The filter was exactly what we had been looking for. Discovering that the MERV rating system had replaced the HEPA filter ratings made our choice imperative that we obtain a filter of the correct dimensions with a MERV 13 rating to protect us from as much as possible from particulate matter.
I was able to easily find the correct size of filter on the website and I love that the filters are made in the USA! After having thick smoke from forest fires, I ordered two replacement filters and they arrived in about 1 week. I installed one as soon as they arrived and it has worked very well!
Filter is 1/2" smaller than was is displayed on product.

The product description is 16x25x4, even in what was sent here, yet the actual size is less, hence the filter does not fit tightly in my furnace. So I had to shove a 1/2" piece of wood next to the filter to get it to fit properly. Why produce a smaller filter than what is advertised- save money I guess- cheap trick. The filter itself is also much lighter than my previous Filtrete, so again cheaper lower quality product.
My only problem is that The filters are about 3/8 of an inch narrower and a half inch less in height then what was original. It will work but Has to be put in carefully. I did get the order about four days before they said I would, which was nice, because after all the smoke in the west I really needed to change the filter soon. It seems to work well.
I wanted a filter that would fit where the Honeywell 16x4x20 fit before. This filter was barley 4 deep. Pleats not evenly spaced and many not glued on the edges. No way would a leaky thing like this pass a MER 13 test. Would not recommend to anyone.
