Washable Electrostatic HVAC Furnace Air Filter, Lasts a Lifetime, 6 Stage Permanent Air Filter, Healthier Home or Office, Made in The USA - Increases Airflow (12x12x1)

I had two washable filters already, which I alternated between. One of them was a metal mesh filter and the otehr was some other material like a mat of woven plastic fibres, resembling a large flat synthetic exfoliator or something.That other filter worked, but it was a pain to clean. It'd get all waterlogged and try to fall out of its frame, and took forever to dry.So I bought this to replace the non-metal one, thinking it was the same thing as the metal one. Turns out I like this one a LOT better than the metal one I already had.It's n terms of durability, it's about the same. WAY better than the one it was meant to replace. It's got more layers/stages of filtration than my older metal one, which means it's able to clean more dust out of the air. As a nice bonus, there's no need to check each time to ensure the direction is correct; it works either way.I had a minor issue with it at first, but I contacted the seller via the email address listed on a sticker, and they rectified it quickly, with no hassle at all.It is a bit on pricey side, but after having seen the quality, it's totally worth it IMHO.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose this product because I needed to replace my old filter. It was exactly the right size and fit for my Trane hvac unit. Price was reasonable and once installed it made an immediate improvement in my unit’s performance.

This filter seems to work well

It's a little noisier than a disposable filter, but it's better in the long run.

Works so good that I purchased a second one to alternate monthly.

From what I can tell. It's working great.

I love this filter. I would like to purchase another for cleansing day in order to switch them out. Less dust in the air which is important to me. Fits perfectly. Definitely recommend.

This filter does not work at all. I used it for several months and decided to clean it. I filled the bath tub with water and left it to soak for a while. Came back to rinse and the water was perfectly clean. I tried to use the filter one more time and left it in my hvac system for a longer period of time and still the filter did not catch any dirt or dust and still rinsed perfectly clean. But there is always dust and dirt all over my house when I vacuum and the cheap filters are always dirty after a few months of use. I would advise NOT to purchase this filter from my experience. It was a total waste of money.
