The filter works well but does not last long. Mildew builds up quickly. I have to remove it everyday and take it outside so that it can air-out to perserve a longer life span. I us it everry night in the Honeywell 1012. This system has reduce the number of sinus headaches I get--that's the positive benefit. The negative point is that each filter cost over $9 dollars and only last approximately a month if you leave it in continuously--Approximately $120 a year. I called Honeywell to find out if there was a replacement filter that did not require changing. Unfortunately, No. Rating: 3 / 5 I have mixed feeling about this product.

I used the filter with a Pro-tec cartridge last winter and didn't change the filter once. In fact, I never even looked at it until it was time to set it up again this winter. That's when I realized it was pretty moldy and I should buy a new one. I received the new filter on Dec. 22 - it didn't even last me a month!!! <br /> <br />The only thing I did differently this time around was TRY to take better care of the filter to extend its life...because the filter arrived before the protec cartridge (both of which I ordered on Amazon) I used a drop of bleach in the water tanks. The mist had a bleach odor, which didn't bother me, but my boyfriend was concerned about our newborn breathing in the chemical - so I quit using bleach when the protect cartridge arrived. I also flipped the filter everyday, so the top part (which tended to dry out) stayed moist. Within a few days of the Protect cartridge and no bleach, the filter started to reek of mold and then it actually began to fall apart. The filter was crumbling and stunk. I just threw it out and am back online to order again. <br /> <br />What have I learned: While my humidifier kicks butt and keeps the entire upstairs area moist in the winter, the amount of time, energy and money I spend in filters and protect cartridges just doesn't make it worthwhile. I could buy three cheapo cool-mist humidifiers, with their itty bitty filters and wash them each once a week - and that's still less work daily! ...not to mention a heck of a lot cheaper!
