Easy to Use!

2007-12-05
These are super easy to use. Just drop in with the water and good for 30 days! The directions say it is good for 30 days in water, so you can dry it out in between uses and get it to last longer. They seem to work well. We've used them in 3 different humidifiers and each tank seems fresh and clean.

Difficulties

2007-11-25
The item does not fit in any unit. I have two different ones and it does not fit in either. Its a small round ball with a tab sticking out. You need to submerge the whole thing in your water tank. The ball is slightly larger then a quarter and is only rated for 1 month.

Cleaning cartridge

This item works great as far as keeping the humidifer free of gunk and other nasty stuff I only got a chance to use it for a few weeks due to the fact the warm weather is coming but I will definately purchase another one.

it is an expensive unnecessary

2007-04-06
The cartridge costs about $5 and last only 20 days before the filter and the cartridge starting reek. However, I found that Holmes Bacteriastat cost
about $7 and could last for a season and it also extended the life of the filter.

My suggestion is to buy the Bacteriastat.

Perfect for lazy people like me

This is a must have if you have one of those humidifier I have and also for people like me. The lazy kind of people. I find the money I spend on this vs. the amount of time I have to do to clean the humidifier is well worth it.

Really Helps 2007-02-17
I think this cleaning cartridge really helps keep the humidifier base free of mineral deposits and mold. I've had my humidifier for a month and so far no buildup. Also, the filter is still pretty clean.

Never would have expected this to work 2007-02-15
BUT IT DOES! We bought a Honeywell humidifier and it came with a free cartridge. We tossed it in and forgot about it. A month and a half later, my husband decided to change the filter and, as the thirty day life of the cartridge had expired, he tossed it. We could not find a replacement in a local store, so we just didn't worry about getting another one. Two weeks later the humidifier started smelling toxic. We removed the cover and filter to find slime everywhere! After only two weeks! These little cartridges are definitely good investments, given the cost of filters these days!

Not Impressed 2007-02-10
I have a Honeywell humidifier that is on my personal top 10 "must have" items. I figure with these cartridges the performance could only improve. I was wrong. There is NO improvement in the cleanliness of the tank or the filter area. The water actually smells funny with the cartridge in. Plus, I have noticed that the little beads inside fall out, and are reported to be harmful to pets and animals. They're so little it's hard to see them. Not a huge deal to me, but I'm sure it could pose a problem to someone.

All in all, I would rather purchase purified water, or get a water filter for my sink for the water to use in the humidifier than use these, since there is no real difference.

Makes life easy 2007-02-08
So much easier to keep your humidifier clean.. It really seems to limit mold buildup. I would have rated it 5 stars if it lasted longer than 30 days.
