Are the arrows reversed?

I bought these filters at Lowes looking at them and seeing the air flow arrows they look backwards because the air filter supports are facing intake, never seen that before.This AM WOKE TO A whistling sound coming from intake, not happy. I AM taking them back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello! We are sorry to hear of the trouble! The arrows should be installed in the direction of the air flow. We would appreciate the opportunity to gather more details from your filter, please connect with us directly at 1-800-388-3458 M-F 8am-5pm CT. Thank you!

Basic Pleated Filtrete design change question
on September 23, 2018
Posted by: Alan Rockwell
from Phoenix, AZ
Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Air Flow direction has been changed (redesigned maybe) with the a stronger stretched wires first and the pleated material second. In addition, the paper each is reversed. I installed them (I have two AC systems) and could see they worked just fine. My question is was this redesigned to improve performance or was this a mistake in the manufacturing process? Can you explain this new design?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unhappy with recent change to filters
on September 4, 2018

I always purchased the 3 pack Filtrete Basic Air Filters, but recently they changed the wire coils that wrapped throughout the filter with what looks like plastic thin strips that don't look secure. Sure enough, they aren't very sturdy. I had to replace 2 in one month due to bending in the cardboard trim and it caused the air passing through to whistle due to the bent cardboard. I always replaced my filters once a month, now I'm on my third filter within a month and half. Unsatisfied with new filter design. I would recommend the old 3 pack filters, not these with the new design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wasn’t sure about getting this filter but it went on quickly and I could tell a temperature difference in less than an hour! The smart phone reminder is a great idea I signed up right away.

Disappointed

Loyal Filtrete user. Changes to this one are disappointing. Now I see the comments about the air-flow arrows appearing to be wrong and how flimsy they fit in the frame. All true. Don’t think it will hold up long with summer runtimes of our a/c. Disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Almost useless now
on July 6, 2018
Posted by: BG E

I was hoping that I'd just bought a bad package of these but after reading reviews of other long time users, it looks like the quality has really dropped on these. I've been using this product for about 10 years and have been very happy with them. This last package contained filters that are too small to fit up in my ceiling intake. They drop down onto the grill and the air can be pulled up around the filter instead of going through it. If this is what I find in the store again, I'll be shopping for a different filter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
