- Andry Tarifa ValdésFantastic Value and Solid PerformanceI recently purchased the Amazon Basics 16 × 20 × 1 Air Filter 6 Pack (MERV 8) and I’m really pleased with it. The filters arrived clean and sturdy, and installation was a breeze—sliding right into my furnace slot perfectly. The MERV 8 rating captures everyday particles like dust, lint, and pollen without causing airflow issues in my system.
What I love most:
Great price for a 6-pack of high-capacity filters.
Durable build: the pleated filter material and support frame feel quality and stable.
Clear improvement in air quality: less dust on surfaces, and the air filter now looks visibly cleaner after a couple of months of use.
In short: if you’re looking for a reliable, affordable furnace/AC filter that does its job well without over-complicating things, this is a 5-star pick. Highly recommended! - John The ReviewerExactly as expectedThese are a solid replacement for what I had before. They fit perfectly, were easy to install, and the multi-pack is an easy order to keep around. Airflow feels consistent. Good value and performance.
- BriannaJ37A good filter for a good price.I change my filters out every month.
I don't care what my technician says. I don't care what the marketing of any product says.
These filters catch a lot of dust. Every time I take them off, which is every month like I said, they are coated in a nice 2mm thick coat of dust.
The fact they are catching all that speaks to the quality of the filter.
The product is on par or slightly better sturdiness to other filters I have used with good airflow.
Only when the filter pushes the 1 month or slightly beyond does the filter start making noise, which means its time to change it and the filter itself has done its job.
Very easy to use, pull out the old one, rinse and dry the grate, insert the new one. Reinsert the grate. Done. - rick nThey seem just fine... UPDATED, the very goodFirst the downside- The filters do NOT have a MERV rating on them. They are not individually wrapped. The flow direction is not marked, so you have to THINK about the direction of flow.
The 4 star rating is because of lack of MERV markings.
Now the good- They do look to be well made. Better quality then the big box home improvement store. The cardstock around the filter feels better, corners glues in place better. The filter material itself, has more pleats, and seems like the same material. The filter material seems to be held in place to the frame better. They fit right into my filter slot, same thickness. The filters looked clean even without the plastic wrap. So, for me, I don't care about individual wrapping IF I'm buying something in bulk, better for the environment.
I guess I have to just trust it's MERV 11. But I have to say we have an older furnace that's like 85% a higher MERV will probably just put a strain on air circulation anyway. Plus we have 2 cats so we change the filter monthly.
So when I went to change my old filter, again MERV 11 from big box, THAT filter was actually sliding down in it's own cardstock frame, allowing unfiltered air to pass through to the furnace & A/C condenser. GREAT, more cleaning...
I went to the Amazon basic filter for cost, after I read a few (not so good) reviews, I thought it couldn't be worse than the big box store. AND Amazon was way less expensive then the other place. First impression is they seem just fine, IF I had allergies or other issues, I might not be inclined to use these. BUT I think for most people these would be fine, and economical.
IF this fails in 30 days or less, I'll update.
UPDATE : No the didn't fail, actually the seem MUCH better than the big box brand we been using, and there is an arrow for the flow direction, it's kinda small and I missed it. - Sanjeev pogiPerfect fitI was a little nervous ordering a 6-pack of filters online, but I'm really glad I took the chance! These Amazon Basics filters are a fantastic deal. The price for the multi-pack is very reasonable compared to what I usually pay at the local hardware store. Most importantly, the fit is absolutely perfect for my furnace, no bending, crushing, or struggling to slide them in. They just work, and the MERV 8 rating is exactly what I need. Highly recommend if you want to save some money without sacrificing quality or fit!
- Pre JPerfect fitPerfect replacement. Though they should be the same size, these actually fit better than what came with my new system from the builder.
Local stores are always out of the size. The no frills bulk packing on the 6 pack makes this a smart buy. It's cheaper than the individual wrapped ones and always having extras on hand is nice. - Robert A. SobieA high performing filter at a great price point!I selected these filters for their lower cost and positive ratings. They fit perfectly and work every bit as well as the high cost filters they replaced. We’re finding less dust and our family seems to sneeze less and breathe easier because of the allergens that the filters trap. I will continue to purchase these and would confidently recommend these filters to family, friends and any others in search of a value priced and high performing filter.
- Lucky Flowers⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Noticeable Difference in Air Quality — Especially for Pet OwnersIf you have a dog (or any furry friend), you need these. I noticed a real difference in the air quality in my home after switching to these Amazon Basics furnace filters. I already use air purifiers, but since installing these, they haven’t been working as hard — which tells me these filters are doing their job.
The MERV 11 rating is great for capturing dust, dander, and pet hair, and they’re not overly expensive either. I change mine about every two months for my 55-pound shepherd mix who sheds a lot. That seems to be the perfect balance — not too soon, not too late.
They were also easy to install in my old 1990’s furnace (no wrestling with fit), and shipping was fast. The biggest improvement I’ve noticed is just how much cleaner the air feels overall.
If you like keeping a clean home, this is step one after vacuuming/dusting/brushing pets — a passive, effective way to help your HVAC system breathe better and keep your space fresher.
No-brainer purchase.
