The size doesn’t fit.

Run slightly bigger… doesn’t fit. I had to purchase brand. My disappointment is that I’m reading olds comments and reviews (about 2 years ago) and looks like the brand is not interested to fix this issue.

Runs Slightly large and Doesn't Fit

I cannot comment of how well the filter works but wanted to comment on the Fit. I purchased the 1085 Allergen Defense Air Filter in 14x14x1 , 14x30x1 and 20x30x1 sizes. None of them fit. I was able to squeeze the 14x14 sized filter by slightly bending one side but has to bend much more of the larger filters to force the fit. I previously had the basic Filtrete filters in the same sizes and they fit with no problem but I wanted to upgrade my filter. Unfortunately, the upgrades version is just slightly larger despite being the same sizes. I will return this product and either have to go with the basic filter or find a higher quality filter by a different brand .

Prepare to be Amazed!

I purchased this filter a few days ago. Before installing this filter, my husband was sneezing very often everyday. We were so amazed the first day, he did not sneeze at all; everyday since, it has been the same. I know a person would have a hard time believing it could work so well and so fast, but it is absolutely true. Thank you for making such a wonderfully made product.

Excellent filters

Been buying these for several years now, 1085 or 1085D, and wouldn't go elsewhere. We change every 4 months and they're catching everything we need them to.

Great value for the money!

This does exactly what is says it will do. With all the wildfire smoke, I was worried but this did a great job. The 1085 can not be beat for the price. I don't have severe allergies or asthma so I can't say how it does against those.
