My Soleus HM1-10-32 is used to supplement my oil heat since prices have gone up. I have no problem heating a 18' x 12' living room. I wanted the non-remote version because I've got too many remotes and dont need another one. To my surprise this regular model is now coming with ECO (economy mode).

The heating element consists of two 500W vertical heat panels:

1) LOW: In this mode only one heat panel turns on (the right panel).

2) High: In this mode both (right and left) heat panels turn on.

3)ECO: In this mode both 500W heat panels turn on until the room reaches a certain temp then the right heat panel turns off and the left one remains on until the thermostat takes over and cycles one 500W panel.

Noise: The 500W heat panels will warp at little as they warm-up. This warping makes a low clunk sound. Not loud enough to disturb you but noticable. Also the thermostat makes a click as it cycles.

Power: 1000W seems to be enough for me and doesnt cause heating of the line cord. At this power level the unit can share another device on the same line if need be. The 500W setting works well for most of my conditions. For instance I get home from work and the burner has kept the house at 63 degrees F. I turn-on the heater at 1000W until the living room wall thermostat reads 69 F then I turn the heater to low and let it cycle.

Heat: Since it has a back or rear to the element I tried it up against a wall. This heated the wall up real well. After moving it out in the open it seemed much more effective. The heater emits a LOT of heat out of the top and heats only about out to three feet from the front. I also heats out to 1.5 feet to the rear. Other than that its mostly Infra-red waves to the front and rear and ambient heat to the top.

Very handy carry handle on one side and attractive thin profile make this a real versatile low profile heater. With the Micathermic elements the heating elements are not exposed to the air so it is safe.

I really think this is the future in portable heating because it is the quietest heater I have used. Also with heat out of the top,infra red to the front and heat to the rear its very effective.

Edit: 2/6/07

Well we had our first single digit night here in NY and it kept the bedroom at 68F by using 1000W and letting it cycle all night. Thats 68F with my door open and attic air leaking thru the attic stairs (in otherwords worst case) at 8 deg outside temp. Normally on an 8 deg night my bedroom is 59F.

I also knocked it completely over while walking around in the dark. The Power was off and it lived no problem. No damage works fine.

Another point is that no matter how close it is to objects in the bedroom they do not heat to a dangerous temp. They will get warm but not hot.

When sitting on the coach with it 3 feet away and facing you (maximum comfy) you only feel a mild radiant heat not a blast in the face. Try that with most radiant heaters and you'll get a tan.

Lovin' it.

Does a good job heating a 10" x 12' bedroom. It's totally silent, so it's perfect for the bedroom. It does heat up almost instantly, but at only 1000 watts, does not heat up the room very quickly. Best to turn it on an hour before you turn in, to give it time to heat up the room. I'm using it in a house that I set to 58 degrees overnight, with single digit temperatures outside. The bedroom stays in the upper 60's for the night while this is on. Update: It stopped working after a couple of months. Got a new one that's been working fine all winter. The one year warranty was good, but the return experience was poor. Had to call many times over many days to get an actual person. The return involved cutting the end of the power cord and mailing at my expense back to them (good to not have to pay to send the entire unit back). Plus, had to send them money to cover shipment of the replacement unit (I think it was $16). All in all, it cost me over 40% of the original cost to get warranty replacement. It seems that this is becoming a common practice these days, but not easy to find out until you call for repair. So consider this a heads up so you can factor this in to your purchasing decision.

This item does NOT promote enough heat even at a high setting. I recommend the DeLongi flat panel heater, as you can actually mount the heater, and it puts off a great deal to heat at a much lower setting, for about the same price of this unit...

We purchased this heater as a replacement for a gas wall heater that was disconnected by the power company many years ago, deemed unsafe to operate. The Cadet 4000W was professionally installed, requiring both a carpenter for framing and sheetrock, and an electrician. The heater required a separate 240V feed, which was branched off of the dryer circuit. The Heater was easy to install and works very well. We have approx. 850sqft home in Bay Area, CA. This heater is capable of heating the entire space, but we usually keep a couple of rooms closed off. We had been using 1250W space heaters, the Cadet is a huge improvement, no more blown circuits. It heats the space quickly and is fairly quiet. We did our own heat-loss calcs and decided on the 4000W unit. We also liked that it has a two pole thermostat which means it can be switched entirely off. The one weakness is in the thermostat that is mounted in the cabinet, it does not seem to be very sensitive, but is adequate. For more $$$ it would have been possible to purchase and install a remote wall mounted digital thermostat. We decided on Cadet since they have recently made significant quality and safety improvements. The price may see a little high, but compared to other forms of built-in heat it is a good value.

