MERV 8 (Great Value) captures particles down to 3 microns; MERV 12 (Filtrete) captures particles down to 1 micron including fine dust, pollen, and pet dander. For allergy sufferers, the higher MERV rating provides meaningfully better air quality. Professionals and HVAC technicians recommend MERV 11+ for allergy-sensitive households.
