16x25x1 MERV Pleated Filters Compatibility Reviews Summary

Filter Quality

Pros:

• "The filters are great quality."
• "Good quality filter for the price static pressure was less with this filter than other Merv eight filter’s easier on the HVAC blower which definitely saves you money."
• "These filters are of a good quality and hold up well."
• "These high quality 3M filters are great at keeping little particles out of our air system, and are also good at filtering out allergens from our many trees outside."
• "Pleasantly surprised as to the quality of these filters. Yes, they're just basic filters, but sturdy enough construction that includes wire mesh and cross bracing to prevent over-flexing and movement within the return cavity/ opening."
• "These filters appear to be well made and heavy duty."
• "These Crisp brand filters are the highest quality filter I have ever used."

Cons:

• "They have no tabs on them to gasp and pull them out. This makes removing them when it’s time to replace much more difficult."
• "None of the filters lasted more than a week before falling apart."
• "Like many people have said, every filter was damaged."
• "These are cheap filters, not very well made and the filter corrugation is pretty bad."
• "I'm a little skeptical about these filters just because they are so much less expensive than the MERV 8 filters I normally pick up at your local home improvement stores."
• "Filters came in broken. Doesn’t look like it is from shipping but more like from poor manufacturing."
• "The filters look like a kid put them together."

Filter Fit and Size

Pros:

• "We noted that the Crisp filters are slightly smaller than the 3M filters, so we expect that they will be easier to insert and remove from the HVAC unit."
• "Fit like a glove in my Honeywell 16 x 25 x 4 filter box which formerly housed 2 electronic air cleaner cells, until the until no longer worked."
• "These filters fit perfectly and are more sturdy than the ones I currently use."
• "Fit perfectly into 12 x 12x 1 furnace filter support frame. Works just as well as a more expensive 3M filter at a fraction of the price, making monthly filter changes more economical."
• "These filters are an exact fit and work well."
• "Such a hard size to find (14x18). These fit perfectly in my unit."
• "These filters easily match the quality of more expensive filters, and they beat the socks off the prices in big box stores."

Cons:

• "I have bought the same size from other companies so I was shocked this 16 x 20 x 1 doesn't fit. Its larger than the slot 16 x 20 x 1 slot."
• "The filters are NOT 16x24x1 as described in the heading. The size is smaller."
• "I wasted my money because I can no longer return it. Do not purchase. It is not the actual size and it will not fit your unit."
• "It was extremely hard to squeeze this filter into the space."
• "These come up short on all 4 sides and fit super sloppy."
• "The fit is too loose and some dust is found collecting on the clean side of the filter."
• "The filters arrived bent from bad packaging or from shipping."

Filter Durability

Pros:

• "Way more sturdier than the filtrete filters."
• "These filters are outstanding and very reasonably priced."
• "They fit great and work like a furnace filter should work."
• "They are well-marked to indicate size, direction of air flow, and a space to write in the installation and replacement dates, which is helpful when it comes time to change them."

• "The cardboard split at glue seams on every filter. I’ve never had this issue with other filters."
• "These filters were slightly smaller than the measurements of 14x20x1 so when we installed them they would move back and forth every time the air came on."
• "These filters don't filter a thing! Do not waste your money."
• "Very low quality, not worth saving money, I’ll buy some good quality even I have to spend bit more."
• "These things are like paper mache and super cheap quality."

Filter Packaging and Shipping
