Product Description
In our opinion, this is almost as good as it gets for a disposable home furnace filter. The construction quality is top of the line. The filtering efficiency is outstanding. The Filtrete Micro Allergen 1000 has our second highest rating of 5 STARS. Please note that these Filtrete filters measure approximately 0.3 inches smaller than the stated size in order to conform to industry standards.

Electrostatic Design Captures More Particles
The 3M Micro Allergen Reduction Filter is made with both positively charged and negatively charged fibers that act like tiny magnets to attract air-polluting contaminants. Since particles in the air are either positively or negatively charged, they are attracted to and captured by the filter and kept out of your living space.Electrostatic filters, including the 3M Micro Allergen Reduction Filter, perform better than comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable/reusable filters, because they attract and capture the small, allergy-aggravating microparticles that non-electrostatic filters can't. Improves Indoor Air Quality
With indoor air a surprising two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, the 3M Micro Allergen Reduction Filter can make a difference in maintaining a healthier home environment by cleaning air with each pass through the filter. The 3M Micro Allergen Reduction Filter features a 1000 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR), which means it is able to capture large and small particles from the air, including household dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, and bacteria. Improves Efficiency
This allergen-reduction filter also keeps your heating and air conditioning equipment working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. It is recommended that you change the filter every three months. However, the effectiveness and life of the filter can vary and depend on the individual conditions in your home. What's in the Box

These are great- just be careful that too much filtration can OVERHEAT your heat and air units May 22, 2009

These are great- just be careful that too much filtration can OVERHEAT your heat and air units
I was using the Filtrete dark blue 1500 rated filters and thought they were great. But eventually I found the air flow was less and less and then it almost stopped altogether. I had to call my Heat/ AC guys and they told me that if I used the higher rated filter (1500 or so, different for each system), the one that 'stopped' more allergens/ dust/ etc, that these high rated ones fill up quickly with all the gunk the catch, and that they can slow down the air flow so much that it may cause your heat/ AC machinery to overheat and damage itself.
He switched me to the red Filtretes- they are rated 1000 and not 1500. If you truly need higher levels of filtration, make sure your heat/ ac system can handle it, and maybe you have to change the filters more often (the really highly rated filters grab EVERYTHING so all the dust etc builds up much more quickly and could block the air flow entirely in less time than say the red 1000 ones. So stay as low as you can on the ratings, but if you have to block extra things like dust or mites or allergens, ask your heat/ AC guy to tell you which filter to use, knowing it will capture this much dust/mites/ allergens, and how often you have to change it. Hope that helped, and good luck
ps I myself am going to ask them if i can use the higher rated filters- say the 1500s- if i switch them out much more often. we'll see.

This 6-pack is a very economical (cheap) way of buying filters. Especially because Lowes & Home Depot did not have my size (14x30) in stock. I got the medium-quality filtrete micro allergen because I wanted good filtration, but not the most expensive. They are perfectly suitable, with an indication of which side should face the intake, and how often they should be replaced (3 months). I'm happy :)

I've used these Filtrete air filters for several years in different houses and I am very pleased with them. Yes, they are pricey but if you're prone to sneezing fits (as I am), they're worth every penny. Supposedly, the filter media is fine enough to capture even wee tiny particulate matter, including smoke and smog.
In addition to breathing easier and filtering out nasty smells from your house (which are huge benefits), I've noticed that using these filters also helps keep the house and tabletops cleaner, and there's less need for that dreaded chore of periodic dusting.
Another significant benefit is the benefit to your heating and cooling equipment. With a central air system costing thousands and thousands of dollars, this is not a small benefit! These high efficiency filters do a fine job of keeping dirt and dust out of the blower housing in your HVAC system. The traditional fiberglass filters (those cheap blue filters) keep small animals and yard waste from entering into your HVAC, but little else. Ever look at a 20-year-old blower housing? Usually they're caked with lots and lots of fine dust. In addition to being gross, that can't be good for an electrical appliance.
I highly recommend these Filtrete filters and I change mine more often than the manufacturer's 90-day recommended interval. And I think they're worth every penny of their hefty price tag.

This review is not about the product (which I'm happy with), but the number of filters. Some of the other reviewers complained that they expected to receive 6 times as many filters as they ordered.
I just bought a package of 6 Filtrete filters from Amazon for $60.61. This is a good price, because I've seen these filters sold individually in hardware stores for at least $13. It appears that some of the reviews here may refer to purchases from other sellers associated with Amazon. In any case, I thought that I was purchasing 6 filters, and that's what I got. These filters are a lot more expensive than the cheapest furnace filters, so you should expect to pay somewhere in the range of $10 to $13 per filter.
Are they worth the high premium relative to cheaper furnace filters? I think that they catch more lint than cheaper filters, and that indicates that they are doing their job, but I haven't done any really objective comparisons of expensive and cheap furnace filters.
Works as intended May 14, 2009

We use quite a few of these each year at the office where I work. They're a pretty nice filter that puts out cleaner air that the cheap-o bargain basement filters that cost about half as much. To me, air quality is worth spending additional money on, since you can't grow new lungs. These are indeed 6-packs, so buy accordingly. Amazon sells them cheaper than the big box stores and ships them free, so you can't go wrong here. Recommended.
