think that the manufacturer needs to know about these problems and take care of them.

As for me, I'm trying desperately to find the older style filters that had a wire-like/plastic outer mesh. Honeywell HAC504 Replacement Humidifier Filter They seemed to work just fine!!

I've noticed a bad smell when I use these filters after only a few days use. The old ones without the blue air purifier didn't smell like this. I will not use these again even if I have to buy a new humidifier when I can't find the old HAC-504 filters.

This replacement filter suddenly began to emit a really foul odor. I soaked it for ten minutes as per the instructions but when I put it back in, the odor came back and my eyes started to burn. I realized I had to throw the thing out, which means I have no humidifier while the air is now very humid. Meanwhile I had to open the windows, with the temperature about 10 degrees outside, to get rid of the pungent odor and the sensation in my eyes still not gone, several hours later. They need to re-do this filter, it is a Zero.

Vornado HU1-0012-11 Standard 2.8 Gallon Vortex Humidifier Review

Vornado HU1-0012-11 Standard 2.8 Gallon Vortex Humidifier
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
I've come to trust the Vornado brand, so I had no qualms about purchasing this humidifier. I generally keep it on the "low" setting and it is more than adequate for humidifying my bedroom. However, as others have noted when water is being fed into the main unit, it is loud. I can't say I've been woken up by it, but more than once I've been laying (awake) in bed and have been startled by it. The cat has become accustomed to it though. The filters do start turning brown relatively quickly, but I've not had any problems continuing to use them. The manual suggests you empty everything out if you're not going to use the humidifier for 12 hours, but I only use it at night and am too lazy to empty it out every single morning. Initially I was also concerned that the construction seemed a little flimsy, but I haven't had any problems. I would make sure to put it somewhere where it won't get bumped into though. Despite the "quirks", I would still recommend this product.

We have tried just about every style and brand of humidifier, trying to find one that is NOT a giant hassle to maintain and is quiet enough that it doesn't keep me awake all night. To make a long story short, the Vortex evaporative humidifiers are the best. They are perfect for the humidity boost we need in winter.

The highest speed does sound like a small box fan, but we just turn the fan speed to the "low" setting at night, which makes it virtually silent. The Vortex does make a "glug" sound (3-6 glugs in a row, in my experience) when water from the bottle(s) periodically discharges (a couple times each night?) into the bottom of the unit. However, I found that my husband and I quickly got used to this. I can tolerate and sleep through this sound MUCH better than the continuous and louder giant-pot-of-boiling-pasta noise made by other humidifiers.

No doubt, how much cleaning and wick replacement you need to do depends on your water quality. I'm on municipal water, which I assume is about average, and my wicks last for at least 2 months of continuous operation. I occasionally use the wick life extension method of soaking them in water with 2 tsp of vinegar, but I don't think it helps all that much. The filters are easy to find and not terribly expensive. There is no complicated disassembly involved to clean the unit and change the wicks, since you just lift off the top and wipe out the base. I do this once a season, no problems. The accumulation of mineral deposits that need to be scraped and scrubbed off is WAY LESS than we had with any of the other humidifiers we tried. That is, we have NO scraping and scrubbing whatsoever with these units.

Trying to find a solution, we went so far as to have a built-in humidifier installed with our HVAC system (forced air). That system boosted the humidity 2% max, wasted water, and had an expensive filter/wick that was painful to change. Just TWO strategically placed Vortex humidifiers do an excellent job of humidifying for less money and hassle. We've had the built-in system deactivated for years now, relying only on the Vortexes ... or "Vortices", if you are a nerd such as myself. (-:

Best Deals for Vornado HU1-0012-11 Standard 2.8 Gallon Vortex Humidifier

Pros:

If you want to humidify a small to medium-sized room quietly and efficiently this is definitely the humidifier for you! I have owned other brands of humidifiers that are as loud or louder on their low speeds then the Vornado is at high speed. I found there to be No Loud Gurgling Sound from this humidifier when filling itself from the water tank. With the fan set on medium you can barley hear it & it does a fantastic job of maintaining a very comfotable humidity level.

Cons:

Removing the water tank from the humidifier is a bit awkward. Instead of placing a handle at the top of the tank (which would be easy to grab) the manufacturer opted to only put a slight bump there. You have to be careful carrying & then loading the water tank into the humidifier if it is filled to capacity; or else you might spill water all over the place. The control knob is hard to grab & turn. Anyone that has difficulty using their hands will find this feature very hard to deal with.

Over all the humidifier does what it is meant to do very well & very quietly. The problems are design flaws that Vornado can easily fix on future models if they so choose to do. I would not hesitate to recommend this humidifier to other people. Filter life is about 60 days.

