Nordic Pure 20x25x1M14 6 Pleated Furnace Reviews Summary

Quality and Effectiveness

Pros:

• "These filters are a very good quality. I also breathe better when I install them."
• "Great filter. Doesn’t last as long as the 3m ones but they are built better and cheaper."
• "Good quality filter and a decent price."
• "These are great filters for the money compared to that other popular over hyped brand (Filtrete)."
• "Love the higher MERV rating for pollen this time of year."
• "Solid, quality construction."
• "Great value! It's currently being used in a small office environment and I could immediately notice an air quality difference."

Cons:

• "The box was printed for MERV 12 filters and there is a sticker on top that MREV 12 printing on the box that the filters packed inside are actually MERV 10."
• "This Nordic Pure filter does not measure the advertised size and even states it on each filter."
• "These filters put a notable strain on my furnace blower that I have never had with comparable MERV rated filters."
• "After using 4 filters I can say they do not perform too well, I get a lot more dust in the house compared when I used other better quality filters."
• "I am very disappointed in these Merv 12 filters, these simply do not do properly filter the AC air flow."
• "Unfortunately, these filters restricted airflow."
• "This brand new Merv 12 filter that is supposed to be effective against smoke, seems to do NOTHING to reduce the smoke inside the house."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "fits as it should, does as good or better than the most expensive filters at the local home improvement store for almost half the price."
• "They are also much cheaper."
• "Great filters at a great price."
• "Buying these in a 6 pack is also about 30% cheaper."
• "The price and quality is there."
• "Great price for the box and even better, the filters seem to have removed all smell of dust or smoke from neighbors fireplaces."
• "Its a great value for a nice filter."

Cons:

• "I know bidenflation is real but from 49.99 to over $80+ is insane...These prices are ridiculous."
• "I had hoped to find a quality filter at less than 3M pricing...Nordic Pure is not it."
• "It’s pricy but hopefully worth it."
• "I gave four stars for value for money only because they went up in price, just like everything else due to supply and demand."
• "The only down side to these filters is the price."
• "Unfortunately, our purchase arrived damaged."
• "So, the filters are shipped in a generic box so I have no idea what I got."

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "The filters came in a nice box and were not crushed or dented on arrival."
• "Fits my particular furnace."
• "These fit perfectly in my unit."
• "Filters fit just like the much more expensive 3M and Honeywell filters I have previously used."
• "Easy to install and fit runs true."
• "These are slightly smaller than the Honeywell filters, but I have the type of filter slot where you slide the filter in vertically, and have found them easier to get in and out."
• "Fits as described, well made and great value for money."

Cons:

• "These filters are not the right size. They are 19.5 x 24x5. There are gaps around the filter, so they don't fit snugly."
• "These are a little smaller in both dimensions than the ones I've been using. Those ones were very tight, and I almost couldn't get them in. These ones just have a small amount of space around them."
• "The sizes are not a problem. Or at least with our first order, as others have said, they are not perfect size."
• "These are supposed to be 20 X 25 X 1. The pair that I received both measure 19 1/2 X 24 1/2 X 1."
• "The filter is about a quarter inch short in length and width and when I went to install it, the filter got sucked into the return."
• "Listed as 20x25x1, but saying the actual width is 19.5 and it’s actually closer to 19.25 and it doesn’t fit my furnace."
• "They filter but are short on the dimensions so it does not fit snugly in the air intake."

Construction and Design

Pros:

• "The filters are made in the USA, which is a big draw for me."
• "Seems like a pretty sturdy filter. Definitely something better than what you'd get at a big box store."
• "These filters are sturdy compared to some others on the market."
• "Well constructed and a good deal."
• "Greatly built. Other brands including 4m the cardboard around filter bend and can here air sneaking thru the side. Not these filters their well constructed."
• "Quality of construction looks great, compared side by side to my last Filtrete and much more sturdy."
• "The construction of these filters is much better than 3M filters, which actually bow when my system is on."

Cons:

• "These filters look cheap and there's no details about filtration anywhere."
• "If you don't check these filters often, AND they have a loose fit in your air cabinet (they did in mine) the air is just going to bypass the filter and take all the dust with it through the gap."
• "The filters arrived undamaged and packaged very well as to avoid them becoming warped or damaged in that they wouldn't slide into place."
• "So when the fan starts, there is a small but audible thunk as the filter gets sucked up."
• "The filter is too restrictive that it is noisy when the heat and air is flowing thru the intake."
• "I have taped them on all 4 sides trying to keep them in place so they don’t bang when the ac comes on."
• "Every time the AC or heat comes on they bang hard against the top of the enclosure."
