Filtrete 16x20x1 Air Filter, MPR 1500, MERV 12, Healthy Living Ultra-Allergen 3-Month Pleated 1-Inch Air Filters, 6 Filters

The Healthy Living series by 3M truly makes a difference in the quality of your homes air cleanliness. Worth every penny

These are good filters. The 14x20x1 fit a little bit bigger than the previous ones I purchased. I had to push them in to make them fit. Thats why I gave 4 stars.

This filter removes a lot. This is how mine looks after just one month, so I recommend replacing them that often.

I have been using subscribe and save for my filters lately, but I have been having problem with them coming damage. This particular time the, box was undamaged but the filter has a damage circle of it. I will have to go back to buying them locally. Here is my review of these filter. I have used many different strengths, but downgraded a little because of the cost. SHORT ANSWER: These filters are great and I can tell a difference when I used a higher grade filter but that can vary depending on the level that I started and how clean the house was previously by a high filter. Don’t forget to check the air filter regularly because a dirty filter can cause the coils to freeze up and will need to be turn off to unfreeze. Don’t forget to have your AC/heater check and make sure you tell them to clear the line (they may not normally do it, but should.) LONG REVIEW: I started using 1500 (at the time the purple label) and have used up to 2800. I live in a place where I get very sick because of all the pollution, pollen, dust, and in the winter smoke from miscellaneous burned things from across the border. How well do these work …..well that depends on how you live your life. We for the most part keep our windows and doors closed and always run the fan on a/c (heater) unit so it is alway cleaning the air which was recommended to us. If you have pets and open your window and door a lot and keep them open it will be hard to keep your air cleaner. The cleaner you have your house the better it will be vacuuming, dusting, etc…. We have box fan with 20 x 20 filters on it. We tried using, them then we stop, and now we are using them again. We started using 1500 and upgraded recently to 1900. At first I thought when we used the 2800 filter it was really only a physiologically made me feel better, but I up graded our fan filters from 1500 to 1900 and notice they appeared to get dirty fast. After that observation I believe they make a difference. How fast can it clean your air? Depend on your life (mentioned above) and house size. I have notices that it can take about month or so to clean our small house. There is a visual difference the higher you go. The higher filter look different with more pleats and a stronger gauge on the wire across the front and back. KEEP IN MIND **If you don’t change your filter when it gets dirty it can freeze the coils because of poor air circulation and you will need to leave the air conditioner off for a while to melt the coils. **Regular maintenance can prevent problems make sure you have your ac/furnace is check year and TELL THEM TO CLEAR THE LINE (they don’t always do this automatically) and can get clogged and cause flooding. **AC not turning on also check the batteries. I’m sure there are more, but these either happened to me personally or I heard about them and wanted to pass this knowledge along.

Filters work well. However, i ordered 2, 2-packs and only received one. Have not been able to contact support to resolve the issue.

Little bigger than the cheap one but it fits

I recently moved from a house to an apartment. I always used these filters at my house and continued in the apartment, instead of the cheap ones that are typically provided for tenants without charge. Goodness, I dont remember my filters being this dirty so quickly in my house! This apartment obviously is much smaller in square footage, although I do have two Persian cats. Between my Honeywell air filters, these 3M Filtrete filters, and my Rainbow vacuum cleaner - it really does control the dust/dander in my small space. Lastly, I should mention that I also have asthma. I trust this product and will continue to use it.

Traps so much dust, I should replace them every 2 month

I bought the wrong one because I use the smart filter but filtrate makes a good filter

I am not an HVAC professional but from what I can tell this filter works. It seems to collect debris (dust and what not) as good as others Ive used if not a little better. The 12x12x1 size was a snug fit in my return air, I made it work but had to push. Most the other sizes from this line are also snug fits for my returns were perfect fits, but this one was a little tight. Im giving four stars for construction, fit, and how well I perceive that its working.
