What Customers Are Saying

The Filtrete air filters receive mixed reviews. Many customers report the filters effectively capture dust and allergens, improving indoor air quality. However, a significant number of customers have experienced issues with the recent filter design, including the plastic support being on the wrong side, causing the filter material to become dislodged or sucked into the air handler. Customers also complain about increased air resistance, whistling noises, and the filters not fitting properly. Some have resorted to purchasing other filter brands due to these quality and design problems.

Good Value - Too much Cardboard

I just picked up an order of 12 filters: 12" X 36" Basic MERV 5. I have not used them yet - but, when I do I'll write another review. The picture on the retailer's website showed the Filtrete filters with no cardboard covering the front. What I picked up, had lots of cardboard covering up the front.
