Filtrete 16x20x1 Air Filter, MPR 600, MERV 7, Clean Living Dust Reduction 3-Month Pleated 1-Inch Air Filters, 6 Filters

Filtrete 20x30x1, AC Furnace Air Filter, MPR 600, 6-Pack: I've used these air filters in the past, so I was surprised to see all the negative reviews, particularly about the framework being flimsy or the sizing being too small. I've had no problems with either, as they fit perfectly and are rigid enough to withstand bending or being sucked inward, causing gaps on the edges. I have a 14 yr-old, 4-ton Trane heat pump. I tried using an air filter with an MPR rating of 1000, thinking it was better because it would filter more impurities from the air. While that's true, I learned the hard way that a heat pump isn't designed to be an air cleaner. Several months later, my heat pump broke down and was blowing hot air. The repair man told me that an air filter with an MPR greater than 600 doesn't allow adequate air flow to my heat pump and may have contributed toward the condenser unit breaking down. The higher the MPR rating, the more it restricts air flow to your AC unit. LESSON LEARNED: In my case, the solution is to use an air filter with an MPR of 600 or less. If allergens are still a concern - buy a separate air cleaner - and don't expect your AC unit to work properly if it's deprived of air flow. These Filtrete air filters fit perfectly (the exact dimensions are advertised and on the box), are sturdy enough to withstand bending and are a great value. Ignore the negative reviews - I'm a 5-year repeat customer and I've always been satisfied with these air filters. Despite all the negative reviews, I give these air filters FIVE STARS.

Best bang for the buck air filters that I have found. I will be buying more.

I wanted to order these for a third time. I bought them twice for 49.17. Now they are 86.88??? How could they double in price on Amazon?

These filters are above average quality and strength, packed well for shipping in a stronger than average box. Her are some pro's and con's:Pro's:- Reasonably strong, far less bending or bowing when the a/c turns on- MPR 600 rating, which is about a MERV 8 for those interested in comparison- Lasts 2-3 months, depending on how much air pollution your home has- Great value, sweet spot- Stops the most "important" pollutants in ones home, including pet danger, dust, pollen, and mold spores- They are electrostaticCon's:- One of the filters did have a slight bend in it but bowed right back into place and went into the filter frame with no compromise- I wish they were slightly more reinforced as when the unit is on, the center bows a little bit which is a malady of the lower or mid range filters with a lower MPR ratingOverall, I'd give these: 9/10

Pretty nice air filters, they work as intended and fits pretty snug within the air intake frame! Good value for the price!

I used to buy those cheaper filters but sometimes it's worth spending a bit more for the best. Breathing in clean air is worth it. I'm sticking to 3M filters for now on. I bought the MPR 600 because I don't have pets and I don't want to overwork my HVAC. So far so good.

easy installation.

We have been using this particular filter in our home HVAC system for several months now. It does a very good job of cleaning the air in the house and also reduces the noise level from the HVAC system.

Excelente calidad

Good price and they work great.

This size of filter has become much more difficult to find in my local stores so this option is extremely convenient and a great value! Well packaged and quick shipping.

Excellent product for the money

A good quality product. It does the job. A brand name product.
