They are okay

This filter may work great on new HVAC system but I don’t recommend using this filter on an old HVAC system. After installing this filter, I noticed that he blower fan kept running continuously. I had 2 different technicians replacing several parts (relays/switches) but the problem with the fan was not fixed. I replaced this filter with a standard filter and the unit is running OK and the blower fan start/stop as set.

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.

Very well made, easy to install and the fit is right, but check your owners manual or HVAC professional to be sure it's appropriate for your unit. I got a scolding and was told to use something rated MERV 8 or less to avoid straining my equipment. So I now hope Sam's will stock a wider range of options, because I did like this brand and style.

This is a quality high air flow filter. I took static pressure measurements with and without these filters and adjusted my HVAC max air flow settings for each zone to stay within a 0.5 to 0.8 range for static pressure. I installed 3 of these filters and 4 months later they are still clean and having almost no impact on air flow. These filters are far better and flow significantly more air than really cheap 3M filters. They also fit the housing tighter and seal better. I know because I had some from previous owners to compare. I gave that junk away on marketplace. These combined with a robot vacuum and mop have kept my home virtually dust free over these 4 months and they have a lot of life left. If you think these restrict your air flow too much, you need to get your HVAC settings adjusted and possibly get professional help if your ducts aren't sized properly. Air flow issues are a problem with your system, not with these high flow filters.

Lasts up to 3 months but have to change every month.

Clean my home air so well

I have more dust with this filter

price better than Home Depot

Only last one month. Not worth the money
