Rated 3 out of 5 by Julie65 from Basic Pleated 3M "3" Pack I have been buying these filters for 10 years and have loved the quality, what they catch and the cost for a 3 pack. I always get two packs to have 3 changes. I change them between 2 to 3 months apart regularly. However; since the change that was made in their actual "1" inch width NOT so satisfied with the 3 Pack anymore. They are so thin they whistle ALL the time and it is so annoying when trying to sleep. I haven't given up on Filtrete yet, I returned the unopen packs I had and purchased a 2 pack 1085 Micro Allergen Extra with a true "1" inch edge/rim. I sure hope they are quiet like the other filters used to be when they were thicker. Unfortunately they are twice as expensive. Love to see you change the thickness back and even you had to raise the cost just a little.

Rated 1 out of 5 by NotBrokeDontFixIt from 3M Changed Quality I have been buying these Basic 3M filters for years and when we built a new home, I continued to use this filter. Recently the look of the filters changed so I knew it had been re-engineered. Then the air returns with the new filters became very noisy and the filters were nearly being sucked into the duct. The cardboard seemed to be flimsy - (didn't take a micrometer to it but wish I had). The new style filters are noticeably smaller in both directions. Next time you re-engineer to cut costs, remember to account for the varying size of the lip on air return duct openings. Not all are 1".

Rated 1 out of 5 by Chas from flow arrow questionable [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I have purchases this style filter (does not have boxed edge). I have been using Filtrete since we moved into our house 10 years ago. I question the flow arrow on the filter. If you install it as recommended the filter element does not have support as the plastic grid is on the upstream side. I am concerned that the filter element will be pulled out of the frame. I cannot recommend this product as I just installed the filters. I will probably just replace them to have peace of mind.

Rated 1 out of 5 by woodnut from Quality has gone downhill Bought the same ones I have been for years, or so I thought. Went to install them only to find they shrunk them another 1/8" all the way around. The last ones the perimeter was very sturdy, these are junk. Had bend retaining tabs so they would stay in frame. The smaller size now allows more air the chance to bypass the filter. Hum didn't see the price of the new smaller package drop. Will have to find another brand now. Father has been a 3M stockholder since 1965, he was very disappointed to hear the change in quality.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Alan Rockwell from Basic Pleated Filtrete design change question [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Air Flow direction has been changed (redesigned maybe) with the a stronger stretched wires first and the pleated material second. In addition, the paper each is reversed. I installed them (I have two AC systems) and could see they worked just fine. My question is was this redesigned to improve performance or was this a mistake in the manufacturing process? Can you explain this new design?

Rated 1 out of 5 by Essie from Unhappy with recent change to filters I always purchased the 3 pack Filtrete Basic Air Filters, but recently they changed the wire coils that wrapped throughout the filter with what looks like plastic thin strips that don't look secure. Sure enough, they aren't very sturdy. I had to replace 2 in one month due to bending in the cardboard trim and it caused the air passing through to whistle due to the bent cardboard. I always replaced my filters once a month, now I'm on my third filter within a month and half. Unsatisfied with new filter design. I would recommend the old 3 pack filters, not these with the new design.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mapper from Element reinforcement is on the wrong side [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Conventional reinforcements are found on the outgoing side of the filter where any element failures are likely to be held in place by the reinforcement. Filtrete basic has "plastic" reinforcement on the incoming side of the filter element. This may have worked okay in the lab but I am concerned my furnace will pull the paper element right out of the cardboard frame. If I had noticed this in the store I would have bought something else. Although the basic filter is low-cost I still expected it to work without failure for one month. Because the filter has a 3M label on it, I'll give it a trial run in my furnace. I am not comfortable with this product. Even if it works, the look and feel of this filter is testing the limits of flimsy.

Rated 2 out of 5 by BG E from Almost useless now I was hoping that I'd just bought a bad package of these but after reading reviews of other long time users, it looks like the quality has really dropped on these. I've been using this product for about 10 years and have been very happy with them. This last package contained filters that are too small to fit up in my ceiling intake. They drop down onto the grill and the air can be pulled up around the filter instead of going through it. If this is what I find in the store again, I'll be shopping for a different filter.
