Product Quality

Pros:

• "High-quality product from the manufacturer of my humidifier just very good quality very very reasonable price."
• "These are perfect, factory OEM original parts."
• "High quality & easy to recommend."
• "This waffled aluminum type pad lasts much longer than the fabric/aluminum ones."
• "Great price and factory original packaging gave me confidence the product was not a cheap knock-off."
• "These are the real deal and work great!"
• "Nothing better than getting original replacement parts."

Cons:

• "When I opened the box there was only one filter inside."
• "Ordered a 4-pack, but received only one filter in a package that was broken open and damaged."
• "Product came dented on the ends and it has an orange paint sprayed on it. Likely to indicate it’s used."
• "Open the box to replace the water panel for the humidifier, discovered the panel is crushed in right out of the box."
• "The only complaint I have is that this thing cannot be cleaned and must be thrown away after one winter season."
• "Product gets 5, packaging 2. I wish amazon would add a rating for packaging."
• "The water pad unit arrived in an Aprilaire branded package and was an exact duplicate of the one being replaced."

Installation

Pros:

• "Changing out the old panel requires no tools, and only takes me about 10 minutes."
• "It was easier to change than expected."
• "Very easy to install."
• "Simple install as the old and the replacement filter both have a red line indicating where the top of this should be placed within your humidifier."
• "Installed filter with colored edge on top according to directions. The filter slid into the bracket easily and is working well."
• "Super easy to install and takes only about a minute."
• "The installation was really easy and simple to do."

Cons:

• "It was simple to do by myself."
• "Just make sure you install it right I put mine in upside down and had a little mess."
• "I bought the whole thing. I should have just bought the filter. The frame did not fit, so I had to take the filter out and put it in my old frame."
• "The instructions say install with the painted end up; however, one end is painted with a black strip and the other end appears to be lightly painted yellow."
• "When I installed this one the water just ran out the bottom of my Aprilaire unit and made quite a mess, despite rechecking that I had reinstalled the filtering panel correctly."
• "I wish I could just pop this in and throw out my old filter, but these require you to remove your old moldy filter from the black plastic casing and install the new mesh into the old casing."
• "The part that holds the panel had a lot of calcification on it which I don't think the HVAC company had ever cleaned."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Will order these again when I need more."
• "So tyvm we spent a fraction of the cost and it works beautifully!"
• "The filter is MUCH cheaper than getting it from our heater maintenance company."
• "The two pack of original Aprilaire water panels are a tremendous value as others are charging more money for only one panel."
• "Genuine Aprilaire water pad. Fits perfectly for Aprilaire 600. This is supposed to be a 2 pack, but only one was in the box when delivered. Called Amazon and they took care of it."
• "Aprilaire is the manufacturer of my humidifier so as expected this is the perfect fit. What I appreciate is that they provide the replacement water panels at a fair price."
• "Genuine replacement filters in a single four pack, which at the current price here on Amazon equates to less than $10 a filter."

Cons:

• "You only get 3 filters, NOT 4."
• "Used this #35 water panel on my trusty old model 560 by-pass humidifier. $13+ apiece for a pack of two is expensive for what they are."
• "Never got the second one. Feel cheated on that."
• "I got the first filter and it was used so I re-ordered it and then the second one came and it was also used what a waste of time now I have to take this trash to the UPS store."
• "Unfortunately I paid for two panels and I was only able to use one panel...threw out the second panel."
• "Bought a 10 pack but only 8 came in the box."
• "The product was a furnace filter. This particular filter (like most filters of any type) have increased in price far too much!!!"
