FilterBuy 20x20x1 Pleated filters produced Reviews Summary

Quality and Construction

Pros:

• "These are a better quality at a reduced cost from Amazon when compared to what I buy locally."
• "I change my filter monthly and these are the best I’ve ever tried."
• "Product is as described and good quality for price."
• "These are the best, sturdiest, well made furnace filters I've ever bought."
• "The filters are well made, hold up well and work just great."
• "These filters are made well and definitely filter as they should."
• "The items are of sturdy construction and were delivered without any damage."

Cons:

• "Poor quality control and poor customer service when I just asked for a single filter to replace the bad one."
• "The four filters were packaged together. They came in smashed even though the box it came in was intact."
• "It is either terrible glue or someone was drinking a soda and spilled it over several of them. I had 3 of 4 filters sticking together."
• "I've ordered these for quite some time and changed them on a schedule, however the last batch of 4 I received seem to be of lower quality."
• "The quality has gone down, the filters are getting much cheaper quality and workmanship."
• "Order these filters routinely. Normally good. This set came deformed and cells were bunched-up and mashed within the build (not damaged by shipping)."
• "Unlike other firms these were wrapped in plastic and two filters are bent/damaged will make it harder to slide into tight space and perhaps affect airflow."

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "We replaced our super dirty filter and put this one in almost a week ago. It fit just fine and was easy to install."
• "Great fit. Not sure why the negative reviews about the size difference. The item has to be a bit smaller than the hole it’s supposed to fit inside."
• "Both fit in the units just fine."
• "These filters seem good quality, fit well and last."
• "The sizing is correct to the specifications (which isn't always the case, sometimes filters fit snugly and you have to force them into place)."
• "Nicely packaged, perfect fit."
• "This filter is the perfect fit for my 20x20 AC in house filter."

Cons:

• "Not a snug fit on ceiling return vents. The filter moves and makes noise when AC Unit turn on or off."
• "They are not actually 20x20x1, but smaller."
• "They were a tad small in size and whistled really bad each time furnace kicked on."
• "Seems like a good performing filter, but cut a bit too small with the 20x20x1 filter, so it makes a whistle sound when the air runs."
• "As everyone has specified the actual size is slightly smaller than 'advertised.'"
• "I specifically chose this filter because the description shows the dimension as 19.75 x 19.75. When I received the filter, they are actually 19.5x19.5."
• "These are way too small for my 20x20 filter grill. Made it work with tape."

Delivery and Packaging

Pros:

• "Arrived the next day. Amazon has made this simple."
• "Overnight delivery with prime....a great plus."
• "Delivered fast and look nice, thx!"
• "The filters arrived well-packed and not damaged in any way. Correct size."
• "This was a package of four filters for my AC unit. I ordered them one day and received them the next. They came in great condition and fit perfectly."
• "The last shipment arrived packaged in a box, with no damage."
• "Arrived earlier than expected. Nicely packaged."

Cons:

• "The filters came destroyed, I am not sure if it was during shipping or not but two separate packages of filters showed up damaged."
• "First time I purchased this was back in April of 2019 and the filters came pretty banged up."
• "Mine came crushed in one corner so Amazon could maybe put them in a bigger box or something with at least a little padding on edges."
• "Filters arrived with two filters having corners damaged. The shipping box was crushed on one corner."
• "SEE PHOTO. Oversized box allowed the filters to be crushed about 25% of each filter."
• "Ordered a 4 pack and they arrived well packaged although 2 were slightly bent."
• "Delivery was 2 days late. Probably not the sellers fault. One of the filters had some slight damage (crushed corner)."

Value and Cost

Pros:

• "Overall, for half the price of the popular name brand filters, these are now my go-to."
• "These filters seem to be doing the job they are meant to do, and at a good price."
• "We are getting these filter on subscription for half the price, delivery to our door, every 2 months."
• "Price was very reasonable for a MERV 8 filter."
• "If you are looking for not too expensive air filters these will meet your needs. Fast shipping and fit perfect."
• "These are not expensive and very easy to install."
• "Significantly cheaper than filters from the 'big box' stores, and I cannot tell any difference in quality or ability to filter."

Cons:

• "The home would no longer cool to desired night time temp."
• "I continued to use these up until a few months ago as they increased the price."
• "This 4-pack is more expensive then other 'generic' 19.5x19.5 filters, and I could have gotten 6-pack for the same price."
• "The price has gone up but then what price hasn't gone up."
• "They are more expensive, but do the job efficiently."
• "Does not allow air to pass through easily. My heating bill jumped $50/mo after using these."
• "Don't buy filters from Filter Buy, you WILL be disappointed."
