Support on wrong side
on February 1, 2022
Posted by: Grammy49
from Lorena TX
Gender:Female
My unit was roaring and I checked filter, which I had replaced not too long ago. It was very hard to remove and was sucked up against fan. It was installed according to arrow, but the support was on the bottom side, not top to protect from fan. I changed filter and reversed direction. Will replace with another brand and style that fits and supports filter correctly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello. 3M has made a change to our Basic, MPR 300, MPR 600 & MPR 800 Filtrete Air Filters. The look of the filter may appear to now be backwards from what you have seen in the past. The new design will use polypropylene strands to support the pleats and are placed on the upstream side of the filter. The older design used expanded metal mesh and was placed on the down stream side of the filter. You will still want to follow the direction of the arrows on these filters when installing into your unit. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please connect with us directly at 1-800-388-3458 M-F 8am-4:30pm CT.

Not sized correctly
on June 11, 2020

from Davis CA
The Ace brand filter I was replacing dropped right out, no problem. I could not wedge this new filter in place, try as I might. Eventually bent it and taped around the now warped edges. How many different ways are there to measure filter size? Spoiler alert: there are two, correctly and incorrectly. 3M uses the latter method.

Only Last a Couple Weeks
on July 19, 2022
Posted by: DreaAZ
from Arizona
We were recommended by our HVAC guy to use a lower MERV count which led us to purchasing these filters. We’ve been using this style for a little over a year at this point. They seem to only last 1-2 weeks before they start whistling and we usually give in around week 3 and replace them because they are so loud. I just don’t think the structure of this particular filter is strong enough.

Backwards arrow
on December 16, 2020
Posted by: Tim A
from Cincinnati
Gender:Male
Wondered why it took so long to warm the house and seemed to cycle more than usual then this morning it cycled way too often and would not warm the house. Finally realized the arrow for air direction they printed on filter appears to be backwards because the point of arrow is on side without the extra netting that goes on the blower side. I can only hope no damage was done and it already cost me an unnecessary service call.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello – Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear of the confusion. In the past we have used metal mesh supports on the downstream side of our filters. We have designed a new polypropylene support material for these filters which supports the filter material from the upstream side. Please install the filter according to the air flow arrows. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please connect with us directly at 1-800-388-3458 M-F 8am-5pm CT.

Works Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer to use an HVAC air filter with a relatively low MERV rating, so as to avoid putting extra strain on the air-handling system. And low-cost fiberglass filters simply do not do an adequate job of removing dust from the air in my home. Filtrete's Clean Living filters are just right for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Social care is incorrect

Support screen on the WRONG SIDE when I bought the 300 last year. I installed it MY way , worked great
This year the support strands are on the CORRECT SIDE. You fixed the problem. Now tell people the truth.

Mrp 300 is a good choice.
on March 11, 2023
Posted by: Pete54
I just bought the mrp 300 because I wanted some air/dust filtration combined with optimal air flow draw from our furnace blower minimizing electrical draw to help keep our high efficiency furnace functioning properly to reduce our electric bill. Contrary to higher mrp rated filters that blowers weren't designed to draw air through causing our blowing to draw more wattage.
So far the filter seems to be filtering/functioning as expected.