Honest reviews on Vornado HU1-0012-11 Standard 2.8 Gallon Vortex Humidifier

Okay, this humidifier is good as all previous reviewer said. But one thing is deceptive about this humidifier. Manufacture claim that filter will sustain its use during 60 to 90 days. How come? I had my filter for 15 days and it begin to smell a little. Of course, you can use some water treatment solutions with your water and I guess this will prolong life of your humidifier to say 25 days. But I wouldn't imagine it last for more than 30 days. Of course, everyone has different water in their home, but it seems to me Manufacture used totally distilled without any impurities or mineral content water, in order, to claim one filter to work for a such long time. One more thing, if your house have some smells, they will somewhat diminish, but your filter will be smelling funny faster than usual. So, I think, in one sense, this filter acts as a cleaner of your surrounding air as well. In any case, I bought two of them (humidifiers) some extra filters and I am happy with it.

We found the gurgling sound of the air going into the tank to be noticeable while we slept, but our brains learned to "tune out" that sound, as it does with all other sounds normal to one's environment. The fan is virtually noiseless, as this is the trademark of Vornado fans. Very simple and clean design.

Review of IMAGE® 110V Digital Air Humidity Control Controller WH8040 Range

This little device seems to work very well. It is smaller than I had imagined it to be. It does exactly what it says it does and is configurable so that you can set a certain rH as well as a range that it can fall to (or rise to) before the relay kicks on. This helps to keep the relay from kicking on and off every few seconds. It also has a delay feature that would accomplish the same thing I assume, but I have not tried it. It seems accurate, maybe 3 or 4% below my cheap digital hygrometer, but it is calibratable +-5%. It can be set to humidify or dehumidify.

The only difficult thing is hooking it up; you need a 110v power cord hooked into the rear screw terminals to power it. To hook up a device your best bet is to make a small enclosure and put an electrical outlet and the humidistat into it, wire the white wire of a power cable to the outlet and the black wire to one side of the relay terminal then the other side of the relay to the outlet. This is assuming that you are using an appliance with a standard 110v appliance.

I use this for mycology but it would work well for terrariums or attics/crawlspaces too.

The filters are what they are, no problems there. Where I am disappointed is in the seller. The items arrived lose in a box, no packaging, wrapping, nothing but the packing slip. I felt a bit mislead by the description of it being a 2 pack (thought that might mean they were packaged). More than that, I'm disappointed in the shipping rate I was charged.

I've had my trusty humidor for a while and thought it was time for an upgrade so I shopped around and considered my options. I had finally choose this product! It is a great crystal humidifier which is a big upgrade from the original sponge. It keeps a constant humidity of 70% with the Xikar Solution which is needed. A paper warns not to use 50/50 solutions but Xikars own solution. Truly the Xikar solution offers a more stable humidity levels over time while the 50/50 solution will fluctuate more and might gum up the humidifier. Xikar says their solution evaporates evenly for a more balanced level of humidity without the rapid fluctuations of the 50/50 solutions. So to be on the safeside I would recommend you purchase the Xikar Solution. The humidifier is clear so you know visibly when to refill with solution as you can see the crystals have shrank and shriveled. They swell up when refilled and disperse the solution over time! It will be months before you need to refill!

All in All, it's a great product and highly recommended 10/10

At the end of last winter the motor in our Aprilaire started making an awful noise so we just turned it off. When I had my fall furnace maintenance done the technician said he tried to lubricate the old motor but it was shot--new humidifier required. Possible cost--around $400 for a new unit and add on installation. Okay that's high but that would be a great new unit and this furnace company is awesome. Yes, he did mention getting a new motor. So i set off to find a replacement motor, and thank goodness for Amazon! Ordered the motor which was delivered oh so quickly. I took the unit off and partially apart and my husband completed the removal task and completely cleaned the unit. Installed the new motor on the humidifier unit, plugged it in and started it up and works great. If this thing gives me another year or two it more than pays for itself!

If you have some basic skills and know how to surf the internet for good advice/instructions (yes, some are supplied) order this unit (under $100) and replace it yourself. Thanks Amazon for selling arcane parts like this. I love Amazon!!!!!!

UPDATE: 5/30/13

This mattress is still AHHH-MAZING!! I say this because it has retained it's shape and form beautifully and if baby's diaper leaks overnight (and they will as they get bigger!) you can easily clean the mess. We use a waterproof mattress pad, but still, when everything is in the wash, I still give it a good wipe down. Baby loves it and she's 20 months now. One thing i really appreciate about it and you may not care about this, but since there are no springs, she has never had the urge to try and jump up and down on it and escape the crib.

