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

I like that I can adjust the amount of humidity that comes out of the humidifier. The mist comes out of both Pooh's ears. It is easy to fill and the kids love it. Great buy. Oh yeah and it is very very quiet. I barely even know it is on. Would buy again.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bulb needs replacement after @ 2000 hours of use. The bulb needs to be the one designed for the Slant/Fin humidifier, not any old UV bulb. It has a small bead of metal (? mercury) in the bulb that acts as an activator. Once replaced, the small yellow light goes out on the humidifier indicating that it is working. So far, it is working well. The problem is finding it on the internet. Prices range from $13.00 to $24.00

These mineral absorbtion pads really work. Our area in west Texas has water that is very heavy with minerals. These pads really help remove the mineral by absorbing particulates before they stick to the hot surface in the humidifier. Without the pads, we would have to clean the humidifier much more often and it would be more difficult.

Bemis/Essick Air ED11 910 Whole House Console Humidifier Review

Bemis/Essick Air ED11 910 Whole House Console Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had this unit for several years. It has outlasted all "Sears" brands and models.
Secrets to making it work: I use the 1041 wicks. Every two weeks or so, I take it into the bathroom, pull out the wick and using a hand held shower, spray off the wick thoroughly. This helps lower the mineral build-up and the wick lasts longer. Also I change wicks about every two months. So I need about three for the heating season.
Yes the electronic "humidistat" doesn't work. Simple, I set the unit to a higher humidity than what is displayed. When I want to run it, I turn the unit on. When I want it off, I turn it off. And I use a separate humidity gauge. This one works wonderfully:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F0RBI8/
Taylor 1523 Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer and Hygrometer
As for noise, I only run it on the 2, 3 or 4 level. Yes, you can crank it up, but just like any fan, the more you crank it the louder it gets... and I can hear the TV just fine even when this is running...
It's much easier to carry a bucket of water to this unit to fill it up than clumsy bottles to drag out and carry elsewhere.
GREAT humidifier and I've had this one for several years and if I need another one, I'll hope to get another one of these.
Here's another hint. Don't mount it on the wheels that come with and then put the entire unit on a towel or carpeting scrap. Also helps if you spill a bit of water when filling.
Do NOT forget the bacteriastat either, but be careful when using this additive, as always. And yes, it is normal for the wick itself to be about half dry (at the top) and half wet (at the bottom). The entire wick does NOT need to be saturated soaking wet for this to work as the "well" of water is only the few inches at the bottom...

Crane Licensed Filter Cartridge Review

Crane Licensed Filter Cartridge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have the "Hello Kitty" humidifier and I bought this filter in the hopes of reducing the white dust from the humidifier, but all that ended up happening was that the water in the humidifier turned a dingy yellow-brown color and my daughter's room FILLED with white dust. We had to open the windows and turn on the attic fan just to clear it all out. I'm not sure why this happened. I followed the directions on the box (although it's 100% fool proof, all you have to do is place the filter in the base of the unit). We're actually better off without a filter and I'll be returning this for a refund.

What a horrible product! I thought that some of the negative reviews could have been a bad batch of filters. Well, that wasn't the case. I used the filter in the humidifier, rinsed it out before use, and in the morning, the water turned brown. It was awful. Not only was the water brown in the bottom of the humidifier, but the mist was brown too (saw the droplets on the stand). Don't even bother with this product. AWFUL!

Graco Cool Mist 1.5 Gallon Humidifier Review

Graco Cool Mist 1.5 Gallon Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a child growing up, I always had the impeller type humidifiers in which a spinning tube would draw water inside of it and then toss it out in a visible mist. While these could be quite effective, they had the drawback of being loud and soaking everything around them.
When my daughter was born, we got an ultrasonic humidifier. The mist was a little finer, but again, it had the tendency to soak everything around it, and created scale on itself and its surroundings with tap water.
So this time I decided to go with the evaporative type of humidifier. With these, a fan draws moisture out of a wick filter that is then disbursed about the room. These types of humidifiers have the advantage of being self-regulating because evaporation is quicker in a dry room, slower in a moist room. They also trap the minerals and bacteria that may be in the water in the filter instead of spraying them in the room. The disadvantages are that they require costly filters, and you have to treat the water to keep bacteria, mold, and scale from building up on the filter and components. Both of these can be achieved with the addition of a few drops of humidifier treatments that can be found at your local Wal-Mart.
With all this in mind, I did lots of comparison shopping and finally turned to the Graco 1.5 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier. This compact unit appears to be much more durable than other brands at a similar price point, and since its components are dishwasher safe, it is much easier to give it a thorough cleaning. Although the unit could be considered loud, especially on its high setting, the low setting is quite pleasant to me, and provides a nice white noise to counteract background sounds.Most importantly, it does a good job of raising the humidity into comfortable levels during the winter.And with the water appropriately treated, there is NO mold on my filter and minimal mineral deposits.
Note: this is advertised as a "baby" humidifier, but its shape and design fit as well as any other humidifier in any room of your house. We bought two. One for our bedroom, the other for my daughter.

Based on the picture I thought I was buying a Bemis product, but that is not what I received. I received a knockoff humidifier filter by a company called RPS Products BestAir. It may fit, haven't tried it yet, but I'm disgusted that they imply this is a Bemis product and it is not. Won't buy from them again.

