Questions & Answers

The product does not appear to be a genuine Vornado product. What kind of box do they come in?

In my opinion, these wicks are no longer of the same quality as they were in the past. My Vornado 40 has been my trusty companion for years, but I've had some disappointing results at the last two orders. It took me a little while to change a new pair last night. But once they got to 35 per cent humidity, the new ones were already beginning to turn In this example, reverse osmosis water and a bacteria control are being used. Until recently, the wicks lasted more than a month.

How about the Vornado EV100? Can this filter set be used on it?

If you have EV100, then MD1- is the one you need In this case, use Humidifier Wick 0034

What are the actual dimensions of the Is there a box of how many?

Per box, there are two filters. Five) and one. The thickness of this slab is 5". At least three times, I have ordered two boxes of filters (4 filters in each box). Each time they were genuine Vornado replacement filters in original

An item of this description is described as a 2 It's all there. That means there are four filter boxes (2 boxes with two filters each), or does that mean there are only two filters?

In one box, you'll find two filters.

Selected User Reviews For Vornado MD1-0002 Replacement Humidifier Wick (2-Pack),White

I find it absolutely repulsive This is not a good deal! This is the second time I have purchased these filters hoping that the first time was just an error on my part
3/5

As well as one size for the other Vornadohumidifier, I purchased another size. It made the filter start to disintegrate after about a week. It began to dry out and turn brown after a couple of months. Trying flipping it and then not flipping it the second time around proved to be more successful for me. When it is full of water and not allowed to run dry, the filter just disintegrates and stops circulating air with moisture. To check if it was working, I even bought a humidistat. But it's not even remotely doing anything. There is only a single canister for the Vornado. The water I'm drinking is not my own, because I purchased other sources It would have been better to have OEM replacement filters for those that did not work, but those were out of stock, so I chose the replacement OEM filters. It turned out to be a mistake. Buying the filter for $15 is expensive when it only costs $69 for the entire humidifier. Therefore, I have spent nearly half of the cost of the unit on having Also have a double tank Vornado energy saver and bought your Vornado replacement filters for that one as well and it did the very same thing. A non-automated controller was purchased by me We ordered replacements from a reputable brand, which work great and have a special silver mesh to prevent them from falling apart. They don't crumble or dry out. As Amazon's 30-day window is only 30 days, and I missed it by one day, I am going to contact Votnado directly for a refund. As an absolute no-recommendation, with all the poor reviews on these filters, I can't imagine Amazon is still selling them, or Vornado hasn't done anything to make things better. In the first two photos you see the single canister, while in the second picture you see the devil canister with the non-defective canisters Shelters that perform well during a tornado. Both of those are from Amazon as well.

In order to make us buy more, the quality was reduced
3/5

It may take a bath in vinegar to remove the hard minerals that have accumulated on the original wicks. One rinse in a vinegar-water mixture could not save the filters. As soon as the filters were left untreated for four hours, they started to fall apart around the edges, becoming a horrible I placed them in a water bath to rinse out the vinegar after they sat in the bath for six hours, but the filters disintegrated completely. The original filters lasted through the same washings so well that I was able to continue using them for more than It is estimated that these filters will last for about four weeks. A humidifier that needs wicks was a great purchase, but because we now spent a couple hundred on it, and it will cost over a hundred a year to operate it. In the photo I attached, which shows our second set of these filters after three weeks, you can see how they are working. Before I really need to replace them, they still have about a week left.

It's your water, not the wick, that's causing the problem
4/5

These are fine in my opinion. I see some negative reviews, but that is usually due to people flushing these with water that has Although you can soften your water, you'll have mineral buildup because softened water contains more minerals. Then I blast them with hot water again every two weeks for about another two weeks. I soak them in vinegar for 10 minutes and then run them under hot water for ten minutes. The period of five months is five While they don't get perfectly clean, it should not be a big deal. Wicks are delicate, so you have to be gentle when handling them. Utilizing a humidifier that provides a mist of high humidity Neither mineral water nor mineral salts will solve the problem In addition to ruining your humidifier, it will also leave mineral crust on everything around it. There's no way around it, you simply can't evaporate dozens of gallons of hard water and not have minerals left behind. It is possible to fix the problem with distilled water, but that would be costly.

You owe it to yourself to do yourself a favor
3/5

After three years of using Vornado Humidifiers with filter problems, I decided to switch to Breville. You should use a special cleaner often, as well as clean your humidifier weekly. All kinds of things didn't work. It is very rare for me to write reviews but from now on, I will make an exception. price of filters doubled in stores I still buy them from Amazon, but they are the same junk. A couple of weeks after they are made, they begin to rip and crumble. Buy a cool mist humidifier! They break apart. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET ONE. I appreciate the fact that there are no filters to deal with and some of them show actual moisture in the air. THANK YOU FOR NOT PERSISTING WITH THE BAD PRODUCT AND I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION. I WAS SO MISSED BY VORNADO I'M SO SORRY I TOOK SO LONG TO CHANGE.

Having a system that costs too much and is too fragile makes it I did not realize how fragile these filters were and how frequently we would have to replace them until we got the Vornado system with its two large tanks
3/5

Just for the dry months, we use them for just two months, so we spend about $50 on filters in addition to the Vornado's $100 price tag. There's no magic to it, they just fall apart even if you gently rinse them with a light sprayer, so if you're really careful you can get two or three out of each one The maximum period is 3 months. Since I tried to rinse my first set in the sink and touched them, they fell apart much faster than my second set - The idea is not to remove them from place (bring the whole plastic base to the sink) so that you can flush out accumulated dirt, and I only do it once every 10 days to make sure that I am not handling them too much and causing them harm in the long run.

It has excellent wicks and a It is used in my bedroom and master bath to humidify the air
5/5

Although it's advertised for a whole house, it's not big enough for a complete house, as most stand alone humidifiers are not very big. When buying a humidifier, be sure to get more output than you think you need. You can always lower the humidity, but if it doesn't maintain enough humidity in your space, it isn't useful. I like the way it works. There are a lot of reasons why I love it First humidifier/wick I ordered from this company was defective, and I was refunded and a replacement arrived with extra air filters immediately after it was found to be defective. Since I have to wait two days before I fill it again, I enjoy it. There is a lot of silence. The fact that the tanks do not have caps and washers is a plus The patented tank is the only thing that makes it work. Despite the fact that the motor is on TOP of it, a tray is attached to the bottom, so if there are any problems with it, the water will not leak or spill. Cleaning and maintaining this product is easy. When water is empty, this is very light. Good product. Only catch is that the wicks need to be soft when you use them, or else you won't get humidity out of it. As part of my bedroom setup, I have a small humidity gauge to monitor humidity levels. The unit does not show the humidity it is putting out (it uses dials instead) - The humidity is determined by the fan. It wasn't easy for me to decide on digital controls because my cat loves to turn them on and off repeatedly to feel the wind in his fur.