Also, some of you have asked about the size of the mattress and it is at least average crib mattress size, if not longer. I am paranoid by design and I never had one unsafe thought or experience with this mattress. I suppose if you are using an older crib or a HUGE one, you may have minor issues, but we use a solid wood crib to full size bed convertible type ($$!...don't even get me started on the cost of a good heirloom crib!), and nada...no problems.

Feel free to contact me here with any questions. I was happy to see that so many people enjoyed my original review and I am more than happy to answer any questionsbig or smallthat you may have. I love this mattress more now then I did nearly two years ago and I am super finicky. For the price, you simply can't lose.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I ordered this mattress 2 days ago and it was on my doorstep this afternoon. I have to say that I am floored by the quality. This is for our second daughter (on her way) and our oldest used a mattress 2x this price and when I compared them side by side, I was blown away.

Here's why:

1. It's a dense, high quality memory foam with a waterproof cover on it (removable)

2. Contrary to what other reviewers say, it's big; as a matter of fact, it's a good 1.5" longer than our brand name more expensive mattress that pales in comparison. The old one is like sitting on a series of crunchy springs and the new one is like sitting on a tempur-pedic with a non-crunchy waterproof cover.

I did a lot of anal retentive research in this purchase and am shocked that this is the real price for this mattress. Don't hesitate on this one. It feels and looks very high end. You'll be glad I did all the psychotic research for you in advance.

I think this mattress is a great value! The foam is nice and firm, but its very light which is great for changing the crib bedding, the cover is waterproof which is great, and it even has a zipper if for some reason there is ever a reason that you would need to remove the cover. When i opened it there were no weird odors or plastic-type smells which was a relief. I also noticed the tag on mine says its made in Canada which is nice to know. Im really happy with this purchase and i would recommend this mattress to anyone that wants a perfectly fine crib mattress for less money :)

i was skeptical when i ordered this. thought it might be chinsy because of the price, but it's a really nice mattress. very firm, i was checking out mattresses at target and burlington and the very firm ones were running $70-$80. i would buy this again if i ever need a crib mattress again.

Honest reviews on Safety 1st Heavenly Dreams White Crib Mattress

I bought this after reading nearly all of the reviews. Most are very favorable, but there were a couple that had me concerned. Since there were mostly really good reviews, I decided to risk it.

Since most product descriptions do not list where the product is manufactured, the review mentioning that it was made in Canada was helpful to me and I am pleased about this since I am wary of plastic products made in certain countries. I was also happy that the mattress I received was manufactured just 2 months prior to my receiving it. Not sure why that is such a good thing, but I guess I like that it has not been sitting in a funky warehouse for months or years.

To address some negative reviews: A couple said this mattress is far too soft and I would like to assure you that this is not the case as it is extremely firm. Perhaps those buyers got a lemon or would prefer their infant sleep on a slab of concrete. Firmness is definitely suitable for infants.

The other review I was concerned about stated that their crib sheets did not fit this mattress, so that had me a little worried. Fortunately, mine fit like a dream and so does my crib pad.

A couple reviews said the mattress didnt fit their cribs perfectly and I am pleased to report that it fits my Babi Italia standard size convertible crib absolutely perfectly with no spaces whatsoever.

After purchasing this, I noticed that it has been a baby best seller on amazon for over 800 days! I can see why.

I am exteremly happy that I bought this and recommend it to you. Of course I want nothing but the best for my baby, and in this case, I found a wonderful mattress for him at a fraction of the cost of other comparable ones.

It took many calls to Danby just to finally get a human being instead of a machine. The man told me Danby couldn't help us as the 1 year warranty had run out. We paid $242 for this piece of junk. We won't ever buy a Danby product again.

Read reviews and purchased anyway. Big mistake. this unit leaks everything it takes out of the air. Can not see any reason to turn on . It will ruin your floor, it does more harm then good.

After trying another comany months ago to get one of these, i tried Amazon. The unit came in packaged very well. After removing it from the packaging i found a few impefections in the finishing along the bottom cove. Looks like the finish cracked. Probably from being set down too hard on its bottom. I say that because the compressor is mounted on a brace and that brace dad a spot weld break and the metal brace is sagging in the middle. I was concerned that it may not work. Unfortunatedly, i probably wont know for some time as it is cold in the northeast and that wont kick on until it gets hot. The heater and all other functions are working well. It is a little difficult to add water to the reservoir, but it can be done. The unit has good workmanship and the cedar components smell great. Drawers work well, gless door seals very well and my cigar collection is now at a stable temperature and humidity. The controls are simple and easy to use. The inside light casts a nice blue hue in the upper half. So far it is what i needed. I would recommend this to anyone who is willing to pay a premium for this type of humidor. I paid for expedited shipping, but it came a few days later than expected. Overall, a very functional and nice looking unit.
