Just wanted to drop in and chat about the Aerostar 20x25x1 MERV 13 Pleated Air Filters I picked up on Amazon. With allergy season hitting me like a freight train and my HVAC system working overtime, I figured it was time for an upgrade. Here's the lowdown:
Price Point: First things first, these bad boys come in at $65.31 for a 6-pack, which breaks down to about $10.89 each. Not too shabby, especially considering these are MERV 13. They promise to snag everything from lint and pollen to smoke and bacteria. So far, seems like money well spent.
The Fit: They're supposed to be 20x25x1, but the actual fit is a smidge under that. No big deal, they slide into my furnace slot without any fuss. If you've ever wrestled with a filter that's too snug, you'll appreciate the easy fit here.
Performance: Let's talk about the reason we're all here – do they actually work? Short answer: Yep. I noticed a difference in my air quality pretty quickly. Less sneezing, less dust floating around, and even the pet dander from my two dogs seems less invasive. Plus, the house overall just feels fresher.
Durability: They recommend swapping these out every 60 to 90 days, but they suggest bumping that up to every 30 days if you're running your system non-stop. I'll probably check mine at the 60-day mark and see how it's holding up. They seem pretty sturdy, but only time will tell.
Overall Impression: I'm impressed. For the price, ease of installation, and the noticeable bump in air quality, I'd say these filters are a solid buy. And with them being shipped right to my door, it's one less thing I have to remember to pick up.

Update after 50 Days of Use (July 5, 2020)
When you read the product packaging of most Home Use Filters, it states that the filter could last up to 90 days. Here I am on Day 50 after the date of install and, oh my goodness, I could not believe in the power of this air filter. It looks so dirty with all dust and human hair after just 50 days of use. And this DOES NOT MEAN THAT THIS FILTER IS NOT LONG LASTING. It actually works so well that it captures this huge amount of dust and human hair in just 50 days (air conditioning has been on most of the days). Removing the dirty filter, I inspected the area behind the filter. I used my finger and swiped on the floor of the furnace, being made of metal, and guess what, my finger was virtually clean. No dust or hair has been able to pass the filter onto the furnace duct area.
Over the past 50 days, I, as an allergy sufferer, I did not experience symptoms of allergy like red and itchy eyes and runny/sneezing nose, and I must thank to the performance results of this filter.
Originally, I gave this product a 4-Star only, not a full 5-Star. This was because I bought a 5-Pk and each filter is not individually wrapped. With this superior performance of the filter, I have decided to up the rating to 4.6 star, which is rounded up to a 5-Star.
