The Filtrete Basic Dust and Lint Air Filter 300 MPR is appreciated by guests for its affordability, quality, and efficiency in filtering dust and lint. However, some guests reported issues with the size and durability of the cardboard frame. It's recommended for those with allergies and is considered a good value for money.

Waste of money
The carcboard frame and the material used to enforce the filter are subpar. After several weeks, especially as furnace is used more due to colder weather, they collapse inward and become useless. Doj't waste your money.

Current product quality has fallen.
My home uses return air filters 20x20 and 24x24. I've been buying 20x20 MPR 300 and 24x24 MPR300. After my last purchase of 24x24 pack I too thought the 'air direction arrow' was backwards by mistake; I called in and was advised that the arrow was indeed correct. I take issue with that, especially on the 24x24 with all the cardboard 'crisscrossing' in addition to the new 'plastic wire' net all on the intake side. That's a lot blockage of air flow. You shouldn't need the cardboard strips and crisscrossiing with the polypropylene net The 20x20 had much less reinforcement so the airflow is much better but the cardboard filter frame comes apart.

Good low cost filter to change often
This is a low cost Merv 5 (out of 16) filter, I change it about every five weeks during our Colorado heating season. My theory for filter maintenance is to use low cost filters and change theme often. The furnace runs fine (moves plenty of air) with this filter and a 5 week change cycle seems to work well.

Clean air, clean home!
A great filter for the home. This filter lasts an appropriate time prior to needing to be changed again!

Strong Odor
Two (at least) bought recently that smelled like they had been in a car mechanic's shop absorbing grease, metallic odors, and exhaust. Not acceptable!

Social care is incorrect
Support screen on the WRONG SIDE when I bought the 300 last year. I installed it MY way , worked great This year the support strands are on the CORRECT SIDE. You fixed the problem. Now tell people the truth.

Mrp 300 is a good choice.
I just bought the mrp 300 because I wanted some air/dust filtration combined with optimal air flow draw from our furnace blower minimizing electrical draw to help keep our high efficiency furnace functioning properly to reduce our electric bill. Contrary to higher mrp rated filters that blowers weren't designed to draw air through causing our blowing to draw more wattage. So far the filter seems to be filtering/functioning as expected.

Good filter
The price and quality is good, but only gave it 4 stars because it is just ever so slightly not squared and so makes a bit of a squeaking noise when the furnace or AC turn on.
