Coolest thing about these, they fit ANY Vornado Humidifier! That takes all the worry away about figuring out the right size/type of replacement wick to get. So easy!

Yep, hard to review something like this. These are the genuine Vornaodo replacement wicks. Order several and get free shipping. YOu need to replace these often in the humidifying season, so stock up. Best price around.

One thing that stands out is that instead of the dozens of filters, wicks etc that other companies have to fit their products. Vornado humidifiers ALL take these wicks! Making sure that the consumer gets the right ones and EASILY is a great idea! These are made in the US.
If ordering from Amazon, I do find it to be a good idea to watch the prices for this item on Amazon since they fluctuate up to $4.00 difference depending on when you look. What's up with that? If you're buying several packages at a time, that really adds up!

This is not so much a review as a cautionary note.

I've done a lot of research on filters and the such since my son tested positive for exposure to lead.

Both of the reviews of this filter (I have this or a similar Honeywell which is great but I am not sure which model.) Anyway, both of these reviews mention vacuuming the filter(s) to extend the useful life of the item. IF you are using a HEPA filtered vacuum, and only if you are using a HEPA filtered vacuum, should you think of this. But the cost of these filters is not so great that this makes much sense.

If you are not using a HEPA filtered vaccum, than all you are doing is sucking the stuff you don't want to breath out of the filter (which is what you bought the machine to do in the first place) and blowing it back into the air (which is what you boght the machine to prevent.)

Basically, the few bucks you save is not worth the risk.

HEPA filters were developed by the US Atomic energy commision to remove radio active particles from a contaminated environment. So they are more than sufficient for removing dust, mold spores, cockroach feces and dust mites which have been known to cause respiratory problems such as asthma.

Don't go by the light on the your Honeywell unit to tell when it's time to change the filter because the manufacturer wants you to change it as frequently as possible. When you find that the flow of air has slowed down and dust in the vicinity of the unit tends to collect more, then it's time to change the air filter. Also, vacuuming the outside of the filter may prolong the life. I vacuumed my HEPA and found that there was an increase in air flow afterwards and less dust collecting around the unit.

Before ordering a replacement HEPA filter for your Honeywell (or other brand) Air Cleaner, be sure to check the model number on the unit. This filter is for the smaller round unit (Model 10500) and for the smaller of the two upright units with handles (Model 17000). I replace my HEPA filter every year because I am very allergic to cigarette smoke, pollens, dust, molds, and other allergens and irritants. Also, this HEPA filter has pre-filters that wrap around it, so you may want to order a box of those, too. The pre-filters should be changed every 3 months, but I check them more often and vacuum off any accumulated pet hair.

This item is absolutely wonderful and no kitchen should be without it. For delicate meringues, this appliance takes all the work out of an otherwise laborious task.

The wire whisk is a perfect example of how kitchen aid should make all their attachments. It is made of stainless steel and works perfectly for making the fluffiest meringue. It does not have that nasty white paint coating like other attahments, therefore it does not chip off into your food. This is a must have attachment to your kitchen aid!

Whether you want to make chocolate mousse, or whipped cream for cakes, cream puffs or to top a pie, the Wire Whip attachment for the KitchenAid Stand Mixer gets the highest marks. Egg whites are easily whipped into meringue or to be folded into waffles, souffles or cakes. Consistent results with ease. If you like to bake or make desserts, I highly recommend it.

I have been using Mr. Coffee Wrap Around Style Coffee Filters since I have been married. I have the same 12-cup Norelco Coffee Maker that I did 27 years ago and this is the only filter that fits the holder because it has a center post. Other types of filters available do not fit. I have used these filters exclusively and I have only had fantastic compliments from guests as to how great my coffee is no matter what type of grounds or beans I use. But my filters have always been consistent. However, I have had a difficult time finding these at the stores so I was so excited to see I can buy them online. My only other option was to pitch my coffee maker to buy a new one that will accommodate the filters out on the market. I did not want to do that since I have been 100% satisfied with these filters. They are the best and seem thin enough to get all the coffee flavor through without releasing the grounds in the coffee. These filters also make clean up a breeze since you just dispose of the grounds within the filter so none of the grounds escape. They are the very best!!!!

I have been using Mr.Coffee wrap around filters for the past several years. I have a 12cup percolator. To keep the grounds out of the coffee you need a wrap around filter the other ones just don't do the trick.
If at all possible I would purchase these filters by the case not the box. You see I am an over the road truck driver and I don't always have the time or luxury to search for items in all the stores and not all the stores such as Wal-Mart etc carry these filters. They carry all the other type filters but not the wrap around.
So if you want ground free coffee in your percolator then use the Mr.Coffee wrap around filter. I highly recomend them to you.

