Last year I reopened the coil wondering if it should be recleaned. Nope. It was barely dirty. I cleaned it anyway because I had the duct opened up.
Heck yes they work. On mine i can take it apart so I can see the dirt and pet hair in it.
Project Farm tested filters. Their conclusion was that unless you got a really thick filter - like 2 inches in depth +, the higher the filtering the more air flow was reduced. That makes sense. The thicker the filter the more material can go into it without packing it in as tightly = more flow and likely longer duration before the filter clogs.
The washable they tested isn't the one I own, but it did a fine job, scoring about in the middle for the 1 inch category.

I figure let the A/C do it's thing, and get an air cleaner do it's thing.
I appreciate you sharing all that. It helps re-enforce my decision!

I recommend examining the ductwork above the furnace for some type of opening strategy. I had to make cuts into the front facing panel with tin snipes to slide it off the pipes. I seal those small cuts up after with aluminum ducting tape.
It took at least an hour to clean out what they left using a long brush, a product like Scrubbing bubbles and a five gallon bucket. It was gross.

I cleaned the filter area, and it was filthy. Caked on dust. The only way to get into it is to cut the box, and I bet the coils are equally nasty. Why don't they make these A/Cs with easier access to clean. Seeesh!

I wouldn't know what they use but it's likely the same thing we would use. Radiator type cleaner (scrubbing bubbles) and a some type of brush with water also. You can't clean the coil with some magic trick where you do not have to enter the duct. Just get your hands dirty and look for a way in. Watch Youtube, they may have some info on there.
Before I run my AC this year I'm probably going to go out and open up the outside unit to clean the condenser out. Same idea, scrubbing bubbles and a sprayer and brush. Hardest part about that job is dealing with the sheet metal.
My 4 filters were crushed and bent upon delivery. I had to exchange them in store and the gentleman at customer service indicated that this is a common problem when shipped.
