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

The packing is easy to unbox and unwrap. They were difficult to install.. Used ACE filters before and they just dropped in to place with some slack. These filters need a screwdriver to act like a shoehorn in pushing them in. Very tight fit. They cost about 3x more than the ones I used before so far no noticeable difference.

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

Good value

Better than the cheap stuff. Hopefully they last longer than the other ones.

This a a/c filter. They last for three months before you need to change them. I think they are the best ones out there. I tell my friends to only use them.

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.

no odor came out air from furnace great for healthier living

Amazon has fixed the packaging problem. BEST FILTERS THERE ARE. KUDSO TO AMAZON! Filters are high quality and exactly what I wanted but seems like Amazon could figure out how to ship filters without them getting bent or crumpled in shipping. Shipping box was collapsed and both filters frames and filter elements were crushed and bent. I made do but its frustrating and thecardboard frames are impossible to bend back into correct shape and will never seal as well and allow some bypass air as a result.

The package was obviously opened by someone prior to delivery. Tapes were pulled up on one end and the flaps were left open. Box was retrieved just a few minutes after being left on the porch - ring camera showed no one tampering with it. Amazon delivery person had to leave it upside down to prevent the contents from falling out. If the filters were not individually wrapped the order would have been returned. --- 3M clearly displayed on the outside of the package --- Filters are expensive but seem to be superior to others.

My daughter has Asthma & these along with our HEPA filters help absolutely!
