Honeywell CF100A1025 4-Inch High Efficiency Air Cleaner Filter

Below information is from one website I found for MERV rating. The one I have is 12. This is only 8. That is why so cheap, only 60% of the price.

"MERV ratings are used to rate the ability of an air conditioning filter to remove dust from the air as it passes through the filter. MERV is a standard used to measure the overall efficiency of a filter. Higher MERV ratings mean fewer dust particles and other airborne contaminants pass through the filter.

MERV ratings are determined by adding particles of varying sizes (1-12) into a controlled testing environment. The particles are added upstream of the test filter and a laser particle counter samples the air before it enters the filter and after it leaves the filter. The two particle counts are compared to calculate the Particle Size Efficiency of the tested filter. Once this is determined, a MERV Parameters chart is used to determine the MERV rating.

MERV ratings range from 1 16 and measurements are in microns. Some of the common particles related to MERV ratings are pet dander, insecticide dust, smog, dust, viruses, wood, tobacco smoke, spores, bacteria and pollen.

Some of the most common filters found in residential use only have a merv rating of 1 to 4. These are typically disposable panel type filters and do not do a good job of filtering the air because they will not stop particles smaller than 10 microns.

Merv 5 to 8 rated filters are a better choice and are more commonly found in commercial applications. These filters will collect particles as small as 3 microns and are a good choice for home owners also.

Filters with a merv rating of 9 to 12 are used in commercial and industrial applications and will stop particles in the 1 to 3 micron range. These filters are a great choice for home owners who want the best dust control possible. When using filters with Merv 9 ratings and above it is important to clean or replace them when recommended by the manufacturer because they will have a negative effect on air flow when they become dirty. This can lead to performance problems and decreased operating efficiency.

The most efficient filters have merv ratings of 13 to 16 and will stop particles as small as .3 microns. These filters are used in hospitals and other super clean environments."

Air Filter Furnace Whistle

I like the idea of this product, but don't see how it can work with the design of my air filters. I have several cats, and am never sure when is the right time to change my furnace air filter. So, I ordered this product, thinking it would give me a better idea of when to do that. The filter I currently have installed, and a couple of others I have on reserve, all have wire honeycombed throughout the filter, and I cannot attach the whistle. I don't buy the cheapest filters, more like the mid-range-priced ones, so maybe the cheaper ones don't have the wire in them and so would allow me to attach the Air Filter Furnace Whistle. I'll report back after I have checked out other kinds of filters.

Miele S194 Quickstep Universal Vacuum Cleaner

I bought 4 other vacuums before I found this one. The dog hair from our two dogs killed the others or got tangle in the wheels. This vacuum is very powerful, yet quiet enough to not disturb my sleeping dogs. It never gets clogged because of it's simple design. It is the best on the market as far as I'm concerned. The exhaust is filtered so the air is fresh. My only complaint is that it could use a longer cord.

iHeater 1500 SQ FT Infrared Heater

iHeater IH-1500 Quartz Infrared Heater Best Value on Amazon

I am very pleased with this product. It lives up to all they say about it, with possibly one exception. It costs more than a $1 a day to run. It did raise my electric bill considerably, but it lowered my gas bill as well. I've given it one less star than top rating because dealers are misrepresenting the cost to operate.

What is so great is that I was much more comfortable running this heater. It keeps my whole home (granted, a small home 1100 sq feet) warm. It is such a comfortable, even heat. Not like my forced air furnace which makes the room either too hot or too cold about 50% of the time. And the heat is even throughout the house, unlike the furnace where some rooms are too warm and some too cold. I don't feel the drafts as much, the air isn't dry and I don't have to run a humidifier. My furnace rarely kicks in.

It is hard to believe that a small compact unit can do such a big job and do it safely. Only the small output area gets hot. Having a remote and being easily programmable is a definite plus also.

I am so pleased I made this purchase.
