Overall Feedback:
80% positive
74% praised for improving indoor air quality, but 26% didn't notice a difference
There is no indication that the filtration efficiency of the 3M filter is more than double of the other filter with the same MERV rating, or that its resistance to airflow will be significantly less.
75% liked its compatibility, but 25% had issues with compatibility
Using a lower MERV rating allows for more air flow and less stress on the system, which will not burn out the motor as fast, as per my HVAC guy.
If you have a high efficiency furnace like me, these filters may end up getting sucked in and warped.
I have to force the filter into the vent as it is a tight fit.
78% found it easy to install and replace, but 22% had difficulties
I had to bend the oversized filter a bit to ensure proper installation.

I was surprised by the flimsy construction of the filters, which may indicate poor quality.
I have noticed that the 3M filter is more expensive than the Natural Aire filter, but there is no significant difference in their filtration efficiency or resistance to airflow.
75% appreciated its high filtration efficiency, while 25% thought it was mediocre
I doubt the filtration efficiency of the 3M filter as there is no evidence to suggest it is more than double that of the other filter, despite having the same MERV rating.
I have a high efficiency furnace and noticed that these filters may get sucked in and warped.
These filters may get sucked in and warped with a high efficiency furnace like mine.
The HVAC guy warned that these filters are not suitable for some furnaces as they do not allow enough air to pass through, which can cause problems.
73% appreciated the quieter operation, but 27% didn't notice a difference
Using a lower MERV rating allows for more air flow and less stress on the system, which will not burn out the motor as fast as my HVAC guy advised.
After installing the filter, the furnace started making a loud whistling sound.
