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 :-)

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.

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 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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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.
