Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Looks can be deceiving, so I'm not going to knock these filters. . . yet. However, when held up to the light, I could easily see through the media filter... Not super confidence inspiring as to the MERV13 rating. They are used in an at home smoking lounge, so I'm certain if this filter is a winner or a bust will become clear very quickly. I will report back. At this point adding my .02 to others reviews, the filters appear to be flimsy. Update: found a QR code on one of the filters, scanned it and it told me the MERV 13 filter I bought was in fact a MERV 8 filter. That would make a lot more sense based on how thin this filter is. Nice outright lie on a sale. I won't be ordering these filters again, paying MERV13 prices for a MERV8 product is dishonest. These filters are in no way MERV 13 filters. They do not capture dust, smoke, or odor. I will not be purchasing these filters again. In a sealed filet box, I watched dust and smoke blow straight thru the filter and back into the air. That these things cost 20 each, this is beyond unacceptable.
