I only buy Filtrete, they're the best. Unfortunately my 10 year old furnace died 2 days after I received these filters and I never had a chance to use them. Replacement furnace uses a different size and the company I used provides free filters for 2 years so I will be returning these. Will buy the new size from Sam's when the free filters run out or if I decide the free filters aren't doing the job.

Seems to have only a few less pleats as a 1900 limited info out there on these but I'm glad to have a budget option that seems to perform well and let's the HVAC unit breather easier. More pleats equal better air flow and less static pressure for your system when it starts to get dirty. Less stress on HVAC units

I appreciate the price Sam’s club provides us for this air filter. It’s almost half priced as compared with the other retailer. The 3M quality is always the best. I can immediately feel fresher air in my home after replacing the old filter with this one. I bought 12 packs with this price, enough for next 3 years. I highly recommend this product to everyone.

I know HVAC workers will cringe when I say this, but we really like these better than the cheap ones they HVAC workers say to use. I don't think they're a waste of money. Having the pets we have, being smokers, and living in an older house that's hard to keep dust and dirt out these help much better than the cheap ones. Instead of changing the cheap ones 1 or 2 times a week, we can sometimes go almost a month with these

I bought these "higher end" filters from Sam's Club (online) for a great price, and had them shipped directly to my home. I already knew the quality was good but I was shocked when the filters arrived with no damage whatsoever. No dents, no dings, no moisture . . . perfect. They were in better condition than what they would have been if I had bought them from a store in person.

The filters themselves are good. The delivery, not so good…..one corner of shipping box was smashed and wet when received. Filters inside had corner damage and were wet. I live far enough away from Sam’s that I decided to use instead of trying to exchange…. Dried them out so should work okay.

I have used Filtrete filters for years and they are consistently effective in pulling pollutants out of my home leaving it much more fresh. With droughts and dust a real problem this year the allergy causing agents are plentiful and everyone needs to use the higher grade filters for easier breathing!

This is a quality high air flow filter. I took static pressure measurements with and without these filters and adjusted my HVAC max air flow settings for each zone to stay within a 0.5 to 0.8 range for static pressure. I installed 3 of these filters and 4 months later they are still clean and having almost no impact on air flow. These filters are far better and flow significantly more air than really cheap 3M filters. They also fit the housing tighter and seal better. I know because I had some from previous owners to compare. I gave that junk away on marketplace. These combined with a robot vacuum and mop have kept my home virtually dust free over these 4 months and they have a lot of life left. If you think these restrict your air flow too much, you need to get your HVAC settings adjusted and possibly get professional help if your ducts aren't sized properly. Air flow issues are a problem with your system, not with these high flow filters.

When I saw these on sale at Sam's, I immediately went down to stock up. They clean the most miniscule particles of dust, debris, and other particles from you recycled air, and add years of life to you HVAC unit by preventing this particulate from getting caught up in your coils.

Rating is not based on scientific analysis but based on observation and long-term use. The 1600 MPR appears to substantially reduce as claimed pollen, pet dander, smoke, bacteria and viruses. The latter two elements cannot really be determined. Changed every 2-3 months and the amount of collected debris in the filter is supported of filtering.
