The filter border is not squared
on January 22, 2012

The filter no longer slides into the opening, the filter is not "squared" and will not fit in the opening - it's off by a fraction. And yes, I am purchasing the proper size 14x20x1 - they used to fit properly, now they do not.
I have used this product for quite some time and have been amazed every time I change filters as to how dirty the filetr gets. Yes, I change them every 3 months. My hvac techie puts in a plain paper filter and I'll change it shortly after he leaves. Breathing is so much easier. Will I continue to use these filters? As long as I can buy them you are darn right, skippy!
I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. If I didn't have these filters my house would look terrible. It amazes me how much pet hair is on the filter when I change it.
It does say they can last up to 3 months but find with the size of our house we need to change them every month. We do see an improvement using the filters.
We had been using the "better" series of filters, and then switched to the "best" series when we noticed that our allergies were still not completely under control. Once we started to use the "best" series, my husband and I could both breathe perfectly! It's definitely worth the extra couple of dollars to filter out extra allergens too.
Being closed up in a dry, air-tight house in the winter is rough on the sinuses. Add three dogs and you have a real nightmare. I used to sniffle and generally feel awful until spring came. Since I got the number 9 filters, I can breathe all winter! Life is definitely much better with oxygen.
3M Filtrete Filters are awesome. Lifespan of Filtrete filter is longer than competitors'filters. Homes smell fresh with air running across the Filtrete filters.
