Ratings & Reviews for Filtrete MERV 5 MPR Basic Pleated Pleated Air Filter 3 -Pack

Maybe TOO good?

It says lasts up to 90 days, however, after barely 30 days, it was whistling so bad I had to change it. It apparently does a REALLY good job! I do have a pug and 2 kids, but I didn't think it would clog that fast.

Works great!

I have dogs and cats, and am very pleased at how well these filters keep the air clear!

Great features and affordable

I tried Filtrete after using other brands. It seems to do a better job.

Does a god job for the money

I change filters often so the Basic Pleated works great. Excellent filtration and a good bargain.

Better HVAC performance with this filter

I downgraded from a High Performance Filtrete filter to this one. Blower speed from vents doubled. AC runs less. Lower bill. Happy camper.

It works

I have used the 3m Basic Pleated filters over a long period of time and have found that they do a good job filtering out dust. I live in an old house with some old ductwork, and keeping the filters changed regularly helps tremendously in keeping the dust out of the house.

I don't dust as often!

I had always used the glass fiber type since that's what was in the furnace when I moved in. After having to replace the furnace and getting too old to get to the attic (where the darn thing is) they vendor put in ceiling intake vents with the same glass fiber screens. A friend told me to 'upgrade' to better filter the air. Not wanting to spend much on an experiment I tried the basic filter and have been happy with them ever since. An added bonus - in the winter months I don't dust as often.

Do the Job

I purchase this filter on a regular basis and it does a good job

very good product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does the job that it was meant to do, very good product

Economical price for 3-pack!

We purchased the 3-pack at a very economical price for a pleated filter. Our home requires two different sized filters - so of course we purchased a 3 -pack of each. We monitor the filters on a monthly basis - thereby changing them on an as needed basis. The pleated filter is sturdy, sized appropriately and performs well. Satisfied customers!

Does better than a basic job for me.

A step above any generic filter that I have tried.

My size hard to find

Have older home with several 12x24 filter locations for central air conditionae. This is one of the few fiters that come in that size.

Basic filter

I buy one once a month, catches dust, particles very well.

does not fit

I assumed this filter in the midst of Air Conditioning Filters with the size of my a/c filter would fit as other a/c filters sized 20x20x1-inch fit. WRONG! Now I am wondering if this "air filter" is also an a/c filter at all. I will stick to the cheaper, yet correctly sized a/c filters from now on.

You get what you pay for

Excellent value but cardboard caved to minor pressure during installation. No surprises here just hoped for better. Overall though I'm replacing filters every month because of all the construction going on around me so these were the obvious choice given their price.
