Filtrete 12x12x1 Air Filter, MPR 1500, MERV 12, Healthy Living Ultra-Allergen 3-Month Pleated 1-Inch Air Filters, 4 Filters

This is by far my favorite furnace filter. It does what it says it will.

Very disappointing since its not true to size.

This is the only kind of air filter I buy.

OK, heres the deal. Brand new modular house in the Midwest (northern Michigan), delivered in January. Bought A/C - it was optional - just in case wifes allergies would flare up. Today they did. She took a Claritin and it helped some, but then after an outing, returning home, she started sneezing about every 4 seconds. She was miserable! So was I. Threw a new one of these into the HVAC system, turned on the A/C, her symptoms subsided in minutes. I mean literally in about 4 minutes. If you love someone with allergies, you will know how terrible it is when you cant do anything to help them. I wish these filters had been available when my son used to suffer from seasonal allergy. This is not a luxury purchase. Now, I have not done a side-by-side comparison test, though I do have some less expensive filters sitting there just in case - or maybe Ill throw those in, in the winter months (which is about 7 months per year here). So, other filters might be just as good. I dont know and I dont care - Im gonna keep buying these because I love my wife and want her healthy and happy, not miserable.

These fit perfectly, did a wonderful job filtering / cleaning up all the strands of fur coming from my cats being sucked into my duct work! Cant imagine the mess Id have with a lesser filter. Ive been using these for several years and have been very happy.

It was exactly what I ordered. Price was great as compared to HD & Lowes.

Filtration is the best filters for my family and I. It helps in keeping allergies, dust, viruses, pet dander, bacteria from my family and I. We breathe much better by keeping the filters in as needed.

Good

I actually bought this upgraded (1500) filter because my cat has bad allergies. I have two freestanding hepa air filter fans running in the house but with the drastic uptick of allergies this season (after all of the rain), my cat was still suffering. As a pet owner, of course I’ll do anything I can to help him. I’ve noticed he’s doing much better even with allergens spiking day in and day out. I know it puts more strain on the air intake of my hvac system, but maybe I can get away with this during peak season.

Ive used filters with filtration values higher and lower than this one, and 1500 seems to strike the right balance. The 1900 filtration version seemed to place added strain on my central air exchange, so I switched back to these. In a normal environment without a ton of added dust sources or long-haired pets, I get 3-4 months at least. I change them out no longer than 4 month intervals. Its cheap insurance for your health and HVAC system.
