3.0 out of 5 stars Probably won't replace it, October 24, 2008

I have an Air-o-Swiss humidifier that came with one of these, but I don't think I'll replace it because it's ridiculously expensive.

Both silver and copper have antimicrobial properties, so I know it does some good, but I think I'll try to clean it or replace it with maybe a dozen clean pennies before I shell out $30.

This Ionic Silver Stick Microbial Inhibitor was extremely simple to replace in my Air-O-Swiss humidifier. Just take out the old one, and pop the new one in. Couldn't be easier!

These humidifiers are the best, and the cost of replacing this stick once a year and the cartridges every 3 months are well worth the completely hassle-free and quiet day-to-day use (with no buildup).

$30 for a few strands of silver? Who knows if it even does anything? After paying $150 - $200 for the humidifier they suck another $30 from you every 6 months! Why not just stick an old piece of silver jewelry in the tank (but be sure to clean it every 6 months)?
