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.

BAD DESIGN
Would Not RecommendI bought two of these about Lamont ago so I would have them on hand and ready to go. Just got them out and noticed the air flow arrow. Others have commented it looks like it's going the wrong way. The other problem is because the cardboard frame is beveled or slanting out it does not go in the furnace easily and i think it would kink if forced. I am not going to take the chance of installing these and have one sucked into my fan. Money wasted and I won't buy again. I hope no one lost their job ...

new design
Would Not RecommendI do not like the new design of the 1085 filter that I bought today. It had a cardboard support across the back of the filter that is very flimsy and certainly will do nothing to prevent the filter from bending inward due to air intake from the heater. It may even rip and bits may get sucked into my heater. No thanks. I returned it. Thank goodness there were a few of the old style still in the store so I bought them. Please go back to the previous style without those cardboard supports.

Poor fit
Would Not RecommendI purchased 20x30x1 filters for my 2 HVAC systems and tried to install them in factory manufactured return air grills. I removed the old 20x30x1 hardware store branded filters and attempted to install the new Filtrete basic ones. They were so tight I had to force them into the opening causing them to bow, allowing the air to go around the filters. I ended going back to the hardware store and purchase the cheaper brand that fit properly. I had this same issue at another property I own. Picture i...

Wish frame was full.
Would Not RecommendI wish the frame on these filters was full instead of being so thin. It does make a difference, especially noise-wise when the unit comes on and turns off.

Good Filter
Would RecommendMy husband came home with this air filter. I changed it out and watched it over the last month. It works good. A little heavy in thickness so not sure how well it filters through but it does the job.

Not true to size
Would Not RecommendI bought two different sizes (12x24x1 and 16x20x1). Both sizes are slightly larger than the size stated and will not fit in the openings. Very poor quality.
