What is the difference between the Merv 11 ($174.95)and the Merv8 ($104.95)?

A MERV 11 filter will remove 85% of particles down to 1 or 2 microns as opposed to a MERV 8 which will remove 70% down to 3 microns. In other words the MERV 11 removes a greater Percentage of finer particles but will restrict air flow a little more especially as it gets dirty. My heating unit was designed to take a MERV 11 filter and is what the manufacturer originally installed.

I understand that the 8 has slightly better air flow than the 11. Although it's possible the 11 filters out a bit more. But truly, I just use what the installer told me to use. Sorry

It has to do with how fine the particals are that the filter will allow to pass through. The higher the number, the more it will stop.

A filter with a MERV 11 would be a more restrictive filter than a MERV 8. The 11 would catch more fine particulates, but it may also stress the heat and A/C system by not allowing sufficient air to go through. I would stick with the MERV 8 unless you have the need for super clean air in your home.

The Merv 11 was the filter that our original installer put in our system. I'm not sure of the difference between the Merv 11 and the Merv 8

In a nutshell, filtration efficiency. Merv 8 removes particles sized 10 to 3 micrometers, and is considered Better filtration. Merv 11 removes particles sized 3 to 1 micrometer and is considered Superior filtration. A HEPA filter removes particles 0.3 micrometers in size. HEPA filters are not efficient for home systems as they cost more energy to pass air through the dense filter. The best filter for home use considering removal of particle and energy cost efficiency is the Merv 11 filter. Our system was designed for Merv 11 as was our desire for an energy efficient filter with superior air filtration. It really keeps the dust low in the house with regular filter changes.

No. The $110.24 has three programs A,B,C, while the $68.86 model really has only two A,B, A&B.;

I don't know all the technical info but if you search on your computer with merve 11 it will bring up all the info you need.

There is no difference. I decided to purchase from Amazon because it is cheaper.

The box says MERK 8 but there is nothing written on the filters except the size.

The more expensive one is enhanced and the newest version . The 199.00 is the older model.

According to John Kohler at Discountjuicers.com, the only difference is cosmetic. 8004 is white plastic and 8006 is chrome plated plastic so you pay extra for the looks.

I cannot figure out the price difference since it appears there is no other difference. Sorry.

Honestly, I have no idea...sorry. Though with only an eight dollar difference, I cannot imagine there is much if any difference.

Yeah, Amazon's got this info really messed up...I can't figure out what the difference is between this model and one $40 cheaper, as apparently they're both Atoms with 2GB and 64GB storage. The price difference would make sense if one of them had more storage (or SOMETHING), but I can't figure out what the difference is.

I have no idea about the CADR and MERV rating. I sent this over to my son in Afghanistan as the dust was so bad over there. He said it worked great and was easy to clean as well. So I'm just giving you second hand info but hope it helps. It made life more bearable for him.

The $119 looks like the identical machine....maybe just because it's sold from a 3rd party and not the manufacturer directly would be guess for the price difference

It seems they make both grades of the product....the 35K hours life is ~ $10 cheaper.

I was wondering the same thing. Obviously one difference is price, in which I'm going with the cheapest!

There is no difference. Not sure why you are seeing it as more expensive. I'd just try to get the larger one at the lowest price you can find.

Hi Karen: The Merv 16 is intended for standard filter openings measuring 16inX25inX5in. I just measured what you have referred to as the height of the Merv 16. It measures around 4-3/8 in. An opening of 4-3/4 in would be around 3/8 of an inch larger than the Merv 16. As such, the Merv 16 should fit the filter opening of your AC. I would try to install the filter carefully because you would not have too much space to play with. Hope this helps.

The only difference is the adapter for the smoker. The 110 comes with a plastic threaded piece and the 120 comes with a metal bowl looking one.
