Fits into the Holmes HM-3500 humidifier like a gloveNov 22, 2009
Fits the Holmes HM-3500 just right. The package said it would.
Seems well constructed.
I'm not sure the blue outer surface does anything significant. Even if the blue webbing is completely "anti-microbial," how does that keep microbes from flourishing in the other 99.99% of the wick?
The dewpoint [outside] was in the upper 30s, my apartment is about 700 sq. feet, and my humidifier was coming on almost constantly. It should have been coasting along (with the fan on Low) instead of stressing. I took out the old filter, put in one of these, and with the same dewpoint, the humidifier comes on for much less time, saving electricity and my patience.
Now, I'm ready for 0 Degree dewpoints -- Bring it on.
I recommend using a mineral-dissolving Water Treatment so your wick lasts for 6 months instead of 4 weeks. I have soft water, but use a little squirt of Treatment every time I add a couple of gallons of water, regardless. I think it helps extend the wicks' life.
Lose one star:
* for not being 100% antimicrobial but including marketing jargon that implies that it is
* for not lasting forever, and
* for costing too much.

 A great replacement filterNov 18, 2009
These replacement filters are great. They have a handle built in to keep your hands dry when removing from humidifier. The Air Washing layer is very good at catching dirt and pet hair that would get into the evaporation wick and shorten the life of the filter. This is well put together so that it stays upright even when it is wet instead of collapsing like other filters do.

 Argh - didn't fit my Honeywell humidifier.May 31, 2009
My stupid Honeywell humidifier does not have a marking on it saying what model it is. So when I ordered this filter, I assumed that their filters were universal.
Well, they're not. Argh.

Monthly Cost Not AnticipatedApr 08, 2009
I have mixed feeling about this product. The filter works well but does not last long. Mildew builds up quickly. I have to remove it everyday and take it outside so that it can air-out to perserve a longer life span. I us it everry night in the Honeywell 1012. This system has reduce the number of sinus headaches I get--that's the positive benefit. The negative point is that each filter cost over $9 dollars and only last approximately a month if you leave it in continuously--Approximately $120 a year. I called Honeywell to find out if there was a replacement filter that did not require changing. Unfortunately, No.

I'm glad it's what I really wantedMar 21, 2009
Finding this item took a little hunting around. You see, the picture shown is not the HC-14. I don't know what the item being shown is, but the HC-14 actually has the "Air Wash Technology" thin blue filter around the white honey-combed item that is pictured.
I was revealed when it arrived that it was what I REALLY wanted. That is why I'm rating it a 4 and not a 5.
As far as the Filter itself, the one that originally came with my Humidifier (which is identical), lasted a good year. I did take it out from time to time, and wash it in vinegar water; and I did NOT replace it like they suggested (I didn't need to!).
I can tell you when you NEED to replace the filter. It will be humming right along, then one day, you think, "My, I haven't filled the reservoirs in quite some time..." (Because normally, I'm filling one of them almost every other day - then all of a sudden it's weeks). That is when you'll know.
