Colorfil エアフィルター 臭い低減 色が変化 プリーツHVAC 炉エアフィルター ペットのいるご家庭用 MERV 8 (16X25X1、4個パック)

I think the filter helps with odors, but it wasn’t as large as the 24x24 filtrete I usually buy. There are small gaps around where air slips past the filter. The color also looks pretty gross since this is in our living room. It was bright pink for a very short time, then is darker yellow for a long time before it turns the final brown color. I will not buy again because of the size.

The dimensions are smaller than an actual 20x25 so it left an opening between the filter and the vent. Because of the opening, it lets unfiltered air to pass by and also compromises the strength of the filter frame. I was worried it would eventually give out and get sucked up, which happened only a few hours later. I live in south Texas so the ac stays on all the time and I don’t want the risk of this happening again. I understand the actual size is stated but don’t understand why they aren’t the standard size like the 3M filters. I really wanted them to work because my house was just remodeled and still smells like paint.

Update OCT 21: I got contacted by the manufacturer and they offered to make me two custom sized filters at no charge and send them to me. I was blown away by their honesty. I upgraded my rating to 4 stars on that alone and will further update once I get them.----------------------------------------Original review:We have lived in this house for 12 years and I have bought many different 16x25x1 inch filters. Some are a smidge smaller so you don't have to fight with it to get it in and out but our opening is 16x25x1 and the guard to keep it in place is 1/4" on the top and bottom so when I slide this in the top is flopping free and would easily get sucked into the furnace. How dumb can they be? I know that the sizes are not exact and a little smaller but this is even a smidge smaller than what is mentioned for the actual size.I really wanted to try this to help have more clean air but unfortunately these will be going back. This company should know better. 16x25 should only be a smidge smaller at most or they should not sell it as a 16x25 filter.So annoyed
