Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exact replacement for our Sunbeam SCM3755C humidifier filter

We're solid citizens - we're honest. We vote, we pay taxes, we share, we care. When changing the filter, however, we admit to slightly negligent fault. It doesn't matter which filter we're talking about. HEPA filter? pff! furnace filter? A sensitive issue - do not go there. But as the dry winter months descended upon us again this year, we somehow sensed it might be time to replace our humidifier before we put it back into service. Maybe because we never changed it and don't remember if we bought the humidifier before or after the microwave was introduced. Of course I thought maybe we could avoid the replacement by soaking the original filter in some vinegar or something. So I removed the old filter to see what needs to be done. horror show The center of the filter was littered with compacted dog fur and vicious clumps of dust. The filter itself has turned into a limestone. I reluctantly said it hopelessly, we observed a moment of silence, threw it in the trash and started looking for a replacement. Finding a replacement for something online is never easy. We can rarely find things listed specifically for our jerk's model number, if we can even find the model number at all. But this one seemed to match ours, and the picture on the website really did look like we should have had it a long time ago, before we started years of quiet inattention. So fingers crossed and ordered. To our delight and surprise, it goes perfectly with our Sunbeam SCM3755C! Others note that it is difficult to install. newcomers. It is true that it is not set up lightly. You'll have to play around with it a bit to curl the top edge into the plastic part that's responsible for holding the shape. But it is not Hercules' art to shout out loud. It lasted maybe a minute. Our humidifier is now ready for another too long, dry winter and we are just grateful that we didn't have to spend a lot more money to replace everything. Also, the whole process allowed the rest of the device to be cleaned up a bit. A success story in everything. And now maybe the dogs will stop sparkling like the Van de Graaff generator that goes out every time we pet them this winter.
