Vornado MD1-0002 Replacement Humidifier Wick (2-Pack),White

I use this to humidify my large bedroom and master bath. Not large enough for a whole house as advertised which isn't unusual for most stand alone whole house humidifiers. Buy a larger unit than you think you need, it's easy to dial back the humidity but if there's not enough output for your space it's useless. It works great. I love it because: the first humidifier/wick I ordered was defective and the company stood behind their product and sent a replacement ASAP with extra filters! I like it because it takes 2 days before I fill it again. It's very quiet. I like that the tanks do not have caps and washers - it's just the patented tank that magically works. The motor is on TOP and a tray is on the bottom so if there are problems the water doesn't spill/leak even when I move the unit. It is easy to clean and maintain. Very light when empty of water. Excellent product. Be sure the wicks are soft when you use them or the unit will not put out humidity. I have a small humidity gauge in my bedroom to check. This unit doesn't show the percentage of humidity it is putting out (it uses dials) - I didn't want digital controls because my cat plays and turns digital controls off and on to feel wind in his whiskers.

Based on other reviews for this 1.5" version and an excellent video of this used in the EVAP40, I decided to try it and it works well. It's thicker than the 1" width ones that come with the EVAP40, but it fits length and height wise. Using it about two weeks and it does good job of wicking up the liquid and I believe better than the 1" thick ones. At low fan setting, the EVAP40 pushed my humidity level to 60% in my bedroom. I have nasal issues and this helps me to sleep better. It's currently spring time in Colorado, but I prefer my humidity level between 50 to 60% while sleeping.

Works great!

I own the Vornado Evap3 Whole Room Evaporative Humidifier and periodically I like to get replacement filters. I only use the humidifier during the heating seasons once the house dries out and the heating cycles become regular enough to dry out the air. The filters are effective and easy to replace and require just a few minutes to swap. Ideally it is best to wait for them to be dry so I prefer to do this at the beginning of the season or after the unit has been off for a prolonged time. I've tried an antibacterial solution additive for the water but if you just use the humidifier for one season I suspect it is better to just replace the filters as they are fairly inexpensive. The Evap3 intake vents bring in a fair amount of dust and other particles and you can see the buildup on the sides of the filters. The edges of the filters tend to fray slightly and small pieces can fall off leading to a slight cleanup. Like many filters I fear the day they will stop making them and I'll have to turn to a different unit. Overall, it's a good investment to keep the unit running clean and providing a healthy mist.

I have the industrial size humidifier, for 1845 converted brick mill lofy and it’s very dry in the winter. The humidifier itself is so simple and easy to clean, but you need to change the works out and I put them on subscription. The humidifier is so easy to clean, but you definitely want These wicks on hand.

They hold up well

Ease of installation and good value for your money

These are the factory recommended filters for the Vornado. Their longevity is going to be on how well you take care of the humidifier, not the filter. No demineralization? Nothing to prevent algae and mold? Then they get gross fast. If you use a demineralizer and a 1/4 cup white vinegar in the water then they last longer.
