Specifications???

How about some real filter specifications like MERV or FPR or MPR or CFMs rating specifications rather than "Packaging Info". Kind of ironic since 3M created MERV.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

flow arrow questionable
on June 30, 2018
Posted by: Chas

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I have purchases this style filter (does not have boxed edge). I have been using Filtrete since we moved into our house 10 years ago. I question the flow arrow on the filter. If you install it as recommended the filter element does not have support as the plastic grid is on the upstream side. I am concerned that the filter element will be pulled out of the frame. I cannot recommend this product as I just installed the filters. I will probably just replace them to have peace of mind.

Hello! Thank you for leaving your review. This filter is designed this way. We would recommend that you install it so that the flow arrows are pointed in the direction of the air flow. If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to connect with our team directly at 1-800-388-3458 M-F 8am-5pm CT. Thank you!

Air Flow arrow points the wrong way
on June 16, 2018

from Keller TX
Second package in a row where air flow arrow implies screen side on the inlet side of the filter. This can't be right - is it?

3M Changed Quality
on June 14, 2018

I have been buying these Basic 3M filters for years and when we built a new home, I continued to use this filter. Recently the look of the filters changed so I knew it had been re-engineered. Then the air returns with the new filters became very noisy and the filters were nearly being sucked into the duct. The cardboard seemed to be flimsy - (didn't take a micrometer to it but wish I had). The new style filters are noticeably smaller in both directions. Next time you re-engineer to cut costs, remember to account for the varying size of the lip on air return duct openings. Not all are 1".
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent filter with 1 flaw
on May 21, 2018
Posted by: Milkman
from Chandler, Ok
Gender:Male
Have used these filters for several, several years with excellent filtering results. Have 2 overhead return vents that I change the filters monthly. Now for the flaw...filter is about 1/4 inch short of stated measurement in both length and width. When the unit comes on the filter is sucked up to the metal framework with a loud popping noise.Irritating in the middle of the night when it is quiet!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Merv equivelant.

Been searching high and low for a polyester filter that flows as free as possible. Too many people get hung up on what the filter will filter out and forget that a furnace has to breath too. Otherwise the blower motor works too hard and is more apt to burn out as well as the a/c a-coil being more prone to freeze up. Do some internet research. My furnace has a static pressure issue ( more furnaces do than people realize) and wanted something better than the spun fiberglass filters that dont really filter- you can pour salt right thru them. This filter fits the bill... The merv 5 rating (3m equivelant of 100 in their rating system) is the only merv 5 that the big box stores sell in my area. Just wish they would go back to the standard 'boxed' framework that seals so much better.
Give them a try and see if you dont get better airflow thru your discharge vents and save on your bill sinc ethe blower dosent have to work so hard.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 16 month old baby girl. I have two filters I have to replace on my furnace unit. Since my little girl was born she has only been sick with a cold I think it's been twice. I think it's because of the help the filters play in what they capture and I want to say thank you for helping keep my family happily healthy. Thanks for your product and keep up the good work!
