Replacement Humidifier Wick Filters, For Cool Mist Humidifiers, Series 2300 & 2400. If you want Hand_Blender to save some money simply take out the filters and soak them in white vinegar and some hot water for about 15 minutes (or longer if very dirty). You will hear some fizzing from the chemical reaction (like if you put vinegar and baking soda together). Then…presto! It was clean like new!

You don’t need it. I bought toysbestdeals a Sunbeam SCM2401 table top humidifier at a local store. It worked fine for 3 days, then the little filter meter became pinned at the “Change” side, showing that the filter wick was dirty, and the humidity in my room was only 20%. Sure enough, the wick was totally dry, and there was a line of rust at the water line. So I washed the wick under running water, and scrubbed it with a brush. That restored it for only a few hours. OK, so I’ll just buy a replacement wick. What?!! $6 and up? For a piece of cotton? The whole humidifier only cost $18! I lived in my dry apartment for several days, and then had an idea: Paper towels are very absorbent. What if I took 2 squares of paper towel and folded them around the old wick, like a U-shaped sandwich, so that the paper towel dipped under the water level and up the sides? This worked, and has kept working for 4 days now. The paper towel AND the wick now stay completely soaked, the little meter is happily in the “Good” zone, and my room humidity is a comfortable 38% (it’s winter, and the humidifier is on MAX). When the paper towel gets rusty, I can just replace it for a few cents. Cheap, convenient, and “green”!

Now, here’s the annoying part, and why I only gave this bestbuysportinggoodsreviews product 3 of 5 stars … they’re needlessly fragile by design. The manufacturer WANTS you to keep reguloarly buying replacement sponges, just like inkjet printer manufacturers want to keep selling you overpriced ink cartridges. Even though I have fairly soft water, and use a carbon block filter, these wicks only seem to last me about 2 weeks per pair, by default, before they lose their ability to absorb/wick moisture and/or fall apart. Perhaps someday someone will make longer-lasting reuseable cloth replacement filters, but as of this writing, there dont appear to be any available … because it’s against the manufacturer’s fiscal interests to make and sell such.

This was delivered Immersion_Hand_Blender 2 weeks later than promised and it is not the same filter as shown in the photo. It is a cheaper version and did not have the round button attached to the filter like the original has. It had a plastic square that could be attached anywhere but really won’t stay put when attached so I just left it off.
