I have tried cheaper brands but I always come back to filtrete. They have different merv ratings for different situations. I have Saint Bernards and lots of dog hair and dander and it takes care of it all.yes they are expensive but worth every penny.

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.

The Filtrete Ultra Allergen Bacteria and Virus filter seems to be helping reduce my allergies, especially when used in combination with room air purifiers. The MERV rating of 12 is higher than I usually prefer since it can restrict airflow, but these filters make it worth having my A/C work harder throughout the day. They offer great value when purchased in a pack of four, and Filtrete is a leading brand in air filters.

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.

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!

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!

Excellent filters at a really good price! These really eliminate the finer dust and pollen particles in the air in our house in SC. We have noticed a drop in accumulated dust on horizontal surfaces in the house since we switched to these very efficient filters about 8 months ago.

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 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!

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.
