I have been using Filtrete filters for about 11 years at my "retirement home". This is the last house I am buying my wife told me when we purchased this one. It is a small ranch and it is easy to keep up. I love the Filtrete filters because I hate to dust.

I use 16x20x4 inch MERV 12 filters from Filtrete because they have the best build quality of all the filter brands I have used. I just have an issue with the vague MERV rating for a particular filter. Filtrete uses their own rating system (1550 for example) and then I have to do some research to find the MERV rating.

Decided to try this filter to see if it could remove household dust. For the last 9 years I have used the 1085 filters but they let too much dust through them. After the merry maids finished I would change the filter then test for dust for a week. These filters allowed dust to accumulate. Not good!

I have been using the basic flat filters for several years. I always thought that as long as I changed or cleaned them every month they were just as good as the more expensive "Allergen Reduction" filters. Boy was I wrong. I decided to try a Filtrete Allergen Reduction filter because my eyes were constantly irritated and itchy, and on wet humid days I could smell that "wet dog" smell more often. I've been using the model 1200 filter for just over two months, and my eyes are not itchy and there has been NO wet dog smell. I have been very happy with this purchase; just wish I had tried them many years ago.

I have been using Filtrete filters to reduce the allergens in the air for the past 5 years. They have significantly reduced the particles in the air that had been causing my wife to have various allergic reactions, including coughing, watering and itching eyes and general difficulty breathing. I certainly will be continuing to use them from now on!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an electronic filter system that i removed because stopped functioning and replaced with what is easier to maintain .I don not have to wash the filter using any chemicals and is safer for the environment within the house.

We purchased this filter for the first last year. It is an amazing filter. Product does a great job filtering out dust in our home. You can actually see the difference in the minimal amount of dust in the house. It's a great product. Would recommend to any body needing a filter.

I have started using these filters because of my severe allergies that hit me every summer. This past summer I thought would be a bad allergy season because of all the rain we had earlier in the spring. However I actually felt better all summer and it has to be because of the Filtrete filters that I have stared using. You have a customer for life.

I have been using these for about 15 years now and love them. You would be amazed at how much stuff you can see trapped in one even after just a month. It will remove pollen, and even smoke and mold from the air. I would suggest getting a few for a season, especially if you dodn't have central air and are running the heat for the first time in the fall with a filter this fine. You will probably end up changing the first one after a month, then ever 3 after that unless there are constant pollutants in your house, like a lot of smoke or a mold problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this filter for many years! We used to buy the cheap filters and had a constant dust problem in our house. Since using this filter there is no longer a problem! The old saying "you get what you pay for" certainly applies here. Well worth the money for a clean healthy home!
