Sarcastic Air Filter Review

How can one begin to describe a 4-pack of $2.97 fiberglass air filters without feeling overwhelmed?

I got an email from Lowe’s asking for a review of my latest purchase, which was $2.97 cheap air filters. So I did. And they published it.

How can one begin to describe the 4 pack fiberglass air filters without feeling overwhelmed? I purchased two four packs so that I could have some to admire in the garage while the working one is hidden behind a cover.

Installation was easy with the handy arrow pointing air flow direction (and the air flow entering the register confirmed my hunch on which way to point the filter). No glue, tape, screws, or special tools were required.

After I installed the filter it seemed as if the air was just a little cleaner, the world a little better, and a little more spring in my step. I regret that it will be almost a year before I can repeat this purchase but you know I will select this little green slice of paradise when I do. I recommend them unreservedly.
