Product review (2 stars): Not the same quality as in the past
This is the second winter I've used my humidifier. I love the humidifier, but the wicks this year aren't lasting at all. Last winter (from late November to March), one filter lasted the whole season, and the humidifier ran properly the whole time. This year, the wicks only seem to last at most 3 weeks before I notice the humidiy level in the air dropping, and the water level drops very slowly. When I check the filter, it's not as dirty as it got last winter but is soggy, bent over, and there are little pieces of it in the water. This did not happen last year. At first I thought my water had changed totally (we have our own well), but I haven't noticed anything different anywhere else in the house where water stays (like the toilet). But it appears from other reviews here that I'm not the only one noticing a big difference between the current wick we get when ordering this part, and what we've gotten in the past. It's a huge drop in quality and costs a lot more than it should.
