Review on Vornado MD1-0002 Replacement Humidifier Wick (2-Pack), White - Long-lasting Moisture and Clean Air Solution by Dave Connelly

Very disappointed with this product. It does not absorb water to wet the entire material. The top half or more of the filter dries up and turns an ugly brown and very unattractive to the eye. We service a water softener so mineral buildup is not a problem. I tried wetting the entire wick when refilling the water jugs but the problem remained the same. I replaced the wicks as suggested, cleaned and did everything I could to keep this humidifier working. All have failed. If you have more than 1/2 wick dry, the humidification process cannot work effectively. The device uses up the 4 gallons of water stored in it in a matter of days. I have spent so much time and money on electricity and wicks that I am disgusted with this product. Look for the image of the waterline at the bottom of the wick. From then on bone dry and without surgery. I think you'll have to remake those wicks and maybe the humidifier yourself.
