   I am very impressed with the construction of this filter and the filter material is also very good. I have done my fair share of air duct cleaning for my job, I will give you my opinion and most opinions for duct cleaners and HVAC tech vary to each person. First this being made in the US to me is a plus. The frame is cardboard and is sturdy enuff. The filter fabric has a cardboard and wire construction to help sturdy the fabric from bowing in this is important if the filter bows in to much it will make the cardboard frame warp and may not seal as well against the filter housing. I was mostly impressed with the filter material I like to do something called the light test with air filters. I put a light five to ten feet a way from the filter, you can normally tell the quality of the filter by how much detail between the filter and the light you can make out, the more you can see the less partials it is going to trap. With this filter I really could not see anything other then light. This filter is rated at a MERV 11 which I was surprised by how dense the filter is. To me MERV 11 is a good middle ground the MERV 11 should not over restrict the air flow or put excess strain on the system. I would recommend this filters they seem to be well made.

   I’m not an HVAC professional. Some years ago I set out to educate myself on the subject of furnace filters, did a lot of online searching and spoke with a couple HVAC techs. The consensus is that the optimal MERV (Minimum-Efficiency Reporting Value–a measure of the efficiency with which filters remove particles of specific sizes) for home furnace filters is around 10. Cheap washable fiberglass filters can be down around 1 to 4 and you can go to the big orange or blue box hardware stores and pay an excessive amount of money for MERV 14 and up (–the impetus for my research into the subject). Generally, the minimum recommended is MERV 8. Contrary to popular perception, the primary purpose of a filter is to protect the heating and cooling equipment (you don’t want blowers and coils getting clogged with particulates), not for human comfort or health. There is a trade-off in that the higher the MERV, the greater the possibility (emphasize the word “possibility”–it’s not a given) that you will reduce the airflow through the furnace and thus reduce efficiency and increase power consumption. At MERV 8, you are filtering out pollen, dust mites, mold spores and other common allergens. You need to get to MERV 12 and up to begin to capture smoke and bacteria. Considering that a house is not a hermetically sealed capsule it probably doesn’t make much sense to think that a furnace filter is going to significantly alter air quality. Regardless which filter you choose, they should be changed every sixty to ninety days. These FilterTime MERV 11 filters appear to be good quality, sturdy, reliable and efficient. Perhaps Made in the USA does mean something. I would suggest that, all else being equal, price comparison is a useful consideration in differentiating among similar filters.

   They lost a Star only because on the first attempt, they sent the wrong size filters, 16x20x1, when I ordered/needed 16x25x1. But the return/replace process was very smooth, they immediately shipped the right filters, and gave me a 30 day window to return the 16×20’s to Kohls, no box or return packaging required. I received them 3 days later, on a Sunday no less, so they performed well even after an initial error. The filters themselves are what I expected, a little thicker fabric than the MERV 8’s I have been using, but now that its Ragweed season, it was time to step it up a notch to MERV 11 for extra pollen control. At less allergy sensitive times of year, I usually stay with the lower MERV rating as its easier on the HVAC blower motor.

   HVAC filters are a tough one to judge unless you have expensive, highly specialized equipment to test whether it’s filtering at the stated MERV/FPR/MPR rating. That aspect is one that most of us have to take on faith.On the plus side, this is manufactured by a US company who has had a 10+ year online presence. Not that that’s proof positive, but it’s a good sign.A quick look at their website shows that they manufacture an extensive line of filters for all types of applications – another excellent sign.## ProsThese are as sturdy as any other HVAC filter I’ve purchased, the measurements live up to the description, and it fits in my furnace properly.Something that is unique to this product (vs the 4 or so other brands I’ve used and seen) is the yellowish color to the incoming airflow side of the filter. I’m hoping that the dust & particle accumulation shows up more clearly on this color, as I always find myself comparing my used white-ish filters with the new ones to ensure that they’re really dirty!## ConsThis is relatively minor, but this is a little pricier than (at least some) other same-sized and MERV-rating filters. Of course, US-made products tend to be a little more expensive, but there can be positives to that as well.## OtherAmazon could have shipped only the sturdy cardboard box that the filters were already in, vs putting it in an even larger box. 😉

   This filtering is made well and would work well. The manufacturer has the box labeled incorrectly and I received the wrong filter. The box is labeled 16×25 but the filters are 16×20.

   However, since I usually get 8’s as versus 11’s, the system seems to be running a bit harder. We’ll see how it looks in another few months. But so far, decent.

   I know next to nothing about HVAC except how to turn it on and what size filters to get. These seem to be well made and from a company that produces a lot of different sizes. They are made in the USA, which is a plus for me. The weather is perfect right now so I’m not running heating or air but I know these will be getting a workout soon enough. Happy with my order!

   Measure your existing filters. If it’s a match these are well-made and work fine.
