The HWF65 should work with the following Holmes models: HM-1850, 1845, 1855, 2059, 2060/W, 3000, 3800*, 3850*, 4000**
I have the 2060W and it works fine. generally, they don't last too long, though.

The Holmes Cool Mist Humidifier is really a great humidifier. I've used one in my daughter's bedroom for 3 years now. The filters are treated with an antimicrobial agent to keep harmful bacteria at bay longer. We usually go through a filter a month, on average, during the winter months. My only complaint is that they took out the blue/red strip that used to tell you when it was time to change the filter. That really came in handy. Overall, though, the filter and the humidifier work great.

I've noticed that if I take a teaspoon of bleach and put it into a full resevior of water after about 3 or 4 weeks into a new filter, that I get almost 2 months out of a filter instead of the usual month. There is a little bleach smell the first day or two but it goes away quickly.

Can someone please tell me what is the difference between the HWF-65 and the HWF65PDQ-U? I have several HWF-65's laying around from my Holmes HM2060W humidifier that recently died and I am trying to find a replacement humidifier that uses the same wick filters. I am seeing a model (HM1865-U) listed on Amazon that says it uses the HWF65PDQ-U replacement filter but no one (not even Holmes) will answer my question of WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO replacement filters?!!?!?!?!? I just need this burning question answered...

Yuck. I have bought these in the past and have had no problems. This time they got moldy quickly. Will not buy again.

Just to be clear, while the title of this item says filters this item is just one filter. That said, it is increasingly hard to find these locally. This really is less a filter and more a wick, but it works with my now 6 year old humidifier. I find if you use RO water the wick lasts about a month as long as you don't let it dry out. I imagine distilled water would work about the same.

What I didn't like was the shipping wasn't very speedy. Not bad, but if you're used to getting things quickly (as most things come that I order through Amazon whether it comes directly from Amazon or the company) this one doesn't.

This product is great when it is brand new, but after two weeks, it starts to smell because it starts getting moldy. Putting bleach on it makes the whole room smells like bleach. Ick!! Takes two days to get rid of the bleach smell, then have to turn on the air cleaner. What a pain to get a little humidity into the air!! Only purchase if you can keep buying them over and over, again.

This filter fits my humidifier. It is difficult to find this product in the stores. I am very happy that I can count on Amazon to get products like this that are hard to find elsewhere.

Could someone who bought this please post which filter/humidifier model this is for? I can't believe they don't include the info in the description. Thanks!
