Product review (1 stars): Don't be fooled by the feel of it..
The quality is far better than the original. This thing does not feel like it will fall apart when wet.

Update After Some Use:

Now after some time using this I have determined that it is no good. Another item learned in the school of hard knocks.
As I said originally the wick is constructed to be very durable. The down side is durability means nothing if functionality is not present as well. I have noticed that it "DOES NOT WICK" the water into the membrane. To keep it wet one must constantly remove the humidifier cover off of the unit, take a cup of water and pour it over the wick. I was thinking of getting some kind of pump system to circulate water over it but have decided that just is a waste of time. BEST THING TO DO IS BUY THE ORIGINAL TYPE WICK. I wish I could change my rating to 1 star.