We purchased the frog Crane humidifier after having 2 that just wouldn't put out enough mist, we can squeeze this one in the bathroom sink to fill it, it works very well, and is cute too. I would imagine that any that are in that shape would work very well.
After my child started liking Sponge Bob, we decided to buy him the Crane Sponge Bob humidifier. It doesn't put out as much mist as the frog, as you can see in the picture I added under images, and we can't fill this one in the bathroom sink. It's no big deal, because we can use the kitchen sink or the bathtub, but in the middle of the night, if you realize it's out of water, it can be a pain. We still love the Sponge Bob...

Vicks Waterless Vaporizer Review

Vicks Waterless Vaporizer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I was still living in New York, my local pharmacist saw me purchasing this product and asked me if it worked. I explained that it was actually my third purchase. I had accidentally left my other two back in Texas and my son had caught a cold. After hearing my spiel about how it worked, the pharmacist dashed off to set one aside for her kids.
The Vicks Waterless Vaporizer is literally a plug-and-use product. Simply insert a scent pad, plug in the power cord, and choose your intensity setting. It goes from "off" to "III", with the latter being the most intense release of scent. No mess or fuss. At night, it doubles as a pleasant, low level, green nightlight.
The only complaint you may have is that, similar to the rub-on version of Vicks, it can burn the eyes if it is a little too close to someone's face. Otherwise, it clears your nose like magic and lives up to the Vicks reputation.
Oh yeah, I've since added a fourth one to my anti-cold/flu arsenal. My mom seems to be claiming a couple.

Humio Humidifier and Night Light Review

Humio Humidifier and Night Light
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros:
-The machine is very quiet. It gurgles from time to time but is hardly noticeable.
-No filters are needed, thereby saving money and reducing the chance for mold to grow.
-LED nightlight is neither dull or too bright. The change is crisp and ambient without being abrasive.
-The ability to run the humidifier independent of the LED lights.
-After running for 2 days straight there is still absolutely NO dampness on or around the machine from the mist.
-Cool mist makes it safe for children. There is no possibility of being burned.
-Cool mist is also beneficial in the hot weather since it lowers the surrounding temperature.
-The size of it is compact and fits almost anywhere without looking unattractive.
-Top swivels 360 degrees. You don't have to change the position of the machine to change mist direction.
-Able to clearly see the water line.
Cons:
-The necessity of purchasing distilled water. When used with tap water a white "dust" accumulates on the surrounding surface. Gallon jugs of water are under a dollar, but it adds up.
-The tank and base do not lock together, however there are two blue dots that must match up on the outside for it to run. This is fine if you don't plan on having to move it around, but without a locking mechanism they come apart with little effort and enable spilling if not held upright and together. I mention this since kids will naturally want to touch and explore the machine. The water in the tank can not come out without the plunger being pushed down or the cap being off but there is a pool in the bottom half of the machine that can spill.
Overall this is a great product. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with filters or leaking tanks any more.

HU1001With Humio, when used as a humidifier, you can choose between two levels of humidity - high and low. The ultrasonic sound vibrations, created by a metal diaphragm vibrating at an ultrasonic frequency, adjusts to silently release moisture into the air providing quiet operation, optimum convenience and unsurpassed air quality. Humio, when used as a night lamp, can stream through a sequence of colors or be paused to adjust to your favorite shade of red, green, or blue. The embedded LED lights at the base of Humio are designed to provide the proper shade of lighting which soothes and relaxes the senses without generating heat or using excess energy. Additionally, the LED lighting mechanism will flash red when the water tank is empty, alerting you to add water when used simultaneously as a humidifier. Dry and heated air is often the cause of many physical discomforts such as nosebleeds, congested sinuses, dry nose, throat, lips, and itchy skin. Also, when dry air is left untreated it can increase the risk of static electricity, cracked furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and peeling paint or wall paper which ultimately leads to costly household repairs and expensive medical treatments. With Humio you can protect your family and home by improving the air quality one room at a time. Humio is also elegantly designed to offer a soothing and relaxing ambience of shaded colors which softly illuminates and adds style to any room s d cor. Relax and enjoy the soothing lighted effects as HumioTM rotates from shades of red, blue and green. Compared to vaporizers which boil water and release a warm steam making a room feel muggy if overused, Humio releases a cool mist which can be used all day without interruption and discomfort also eliminating the risk of burn to young children. Plus, there are no cumbersome filters to replace which lead to added cost. Features: -360Rotating Mist Outlet A rotating nozzle designed to easily change the direction of the mist. Covers between 8

Okay so this is my third cool mist humidifier. This one is worth its weight in gold! The water lasts several days when on the middle setting, there is no filter, it is easy to clean, and it is silent. I bought this with just one review. I was cautious but the review was glowing, and I have used it for 3 months and love it. You do have to use this on the counter instead of the floor because there is not a high speed fan that will push the air up. You can adjust the beak to any direction and direct the air flow. The reservoir is a little hard to fill but just take off the beak and it will balance in the tub.

Vicks V5100N 1.7 Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We've been very happy with this humidifier. The cool mist is very fine, so it feels more "misty" and less "damp" or "rainy" than some other humidifiers we've tried. The controls over how much or little mist it produces are effective, and it's very quiet. Although this product is a little more expensive than some other types of humidifiers, it's worth it. I know several people whose babies have been burned by warm mist humdifiers, and they also tend to breed bacteria, neither of which is a concern with this product. Also although we originally bought a cheaper humidifier, it turned out not to be as inexpensive as we first thought because we kept having to replace the wick and it quickly broke. This humidifier doesn't have "hidden costs" and is sturdy and well made.
Also if you take off the lid and watch what it does to produce the mist, it's really cool (not a reason to buy the product in itself, but interesting ....)
