I bought a very similar one from eBay for exactly the same reason. My filter is 12x36 and I had trouble finding that size and they were $12 or more each. I paid more than this for mine, I bought mine about 3 years ago for about $40.

I clean mine every 3 months. I use a hose to run water through the filter and there are arrows which tell you the direction to run water through it to clean it (mine has them and I'm guessing this one does as well). Just be sure to give it about 6-8 hours to completely dry before putting it back in. I hold mine up and rotate it after washing to get as much water to run out after washing. Also, if you have a AC unit that sits outside, be sure to wash off the cooling fins at least once a year. Doing it yourself takes about an hour or you can pay to have it done. Time/money well spent.

I have a buddy who is an AC tech who says there is no reason to let it dry. You don't want it dripping through dry doesn't matter. The way he explain it is that your AC is made to pull humidity out of the air so a little extra from a damp filter isn't going to hurt it. he's personally been doing this for decades without any adverse affects.

seems like a pretty great deal..can't speak to the brand, but the specs and lifetime warranty are win-wins for this price. not to mention the greater eco-friendliness! Smilie

Bought one of these a couple months ago because my unit has the worst size of 12x25 which does not seem to be sold anywhere. Have not washed it out yet and questionable on life time warranty but I got it due to only real option for my size.

Paid $35 in Jan for reference.

I mean you could buy a bigger filter and cut it down to 12x25, no?

idk about these washable ones...
Yeah that is always a solution. Just not a fan of it losing the long side of strength. If I was cutting the 12" side would be more open to it. I have 16x25 on my other unit which is why I did that but figured this route would be better.

Yup. I pick up a couple of cans of Frost King HVAC cleaner and do the outside unit once a year. Works great.

I didn't have luck with these. Even monthly cleaning had too much build up over time to feel comfortable with using. The return suction was sizably less. I guess it really depends on your system/house/locations/etc. Still worth a try if you are on the fence, you might get a couple months at worse or find it works for your house and save a lot in the long run.

Does the filter actually work though?

I'm looking at the thumbnail and the sizes in the description, and these are the smallest plasma TVs I've ever seen.

I've never had luck with washable filters. It gets messy if there is much collection on them (wet & dust = grime), never can get it 100% clean, and I don't like the idea of putting water into the system (you should be good with a good air drying for a long time - so no A/C while drying or buy 2?).

All the HVAC people I've had say to just get the cheapest air filter.
