Replacing an air filter involves more than selecting a filtration rating. The stated format and package quantity need to match the purchase you have in mind. These two MERV 11 options share several core attributes, but they differ in format, count, and listed price-enough to make the choice straightforward once those priorities are clear.
Quick verdict
Start with the stated format. The AMP-11-2025-45 is listed as a 20 × 25 × 4.5-inch option, while the AMP-11-1620-45 is listed as a 16 × 20 × 4.5-inch option. Their listed prices are separated by USD 21.60, so format should be the first sorting point, followed by package quantity and the construction details that matter to you.
| Option | Listed price | Stated format | Pack | Shared details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goodman AMP-11-2025-45 | USD 53.71 | 20 × 25 × 4.5 in. | 2 | New; pleated; MERV 11; 6-month filter life |
| Goodman AMP-11-1620-45 | USD 32.11 | 16 × 20 × 4.5 in. | 1 | New; pleated; MERV 11; 6-month filter life |
Where each product wins
- AMP-11-2025-45: The two-filter package is its clearest advantage for a shopper planning to purchase more than one filter in the stated format. Its description also calls out electrostatic polypropylene media, 12 pleats per foot, and a two-piece frame construction.
- AMP-11-1620-45: At USD 32.11, it is the lower listed-price choice, compared with USD 53.71 for the AMP-11-2025-45. It is the more direct pick when keeping the initial listed price lower is a priority.
Product notes
AMP-11-2025-45 MERV 11 Filter
The AMP-11-2025-45 suits shoppers who want the construction points named in its description to shape the decision: high-efficiency electrostatic polypropylene media, 12 pleats per foot, a two-piece frame, and 24pt wet-strength paperboard. Those details give this entry a distinct construction-focused case beyond its package arrangement. Its limitation is that MERV 11 does not set it apart from the AMP-11-1620-45; both carry the same rating. The USD 53.71 listed price is also the higher figure in this comparison. Choose this model when its stated construction approach is a meaningful part of your selection.
AMP-11-1620-45 MERV 11 Filter
The AMP-11-1620-45 is identified for furnace application and lists polypropylene as its filter media. Those descriptors make it a focused choice for shoppers who want those stated characteristics to guide the selection. Its main limitation is package quantity: it contains one filter. That can be a practical constraint when the planned purchase calls for a multi-filter package rather than a single replacement item. The lower listed price gives this model a clear role in the comparison without changing its one-filter configuration. Choose the AMP-11-1620-45 when the furnace application designation and single-filter format describe the option you intend to purchase.
Final choice by use case
Choose the AMP-11-2025-45 when its stated electrostatic media, pleat count, two-piece frame, and larger listed format are central to your decision. Choose the AMP-11-1620-45 when the furnace application designation, polypropylene media, and more compact listed format align with your intended purchase. The shared MERV 11 rating means the format, package arrangement, and listed price provide the more useful ways to separate these two options.
