Product review (2 stars): you get what you pay for
I am a huge fan of generic products and love a bargain, but these are not nearly as good as the original filters that came with the humidifier. This filter doesnt wick moisture, the top dries out and the bottom gets mildew on it. It is also rather flimsy and folds over in the humidifier because it doesnt have the plastic woven backing like the original filters. Bottom line: Just spend a bit more and buy the name brand filter. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
