Very good filter

I only need a filter for my AC — my heat is baseboard hot water — and these do a great job catching the dust and dirt and that seem to come from nowhere!

My trusty filter

I have been using this particular brand and type of furnace filter for decades! It seems to do a fabulous job of catching the gunk out of the air that comes through the furnace system. Two thumbs up from me!

Great Disposable Filters

Been using the 20x25x4 for multiple years now. Filters work great, I replace mine every 90 days in my house. Never had any issues or concerns about quality or construction of the filters.
I've seen many complaints about the 1" thick filters and while I understand their concerns; a 1" thick filter is old technology and should consider getting a larger filter box.
I find the complaints about the tabs holding the pleats in the filter where you may have to push a few back trivial. You're buying a MERV 11 equivalent disposable filter, again DISPOSABLE. It wasn't long ago when everyone was just using the blue fiberglass air filters.. There is a balance between retail cost and manufacturing cost. If they raised prices to appease everyone, they'd complain the filters are too expensive even though build quality is excellent!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello. 3M has made a change to our Filtrete MPR 1085 filters found at Lowes Home Improvement stores. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the demand of these filters, we have had to make modifications to our manufacturing which in some cases have caused a slight change to the filter. The new filters will not have the cardboard cross hatching and instead use a pinched-style frame. In keeping with 3M product quality assurance, the performance of the filter is not affected. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-388-3458. We are available Monday through Friday from 8:00AM to 4:30PM CST.

Does not fit

I bought 16x20x1 as is instructed on furnace. It was too wide for slot. Prev filter said actual size 15 1/2 x 19 1/2 x 1. I found this to be the standard for most other brands. However, the filtretes purchaded are actual 15 11/16 x 19 11/16. Very odd and slightly too big.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello. We apologize for the difficulty. 16x20x1 is the nominal size for this filter. The actual size is undercut slightly from this measurement. Unfortunately this size can vary manufacture to manufacture. We make a number of different sized filters but will list the actual size on the frame of the filter so you can find the exact size you are looking for. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please connect with us directly at 1-800-388-3458 M-F 8am-4:30pm CT.

Ronnielove is right. My filter measures .750” with a dial caliper.
The response to his review states the filter is 7/8”. Not true.

I'm pretty satisfied with this filter, although I really need to change it every month. There is no way I could extend it to 3 months.
I would recommend this to a friend!
