#1 · Air purifiers & HVAC

Filtrete 16x25x1 Air Filter MERV 5, 6-Pack AC Furnace HVAC, MPR 300 Basic Dust Defense, Pleated Electrostatic, Removes Lint

$27.96 · 8.1/10

This MERV 5 pleated filter delivers low airflow restriction, protecting HVAC equipment without straining blowers. At under five dollars per filter, ongoing maintenance costs stay low, though it captures only coarse lint and large dust. Homes needing allergen or smoke capture should look toward higher MERV ratings.

#2 · Air purifiers & HVAC

Filtrete 16x25x1 Air Filter, MERV 11, MPR 1000, 2 HVAC Filters

$21.99 · 7.6/10

MERV 11 media traps smaller allergen particles like smog and pet dander that bypass baseline MERV 8 filters. The denser media creates higher static pressure, which can stress older or underpowered HVAC blowers. Check your furnace manufacturer limits to ensure the restricted airflow will not trigger high-limit shutoffs.
