About Filterbuy 20x24x1 Air Filter MERV 8, Pleated HVAC AC Furnace Filters
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
94% liked its compatibility, but 6% had issues with compatibility
The evaporator fan is oversized to handle the added pressure drop of MERV 8. However, I suggest checking how much this will diminish the supply airflow from the AC/heating system.
The filter doesn't fit as snug as my previous brand filter.
I ordered filters for the next few months, but when I received them, I found that it was not what I had ordered. The description was unclear and I had to read further down to learn that it was not 8 pleated filters but 2. This is a negative experience with compatibility of furnace-filters.
91% found it easy to install and replace, but 9% had difficulties
I faced difficulty installing the filter and it fell into the furnace vent. It took about an hour to fish it out.
I noticed that the filters were slightly bent upon arrival, which may complicate installation.
The filters arrived slightly bent, which could make installation difficult.
My unit's filter opening requires a filter size of 1x20x24, but the one I received was too small at 3/4x19.5x23.5.
90% liked the long-lasting filter, while 10% thought it needed frequent replacements
I have found that using a MERV 8 filter allows the blower motor to do less work and last longer.
I had to use hot melt glue to attach cardboard spacers onto the sides of the filters, suggesting that they may not be durable enough.
My filter size is smaller than the filter opening of my unit.
I had to overcome the issue of bent filters, but now I can enjoy my expensive 8 pleated filters.
93% appreciated its high filtration efficiency, while 7% thought it was mediocre
I noticed that the second batch of filters had black stains on them, which were inside plastic wrap.

96% appreciated the quieter operation, but 4% didn't notice a difference
When the HVAC system is on, the filters rattle around due to too much play.