This heater seems to have been cranked out to take advantage of the popularity of the new Micathermic technology. This new heating technology heats up the panel very quickly, but takes as long as the oil heaters to heat the room. This is to be expected. With out a fan, the speed of heating is determined by the size of the heating surface. Which in this case is around 30" X 30". This technology is completely silent, compared to the bubbling noise of the oil radiators.

Ok, the mistakes Soleus made. The digital thermostat is somewhat for show. In my 10' X 10' room the heater is set for 77 but the room never reaches 70 degrees. The heater turns off making you think it has reached it's goal. Same room, I put in another Soleus heater. I initially left this heater at the default 68 degrees that is displayed when the unit first comes on. Now the room stays above 78 degrees. After much experimentation and repositioning of heaters, I've discovered a trend. Each heater has a fixed error in their temp sensor. For instance the previous mentioned heater is exactly ten degrees off. You set it for 68, it tries to keep the room at 78. This error is different for each heater. In addition these heaters have roughly a five degree response range. In other words it may keep heating for an addtional five degrees past the target setting and after turning off may not start again until it's more than five degrees below the target setting.

Soleus did a great job at making a silent technology noisy. The single Micathermic panel heats up very quickly, so it expands quickly. Initially you'll hear these little creaking pops as the housing mount points are trying to hang on to the panel as it expands. Then you'll hear a gong as the panel bows out under pressure. These sounds aren't loud, but in a quiet room in the middle of the night, it wakes me up. Smaller multiple panels might reduce this noise problem.

As far as the smell, hang in there. It takes awhile, but it eventually goes away.

I gave this heater three stars because the problems I pointed out are pretty much the norm for most portable heaters I've used. Micathermic technology is great, someone just needs to put it in a quality device.

First unit dead after 6 months (lights come on no heat)

replacement huge dent in back panel on arrival (box perfect... they sent it that way!)

second replacement OK for a few months. Tried it as the weather got colder this month. Worked once, now won't heat up.

Customer service says the warranty starts (and ends) based on the original purchase date, so I'm out of luck.

Best Deals on Soleus Air HGW-308R Flat Panel Micathermic Radiator Heater

We are currently living in a small house with no central heat or air while we save for a new house. Because of this, we have had an opportunity to try several types of portable heaters. This heater is by far my favorite. Last year it kept my bedroom very warm. The heat radiates out more slowly than many of the heaters we have tried and it really warms up the room instead of just racing to the ceiling. I never thought about that before, but we are very happy with the results. We are just starting our second year with this heater and have ordered three more just like it. I have read several reviews on heaters and it is weird how some people will love a heater while others hate the same heater. All I can say is that we are using it as a primary source of heat in about 150 square feet where temperatures frequently get in the teens and it seems to do the job well.

This space heater worked fine for about 6 months, then suddenly stopped working. For this price, I expect a product to function correctly and reliably. Less expensive space heaters I have purchased have worked beautifully for much much longer.

Customer service was not helpful. Do not buy this product.

I've just had this a short time and have been testing it out, so I can't speak to the reliability issues that some have raises. I do think that problem units tend to make it into these reviews more than the trouble free ones. After all, if you get a lemon you are highly motivated to tell the world.

This unit heats my room up much faster than the 1500w Deloughi oil unit that I tried. It is much quieter than the Sunbeam quartz unit that I tried. There is a slight hum when it is heating, but not at all objectionable. There is definitely some radiant effect that you can feel several feet away so it can be used as an instant-heat, personal heater. I find the thermostat to be fairly accurate. The room has been running 1 or 2 degrees hotter than the setting. Room is 180 sq. ft.

I am concerned about EMF radiation, so I tested it with a gauss meter. It gets into the "safe" range at about 32" (2 gauss). The reading is negligible at about 52" (.01 gauss). If you don't know what I am talking about, you should do some research if you want to avoid cancer. Most heaters are a little less, but I find this acceptable in the room I am using.

I like the remote because I do healing work in this room and I can adjust the temp without getting up from massage table. Back to reliability: I can't say for this unit, but I have used a Soleus dehumidifier for two summers and it is an outstanding machine. I give this unit a 4 because of others reliability experiences and the slightly higher EMF. As far as performance is concerned, I am thrilled. I needed a machine that was efficient and quiet and this fills the bill. Oil and quartz fell short of the mark. I had planned to get a mechanical thermostat model but they were out. I spent $10 more for the digital and like the way it works and the remote, I think the mechanical would have been more reliable in the long run however. When a digital unit dies it is usually the electronics that fail. (I am a former repairman)

Addendum: Still works fine in spring of 2013. I love this heater--heats room fast and quiet.

