About Filtrete 16x20x1 AC Furnace Air Filter
Overall Feedback:
94% positive
93% praised for improving indoor air quality, but 7% didn't notice a difference
Air quality improvement is important when choosing a furnace-filter, but it's also important to consider the filter's ability to keep the evaporator and other components clean.
After switching to this furnace filter, Ive noticed a remarkable improvement in the air quality in my home. As someone who suffers from seasonal allergies and lives in a dust-prone area, clean air is a top priority. This filter has done an excellent job of trapping airborne particles and allergens, making my indoor environment feel fresher and healthier.
I have noticed that the filter prevents small particles from circulating through the HVAC system, but at a high expense.

87% liked its compatibility, but 13% had issues with compatibility
The filter size is slightly larger than what I'm used to, but it fits snugly in the filter slot, reducing the chance of unfiltered air slipping around the edges.
One of the standout features of this filter is its compatibility with various furnace models. I was initially concerned about finding the right size, but the filters measurements matched exactly with the specifications for my system, which made the installation process incredibly easy. It slid right into place without any adjustments, and I didnt have to worry about cutting or forcing the filter into the slot.
I upgraded my air intake to use 3 large filters for good airflow.
84% found it easy to install and replace, but 16% had difficulties
The installation process couldnt be simpler. The filter is designed to fit perfectly into my furnace model, with clear markings indicating the correct airflow direction (important for proper function). It slides into place effortlessly without needing any special adjustments or tools, making it ideal for people who arent particularly handy.
It's a little harder for me to fit the filter in/out of the narrow space on the HVAC units.
I noticed that the filters almost got sucked into the inlet and I imagine that once they get dirty they will get sucked into the inlet. This indicates that the installation process was not easy and I faced difficulty while installing it.
During installation, I faced difficulty as the filters almost got sucked into the inlet. I am concerned that once they get dirty, they will be sucked in as well.
88% liked the long-lasting filter, while 12% thought it needed frequent replacements
With the fan on at all times, these filters last for a couple of months.
I am satisfied with the product and will buy it again despite its cost.
Ive been using these furnace filters for several months now, and Im extremely impressed by their longevity. When it comes to furnace filters, Im always looking for one that not only provides excellent filtration but also lasts longer without needing frequent replacements. This filter has truly exceeded my expectations in terms of durability and performance.
The filters stopped working in less than 2 weeks and were not individually wrapped.
93% appreciated its high filtration efficiency, while 7% thought it was mediocre
Ive been using these furnace filters for a few months now, and Im incredibly impressed with their filtration efficiency. As someone who is conscious of indoor air quality, especially with allergies and dust being an issue, I needed a filter that would do more than just "trap some particles." This filter excels at capturing even the smallest allergens, dust, and pollutants, and Ive noticed a marked improvement in air quality since installing it.
Buildup of dust and dirt in the evaporator can greatly diminish the efficiency of our air conditioner.
89% appreciated the quieter operation, but 11% didn't notice a difference
I haven't mentioned anything about the noise reduction of the furnace-filter.
I have used other filters in the past that were not as loud as this one.
Since replacing the old filter with this one, my electric bill has more than doubled.
