Amazon.com Product Description

The Filtrete 2200 MPR Elite allergen reduction filter not only vastly improves the air quality in your home, it also keeps your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently, saving on utilities and maintenance costs. The electrostatic filter attracts and captures airborne dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, lint, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, bacteria, particles that can carry viruses, and particles that carry odors. With each pass through the specially pleated filter, the air in your living space improves, making for a healthier home environment. This high-performance filter outperforms comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable and reusable one-inch filters.

2200 MPR Elite Allergen Reduction Filter At a Glance: Electrostatic filter attracts and captures dust, pollen, and other particles that can be harmful to your health Improves air quality by cleaning air with each pass through the filter Keeps your furnace or air conditioner running efficiently Outperforms comparable fiberglass and washable/reusable filters Pack includes six filters

The Elite allergen reduction filter's fibers attract air-polluting contaminants (view larger).

By removing dust from the air, the filter also reduces strain on your furnace and air conditioner, helping to keep them running efficiently (view larger).

Electrostatic Design Captures More Particles
The 3M Elite allergen reduction filter is made with both positively charged and negatively charged fibers that act like tiny magnets to attract air-polluting contaminants. Since particles in the air are either positively or negatively charged, they are attracted to and captured by the filter and kept out of your living space.

Electrostatic filters, including the 3M Elite allergen reduction filter, perform better than comparable non-electrostatic fiberglass and washable/reusable filters, because they attract and capture the small, allergy-aggravating microparticles that non-electrostatic filters can't.

Improves Indoor Air Quality
With indoor air a surprising two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, the 3M Elite allergen reduction filter can make a difference in maintaining a healthier home environment by cleaning air with each pass through the filter.

The 3M Elite allergen reduction filter features a 2200 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR), which means it is able to capture large and small particles from the air, including household dust, pollen, dust-mite debris, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, bacteria, particles that can carry viruses, and particles that carry odors. This high-performance filter meets the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest Health House Program's indoor air quality guidelines.

Improves Efficiency
This high-performance allergen-reduction filter also keeps your heating and air conditioning equipment working efficiently by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. It is recommended that you change the filter every three months. However, the effectiveness and life of the filter can vary and depend on the individual conditions in your home.

This review is from: Filtrete EA03DC-6 Elite Allergen Reduction Filters, 2200 MPR, 20 x 25 x 1, 6-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

What a difference 300 MPR makes! We upgraded to the 3M Filtrete 2200 MPR Elite Allergen Reduction Filters and immediately noticed an improvement in our home air quality.

We live in a non-smoking home with two indoor dogs. Our youngest son is the most sensitive to air quality. We change filters based on his sneezing, which can come on like an attack of the hiccups. We had used the 3M Filtrete 1900 MPR Ultimate Allergen Reduction Filter for years because it was the highest rated filter available for sale at the local home improvement stores.

We found the 3M Filtrete 2200 MPR Elite Allergen Reduction Filter on Amazon.com. They run about $4 higher per filter than the 3M Filtrete 1900 MPR. It would be fantastic if Amazon made these available through their Subscribe & Save program (hint, hint) but we have no other complaints. Amazon sells these filters in 6-packs, which is common among online filter sellers. However, I found Amazon's 6-pack price to be at least $15 cheaper than competitors' prices.

Consumer Reports ranks the 3M Filtrete Allergen 2200 MPR the best Do-It-Yourself filter. It receives an excellent rating for dust/pollen removal, a good rating for smoke removal and a very good rating for airflow resistance. This high-performance filter also meets the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest Health House Program's indoor air quality guidelines.

According to the 3M website, the company "developed the Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR) system to demonstrate a filter's ability to capture the smallest airborne particles--from 0.3 to 1 micron in size from the air passing through the filter. The MPR system helps you compare Filtrete filters based on the level of air filtration you want. The higher the MPR, the better the filter's ability to capture particles from the air as it passes through the filter."

Rating: Five stars.

This review is from: Filtrete EA01DC-6 Elite Allergen Reduction Filters, 2200 MPR, 16 x 25 x 1, 6-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am always looking for ways to make my life less misserable as my allergies affect all the other conditions of my body especially digestion and Migraine headaches.....that's why I say "Extreme Allergic, or in my case "Extreme Sensitivities")

Bought this product a week ago and installed it immmediately in my home furnace (air blown of course). Felt a bit better in 24 hours and after several days of 24/7 running the furnace (house) fan what a difference.

Am now able to cope with much less allergy medications unless I go outside and get polluted with the extreme amount of spores now in the air namely ragweed.

Other than moving, which I am planning to do asap this is the best alternative to doing so until you can.

My son and I have severe alergies. I bought this because of its highest rating for air cleansing and I am not disappointed. I highly recommend this filter.
