Product review (5 stars): Suitable for my Honeywell humidifier and cheaper, too
I was hesitant when I bought this filter since it was not a branded filter.  I have been disappointed with the blue banded Honeywell filter as it would work only for a short time.  After about 10 days or so, water just pooled in the tray and did not get vaporized, turning the water brown and germy even with the special Protect antimicrobial cartridge inserted with a new filter change.  This filter works better and costs half as much.  I got two for less than the full price of one Honeywell brand.  Who needs the air washer (the blue band)?  I just need a filter that works better and longer lasting and this one does the job.
