15508 Sears Kenmore Humidifier Wick Filter



Filter not usable:
The word "Sears Kenmore" used in the advertisement led me to order this filter for my "Sears Kenmore" Humidifyer. The trouble was that during operation I noticed the filter emitted an intense unpleasant odor. I would describe the odor as "industrial / chemical" that permeated my entire living area withing a short time. I decided that I did not want to breath this unknown, exotic odor all day and during the night in my sleep. Therefore I turned off my Sears Kenmore Humidifyer, removed the filter and eventually replaced it with an odor-free filter that was packaged inside a gemuine Sears/Kemmore box and sold at the nearest Sears Store. There is no more odor during operation.

BestAir Humidi-WICK Does Not Work
The wick does not absorb water properly from the reservoir and humidifies minimally. On my Kenmore model, a "Check Filter" warning comes on even after running for several days. If one removes the cover and feels the wick, it is barely damp. The wicking material is clearly defective or just incorrect. The product is worthless. My water has been treated and corrected for acidity so there are no issues with mineral deposits or things like that. The material in the wick is simply not absorbent enough.

Humidifier Replacement Filter
The product is OK. It is the same height and length of a regular Sears filter, but it is much thinner. It means that we must change it more often than a regular Sears filter. The cost is much less, so that certainly counts for something. I haven't decided if I will order them again or not.
