I just wrote a review for a competing brand rated MERV 13. These are MPR 1500 and only MERV 12, but they FAR outperform the other brand. These have more pleats and do a much better job of filtering out stuff. I developed sinus issues within a few days of using the other brand. After a month, I switched back to these. Within three days I was fine again. I'm sticking with these.

High-Performance Air Filters for Cleaner, Healthier Air"Introduction:The Filtrete 20x25x1 AC Furnace Air Filter (MERV 12, MPR 1500) is designed to improve indoor air quality by trapping allergens, dust, and other particles. With a CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly designation, it’s ideal for homes where clean air is a priority. I tested this filter over a 3-month period in a household with pets and allergy sufferers to assess its performance and durability.Pros:✅ Effective Filtration: The MERV 12 rating captures a wide range of particles, including pet dander, pollen, and smoke.✅ Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification: Provides peace of mind for allergy sufferers by improving indoor air quality.✅ Electrostatic Technology: Attracts and traps particles efficiently, outperforming non-electrostatic filters.✅ Durable Construction: Pleated design offers a large surface area for filtration, lasting up to 3 months as advertised.✅ Easy to Install: Fits snugly into the 20x25x1 slot without gaps, ensuring proper airflow and filtration.Cons:❌ Higher Cost: Premium performance comes at a slightly higher price compared to basic filters.❌ May Reduce Airflow in Older Systems: Some older HVAC systems may experience reduced airflow due to the higher filtration level.Performance and Usability:The Filtrete filter performed exceptionally well, noticeably reducing airborne dust and improving air quality within days of installation. Allergy sufferers in the household experienced less irritation, even during high-pollen seasons. The filter maintained its effectiveness throughout the 3-month lifespan, with no visible sagging or loss of structural integrity. Installation was simple and secure, ensuring optimal operation.Comparison:Compared to lower-rated filters, such as MERV 8 or MERV 10 options, the MERV 12 rating provides superior filtration for finer particles, making it a better choice for households with allergies or pets. While HEPA filters may offer slightly higher filtration, they are typically more expensive and not always compatible with standard HVAC systems.Who Is This For?:This filter is ideal for households with asthma or allergy sufferers, pet owners, or anyone looking to improve indoor air quality. It’s particularly useful during allergy seasons or in areas with high pollution levels.Conclusion:The Filtrete 20x25x1 AC Furnace Air Filter delivers excellent performance for improving indoor air quality. Its asthma & allergy-friendly certification and effective particle capture make it a worthwhile investment for health-conscious households. While it may cost more than basic filters, its durability and effectiveness justify the price.

I think that Filtrete makes the best filters. These filter out the tiniest particles, and they are decent air filters. I'm not sure if it's better to have higher MERV filters to get tiny particles, at the expense of making the HVAC work harder and move less air, or filters with lower MERV numbers that get most large particles but allow more air flow.

I used to buy various MPR ratings of these Filtrete filters for our 25 year+ old A/C and heater unit until I determined these MPR 1500 seemed to be the right price/MPR cleaning rating for our needs here in Arizona. I had been worried that a higher MPR might put an undue stress on our A/C fan, so I settled on these 1500 MPR ones and didn't really notice a difference in how dirty the filter ended up after using it for 400 hours (about 3 to 4 months of operation). In the past I've used cheaper brands, as well as reusable ones, and I feel very satisfied that these are cleaning the air in our home at an optimal level for preventing dust and reducing allergens. They are very well built and could easily go more than 400 or 500 hours of use, but I think swapping them out every 400 hours, as I do, is the right thing to do for our health. They also cost the same as buying them at a big box store, and you can always be assured of buying the same exact ones by reordering when needed through Amazon.

It was a furnace filter so that is what I used it for. So far it works fine. I thought it was more expensive than it should be. It was shipped and arrived on time.
