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!

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

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 bought these "higher end" filters from Sam's Club (online) for a great price, and had them shipped directly to my home. I already knew the quality was good but I was shocked when the filters arrived with no damage whatsoever. No dents, no dings, no moisture . . . perfect. They were in better condition than what they would have been if I had bought them from a store in person.

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.

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 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 :-)

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 have used Filtrete filters for years and they are consistently effective in pulling pollutants out of my home leaving it much more fresh. With droughts and dust a real problem this year the allergy causing agents are plentiful and everyone needs to use the higher grade filters for easier breathing!

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.
