Amazon.com Review
In arid climates or the cold, dry days of winter, owning a humidifier makes an awful lot of sense. A humidifier protects household occupants from static electricity shocks, prevents dry, itchy skin, allows stressed lungs to breathe with more comfort, and infuses the room's environment with needed moisture to furniture, fabrics, and plants for long-lasting health. But for all of these positive attributes, using a humidifier may also produce some nasty and harmful results. If not properly cared for, a humidifier becomes the breeding ground for assorted viruses, bacteria, mildew, and mold. In other words, the soothing moist air exhaled by humidifier might be much more harmful than helpful in the long run. To keep the air clean and amply humidified, it is essential to regularly replace the humidifier's filter, where the impurities often fester. Hamilton Beach recognizes the importance of clean filters by offering this replacement filter from their True Air line. p The filter fits Cool Mist models 05520 and 05521. These humidifiers accommodate rooms up to 1200 square feet and feature a 4-gallon output per tank. The filter drops into the tank for simple installation. Filters should be replaced every three months and humidifier water changed weekly to ensure clean breathing air. The Cool Mist humidifiers are also dishwasher- safe for thorough, regular cleaning. To extend the filter's life, some users swap out filters weekly to allow the spare filter to dry well to keep mold from developing. Rotating the filter also may prolong its life. No warranty is available for the replacement filter. This item measures 11.1 by 6.8 by 3.1 inches. i--Jessica Reuling/i

 gotta buy 'em February 16, 2008
It's a shame that these filters cost so much, I'd have sworn I paid more like $7 each for them last year, but they are worth buying. I have the humidifier which works very well, and we haven't had any trouble with it, but I sure wish the price would go down!br /And gasoline, too...
 Short-lived February 1, 2008
The filter lasts for about two weeks, after which it turns completely useless: it stops soaking up water more than two inches from the bottom (the rest of it remaining dry as the Sahara desert), thereby rendering the humidifier totally useless at any speed. The cost of filters for a single season is more than the price of the humidifier itself.
 Exhorbitant rise in price December 31, 2007
Price rise from last year 6.99 to 15.00 this year. Disgraceful.br /Dr. Lucille F. Becker
works okay, but for a price December 31, 2007
If you're on Amazon looking to buy these filters you likely have bought the Hamilton Beach humidfier at a real store and now need filters, only to find your real store doesn't stock them.br /br /I've had the HB humidifier for a couple of years and have used many filters; they are *very* expensive for what they are. They are cheaper if you buy them direct from HB (or even third pary sellers through Amazon), but by the time you pay shipping with the other sellers it's all pretty close. The expense of the filters though is an important point to consider if you are considering to buy this type of unit. If you need whole house humidifying all winter long it's not the right choice; if you own your home vs. renting have a whole-house humidifier installed.br /br /As for life expectancy...one can read the reviews and see that some people have a few days and some people get a few months from one filter. This is all a function of your own water and air quality. If you've got rusty water don't be surprised if your filter is yellow in a week, yk? br /br /Also, I've seen several reviewers saying they're trying to humidify their homes to 50%. This is probably too high for ordinary winter use in cold weather climates. Anything over 35% and you're going to get condensation on your windows which will freeze if it's cold. I have a whole house humidifier (something your furnace/AC guy has to install); its maximum setting is 35% and the colder the outside temp is the lower they recommend you set your humidistat at. Anyway, I use my HB room humidifier in the bedrooms of my kids when they have a bad chest cold. The extra moist air helps them breath and soothes irritated airways. But it's just for bedtime, and only when they're sick. My unit has no problem making one bedroom as moist as I want it short term (50%); I think in a large open space it would struggle.br /br /
short life-span December 21, 2007
Sure, it works just wonderfully when I first replace the filter, but it only lasts about 3 weeks, not 3 months. We use the humidifier all day and night in our very dry apartment which is only 500 square feet, and after even 1 week I start smelling the moldy smell. This is despite cleaning the tank and tray every 2 days (they recommend once a week) and turning the filter over every day. And you have to keep all the windows and doors closed, or it won't work at all. That makes for very stagnant air quality. Very disappointing.
