[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nominal size of HVAC filters is a problem for some users. The problem is made worse by the lack of standardization in return air grille sizes. For example, filter manufacturers print 18"X18" on a filter, but the nominal size can make it impossible to use them in a return air grille, if the builder bought cheap odd-size grilles. For the past two decades, I have had no problem with the Filtrete size in my house. Not true for other filters I tried. I have a large return air grille that I have to tape two 18X18 together to use. 18X36 is not a common size to find and I do not think Filtrete makes this size (with 18X24 the largest I could find). Once I bought another big-name brand. After taping the two together, the length of the filter was too short.
I have no idea what to do with this BETTER AND HIGHER END filter... this is the first time a 16 x 20 x 1 inch filter purchased at the local hardware store DOESN'T FIT. I have an AC unit with a more precise slot in which to insert the filter. No matter how I try, it just won't slide down the frame as required. I can't return the unit for a lower grade filter because I didn't save the receipt.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality product at competitive price. I have tried a number of different products over the years . Filtrete outperforms them all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best filters I've ever bought. It helps me to keep my house cleaner than ever. I replace them every time it recommends. Well worth the money in the benefits you receive from them
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have allergies or are sensitive to allergens, this filter is a must. It has changed how I breath year round! It is the only filter we buy now. Would definitely recommended for anyone who has pets as well!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] AFTER A A/C TECH CAME OUT AND EXPLAINED THE IMPORTANCE OF USING A HIGHER MERV RATING AND SHOWING ME IF YOU DO NOT HOW MUCH DUST COLLECT UP INSIDE MY UNIT I NOW USE AT LEAST A MERV 11 AND I CANNOT BELIEVE IN ONE MONTH HOW MUCH DUST I KEPT FROM ESCAPING!
