Product review (2 stars): Not the right size
This is not a great and perfect replacement for the smaller size Homes humidifier. It works just a great as the one that came with the until when I purchased it, but this unit is a totally different size. I would highly suggest looking around for a different replacement for your small Homes Humidifier. I feel like it adequately filters out the particulates in the water before putting the moisture in the air. I highly suggest following the instructions of completely submerging the item in water prior to use. I do feel that helps with the filtration. It is supposed to be the right size for my unit but is shorter than the one that came with it when I bought it. It seems to work, but I wonder if it is filtering out as much or as well as the taller unit would. I am not sure what to suggest. I think next time I will buy the universal filters that you cut down to size.
