Product review (2 stars): Stay away from off brand wicks!
Very poor product for the price.  Should've spent the extra $3 for the name brand wick.  We've been using this product for almost 7 weeks now with very disappointing results.  Our humidifier is set for 35% and it runs constantly.  We've had this unit for about 5 years and it has never ran this much, and we use to have it set to 40%!  The wick is completely dry except for the part that's submerged in water.  We always use RO water so the wick lasts longer and we've never had an issue with it drying out.  I would definitely not recommend this product.