There are few other viable ways of cooling a bottle down quickly that are this effortless. Slide the sleeve on (stick in freezer or not), wait, cork, and drink.

Besides this main feature, the chiller can serve two other purposes. First, after corking and pouring the first round of glasses, the chiller can serve in place of a more expensive metal bucket or crystal chiller. Second, the chiller is great for bring bottles of white wine to friends' homes that you want to share immediately. Many people start with whites and if you are bringing a room-temperature white, it's annoying having to wait for it to chill in the freezer. Those 15-30 minutes may see your bottle passed over and forgotten. But with the Rapid Ice chiller, you can arrive with a bottle that's ready to drink immediately, even if traveling to your friends' took a while.

I love the Rapid Ice Wine Coolers. I give them for token gifts and use them frequently myself. They are great for a spure of the moment glass of wine that needs chilling.

... After trying it out and being AMAZED with the results, I bought 2 more (full price). They are perfect for dining out on patio/decks, picnicing or when you need to chill wine in a hurry. They are especially helpful around the holidays, summertime and for dinner parties! They flatten out when not in use, so it doesn't take up much space in the freezer either.

We really love the Weber Chill and have not had any guest to our home who hasn't asked where we got it and even how much it cost! We ordered the silver and would recommend to anyone ordering to get the two wire baskets (extra cost) to go with it. This allows you to stack many 12 oz. cans of soft drinks/beer, etc. Also would recommend keeping cooler out of harsh sunlight and turning up when stocked completely full. We entertain outdoors all summer and have used the cooler every day. Highly recommended!

Keeps the beer cold! I could stop there but I'll continue! Had party 2 weeks ago and moved the chill out on the patio so people wouldn't have to be going in and out the door every 5 minutes. Worked out great!

I keep all my can pop (soda) and beer in it so I have more room in my fridge. Everyone who has seen the chill loves it and 2 of them have even bought one for their home.

This thing rocks!! It comes packaged nicely and secure and sets up in no time. It cools down fast and is the must have patio item for your summer. Baskets are a must get. I will be chillin and grllin a lot with this badboy come summertime!!! Go load it up with your favorite brewskis!!!

These look very stylish but more importantly, they hang onto the edge of the glass very well (making it easy for guests to retrieve their olives or onions or whatever, without getting their fingers all wet). Also, they are long enough to hold 2 or 3 olives if you want. Very attractive on the glass!

I have contemporary tastes and was looking for something stylish. I bought the set Amco has that is called "Galaxy" -- comes with one pick with the design above and also comes with a lightning bolt, flat spiral and flat open star. All look great in the glass and hold the fruit well. The stainless steel will last a long time. The only think I would add is that it would be great to see this in a yellow gold too (if the finish would hold up to liquor).

I received this product and found it to be everything it promised. It is quiet and after a good night sleep my breathing is much better. I am glad I purchased this item and plan to purchase another for the downstair rooms.

the filter works extremely well and made an immediate difference in the air quality of the room. The only drawback is the price - its relatively expensive to continue to replace filters. They are one timne use and once the indicator on the machine tell you that it is time to get a new one then you simply remove and toss. Living in NYC I am going through a filter a month easily just in the kids room.

This is a fantastic bottle opener. Love it. Love the color, love the size, love the weight.

My only drawback, and why I couldn't give it 5 stars, was because it doesn't have one little piece of metal on it. I had planned on putting it on my knife magnet so that it would be on "display" in my kitchen. Alas, the silver part is not metal.

But - other than that - it's handy - especially for people who need something to grip. For an older person or someone that has strength or gripping issues - the large size is great.

Don't get all excited, it is just a bottle opener. You get what you pay for, this one is high quality, and more expensive. If you are a KitchenAid nut, this one is great for you. If not, it is an expensive bottle opener.

I bought this because it came up in my Gold Box. My old, wimpy can opener has bent too many times and it's starting to get soft. I cannot imagine this can opener bending, much less succumbing to metal fatigue.

This salt and pepper shaker are great and they look pretty too. The only complaint that I have is that my salt shaker tends to jamm up and quit dispensing salt quite quickly. I end up having to clean it quite often. But I still love the set.

I really liked the shape and color. When I got them home, I was surprised that they worked so well. Very clean looking.

This is a great set, and I would recommend it highly. It grinds very well, and the set looks good too.
