These are good filters. They are good quality and stronger than the cardboard filters. These have a wire mesh on both sides and stay firm and strong with the air flowing through them. They hold a lot of dust and keep the AC unit very clean. Keeps a lot of dust from flowing into the house. Keeps the air cleaner.

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 :-)

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

They were received in good condition from the shipping company. We use these filter because I have a severe respiratory condition, These filters help keep down microscopic particles that could exacerbate my condition. In my option they are excellent filters.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
