I have used these filters for several years and don't have to change them out as often as other brands. Although it states they last 3 mos, I usually swtich them around 2 mos in summer. I don't have much along allergys so I can't speak to it's effectiveness or maybe that's why I don't have allergys :-)

We had a difficult time locating the Ultra Allergen 2X Bacteria and Virus Filters in the correct size (18x20) for our furnace, but finally found them online from Sam's Club. We are grateful for the ultra-allergen / 2X bacteria and viral protections provided by the 3M Filtrete Filters. We also appreciate being able to shop online at Sam's Club even though we are not members. Wow!

My friend recommended these filters and I'm very happy using them. The air is a lot cleaner; I don't have to change the filter out for 3 months. I highly recommend, although pricey, it is definitely worth the money. Also, they have a reminder when to change out filters.

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.

This is a really great deal for filters that need to be changed every 30 days. It gets so expensive when you have to buy them one at a time so I was really happy to find a four pack! They have all sorts of sizes and honestly, you can buy three of them and get by for a whole year!

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.

We've used these 1600MPR type filters from Filtrete for several years in our 1400 sq foot, 2-story condo. It does a good job for its intended purpose as near as I can tell. Although I'm not able to see allergen, bacteria and viruses, I do always see a discoloration on the pleats when I change-out the filter at 3-month intervals.

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

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.

These filters work very well & keep my house & vents very clean! No allergies either & priced a bit high but lower than at other places. I date them & change every 3 months. Once I vacuum cleaned them to reuse once and they held very well for over 6 months!
