I have been buying 3m filters for my ac from SAMS club for years but the last batch has issues. I think it is too restrictive and causes my furnace to cut off or short cycle. A new filters fixes the issue but returns in less than 30 days, I can feel the decreased airflow in the registers. Also, I recall the 3M filters used to have rounded folds in the filter material however these newer ones have very sharp folds like a W or V. I am not sure if the earlier version had a lower merv rating. I can no loger use these for more than 20 days, and we do not have any pets or a dusty house.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I own an older home. My HVAC air return is an odd size. Can never find it at other retailers. Its always in stock online and at a better price with Sam's. I place my order and 2 or 3 days later the box is delivered to my front door! No shipping charges since I'm a plus member!

I’ve been purchasing my furnace filters from Sam’s for a few years now and it appears these filters are much sturdier than those I have purchased in the past. Great upgrade in product and as always, great customer service/support. Thanks, Sam’s Club!

I believe they work. Have the 1st of the pack we purchased in my handler now. I can't speak for the way they are supposed to remove odors, mold, dander, etc..as they say they do, but I need to replace my filters once every month as required by my property management company so I got these. With the price we paid its about $10 a month. I am good with that!

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

These are the best filters we found at any store, including the local hardware stores. We wait for them to go on sale, and usually buy two packs, as we change our filter every month. Thus far, we feel that these filters are helping to keep our furnace cleaner and our air clean. Definitely recommend.
