BNX 16x25x1 MERV 8 Air Filter 6 Pack - MADE IN USA - Electrostatic Pleated Air Conditioner HVAC AC Furnace Filters - Removes Dust, Mold, Pollen, Lint

I have been using this item since a good 3 weeks and it is as good as what youd buy from a department store. Fits perfectly.

We get 10 air filters for an affordable price. On the package it mentioned we need to change the filter for every 3 months, so we are almost good for 2.5 years when buy these air filters. There are arrows on the sides of the filter indicating the air flow, and you can install them accordingly. Comparable to the name brand filters in functionality with much lesser price and made in USA, what else do you need.

My BNX air filters were easy to install, worked very well keeping my furnace and air conditioner filtered for cleaner air in my home. I would say for the price of these filters, they do as well or better than higher priced brands. My order came quickly, without any issues.

A/C filters vary widely between the WAY they are made, how MUCH they filter out, and their size and shape. Once you know what size and shape you need (in my case, 16-inch-by 20-inch by 1-inch thick), you then have to decide the MERV rating you want (how much they filter out - or, inversely, how much they leave IN the air that goes through your A/C unit). The higher the MERV number, the more it will filter out, the less it leaves IN the air. Your A/C fan motor will thank you for using higher MERV-rated filters, as will your lungs. Theres one catch, though -- if the MERV rating is TOO HIGH, the fan motor MAY have to work harder to pull the air through it, so unless your fan is RATED for MERV 13 or higher, dont get anything higher than a MERV 12 (By the way, the highest rating is MERV 19 - and thats a highly-priced specialty filter). Most people who have extremely bad allergies or immune systems that are compromised will want an 11 or 12, or 13 or 14 if their furnace fan can take it. An average system is great with a 7 or 8 MERV. During the summer, I use a 7 or 8; during MY allergy season, I use an 11 or 12 -- I change my filter at least 2 times per year. Having said all that (and that information - filter size and MERV rating - is ALWAYS on the web listings), that brings us to the third way that filters vary -- which is HOW they are MADE. How sturdy are they? How much support do they offer for getting them in and out of the housing of your A/C cold air return system without damaging them? Are they flimsy? When your furnace kicks on (or your A/C), and the air flow starts pulling through the filter, will the fan suck it over to the edge and cause it to collapse? These are all questions that are NEVER answered on web pages, so Ill tell you what I got with these filters from BNX. There are support wires attached with tiny glue dots to strategic spots on the filter material. This is good. It means that the wires will resist the fans pull, and keep the filter centered in the plenum (between the intake housing and the exhaust chamber). There is ALSO cross-hatches of cardboard giving the filter some physical stability, but the cardboard is widely spread, which, again, is a good thing. Ive gotten filters before whose cardboard crosshatching was SO proliferate that the air flow was reduced (because air does not filter through cardboard). I have also bought filters that had NO cardboard, and the filter just about fell out of the frame when I tried to insert the frame into the air intake chamber. These BNX filters seem to have the best of both worlds - some cardboard, but not too much. These are also rated as electrostatically charged, but to be honest, I have no way to verify or disprove such a claim, so I will just mention it, and state that electrostatically charged filters work better because the charge holds onto the dust particles that it removes from the air stream. Bottom line? These filters are as good as, or better than, most air filters out there. From my perspective, their cost makes them more than acceptable, and since I know how they are made (their support structures), I can un-reservedly recommend them for general use. They earn my rating of 5 stars.

This is a really good filter for my heating system. I was looking for a filter that allows air to flow easily but capture dust and impurities at the same time and this filter delivers both. Good value because I’ve seen similar products at Costco with a higher price and only three filters per pack. These come in 4 per pack. Good quality, good value and proudly made in America!!

Not much you can say about an air filter other than they fit and did the job without any issues. They came in a packed in a bag of 8 and were shipped in a box that protected them from any damage. I think the price is better than others I have purchased with the same MERV rating.

They do the job! I actually didn’t even notice that my furnace didn’t have filters until I checked a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering why it smelled a bit funny hehe. Either way, these filters seem to do a good job, I don’t notice any weird smells or anything and of course, they’re easy to install. It has a little arrow on the edge showing you which way they should be oriented. Would recommend.

These filters appear to be of good quality. The size is accurate and should fit well. These filters offer a higher level of filtration than basic filters and should be helpful for people with allergies.

For some reason I have a hard time finding the correct sized furnace filters for my house, so I was pretty excited to find these. My one requirement: they need to fit. Since these fit, Im pleased.

Full Disclosure: I received this product free of charge [Amazon Vine program] in exchange for my true, honest, and unbiased product review and evaluation, which follows: Awesome filters! They really makes a difference in your indoor air quality. Filters are very well made with high quality materials. They fit perfectly. I will never go back to the cheap 30-day filters I was getting at the big box home improvement store. Bottom line, top quality filters that make a noticeable difference in your air quality. I highly recommend.
