SharpHumidification Replacement Filter for KC-850U Or KC-860U

I have been used this product for 6 years.Really helpful.

I've been using it for many years, cleaning the filter while maintaining it, but it's starting to get worn out, so I bought a new filter. It seems like the tank is cleaner and less likely to get dirty. Cleaning it is quite a hassle, so I think it's better to replace it with a new one regularly.

Great

I have tried some off brand replacement for this Sharp humidifier and found they only lasted 3-4 months even with proper cleaning before getting super slimy and smelly so I decided to dive in and get this on brand replacement and couldn't be more pleased. I've used the proper cleaning care as recommended by the humidifier itself and had no issues with slime or smells. It seems to be working well!

Very pricey product. Just no way this thing lasts 5 years. I have replaced these things almost annually. They tend to shrink and get nasty around the 6 month mark even with regular maintanence (emptying out standing water every morning and routine cleaning per instructions). The only thing I haven’t done is buy distilled water for every day use. I don’t know if that would prevent the eventual nastiness and shrinkage.

These filters are great.

A necessary component for the correct operation of the Sharp KC-860 Air purifier humidifier. Well designed, durable, and works as intended. Easy to replace without any tools but your hands. May embarrass you if you haven't kept up monthly cleanings of the water reservoir and filter assembly.

Easy replacement. Old filter started to smell and had mold/mildew on it. This product works great and the air smells fresh again.
