Quality and Effectiveness

Pros:

  • "Filters exceed the quality expected and surpass the HDX brand."
  • "These are quality filters. I can tell because I'm breathing easier since having implemented their use."
  • "These filters are built very well and are similar quality as Nordic Pure which I ve been using from last 4 years."
  • "Quality-wise, they are just as good as the Filtrete filters I usually buy."
  • "Quality construction similar to other brands I've purchased in the past."
  • "These filters are well made and are merv 11."
  • "These filters work great and are an excellent replacement for the leading brand. They catch allergens and contaminants really well, will definitely be picking up more."

Cons:

  • "The specific dimensions may not fit all HVAC systems perfectly, requiring careful measurement before purchasing."
  • "Over time, high MERV filters get clogged with dust, restricting airflow which isn't good for your air exchanger."
  • "They are thinner than the ones I normally use. Definitely much less than 1 inch thick and very loose in air handler."
  • "Filters are constructed with a cardboard structure only on one side which makes them a bit more flimsy than others that we've used."
  • "They seem a little flimsy but I think it's because it uses recycled cardboard and we have high humidity here."
  • "The use of recycled materials raises a question about the durability and long-term performance of the filter."
  • "The pleats are not arranged straight or spaced evenly at all. And there are no dividers. The cardboard is just glued to the edges of the pleats."

Value and Cost-Effectiveness

Pros:

  • "It is an exceptional value as well."
  • "The savings that I get from this is exponential, and I'll definitely be more likely to change my filters on time every time."
  • "When comparing to other brands on the market I find these are priced fair making them a great value for my home."
  • "Overall, given the much lower cost, I am very pleased with these filters."
  • "These cost a bit more than the lower Merv rated versions but with the extra filtering capacity, it has been well worth it."
  • "These are highly rated and are more affordable than buying from my local store."
  • "For the price that the filters go for, I would definitely recommend."

Cons:

  • "But this part is IMPORTANT: MERV 11 will get clogged up with particles faster, so you need to change them more often (check them every month, definitely change them every 3 months)."
  • "Nothing really to set it apart from others except price."
  • "Came packaged sealed in one big plastic, would have been better if they were individual wrapped or packaged in a different way for storage after opening."
  • "If they do in fact need to be changed out more frequently, that pretty much wipes out any saving you'd get with these filters compared to name brands."
  • "They don't last quite as long as filters that aren't as fine a grade of filter."
  • "Every step up in filtration has a correlative drag on air flow."
  • "The cardboard is not as strong as the more expensive brand and so they bend inwards when the HVAC is running."

Fit and Installation

Pros:

  • "Installation is a breeze, just pop them in."
  • "The filters fit perfectly and do the job they are intended to do."
  • "The filter slipped right into the slot it goes into with no problem at all."
  • "Well, they fit perfectly, they are made using some recycled content."
  • "These filters fit perfectly into the slot."
  • "These filters fit, and are rigid enough to hold up and not collapse even without support guides."
  • "These filters fit my 16x16x1 register perfectly."

Cons:

  • "The sizing was a tad smaller than the ones I was replacing that fit perfectly."
  • "They came with minor damage of which most could be bent/worked back into shape but they are not perfect."
  • "This item appears to be adequate. However, it was short of the 14.20.1 dimensions I needed to properly fit my furnace."
  • "When I placed them in the casing, I immediately realized they were too small, a good deal smaller than the other brand I'd been using."
  • "This one does not fit at all. Make sure you need the 16x25x2 and not the 16x25x1 which is what I should have gotten."
  • "The filters don't fit in the space like they should."
  • "I could tell as soon as I slid it into position that it was way too loose."

Construction and Design

Pros:

  • "These are sturdy filters that have a wire mesh that goes throughout the fanned filter."
  • "Made in USA from a company in Texas."
  • "Great deal, these are Proudly made in America."
  • "They're sturdy cardboard framing accordion-pleated filtration."
  • "It's nice to get 6 at a time."
  • "These filters are produced here in the US, which is another big bonus in my eyes."
  • "Built to last using recycled cardboard helps reduce environmental waste."

Cons:

  • "They are intentionally slightly smaller than the size of the bay that holds your filter."
  • "The cardboard frame on the filter in my opinion needs to be a little thicker."
  • "They are good filters. I only wish they were individually wrapped and not wrapped all together."
  • "The build is solid and better than the more expensive name brand, honestly. However, the pleats are not evenly spaced."
  • "Made in the USA from recycled cardboard, it shows a commitment to sustainability."
  • "The use of recycled materials raises a question about the durability and long-term performance of the filter."
  • "Its construction feels robust, with ample support on all sides."
