Product review (1 stars): Very poor quality and performance of these 14906 filters
This comment is exactly as I stated in the Amazon survey for satisfaction with the vendor for this item purchased.  "This is the absolute worst Humidifier Wick Filter I have ever purchased for my humidifiers.  Price is the same as I would pay directly from Sears but I purchased two of these replacement filters the same time I purchased four of the 14906 filters for the other two humidifiers I have in the upstairs of the home.  When I first installed the filter, it wasn't stiff enough to stand up for me to put the fan-hood back over it.  When first started, the humidifier signals "change filter" and has never gone off.  It must be wicking because after two weeks of running, I have finally gotten the humidity up to 36 % when I have it set for 45%.  I haven't bothered to contact the seller as I had purchased them previous purchases that were not satisfactory and only was told they would credit me for the un-used filters and I paid for shipping."

I have the same comment for the 14906 Wick Filters purchased at the same time about quality of wicking and lasting of the filter.  two of the four filters purchased were installed and had to be changed out in less than two weeks of running as they stopped wicking the moisture for the fan. It wouldn't humidify above 25% with a setting of 45%.  The tops were brown and once they turn brown, they will no longer wick.

Because of the experiences with these filters the past two years, I am most likely going to change humidifiers because the filters are so costly (the filters are $18-$20 each) and only last a couple of weeks if that.
