Product review (5 stars): "THEY SERVE MY NEEDS"
I purchased 2 packs of these filters . No they aren't vornado brand filters, but they fit perfectly in my vornado humidifiers. They only arrive at your door in 2 per clear plastic packaging in  an  Amazon box , which is the reason for the price being what it is.  The read a few reviews about the smell of these filters , mine to had a slight unpleasant odor to it. I simply misted it with a fabric freshener, not saturating it, just misting on both sides then running it under cool water until the filter is completely wet, let it drip  out a few minutes , then the smell was done . It don't harm the filter at all. We have hard water in our home , so I go through 3 to 4 filters a winter, once the filter won't absorb the water any longer , it's time to replace it. I have no problem replacing them because the vornado humidifiers for been working wonderfully in our home .we have a very large home and our furnace has a humidifier built onto it ,but some winters there just is not enough moisture in our home. These filters more then serve our needs. THANKS FOR READING, BYE
