Q: Does the 16x25x4 size include 1 filter or 2? The second photo clearly says 2 filters on the package but it does not indicate 2 filters anywhere in the product description.

submitted by SuzyD - 3 years ago
  • A: It contains only one filter, despite one of the pictures showing "2 pack". That picture is misleading and should be removed.

    submitted byTracy - 2 years ago
  • A: I just recently purchased this same product and pictures show TWO filters, not one, that is being purchased for the price. This is not just misleading, it is fraudulent! What now?

Q: I am buying the 16x25x4 for my parent's house - they are in their 80s and have allergies. My dad said they needed the 16x25x1 size. How do I know if the 16x25x4 will work in the same space? Thanks.

submitted by Carmen Zayas - 5 years ago
  • A: You could look up the Model of the furnace and probably find the right size. If that doesn't work, you could measure the width of opening where the filter goes in. You could probably tell the difference without measuring between 1" and 4".

Q: What are the actual dimensions of the filter? Also, how long does it last?

submitted by Su - 9 years ago
  • A: Someone asked about the MERV rating per an email I received from Target. The MERV on this filter is 11. I have had my air filter in for 2+ months and it's still okay. I have severe allergies all year, and these seem to do the best for me.

    submitted byKAH - 8 years ago

Dimensions Inaccurate - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Even though the dimensions listed on the filter, and advertised on Target, as the same as (many) prior purchases, the actual dimensions are now slightly smaller leaving a gap of space. It is not listed as a slim fit, yet it seems to be. Filtrete is misadvertising or cutting corners. Will no longer be buying.

16x20x4 does not fit Honeywell / Lennox filter box

1 out of 5 stars
Sergey K - 5 months ago
originally posted on filtrete.com
Image
Buyers beware: The actual size of the 16x20x4 was reduced at some point last couple of years. As the result it doesn't properly fit in Honeywell / Lennox filter boxes, despite the advertisement on the packaging. The filter size used to be 15-7/8" x 19-7/8" x 4-5/16". The new filter size is 15-7/16" x 19-3/4" x 4-5/16", so it is 7/16" (1 cm) narrower than the old filter.

Not correct size

ML - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
The height measurement was actually less than 16 inches, so the filter did not properly fit inside of the furnace. I also compared this 16x25x4 filter I purchased to the 16x25x4 3M filter that I purchased in October 2024 and the physical dimensions are different despite the package saying they are the same dimensions.

Ecdwan - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
This filter is thicker than 4 inches. It even says the actual size is 19 3/4 x 24 5/8 x 4 5/16… it is too thick for my 4 inch furnace! Why is this not standard? The one that was in there was also marketed as 20x25x4, but the actual size is 19 1/2 x 24 1/2 x 3 3/4. So stupid.

Extremely beneficial for my allergies

Angela - 2 years ago

Upon advice from my doctor to purchase a better a/c filter, I researched and purchased two of these. We quickly noticed a difference in the air quality, my headaches and sneezing are much better now. I am allergic to dust mites and my cats dander - I am extremely impressed. When I clean, there is far less dust accumulated on surfaces in my house which is lovely. After changing the filter recently we found out why - this filter is blocking everything. So great! We are considering investing in higher grades of the Filtrete brand because this one has done so well.
