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

Good

I try to get the MERV 13, but I rarely find them. So this is the next best in the line. I have 2 openings which require 12x12x1 filters, so this pack fills my needs. It does a great job helping to filter the whatever it is out of our air which would otherwise make us sneeze.

This is the only kind of air filter I buy.

A little backstory on me. We moved into our new house in 2011. We had a new A/C system so I wanted to get a high quality filter in place immediately. I did my due diligence and selected a Filtrete. Since 2011 we have stuck with these filters and have been happy with the quality, construction and durability. The price is higher than competitors, but my piece of mind offset the additional cost. Recently (Oct 2020), I ordered another quantity of six. Same filter as I have always used. Installed a new filter 24 x 30 . Same inlet opening over the years, however my intake opening is overhead, not in the wall. Took a new filter, and put it in the opening and turned it loose. It promptly fell out on the floor. I have never had this happen before.v Upon checking I find that the filter is actually 23.81 inches by 29.81 inches, but on the label it is designated 24 x 30. I called the manufacturer and complained. It was explained to me that I should have paid attention to the ACTUAL dimensions stated on the label. I have purchased these filters (with the correct sizing on the label for a decade, it is not my fault that they changed the dimensions and said nothing of it on the label. In my humble opinion, this constitutes fraud. They advertise one size, then pull the ole bait and switch with a different filter. I am sure they did it to reduce cost. They have to pay the multi-million dollar quarterly bonuses to their CXX people.. They probably saved $0.01/million filters. Bottom line, I no longer buy Filtrete filters. They had a good customer for the better part of a decade. I would still buy them, if they had remained honest with the advertising information. My suggestion is that you do not purchase these filters because I am quite sure that whatever you buy will be undersized. Shrewd business people. Sell a filter that will not fit the advertised size.

I upgraded to this one and my house isnt nearly as dusty anymore, so worth the price.

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

These filters appear to be solid, with the wire protection on both sides. They capture what youd expect from their MPR rating, and do not seem to degrade the air pressure. I just wish they were individually wrapped and perhaps a little less expensive.

High quality, easy to install, and they do the job every time!

Filtretes seem to do a very good job and are well made. 20x20x1 and 16x20x1 are accurate measurements. The larger filter for the downstairs system needs to be precise to slip in. Other cheaper brands have been a teeny bit too wide and an ordeal to install. 5 Stars except 3 for Presentation because when this set arrived one of the ends was a bit smashed. I will straighten them out to work.

1500 is about the lowest I would go to clear pollen and dust out of the air. They are expensive but I consider this one of most important functions in the home.
