From the manufacturer
Why are 3M Electrostatic Air Conditioner Filters a necessity at your home?
With increasing constructions around the house, traffic pollution, and depleting greenery, Quality of air inside your home also becomes poor. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Indoor Air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. The cleanliness regime like dusting, cleaning the house, regularly changing the linen & so on does not filter the invisible Pollutants inside the home. 3M AC Filter enables your air conditioners to remove PM2.5 and other Micro-Particle pollutants from the air inside your home so you can breathe in clean your air while you cool down. AC Mesh/Filter Present in AC doesn’t filter Invisible pollutants.

Quick fix for reducing airborne dust particles
The filter picks up a lot of dust and has helped reduce the allergies to a great extend. It is a bit expensive as the product lasts barely a month and has to be replaced frequently. It would great if a reusable version was available.

Great product and works really well to filter off minute …
Great product and works really well to filter off minute particles, dust and pollution. The only downside is that it gets completely choked within a week to 10 days and isnât reusable after a wash. Being as expensively priced, it doesnât make sense buying 3-4 sets a month. The company can easily bring down the price to less than a quarter considering the material used isnât too costly, but itâs 3M so thatâs really not happening unless some of the Indian companies start to manufacture and sell the same for a much lesser price.

VERY MUCH HANDY TO USE
Need to see the performance & most important dispatch packing is not good.

Over Priced & Over Hyped
Converting AC to Air Purifier sounds very exciting, but the reality is quite different. Let me summarize the points here:Good:- Quality is probably too good for an ACBad:- Extremely over priced- This filter is too tight (smaller pores compared to the standard mesh that comes with AC) for the AC air to pass through. Well, that may be good for Air Purifier. But here the AC (I am using a Hitachi) is trying its best to bring the temperature down of the room, whereas this filter is blocking the airway. So, as a net result – AC is working extra hard to pass the cool air & pushing the compressor over time. I noticed an average 60-80% extra time being required for the AC to provide cooling (& hence extra effort, additional electricity).Conclusion:- If you are not bothered about electricity consumption, go ahead & use it.- This may give you peace of mind of cleaner air, but probably at the cost of AC wear & tear.- But I am not going to waste money of these anymore.

Great filter
Nice filter not only for acs but also for tower fans!

Does its job but not very sustainable
Installation – Installed within my Hitachi window AC since 2 weeks now. Though designed for a split AC, it fitted my window AC perfectly (refer images) – I did not even have to cut or resize it in any manner (gaps left at both sides for airflow as is recommended). The pack comes with two filters, I have only used onePerformance – Note that I installed it behind my regular AC filter (and not in front of it), meaning that it is catching substances that have passed through the regular AC filter. In only 2 weeks the 3M filter has turned largely black (refer images) – the white lines are where the regular AC filter is shielding the 3M filter and hence where it has retained its original white colour. FYI I live in Kolkata on a relatively quiet dead-end residential street1. The AC output drops slightly – in my case its been small and acceptable. Could however irritate you if your AC is particularly old/weak, or during peak summer months (am currently using it in September in Kolkata)2. For the brutal pollution during winter months in most Indian cities, there is no way this product can match stand alone air purifiers – while its capturing all this ‘black’, the drop in pollution per my air quality meter is not as fast or strong as an air purifier would be3. My big issue with this product though is its life. On the one hand am happy that it captures all this dirt but on the other hand am unsure how effective it will be after 1-2 weeks once it has turned this blackIn summary, it is definitely not a replacement for air purifiers during winter months. Not very worthwhile for the rest of the year too unless you do not own an air purifier or have packed it away, and install this in your AC so that you get slightly cleaner air at the same time as you are using your AC

Best in class filter for existing AC in ur bedroom
I use this product since 1 year I have fitted it on my carrier 1.5 ton split ac and it works perfect , you can feel the purity of air and I get it replaced when the ac indoor unit founds it hard to flow air , and starts flapping, u can hear the sound , it is the time to replace normally I require to replace it in 2 months , but it is cost effective as it fits in my existing ac and I have diverted my mind in not to go for air purifiers which are costly 10k+ and regular costly filter change , u can subscribe and get it more cheaper approx 5rs /day is not cost to worry to breathe easy , excellent product from 3 M
