Great value filters – do the job well
Pattern Name: 12x12x1, Style: Merv 8
These filters are a great value for the price, especially getting a 6-pack. They fit perfectly (just keep in mind the actual size listed), and installation is quick and easy. I’ve been using them regularly and they do a solid job catching dust and keeping the air clean without restricting airflow. Good balance between filtration and performance. Nice to have multiple on hand so I can swap them out regularly without thinking about it. I’ll definitely keep buying these.

Amazing product, and even more AMAZING Customer Care Team!
Color: All Black Premium Gift Box, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries, Color: All Black Premium Gift Box, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
I don't normally write reviews, however I can't not mention the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Customer Care experience I had with these folks. But first, In review of the product itself, which is the 'Executive Series Black Milk Frother with Black Holster Stand'. This is my first 'frother' purchase, and I must say I was skeptical at best to try it, but I opted to purchase it anyway because of all the great things the company stands for. I figured, how good could it really work?! Well, as a matter of fact, it worked quite wonderfully! Within just a few seconds / pulses of the frother, you have beautifully frothed contents. It is simple to operate, with one hand, and just the simple push of a button. (I imagine I could even make whipped cream without dragging out a stand mixer.) The batteries, (2 AA - not included), were simple to load. And, there is a battery pull ribbon so you can also remove them easier, if you utilize the pull ribbon and thread it between the batteries. This device quickly became part of my weekend coffee routine, and I also purchased a lesser model to bring to work. (This 'Executive' one, has a holster stand, which looks nicer, and seemed to cradle the frother, instead of hooking it into the holder.) I was so happy with the frother, I was sad that one day it seemed to not be working quite as well. I thought .. hmm, maybe the batteries need to be changed? I changed the batteries, and was still experiencing it not really working. (I would press the button, but it didn't start frothing right away, and then seemed less powerful in a way when it did start. But, it did still froth.) After a second day of experiencing the same thing, I reached out to Zulay. They are gracious enough to have ALL of their contact information printed directly on their box, underneath all of the beautiful information about the company, and where / how it began. It was on a weekend, so I chose to send an email describing what I was experiencing, and asking their advice. Based off most recent attempts at Customer 'Service' with other companies, I didn't really expect to hear back. Not only DID I hear back, but I received an email from a human, not just a system-generated response with canned information. They expressed their concern for my item not working, and assured me they would make it right if given the opportunity. They wanted to confirm my order, to make sure they had the same model in stock. Within hours, they sent me a link to replace my item, and would ship it directly to me, no questions asked. No need to return the inoperable item, no need to do anything but literally click the button and wait for it to arrive. My replacement arrived, and it was the exact model I purchased. It was brand new, wrapped in package .. not some refurbished item. And, much to my shock and appreciation that almost NO ONE does this anymore, there was a hand written card included in the package thanking me for giving their family run business a shot. Well, I thank YOU for sharing YOUR family with us, and for making me feel a little like a piece of yours! I would highly recommend this product, and would certainly purchase it, or others, in the future. I would certainly also be comfortable gifting this item. Enjoy!

awesome company
Color: Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
I ordered one of the frothers and it stopped working in about 1 month. The company was so pleasant to work with and immediately sent me a new one to replace the one I had. They offered me an option of a rechargeable one with a little more cost or the battery powered free. I chose the battery powered and received it quickly. They are an awesome company with great prices and stand behind their products. Nice to see this in a company. Will be buying more items from them in the future!!
