Customer Review: Sometimes things really do work like they claim!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Amazon review and the difference these filters and purchase of a humidifier(vornado evaporative cool) have made warranted it. We all have allergies in our home from dust mites, dust, pollen mostly. We don't smoke and we have no pets. Typically despite the fact all year long that we take allergy medicine we are usually still dealing with some sort of allergy symptom like runny/stuffy nose and so on. This winter however my son (9 yrs old) for the last few weeks or more started coughing all the time. No extra cough medicine etc would touch it so my research began to find a fix. I did a ton of research and read more reviews than I think I ever have first to work on a humidifier to put some moisture in our home since we live in the cold midwest. I decided on the Vornado whole room evaporative humidifier and sorry Amazon, but I bought it for much less at Bed Bath and Beyond. It does have fan noise, however it is pretty amazing home much of a difference it made for him in lessening his coughing fits at least as long as he was in his room anyway. So, I'll need to get a 2nd one to handle our upstairs as my eyes/nose are pretty dry, but anyway back to the filters...
Once I noticed the humidifier which has filters (not as good as these however) was working it got me to thinking maybe the reason the allergies are bad are really due to air quality so I started my research on what to do about that. The EPA website had some pretty good information on biological contaminants and symptoms etc... I decided buying an air cleaner would be too large of an expense to cover all the rooms in our home and the filter cost, wow! If I had to go that route I'd just buy a big box fan or two and mount filters on them for a lot LESS money as that's pretty much all they are anyway and would blow a lot more air too and cover more area. To test my theory on air cleaning I decided to buy one of these filters locally to test and see if it made any difference for any of us especially my son who seems to be having the hardest time of it this winter and does during the summer as well with allergies.
I bought that filter on Sunday around noon, put it in and turned the fan on my heat unit so that the fan ran nonstop regardless of when the heat turned on/off to really pull air through and clean and left it like that for 10 hrs, turned it off and next morning turned it on again and ran the fan from 7am until 10 that night. On Sunday within about 3 hrs or so it occured to me that I wasn't hearing him cough nonstop anymore, amazing..but figured okay let's see what he's like in the morning etc and must admit I'm still going to monitor this over time yet. Monday morning I asked him how he felt and he looked surprised and said I think I feel better and no coughing. My husband and I also thought we felt better and I wasn't having the itchy eye feeling and post nasal drip issue and slight headache that generally greats me in the morning and persists thru the day. My daughter who generally does a lot of clearing out snot in the morning again despite a good allergy medicine quit doing that.
Oh...and I had cheap fiberglass 1 month filters in our furnace as I believed the heating repair guy I asked a few years back what he thought and he said "they are all the same one just costs more", well I respectively disagree w/ that statement.
So, like I said it's only been a few days and I've not kept my fan on my heat unit running today at all although I have noticed a few sniffles here (kids on a snow day here) and there in us and a couple coughs from my son, so I think I need to run that again for maybe a week or so to clear out the crap in our closed up for the winter house...but long story short it is working. I will also likely be replacing these monthly or maybe later on every 2 months I would bet but that is a small price to pay to feel well and buying them in bulk should help.

 By removing dust from the air, the filter also reduces strain on your furnace and air conditioner, helping to keep them running efficiently (view larger). |
The 3M Ultra 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 Ultra 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 Ultra allergen reduction filter can make a difference in maintaining a healthier home environment by cleaning air with each pass through the filter.
The 3M Ultra allergen reduction filter features a 1500 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, bacteria, and other allergens. This high-performance filter meets American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest Health House Program?s indoor air quality guidelines.
Improves Efficiency
This high-performance 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.
