24x24x1 (23.75 X 23.75) Accumulair Gold Filter (MERV 8) (4 Pack) Review by Yoda (Hadera, Israel)

Any review of this product would have to be split into two parts. The first would have to analyze the quality of the filter contained in the cardboard frame and the second the cardboard frame containing the filter. With respect to the filter, it is quite good. It seems to pick up quite a bit of particulates that it is supposed to, as witnessed by the fact that after one month it comes out quite dirty. Hence 4-5 stars with respect to filter quality. With respect to the quality of the cardboard frame containing the filter, however, it is an altogether different story. The frame is built of cheap cardboard in a cheaply designed manner hence it is easy to bend out of shape quite easily. It may not be able to even get this thing to fit in properly unless your filter panel is a little bigger than the filter itself or if the filter holder itself involves even a slightly tight fit. Hence a perfectly good filter is ruined by a flimsy and poorly built cardboard filter. A little strengthening of the cardobard holder is all that is needed to remedy this problem (and would probably not add much to cost as could be done with only slight design modification).

Works as advertized. Easy to install, and provides the air purification one would want. Beware of filters with higher Merv ratings as they can cause some furnaces to strain to achieve proper air flow.


24x24x1 (23.75 X 23.75) Accumulair Gold Filter (MERV 8) (4 Pack) Review by SeaGator "SeaGator" (IBX, NC)

The overall quality of the filter is average to maybe a little above for a MERV 8. The real issue is the actual size of each filter. As stated by the manufacturer's specs, these filters are made or cut smaller than the normal size for each category. This is a real problem for many furnaces that take fitted filters in a bracket or tray. Without shimming around the sides of the filter, the air flows around - not through the filter. Air is like water and will take the path of least resistance. Unless you are sure an undersize filter will work in your furnace, do not buy this brand. It's kind of like orange juice and ice cream, maybe no one will notice if we reduce the size and charge the same price. I made the wood shim to seal the sides until I use up my supply but will go back to paying the higher price of the 3M next time.
