VornadoMD1-0034 Replacement Humidifier Wick (Pack of 2) , White

I’ve been using my two Vornado Model EVDC505 evaporative whole room humidifiers for almost 3 months now. I didn’t realize how quickly these filters can change color & become tainted based upon bacteria in your house and how often you run them. The humidifiers have been a godsend in the winter months, allowing me to be comfortable with both heat or my gas fireplace burning throughout the winter. I purchased my humidifiers through a big box discount club store, and thankfully that store included one complete replacement set for each humidifier. When I looked at the humidifier filters after about six weeks of use, I noticed that while they were still damp, they had a reddish tint in them, which indicated bacterial growth. I immediately replaced both sets of wicks with the free wicks included. This model offers a low energy saving mode, which allows them to run intermittently 24 hrs a day with an evaporative mist. So I don’t get the moisture and condensation building up on windows and doors that other humidifiers seem to cause in my house. I also no longer get the constant popping and cracking sounds in my wooden doors that I typically hear all winter long. It’s really annoying at night when you’re trying to sleep to, constantly hear popping of my solid wood doors throughout the house. I was able to purchase the Vornado brand replacement filters (1” filters MD1-0034BB-A) through Amazon at a much cheaper price than any place else for them listed; almost 50% cheaper! They were almost the same price as offbrand filters and when reading reviews about the evaporative mist humidifiers, many owners recommended against buying offbrand replacement wicks for the Vornado humidifiers. The price was so cheap, I bought enough sets to get me through this winter, as well as having a spare set to use next winter as soon as I’m ready to set up my humidifiers. They are easy to insert after cleaning out your humidifier and draining old, stale water. I’ve even read that you can dry out these wicks after soaking them with a little bleach and fresh water. But they were so inexpensive on Amazon that, honestly, it’s not worth the effort to go to that trouble. The wicks are fairly delicate and begin to shred easily if you try to rinse them out or ring them out to roughly. And just as a test, I noticed it takes days for the wicks to completely try out.

Works as intended to.

These fit the humidifier just like they should and are packed away with the humidifier for next season. Worth the purchase.

Available for $9.99 elsewhere. Just google it.

These fit our Vornado humidifier perfectly. We've been using them for years and they work fine. I wish they lasted longer, but they stop producing humidity after a couple of months, given our Colorado weather and water quality.

Worked great with no issues. I would have no issues buying it again.

I'll always buy the genuine article here. I've tried the cheapo replacement wicks, and they're just not as good.

Great product ... is evaporative with a good fan to cover a large bedroom... excellent price ... can get room to 68% with low water usage.
