as others have pointed out, this filter is absolutely horrible. the hamilton beach (blue) filter lasted easily 4 months with proper care (i have been using this humidifier model for 10 years), and its structural integrity was not the reason i finally had to replace. the "new" graco filter starts falling apart big-time as soon as it first gets wet. do not buy. i notice that hamilton beach still sells the filter this "replaces," and am going to see if it is the original design. shame shame graco.

I cleaned the unit (Graco 4-gallon cool mist) every day and filled it with water run through a very good quality countertop filter. Even doing this, I went through two of these $11 filters per WEEK (TWENTY-FOUR TIMES as many filters as stated by the manufacturer!), and simply couldn't afford to spend nearly $90 a month (just in filters!) to run a humidifier. That is, putting it simply, absolutely insane. Design is faulty -- filtered water shouldn't trash a brand-new filter in less than four days. I don't know anyone who could afford $90 a month for humidifier filters.

We've been very pleased with this humidifier, but find the replacement filters a little costly considering how often we replace them. It's worth it though for how happy we've been with the product.

Bought 3 of these Gracco filters and they all performed poorly. They do not hold their form and fall apart. Do not Buy!

We bought this Graco cool mist humidifier because it is supposed to be safer for homes with young children. It works well and I like the dial on the front to adjust the humidity. But the filters fall apart very fast. I clean the unit everyday when in use and the filters just can't take that. They are expensive to replace. Going to look for an alternative.

Graco should be ashamed for selling this product as it is now! The filter works ok with the humidifier that it is designed for, but they have chosen to make it CHEAPER in order to increase their profit. The quality of the filter they now produce is totally inferior to the one with the blue layer. It is now all white and the outer webbing is disintegrating while wet. This obviously means that I will have to replace the filter more often. I use filtered rainwater in the humidifier as my well water is very hard and in my opinion should not be used in any humidifier. Overall, the Graco humidifier works very well but this new filter is basically worthless!

The outside of the filter shed off a little each day, until there was nothing left. I went to the trash to make sure it was really Graco brand. I am thinking maybe it was sitting in a warehouse for quite awhile. The one that came with the humidifier lasted all winter last year.

Same as the Hamilton Beach filter but cheaper on Amazon. Humidifier doesn't work without it.

FILTER LASTS FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS- REALLY EASY TO SWAP OUT. I LOVE THIS HUMIDIFIER- HAVE BEEN USING DAILY FOR ABOUT A YEAR IN MY SON'S ROOM. IT HAS A VERY QUIET SETTING AND ONLY NEEDS TO BE FILLED ONCE EVERY 24 HOURS WITH WATER. SET IT AT A CERTAIN HUMIDITY AND FORGET ABOUT IT!

Not sure what's going on with particular brand of replacement filter... I run my Graco Humidifier about 9hrs at a time - and the level of water consumed from the tank is not noticeable - I'm talking day 1 out of the box. With the other filters I have used (not the one I am reviewing), I would easily go through almost an entire tank. I won't be buying this brand again.
