I bought this filter almost 2 weeks ago. I was not really impressed by it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using these filter for over 12 years and change them religiously every 3 months. My opinion is that you cannot get a better filter for the money than the 1000/1085 series filter.
Whenever I leave my house for the afternoon or the entire day and I walk back in my house, it just smells so clean and fresh! I dont use candles or powders or air fresheners. All I do is replace my air filter every 90 days and my house smells good even with a little dog running around shedding hair all over the place!
I have used this product consecutively the past 2 times I changed my filter--change about every 3 months. I am glad I did with kids, cats, adults and allergies! I can trust this product and feel a little piece of mind that I am doing the best for my family! I trust Filtrete anyways but having this "Allergen Defense" option I was excited and happy to try!
We have pets and I've been using this filter for years. I put a 90 day reminder on my calendar so I don't leave them in too long. Our air intact is in the kitchen and low to the floor. It catches a lot of dust and pet hair. When possible, I'll purchase multi-packs to save a little money per filter.
