Tools and Hardware Reviews of 3M Filtrete 1500 MPR, 6-Pack, Ultra Allergen Reduction Filter, 16x 25x 1
Customer Review: excellent filters
Summary: 5 Stars
The difference in air quality was substantial. I've used these filters for over a year. I have severe respiratory allergies, and they have made quite a difference. I stopped using them for a week to see the difference, and I'll never do that again. I highly recommend them!Customer Review: Too restrictive on equipment
Summary: 1 Stars
These filters are too restrictive for the heating and cooling equipment and cause a bigger load than needed on the blower motors. If you don't have allergies the cheapo filters are just fine, if you do have asthma or allergies there are way better options out there. Such as ultra violent bulbs which kills any bacteria that does pass through the filter. I have had a few service calls where the filtrate has caused a/c coils to freeze up due to low air flow over the coil, not a bad way to make [...]
Also there's a basic media filter which collects up to 40 times more partials than the one inch filter. Which is also spread over a larger surface area for less equipment stress.
Or an electronic air cleaners that trap up to 98percent of the pollutants that pass through. I also know Lennox makes an air cleaner with a built in ultra violent bulb. You can get a much better product than the 1 inch filters from a quality hvac contractor it might cost a little more up front but basically you will save the money in the long run. Filtrate are about [...]for one, you should change about once a month so over 4 years will cost double than an already superior product that's been on the market.
Get a straw and drink water from a cup, now pinch the straw and try taking a drink gets a little harder doesn't it? basically the same for these filtrate things
Customer Review: The Service Guy Says 'Yes[
Summary: 5 Stars
I can only say that the HVAC service man must like them. In his semi-annual calls he always comes down from the crawl space and says he used the 3M filter I left for him instead of the one he brought: "Yours is a much better filter."Customer Review: Filtrete Ultra
Summary: 3 Stars
Good price and item as advertised but arrived with 2 out of 6 filters bent out of shape. I didn't return since i could stretch them out and didn't want to go through the hassle.Customer Review: Fine; but overpriced

As clean filters, the product is not restrictive to air flow. Filters will become restrictive if they are not changed when needed. We say filter life is approximately 3 months and this is an approximation. Filter life is actually determined by the user's living conditions and will vary for every user. To determine when the filter needs to be change, we suggest holding it up to the light. When you cannot see light through the filters, it will need to be changed even if it is before 3 months.
If you are concerned about airflow, you might want to use the Dust & Pollen filter, which has the lowest pressure drop. The capture rate of this filter is also lower. If you have a high velocity furnace with high fan speed, you may need to change the filters more frequently, every 1 1/2 to 2 months.