This is about Tool King as well as the CZ707 Heater. I have had excellent and very prompt service from these people. When I ordered this heater it arrived very quickly, however there was exterior damage, so I phoned the company. They sent a replacement immediately, no questions asked, within a week I had a brand new heater.

The little heater works fine, as advertised. It is compact, a little cube and should be very safe since it won't topple over. It's compact & easy to handle. Heater has a very low setting so it can stay on for hours and keeps the bathroom comfortable. The thermostat works fine.

It really takes the chill off, heats quickly, & doesn't use much power to do it.

As far as I can tell there are no problems at all with this heater (I've only had this for a few weeks). Even better, I feel that if there was a problem Tool King would act promptly to correct it.

I have had this heater for a month now and I absolutely love it. I cannot believe how much heat this little heater provides. I have it under my desk at work and it is perfect to warm my feet on these cold mornings. The heater I had before this one would run all day but this one puts out so much heat, I can turn it off for part of the day. I would recommend this heater for anyone who wants under the desk heat. I do not know how it would work in a room but from the amount of heat it is putting out I would think it would do the job. I would buy this again should the need arise.

Best Deals on Comfort Zone® Personal Heater/Fan CZ707

I purchased this little heater to use at work for 2-3 hours every morning, and I've been using it for about six weeks now. I particularly like that it is small and portable. The heater is just slightly larger than those small square tissue boxes. I can put it on the floor or on the table. The handle on top makes it easy to move around, unlike the last heater I had which needed to be picked up from the bottom using two hands. I use it under my desk in a small office, and I rarely use the high setting since the low setting sufficiently warms my little corner. If I set the thermostat low, the heater will cycle off and on as needed, perfect for a mild day. The overheating sensor works as intended; when I briefly placed my laptop bag on the floor directly in front of the heater, the caution light came on and it shut off within two seconds. When this happens, turn off and unplug the heater for about 10 minutes so it can cool down. I like that it has a fan-only setting, handy when someone burns popcorn in the office microwave!

I have a few small negatives that account for my deduction of a star. Some of the gray paint bubbled up and is flaking off the back of the heater next to the power cord. The heater still has a bit of a burning smell for a minute after I turn it on in the morning. It isn't as quiet as some small heaters I've owned, but I do find that the consistent hum fades into the background when I get used to it after the first few minutes. If I sat in a cubicle with neighbors on all sides, this heater might be annoying to some.

I do recommend plugging it into a power strip that has a built-in circuit breaker. Twice now this heater has tripped the circuit breaker when I've had it on high heat for longer than 30 minutes (the only other thing plugged into the power strip is a small desk lamp.)

Overall the heater seems durable and I'm hoping it holds up well. I'll update this review if I encounter any issues.

I received this machine and it was very easy to assemble. It made great movie style popcorn, provided you have the right ingredients. Now here's something even the EXPERTS, miss. It's not just the kettle size but the size of the CONTAINER. This machine cranks out great popcorn, but I only was able to fill it with approximately 64 cups of popped popcorn (bin size restriction). Hence, you should buy the "right" kettle size with a BIGGER container if you are targeting large crowds. Therefore, I purchased a 14 oz machine with a bigger bin and will keep my Great Northern as a secondary backup (I'm a vendor). Once again, for $300.00 dollars and for small to medium size crowds, BEST VALUE & PRICE!

