Product review (5 stars): Doing the job and lower cost that EOM parts
I bought those filters for my&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Honeywell-HCM-6009-Cool-Moisture-Console-Humidifier/dp/B000G0LDRI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Honeywell HCM-6009 Cool Moisture Console Humidifier</a>. The original HW filter replacement costs 14.98$ at the time of this review (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Honeywell-HC-14V1-Replacement-Wicking-Humidifier-Filter-Filter-E/dp/B000AO1G72/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Honeywell HC-14V1 Replacement Wicking Humidifier Filter, Filter E</a>) for one filter while this did product cost 20.99$ for x2 filters (so a 9$ saving over the cost of 2 x OEM part). How does it perform? Bottom line is that I think it is a great replacement and I do no see a difference in performance.
A few things to remember:
- before use, and because it is pressed flat, wet it and place it in the groove as designed
- once a week, flip it upside down (same recommendation for any filter - it will make the wear even)
- I recommend adding this product (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Holmes-Humidifier-Bacteriostat-H1709PDQ-U/dp/B000BRKYU8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Holmes Humidifier Bacteriostat, H1709PDQ-U</a>) to the water - cheap and goes along way (I still have the bottle I purchased 2 years ago and it is far from being over). This will avoid mold forming and te only thing that will wear your filters is hard water.

The EOM filter lasted forever for me (3 months with proper care as indicated above and it made the winter/dry season). I have been using this for only 2 weeks now but will post later if there is a longevity problem (some customer did tend to indicate problems with the reinforced aluminum mesh oxidizing and/or the filter disintegrating but just like the original part, I have not seen any of this happening yet).
