BestAir HW14 Honeywell Replacement Wick Filter

Fits perfectly in my Honeywell HCM-6009 QuietCare 9-Gallon, and this filter is half the price of the OEM version. The OEM filter only lasted a couple months, not sure how long this will last, just put it in, but seems to be the same OEM quality and look (except this is all white instead of blue and white). Raised the humidity by 10% in only 30 minutes; the OEM, when new, did the same, then the effectiveness dropped off considerably.

One suggestion, clean your humidifier thoroughly before putting this in. I wiped mine down with just water and it looked like new, but I should have used vinegar, diluted bleach or a humidifier cleaner. I skipped this step thinking it looked clean using just water, but it put out an odor never-the-less. You will not save any time skipping this step, even if it looks clean, it is not, and had to pull it all apart to clean it again with diluted bleach.