We use kerosene heaters all the time during the cold Missouri winters. I have a large 23,000 BTU heater (the most common style you see in the hardware stores) and I have a radiant 10,600 BTU that we use all of the time. I found my 23,000 BTU heater to be too much of a kerosene sipper so I wanted another smaller unit for my downstairs so I opted on this one. This model is advertised as being a convective AND radiant kerosene heater. I will tell you straight up, the reason they are also calling it radiant heater is because there is no housing around the flame and you do get some but very little radiant heat from this heater. Most of the heat is convective wherein it warms the air coming from the top of it. The main reason I decided on this heater was I liked the fact that I could see the flame. It's fun to watch a flame burn while you are sitting there relaxing on the couch. This heater is pretty easy to operate. Fill up the tank (about a gallon of kero), wait an hour and push the ignition button. (don't forget to install the batteries for the ignition). Now, the biggest problem I have with this heater is the control knob. You turn the knob clockwise to raise the wick. Just like with any kerosene heater, after it has warmed up and the kerosene is vaporizing more efficiently, you need to adjust the wick (i.e. lower it) because the flame starts growing too high. You need to maintain about a 1/2 inch flame around the burner (too high of flame,you get soot and smell from burning too rich...think of a candle with too long of a wick). This heater, unlike your larger convective kerosene heaters, gives you almost no play whatsover to lower the wick and you must, while holding onto the knob, press the off button, which releases the wick. Other heaters are designed to give you enough play with the knob to lower the wick w/o having to use the release/off button. So, getting it to lower just right is a pain. It usually lowers too much or you end of with the wick contracting completely and have to start from ground level again. Now, it's not THAT big of a deal (for me anyway), just a minor irritation. I can live with it. But it may be a bit too troublesome for someone who isn't experienced with kerosene heaters. I still enjoy the heater, it warms a bedroom or living area very nicely without sucking so much kerosene like the bigger guys, but if you do decide to purchase this, be ready to fight with the wick a little to get it lowered after it's burning. They need to redesign the clockwork mechanism with that knob. Besided that, I like everything else. It's fun to be able to watch the flame dance around. The fuel guage is nice to let you know how your kero supply is doing. The carrying handle is well built and it's not too heavy to carry around even with a full tank of kero like the bigger units. I rate this unit a straight B. It would be an A+ if it weren't for that knob.

Basically I like the heater. It looks to be the smallest I could find in the US. Maybe, though, I should have gone with one named 'alpaca' shipped from Korea which would have cost $175. in total. I light the heater outside, wait for it to warm up and bring it inside. Then take it outside to shutoff because they smell bad. The wick knob ratchet DID NOT work at all on my heater! The plastic release lever was not connected to anything! I cut the hooks off on both ends of the spring on this adjuster and now I can adjust the wick and simply turn the knob all the way counterclockwise to shut it off. I called World Marketing and told them I want some refund in price because it didn't work at all and there were already other complaints. She told me she wasn't giving me any refund. The instruction on assembly are not good and don't describe how to install the wick well. I have a CO detector just above my wood stove door and see it works every time I open the door. These kerosene heaters need to be operated in a narrow range or they'll produce CO and smell. This woman tried to tell me CO is made from re-burning CO2. She has it backwards-I could look this up and calculate the change in energy states of each reaction if need be. I give this product and WM zero stars. I've seen this before. Some importers think they can make a good profit for themselves and all they have to do is import stuff from China or wherever and don't even inspect to see if the parts fit together.

I have a very large garage. It's 13 feet high, 20'x40'. The heater uses quite a bit of fuel per hour, but only has to run for 20 minutes to warm the entire garage to a good working temp. And the garage stays warm for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours after I shut it off. So, for an average of $3.00 to $5.00 per hour I can have my garage back.

Many Asian households have this appliance but non-Asians seem to not know about it. This is a convenient way to always have boiling hot water at hand for making tea or instant ramen and instant soups. While the typical "American" electric tea kettle requires you to plug in and boil water each time it is turned on (thereby necessitating a wait of at least 3-5 minutes), this water heater boils water and keeps it boiling hot for days until you dispense all of it and have to refill/reboil it. I have found it very useful to have a personal water heater at my office desk (where it is the envy of all my colleagues yet somehow they are resistant to buying one themselves due to cultural suspicion), and also one at home. One caveat is that since it is constantly plugged in, it may use up a lot of electricity. Also you have to be careful of children accidentally dispensing it and scalding themselves (this model has a "lock" button). Lastly, you should never immerse the appliance in water and it is certainly not dishwashable. The Tiger model is not cheap but it is a high quality, well-made appliance that will last for years.

I got this one to replace a Tiger water heater I got over 16 years ago. That one has to be pumped manually. This one is much better since it pumps the water out automatically.

I like the 6-hr timer (only single setting, single push to activate) that shuts the heater down for six hours then restarts it. This save energy since my house is 50 degree at night and I don't drink in these 6-hr time period. It also heats up the water before I get up. The 3-liter capacity is more than sufficient for my consumption rate of 1.2 L each time. My previous unit was 5-liter, which is too much to heat up.

The lid takes about 2 seconds to get use to. If you use the left hand to open it, you'd need to use your thumb to push down on the front-end which pivots the back end of the retangular latch upward, then use your pointing finger and/or the middle finger to lift the lid up. The lid is removeable for cleaning which is nice.

