Product review (3 stars): it works like a dream to remove static from the air
I always seem to get a LOT of static electricity every winter and thought I would use a humidifier to reduce the it.  Well, it works like a dream to remove static from the air, but the filters are another story.  I got this humidifier from someone (it was new and hardly used) so at first, I liked these filters but then 1 months later I did not like them.  Why?  Because they got moldy very quickly. We live in Southern Nevada - in the DESERT - I NEVER see mold here, EVER!  I am a VERY attentive person and I make sure my products are working properly.  I check the humidifier often (every 2 days or so) and keep it quite clean, always replacing the water on day 2. I clean it often with vinegar and changed the filters as well. I used it for 1 year fumbling with the filters more then every month until it stopped working altogether.  In a nutshell,  I guess it was a cheap product with less than desirable filters.  I will have to find a better humidifier that has better filters because humidifiers really do keep the static in check during the winter.
