My opinion the quality control of these filters is non existent or the controllers are being paid off which is normal with goods made in Mexico. Poor quality - undersized and dangerous leak of filtration can lead to air system break down.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been buying these filters for 10 years and have loved the quality, what they catch and the cost for a 3 pack. I always get two packs to have 3 changes. I change them between 2 to 3 months apart regularly. However; since the change that was made in their actual "1" inch width NOT so satisfied with the 3 Pack anymore. They are so thin they whistle ALL the time and it is so annoying when trying to sleep. I haven't given up on Filtrete yet, I returned the unopen packs I had and purchased a 2 pack 1085 Micro Allergen Extra with a true "1" inch edge/rim. I sure hope they are quiet like the other filters used to be when they were thicker. Unfortunately they are twice as expensive. Love to see you change the thickness back and even you had to raise the cost just a little.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This filter really gets the job done.. I've noticed it caught some of the small dust and it caught the dust balls that was floating in the air along with the pet air. I'll surely recommend this filter to anyone!
Bought the same ones I have been for years, or so I thought. Went to install them only to find they shrunk them another 1/8" all the way around. The last ones the perimeter was very sturdy, these are junk. Had bend retaining tabs so they would stay in frame. The smaller size now allows more air the chance to bypass the filter. Hum didn't see the price of the new smaller package drop. Will have to find another brand now. Father has been a 3M stockholder since 1965, he was very disappointed to hear the change in quality.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Regardless of the frame time the length and width should be the same size. We also did not change the performance the filter provides. If our team can assist please reach out at 800.388.3458 M-F 8am-5pm CT so we can assist.
The latest batch, in a 3-pack, has beveled edges. This means that they do not fully fit the receptacle and are not held securely in place. They just wobble with the airflow.

I've used these filters for a while but quality control is slipping or a decision has been made to reduce the filter size. I use 2 18x18 filters in my air return. They fit well in the past but the last 2 packages I bought do not fit as well. I have to use tape to seal the gap in the middle. The new ones measure 17 1/2 x 17 1/2. Looking for another brand that fits better.
