We purchased a 2 pack 6 months ago and immediately saw a difference in the dust that normally accumulates on furniture in Las Vegas. I am ready to purchase another 2 or 4 pack...
I have used this filter for 12 years. It is so efficient that it greatly reduced the dust accumulation in the house. It also reduces the allergic reactions.
I noticed a while ago that there is a huge difference between the less expensive furnace filters and Filtrete brand. The Filtrete filter picks up the dust/dirt/particles that turn the filter black which indicates (before it is actually black) that it needs to be changed. I check the filter, which has a place to put the date inserted, after 3 months, and, often it can remain a few more weeks. I feel confident that Filtrete filter works, even though it can be a bit costly. Good to buy in bulk and/or on sale.
I have used this filter in two different returns in our house for many years. I don't understand why you would buy a filter that does not look like it would stop dust from passing through. We have 3 dogs, so our filters get a workout.
My landlord usually bought the regular filters, which are fine, but given the problems in the house, I bought and used these instead. They really do make a huge difference.
I have used these filters all year now, and compared to the previous years when I used a generic brand, I have not had bronchitis, which I get every year! I am so happy that I can breathe better now, and I truly believe these filters minimize my coughing episodes.
