Great replacement filter

After recieving and installing my new filter it appears to be the exact same fit and quality as the OEM filter. Because of it's size the filter is projected to last for 6 months so we will see how well the performance holds up over that period of time.

Pros

Arrived fast. Fits air conditioner perfectly

Cons

High replacement frequency: Due to its lackluster performance and weak construction, this filter must be replaced far more frequently than most other HVAC air filters, leading to increased expenses and inconvenience for the user
