Product review (4 stars): not totally what I expected
my instruction manual for a essick whole house humifier said this was the model to buy. However, these are not the same as the type I had gotten at Lowe's for it. The originals and replacements from Lowe's had a honney-comb design. These were more of a folded paper kind of design. They do smell also like cardboard to some degree although that got better after a couple of days. I won't buy these again if I can find that original model I got from Lowe's. The honney-comb design appeared to work a LOT better than these. Although if this is all you can find they will do the job.
