Product review (1 stars): AVOID - Inferior Quality - Not Same as Original Filter
These are not the same as the original filter that came with the humidifier. The original had a blue fabric exterior that acted as an additional filtration layer. The new filters are inferior. They do not absorb water as well and collapse inward and take on a square shape. My humidifier is running approximately two times longer than normal. There's some odd orange color blooming on the filter exterior. So much for the Protec Antimicrobially Treatment. Never saw anything like that on the original filters. I'm going to contact Honeywell for a refund. Then I'll find a replacement filter that has better structure and absorption.

These Exact Fit Parts replacement are better than the original Honeywill filters! They have a white fabric exterior layer to act as dust filter, and a rigid metal layer to keep the filter shape and prevent it from imploding. These filters stay moist as they should and keep dust out of the filter element. The metal grid maintains the structure of the filter. These work better than the original Honeywell filters. I'm able to maintain the desired humidity level in my home with less run time on the humidifier. ----->> The Exact Fit Parts replacements stay moist and maintain their structure even under extremely low humidity levels.
