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

I have been using these for years. I have seasonal allergies and these filters minimize my suffering. Recently, they have pretty much made the finer 2200 filters standard, due to COVID. Fine by me. I will now get a better filter for the same price thanks to economies of scale.

I was using a MERV8 filter from a hardware store brand. It was fine for the first few weeks, then i started having breathing problems - i.e. was having a hard time taking deep breaths once in a while in the house. I felt like my lungs were straining when i was trying to take those deep breaths. My house has some rugs and a big dog, but mostly hardwood floors, and havent had these issues inside the house before. Resuming my allergy spray did not help. So I bought this filter from the hardware store last night and replaced the MERV8 one (it was barely 3 days old and almost new) - within about an hour, i was back to normal! No more breathing issues inside the house. If you are sensitive and prone to allergies. then this is a must buy - its not optional.

This item is not sold in stores due to the size required for a manufactured home. Works perfectly

After moving into my house 2 years ago, I had the crawlspace and attic encapsulated and insulated, followed by installation of an energy recovery ventilation system and sealing of the baseboards of all outer walls. The HVAC consultants who did this work explained that my house is now extremely “tight,” i.e. the ERV brings fresh air and exhausts stale air out, and the house no longer leaks air. The last thing I want to do is upset the air pressure by choosing the wrong filter after the complicated renovations. Thus I tried the Filtrete 1500 because the top reviewer for this product said it had the lowest pressure drop. I think the Filtrete 1500 works as well as the Filtrete 1900 and Filtrete 1200 with charcoal in my house (I rate them all a 5), but no filter has been as important as frequent vacuuming. I use a Miele vacuum cleaner throughout the house once a week, then use a Swiffer WetJet on the hardwood floors. I also vacuum the curtains and baseboards about once every 2 months. If you do this consistently, dust bunnies never have a chance to form, and the air that recirculates in the house gets cleaner and cleaner over time. The extra house work pays off in better health and lower costs. After 2 years of this cleaning routine, my allergies improved so much that I stopped using antihistamines, and filters easily last 3 months.

I was so impressed how fast delivery was and the packaging. The price was very competitive and overall best filter I have ever used. Will buy again

High quality filters that fit better than most and really improve air quality and reduces required maintenance on my older forced hot air furnace.

It does what youd think it does. Its a furnace filter.

This product is expensive but is also, in my opinion, the best filter on the market. Cheaper options are available but if you want to make best efforts for clean air this filter is a great choice.

I got these before I knew 3M made MPR 2800 filters in 20x20x1. These dont do as good as a job with fine dust around the house as 2800s, but they are advertised at MPR1500 so no complaints. I am very happy with these 3M filters as I know that I am getting the filtration rating they advertised, unlike the cheaper no name brands. Yes they are pricier than other brands, but I wanted to make sure I received the filtration I needed for the house.

So the filters are 20x30x2 inches in total.....the box they came in was huge 20x30x20!!! Ridiculous and too much garbage to recycle!! The inner box was sufficient!!!
