Beware from buying from Allergy B Gone
(1 out of 5) by K. Kojiro on Oct 20, 2007Thought I purchased the Honeywell 504HAC replacement filter as listed on Amazon, but instead received a generic version that I could have purchased for significantly cheaper. I phoned the company but got no answer. I emailed the company and got no response. Would avoid any transactions with this company. I placed a complaint with Amazon and hope that this problem can be remedied.

Honeywell HAC504 Replacement Humidifier Filter
(5 out of 5) by J. Hubbard on Jan 29, 2006Works Great. The handle that they put on the filter is really just a gimmik, but they also changed the outer most layer from paper to a tough plastic. It lets you soak the filter in hot water to get the minerals out. It looks like you can reuse it at least a couple of times.

Be warned, the filter is a GENERIC replacement for the HAC504
(2 out of 5) by Tom K. on Dec 13, 2008OK, so I should have read the reviews before purchasing. I would have seen from the first review that this is not made by Honeywell itself.
The product details says "Item model number: HAC504", the Honeywell model number.
I received a "Best Air HW500 Humdi-Wick". Best Air Humidifier Filter (HW500)
I don't like being bait & switched, so I am dropping the rating down to 1.
But the price for the HW500 with a few minutes of online searching was, at it's cheapest, $1.50 more, and even on amazon from a non-misleading item search, was $3.50 more. And the company did ship pretty quickly; it arrived 3 days after the order was placed. For that, I am raising the rating to 2.
I have no review on how well the HW500 will work in the Honeywell humidifier yet. I am going to go ahead and use one for a couple of weeks to see how well it works. I will say that the diameter is smaller the the HAC504, but I am not sure if that will make a difference. If it works OK, I will come back and raise the rating to a 3.
To the seller: To get any higher, I would need to see some indication in the main product item page that this is a GENERIC filter instead of a Honeywell brand item.

BUYER BEWARE
(1 out of 5) by Matthew Mahler on Oct 20, 2008These filters are generic and NOT made by Honeywell... They are thinner than the Honeywell brand and they are a smaller diameter than the Honeywell brand which means that you have to forcefully put them into place. I still have a good unused Honeywell filter that I compared them to. I emailed customer support and have not heard from them at all. Good luck to you if you order through this company. Will not be doing business with them again.... Thanks amazon.com for putting this slime company on here for me to purchase from.

Worth the cost!
(5 out of 5) by Nicole A. Barry on Mar 4, 2006 (Astoria, NY United States)Using Amazon.com's Free Shipping w/ a purchase of $25 or more came in handy when ordering this product. I had to order 4 (at the cost of $7.99 ea) and it was well worth it.
Living in NY the filters need to be changed on a constant basis, and with an unbeatable price (other stores charged almost $30 for one!) you can't go wrong!
The filter is wrapped with a convenient plastic handle which allows you to change the filter without getting wet or dirty. Very easy to insert and remove into my humidifier.
I highly recommend using this product. My only complaint is that the box it arrives in is somewhat flimsy, but a little bit of scotch tape and you are set. Doesn't even register as a setback in my book!
