Our take on the K&N 20-in W x 20-in L x 1-in Washable MERV 8 Pleated Air Filter HVC-8-12020

The K&N HVC-8-12020 is a 20 x 20 x 1 inch pleated HVAC filter rated MERV 8 and built to be washed and reused instead of replaced. K&N's washable design targets the cost and waste of disposable filters, and MERV 8 captures dust, pollen and lint but not fine smoke or virus-sized particles. At $49.99 at Lowe's as of November 7, 2026, it is the only new price listed; it costs several times a single disposable filter but can pay back over a few years of reuse.

Best forHomeowners tired of buying disposable filters every few monthsHouseholds with pets or dusty roomsBudget-conscious buyers counting cost per yearStandard 20x20x1 return grilles
Pros
  • Washable and reusable, so no repeat filter purchases
  • MERV 8 handles dust, pollen, lint and pet hair
  • Pleated media gives more surface area than a flat washable filter
  • Rigid frame holds shape through repeated cleaning
  • Fits standard 20 x 20 x 1 inch slots
Cons
  • Upfront price is far higher than a disposable MERV 8 filter
  • MERV 8 does not capture fine smoke or virus-sized particles
  • Needs rinsing and full drying before reinstall
  • One filter per pack, so multi-filter homes pay more

How often should I clean it?
Most homes rinse it every one to three months, more often with pets or heavy dust.

Over several years of reuse it can cost less than buying disposable MERV 8 filters every few months, but only if you clean it on schedule.
