Just what we needed

Excellent Air Filters

Thought this was a great price since I usually pay $35 For one. But these are not 4 like it says . They are 4.5 did not fit ! Now I have to return them.

The way our air system is set up, we have a 1200 filter installed just under our unit, but we also have another filter mounted in the door. The air is sucked in through the door filter first and then up through the one in the unit. We LOVE this set up and we LOVE using Filtrete filters. With my husband's asthma and allergies I don't know what we would do without them! Thank you Filtrete!

Filter says 16x25x4 but it is actually 4.25 thick! Does not fit in my furnace which is exactly 4.0" This is an extremely frustrating problem and every store carries the new 4.25 filter and apparently nobody makes or carries the old 3.75's anymore. I could cram a 4" in there but not one thats 4.25. Trust me, I tried.

I use 16x20x4 inch MERV 12 filters from Filtrete because they have the best build quality of all the filter brands I have used. I just have an issue with the vague MERV rating for a particular filter. Filtrete uses their own rating system (1550 for example) and then I have to do some research to find the MERV rating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two cats, two Labradors, two teenage daughters and myself in my house. There is always dust, dirt &/or dander in the house no matter how frequently I clean. Having this Healthy Living filter in my house gives me peace of mind.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You just never know what you don't know. These filters do so much to clean and keep the air quality optimal, but if you've never used them then you just won't know that you are actually deciding to breathe less than perfect air.

I have been using Filtrete filters to reduce the allergens in the air for the past 5 years. They have significantly reduced the particles in the air that had been causing my wife to have various allergic reactions, including coughing, watering and itching eyes and general difficulty breathing. I certainly will be continuing to use them from now on!

My family and I moved into our 2800 square foot house in Minnesota almost two years ago. The filter that was in the furnace was not a 3M Filtrete filter and it was disgusting. I bought this product because it was the only filter of this size offered at the store where I bought it. I thought it would be a good deal considering it said that it would last up to 12 months. I'm no dummy, I know that when something says that it'll last up to any amount of time, that time should be cut in half under "normal" Minnesota conditions. Cutting to the chase, this product doesn't even last 3 months, and that's in the fall when the furnace fan never runs! We even had our ducts cleaned before installing our last filter. The product definitely works because of all the "stuff" trapped in it, but for a product to have a label on it stating that it will last up to 12 months, it should at least last 6 month in Minnesota conditions. I would recommend this product to anyone, however I would have to warn them about the replacement period being so frequent.