The insulation is quite good. I set the temperature at 208 deg F and my ambient temperature is 50 deg F constant so the water reheated about 3 hours each time for about 20 seconds. This is not bad at all. Even my bottled hot water heater reheat much often than this, about 20 minutes each time based on the same constant 50 deg F ambient temp.

I bought this unit after reading others' review and they were pretty accurate. I enjoy my coffee at 208 deg F instead of either not hot enough (bottled hot water heater) or too hot using microwave oven.

This unit has a lazy susan which make it very easy to rotate. The negative this is that the power cord is held onto the unit by two rather weak magnets so if you rotate the unit too quick or to much ( greater than 60 degrees), the power cord can detach from the unit easily. Be careful when washing the unit. Read and follow the instruction and the warning label on the unit.

The bottom line: a strong recommendation to buy.

Best Deals on 3 Liter Digital Water Heater

I bought my Tiger water heater in Korea in the mid 90s while working there. I keep it plugged in all day and love this. I was worried I'd not be able to replace this if mine ever quit on me so I just looked it up and so glad I will be able to get another one if mine ever dies. I have this instead of a coffee pot and really love it. Ever so often, I put a cup or so of vinegar into the hot water (fill to the line), unplug it and let it set overnight to clean all the minerals from my water. The next morning, I just wipe with dish rag inside and then I rinse well and fill up again. This keeps any build-up from inside the kettle. I'm just thrilled I was able to find this online to order when I need one. I might even order one soon as a "back-up" just in case. Yes, it's funny when my friends visit, they have never seen anything like this and act like it's an "Asian" thing. Now I can tell them they can get one, too.

In the manual, they mention that your wine should already be cold since it can take hours to get it chilled using their unit. It is not good for quickly chilling anything at a moments notice. They should change the product description to reflect the true use/ability of this unit.

I love this little gadget which keeps my drinks cold all day long even in the Arizona summer heat!

The product arrived exactly as described and in perfect condition, and the price was very reasonable.

I own two of these, one in a small bathroom, and one in a larger 9' X 9' bathroom.

The unit is compact; it has a plastic part that you fasten into the wall, and then the heater rotates sideways to fit into it, then back to vertical to lock in place.

The controls have a power button, a LOW button, a HIGH button, and several temperature settings. We don't use the temperature settings, so I won't comment on them here. The heater works great in both locations; the small bathroom uses low heat and the larger bathroom uses high heat.

One needs to be aware that when powering off the unit, you have to hold the button; the lights will change (clockwise), but the next time you power on the unit, the last setting you used will be set. In other words, if you have the unit on HIGH and you PRESS the power button, it will go to LOW heat. In the same situation if you HOLD the power button, the light will indicate LOW heat for a second before the unit turns off, but the next time you power up it will be in HIGH heat.

The unit has an overtemp circuit if it gets too hot it will shut down and it requires a lot of time to completely cool before it will allow a power up. We discovered this when we attempted HIGH heat in our smaller bathroom but now we save energy by using the LOW setting, so it was a good experience.

The unit also has an ALCI plug, which means that if you drop it in the tub or just generally get it wet, the unit will disconnect from the mains and is not hazardous the plug will simply blow it's circuit and the unit shuts down. This is perfect for bathrooms.

Excellent unit, great operation, nice design. Recommended.

I bought this heater last year for the guest bathroom thinking it was inexpensive, and small.

Now that it started getting cold again I could not find the bigger heater for my master bath, so I got this "little one". I mounted it on the wall (away from the bathtub and shower). It took all of one minute to mount it.

The thermostat setting is great because I leave the unit running all the time at 65 degrees, then bring it up to 70 in the morning. It only came on once or twice overnight, but the bathroom is not icy cold.

This is a compact, lightweight heater. Bought it on sale and its well worth the money. Very effective for small spaces. Heats up fast, thermostat works fine (so far!). Stable on the floor, can also be mounted on the wall.

Honest reviews on Holmes Wall Mount Space Heater Fan

Pros:

has thermostat you can set by 5 degree increments.

Cons:

turning the unit on and off is difficult

thermostat settings don't go low enough and have a useless high end

I have a Lasko 754200 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat, but the continuous thermostat doesn't have any degree markings. I thought I would try this Holmes heater that has settings for 60,65,70,75, and 80 degrees. I use this in an unheated attic that I use for office space when I work from home. I find myself wanting to turn the heater on or off several times a day, but there is NOT simple on/off switch. There are 13 settings on the heater:

1. off

2. low no thermostat

3. hi no thermostat

4.-8. low on each of 5 thermostat settings

9.-13. high on each of 5 thermostat settings

There is a single button to cycle through these settings. If the heater is on low/65, then you have to push the button exactly 4 times to turn the heater off. If you accidentally push it on too many times, then you have to push it 12 more times to cycle through all the settings again. Very annoying if you want to change the settings with any frequency.

