Been using these filters for about 2 years now. Just ordered more and got them fast. Slightly smaller than the 14x14 return vents that I have in the ceiling. I put some box tape around them to seal them and it works. My old filters were a name brand sold in big box stores and didn't work as well as these filter do and they cost more for a lesser merv rating. My vents were getting dirty. I wish that they would make these filters true to size so that they would fit properly in the vents so I wouldn't have to use box tape. Old filters lasting me about 1.5 mos. these filters 2 to 3 months in this 70 year old house with no insulation. I would recommend anyone with breathing issues to try these filters. They helped me and kept the stuff floating around this old house filtered pretty good. Less dust and dirt. also have a NUWAVE air purifier. Don't change and clean filters as much. Between the both I can breathe and sleep better Try these filters, you will return to purchase them again. Oh, make sure that your system can handle the higher rated filter, as it has more restriction of air movement due to the way that is made to trap so much in the air as it passes through the filter. The higher the MERV, the more air restriction. If it can you won't regret purchasing them. You will be surprised just how much this filter traps and takes out of the air that you breathe.

Appears to be just as great as more expensive brands. They aren’t individually wrapped which means they can collect dust prior to being installed. I just kept them in the tight fitting box they came in. Other than that, great product.

Everyone should replace filters every 3 months, regardless of how dirty they appear. I choose MERV11-13 filters for personal preference, but MERV8 is more than adequate for nearly every home.With that said, the price point for these filters is enough to justify the 5-stars. If you’ve only got one filter to replace, this 6-pack is enough to maintain your filter changes for a year and a half, and at nearly half the cost of any other options. And made in the USA to boot.Depending on your geographic location, significantly less than MERV8 is still suitable, and in those cases there may be cheaper options.For the homeowner who diligently maintains their home’s systems, and prefers the upper quality filters, this is the no-brainer purchase.

I normally use Filtrete 1500 filters. However, I have several returns that are 14x14, and the Filtrete gets rather expensive, as these smaller filters are the same price as larger ones.These aerostar filters seem to be excellent, with one small exception. As noted in the description, their size is 13-3/4 square, rather than the filtrate 13-13/16 square. The small difference in my returns is that the Filtrete fits tightly to the top of the outer cage, whereas the Aerostar is loose in the cage. More difficulty closing the cage, and a slight "bump" in the night when the furnace kicks on, and the Aerostar filter flies to the top of the cage. They do seal, they simply make a sound before they do. This might not be the case for all 14" cages. I am satisfied with these filters that are Merv 13, USA made, and considerably less expensive than the 3M Filtrete.I don't fully know how to evaluate the pressure drop across the filter. It's not clear that the total material area (including pleats) is as great as the Filtrete. However, the pressure drop is not only dependent on the area, but also on the material used for the filter. Regrettably, no one that I've seen publishes a pressure drop versus air velocity (which is easy to measure). The pressure drop is important both for the current draw (and thus temperature) of the furnace fan, and for making sure that, during A/C times, all the Freon evaporates at the air handler, rather than letting liquid Freon enter the compressor, where it removes bearing oil.
