Gentle_Ben: I’ve been extremely interested in maintaining the air quality in my home ever since I bought an air quality meter.

The one metric I couldn’t seem to get under control was the VOC’s. I used the exact same Nordic Pure filters with the same MERV rating as these previously. When I switched to these with the charcoal filter included I watched my VOC’s drop by 50% in 24 hours. Very impressed! Small improvement in overall air smell in the home as well.

Highly recommend!

The HuntersThe Hunters: So the filters worked great. The price is decent compared to big-box stores. I purchased the 6-pack of MERV 12's. They get shipped in a really thick-carboard box, very sturdy so they don't get crushed in shipping I presume.

I was using MERV 10 filters in a different brand, and swapped to Nordic Pure in a MERV 12. Measurements worked out to be 19 9/16 x 19 9/16 x 29/32. My old filters we basically the same. They slide in fine (under mount to HVAC unit) and don't rattle as some folks have complained.

The material is slightly heavier (and hence the whole filter feels slightly heavier) than my previous one. I counted the pleats, there are 27 (the MERV 10 had 21 pleats). My HVAC unit is only 4 years old, and did not struggle or have flow-restrictions when put into place.

I presume the higher MERV is working, as my dust level in the house is a bit lighter than it was previously.

As for those folks that complain about the size, if you look up size standards, this is the standard size. I looked up Filtrete filters, since other reviewers seem to think those are bigger, and found those to be 19.69 x 19.69 x 0.81. No difference.

As for stating that this...

Jan: Well... I admit surprise. We moved into a new home, built 5 years ago, but later discovered the builder had run the furnace during building, so the ducts were full of drywall dust and stuff. Also previous owners had really furry dogs that shed everywhere. Love dogs, but sadly - allergic as all get out to them.

Had the furnace professionally cleaned and serviced (and filter changed), and the ducts vacuumed.

Still - allergies bothered me, and perpetually runny nose for the past 2 mo.

Thought I would try these filters on a whim, had another company's MERV-8 before.

Opened the box, was a little surprised that - aside from the cover, no Nordic Pure branding on the actual filters, but they did indicate MERV-12. Installed one...

WOW - what a difference. Next day - woke up- nose clear, not stuffy at all, and air quality smelled/seemed so much better. Had no idea it would be this much of a difference. 3 days in now. Feeling great. Glad we got these filters. A win.

Hiris: These arrived well packaged inside a solid cardboard box. I have a hard time finding quality filters this size (20x20x1") in my local hardware stores, and rarely on sale. This package saves money, and means I have a supply for about a year. The quality is excellent compared with any I have seen locally (flimsy). I appreciate the high MERV ratings on these filters. I have heard though that in the summer if using air conditioning (I have a heat pump that runs through my furnace) it's better to use a thin filter so the fan doesn't have to work so hard. Apparently the air conditioning moisture traps the dust so the better filters are not needed. But in the winter I use these quality filters. Will definitely buy again.

Andrea Polk: I purchased these filters on Amazon because locally I could not find the right size for my furnace. Nordic Pure was a new brand to me, but after using their filters for several months I'm pleased with the way they perform. I was able to purchase this box at the right price (about five dollars per filter), which was compatible to similar products in my area that were out of stock; which I've previously used.

Hypoallergenic and anti-microbial, these filters add to the health and safety of your home. I can't speak to the manufacturer's claim that they outperform other brands. However, when removing the filters from my system I've noticed they collect the fine dust (we live in the country in an older home, so there's a lot of it) very well.

Made in the USA, these Nordic Pure filters did what I expected them to do, and were true to size. I will purchase them again and recommend them to others.

UPDATE: 9/28/15

I'm still buying these filters and love their performance! I tried some cheaper ones, but found I went back to these as visually they seem to trap more dust and pet hair than the others. I also notice...