The thermostat is set in 5 degree increments which is fine enough me. However, I could see myself wanting a temperature setting of less than 60 degrees at some point (such as to prevent pipes from freezing), but this isn't available. Yet the unit does have an 80 degree setting, which I can't see myself ever using. At 80 degrees, I am turning the air conditioning on!

I will not be buying another one of these in the future, but will go with the Lasko instead, which I have really liked. You don't know the exact temperature setting you are getting with the thermostat with the Lasko. However, on the Lasko the thermostat has a much greater range and is very easy to turn on and off. This Holmes unit works great if you always need the same setting, but otherwise it is a pain.

I bought this for my father's bathroom so he could turn it on and be warm after he showers. It's compact and fits perfectly in a spot between the shelving and doorway. I had thought this device doubled as a cooling fan but it's just a heater. The blower pushes out a good amount of heat and it works great for the small room.

I ordered this thermostat to run my new Mr. Heater Big Maxx 75K BTU natural gas unit heater. It was defective and won't work. My installer checked it with his meter and it indeed is defective. It's obviously a cheap imitation of a thermostat. Don't buy one. I've decided to just buy one locally.

i ordered this thermostat to use with my propane heater and when it arrived discovered it was just plain cheap, comparable one at wal-mart sells for 8.00. not worth it, does not need to be this one to work your heater, buy one at lowes or walmart same money but better quality.

Anyone wondering about the performance of these units should not be worried. Used in a 24 x 32 garage in Virginia, the garage is well insulated but has two 10 x 16 overhead drive through doors, two large windows and a pedestrian door...so..there is more than enough air-infiltration. Does not matter, set at 50 degrees all winter and burned a nominal 88 gallons of propane. If you need to warm the space up quick, just turn it up and it makes it toasty in 20 minutes. Good luck....

Best Nordic Pure 20x24x4M12-1 MERV12 AC Furnace Air Filter, Box of 1 Deals

Understand that when you receive your box, the filter itself will be unwrapped and will not have any identification on it. If your box arrives unsealed (and 2 of my boxes have) you may suspect a scam when the outside package is genuine, and an unscrupulous reseller has replaced the contents with junk.

Nordic says that they don't print the Nordic name on their product to save money. They do print the size and air flow direction, so adding their name won't change their cost. At best, it allows them to manufacture for bulk sale to other companies. Wonder who is reselling re-branded Nordic filters, and do they cost less???

Printing an ID on the filter...

1) Adds marketing push to the Nordic brand,

2) Assures the consumer they've received the quality they think they are purchasing, and

3) Puts the Nordic name in front of the consumer when filter replacement time comes.

I can't assure you that I received a MERV 12 filter, but it does resist airflow more than the MERV 8 filter I replaced does. This could just be thicker filter material or reduced surface area, not better material that will stop more and smaller particles. Nordic, despite the product picture, doesn't identify the filter as even Nordic, let alone MERV 12. {Minus 1 star.}

PS: Other vendors such as Honeywell have upgraded their standard filter MERV rating. If I re-order the part number on Honeywell sticker on my furnace, I will now get a MERV 11 instead of the old MERV 8, and pay the lower MERV 8 price. {Minus 1/2 star.}

PPS: What Nordic calls a 4" filter is actually 3 1/2 inches thick. Other vendors 4" filters are actually 4 3/8 inches thick. Measure your old one, and read the manufacture's dimensions CAREFULLY. {Minus 1/2 star.}

These filters appear to be doing a good job. We're seeing less dust around the house which is great.

One comment once I got the filter out of the box there wasn't any info on the filter itself documenting the MERV level, and in fact the shipping box was somewhat unclear as to whether I had received a MERV 12 or MERV 13 filter. To Nordic's credit they answered the phone, talked to me about the product and how they make it, and I was convinced I made a good purchase.

I will certainly look to Nordic Pure as my go to filter in the future. Very nice company, good product, good price.

The filter was the correct size and was just recently installed. The shipping box was slightly damaged. The filter fit, but was slightly less wide than the Filtrete filter I purchased last time.

Nothing to complain about, it fits and it works like any other filters. Don't know if 3M is really better or not, but this will serve its purpose.
