Product review (2 stars): With the original paper wick filters I was easily able to get humidity up to 45%
These don't wick up as much water as the accordion style paper wick filters that originally came with the Essick humidifier.
With these, the humidity level does not go above 35%, even though I had set it to 40%.  With the original paper wick filters I was easily able to get humidity up to 45%. And paper wicks cost almost the same as these. So I am going back to paper wicks.
