SHF: The best filters I've found. However they don't work any longer than 90 days and more often than not, less than 90 days.

Quinn: BestAir ES12 Replacement Wick Filter. With Sears gone, it's getting harder and harder to find filters for the Kenmore humidifier we own. The first wick we bought is almost three times the price of this one. This was a considerably more budget friendly alternative. That said, these have also gone up a few bucks since I purchased them.

Took a little work to them to fit, but they do, and they work. It's pretty much all you can hope for at this point.

paul in nj: Nothing exotic here. If you have a hot air heating system, you need humidification during the heating season to prevent the hot air from drying out all the furniture in your home. Years ago when I owned a home, I added an automatic humidifier to the plenum, and it worked well. I now own a manufactured home - single floor with a downdraft heating system. Since the home is not that large. I use a humidifier that adds moisture to the house air to combat the drying effect of the heat. The one key point of maintenance to get the desired results is to change the filters once or twice every heating season. These are paper filters that are relatively easy to change, but are absolutely necessary if you want the humidifier to do its job.

RV: Went to purchase replacement filters for my humidifier and found the AIRCARE HDC12 replacements that I had previously purchased had more than doubled in price!! So with some more research on available choices, bought these instead. They fit tighter and better that the previous ones and they have antibacterial control as well as a foil type reinforcement layer. Better design, better quality. Good replacement filter for my unit.

NormTheStormNormTheStorm: J'ai réussi à installer ces filtres dans les cloisons de mon humidificateur Sears (Kenmore) 758.299860C. Ils remplacent physiquement les filtres Sears 42-29959 bien que ces derniers ne soient pas énumérés sur la boîte.

J'avais installé des HDC-12 (Aircare) l'an passé et ça a fonctionné. Les HDC-12 est identifié dans le titre de l'annonce Amazon.

Je vais mettre à jour ces commentaires après une saison d'utilisation quant à leur efficacité/durabilité .

Mise-à-jour (2020-01-05)
Je nettoie l'intérieur de mon humificateur trois fois par saison (incluant un nettoyage final avant le rangement estival).

La deuxième photo montre l'état de l'un des filtres (ils sont tous pareils) après deux mois d'utilisation. Ils se comportent bien et ne se désagrègent pas. Le vert que l'on peut voir n'est pas de la moisissure mais une décoloration d'une bande verte à l'intérieur du filtre. Les filtres trempés se ré-installent bien. Très satisfaisant.

Bill Yanchick: These replacement filters are better than the original ones sold by Sears. After reading some reviews that stated they didn't work as well as the original filters I was reluctant to try them, but I'm glad I did. These filters are much more durable than the folded paper ones. And as far as putting humidity into the air I don't see that there is any difference; I am filling up my water bottles at the same rate as before. I live in the north, so on warmer days during the winter months my furnace doesn't kick on as frequently and the radiators don't dry out the air as quickly. Therefore it is easier for the humidifier to maintain the relative humidity in the house. On very cold days (especially when it is below 0 Degrees F), the furnace kicks on quite a bit, the air is drier and the humidifier has a harder time keeping up. That's going to be true no matter which type of filter you happen to be using.

Although it is recommended to change the filters each month, I usually leave these filters in for two months before changing them, sometimes longer. I add a small amount of BestAir Humidifier Bacteriostatic Algae & Odor Water Treatment (comes in a green bottle) to each...
