Product review (3 stars): Not Sure If This Is Genuine Carrier
I wanted a genuine Carrier replacement filter to be sure it worked correctly and paid more for this filter over generics listed here because it is advertised as Carrier. However, I'm not so sure the filter I received is a genuine Carrier product. Once I opened the Amazon box, I saw the filter was just in an ordinary, unmarked plastic bag. I would have expected it to be inside a Carrier-branded carton. Also, the absorbent coating on the filter is not as thick as the old one I took out. It almost has no coating at all. The old one is a genuine Carrier filter installed by my local HVAC company.

This may be a generic replacement. If it is, I overpaid. I just don't know. I will look elsewhere next year. If I was certain it was generic, I would have rated it 1 star because the listing  is misleading. I gave it 3 stars because the absorbent coating is very thin.
