Installation
Pros:
"Pretty easy to install and now I don't have to do the old filter thing."
"The guy just gave me the kit at no charge. It was easy to install and now it will be much easier to change the filter."
"This product assembled very easily. Once the old media is removed, no more combs, and heavy casing. The new filter expands open and slides into place."
"The new upgrade kit was very easy to install and the new filter slides right in."
"This thing is foolproof to install--just six metal parts and they're impossible to assemble incorrectly."
"Very easy to assemble and install in my 2200 Filter enclosure."
"It's a tool-free installation--30 seconds to snap the parts together and slide into the existing filter box."
Cons:
"I found it difficult to orient and properly install the filtration."
"Just bought a new house, had one of these, took me an hour to get this filter in with all the combs-broke some of the plastic ends trying to get them to fit in place."
"Be careful putting the comb in because the tips that hold it in place break easily."
"Insertion of #213 media onto rails was tricky, top and bottom hard to align at the same time to slide in properly."
"These are nice filters, but be aware that the filter holder design itself, may result in a frustrating 15 minute installation."
"The installation is VERY easy, just snap together a few steel pieces and side it in."
"It's a little bit of a challenge to install in my set up but it works very well, filters out dust excellent."
Quality and Performance
Pros:
"First thing I noticed, after cleaning the fan, was, after a few months, NO DEBRIS on the fan."
"Although the filter media for the new-style costs more it's supposed to do a better job of filtering."
"The filter was a bit more expensive than the previous one but he also said it was a better quality."
"Good price. Slightly thinner filter, but changed regularly and seems to work fine."
"Best quality to use; does take some patience to swap out the old but once completed, works great (rated for 12-18 months)."
"The quality of the new media is noticeably better. Upgrade, is my advice."
"This kit dealt with our problem, now we can install a filter that fits and doesn't allow air to just blow by unfiltered."
Cons:
"The fabric made my skin itch and break out in hives. Will not be buying again."
"The filter seemed to be un-damaged but no question it had been already opened and should have been sold as an open box item."
"Original product held the product together w string types along sides. New product uses ribbon type affixed along top of ribs, and interferes with securing product in frame."
"they must be making them from cheaper materials.material rips easily, does not have the same fibrous texture as original."
"All in all, not sure i'd buy these again - but they were half the price or two of these filters for the price of one aprilaire filterfwiw."
"The most recently purchased filters have visibly fewer (or no?) fibers embedded and are very prone to separate or tear at the folds."
"As another reviewer pointed out, these filters are no longer reinforced with strands of fiberglass and are so flimsy they tear when installing them."
Brand Authenticity
Pros:
"Great filters at a great price. These were genuine Aprilaire OEM filters that were shipped, and made a difference immediately."
"It is in fact a genuine Aprilaire filter just as described."
"My kit included the authentic Aprilaire 213 filter (no knock-off brand, as some others claimed)."
"This is a new, genuine Aprilaire filter."
"Good price for two Aprilaire OEM filters."
"The Aprilaire 201 filters I received from amazon.com appear to be the same as the genuine Aprilaire 201 filters I previously purchased from a local dealer."
"Bought filter made by the manufacturer of the air filter unit. Of course it fit perfectly and seems of higher quality than off-brand filters I have bought in the past."
