Product review (5 stars): It's hard to get excited
about a water pad, but am submitting a 5 star rating to say that I did receive the Aprilaire panel.  There are several reviews from folks who received a substitution, but I received the real thing.  A couple years ago, when I first had my humidifier installed on my furnace I thought I had to get the replacement panels from the HVAC who in installed it.  Then I learned that I can order them online for half the price.  I was hesitant to order, because of the negative reviews, but because of the price I gave it a try, and have no complaints.
