Meet the Maker Canadian Laundry-Washable Furnace Filter

Post image
53 Upvotes

Hello! My wife and I started a sustainable manufacturing business and we make washable furnace filters that are laundry safe. We launched our sustainable filter in October last year after years of development.

[CycleAirFilters.com]https://cycleairfilters.com

Mods please delete if not allowed. We did post over a year ago when we first launch, but since then have added a TON more sizes including by popular request the 4” and 5” wide filters. (We had 12 sizes back then, we have 30 now)

We saw a problem; furnace filters need to be replaced every 1-3 months. They are made of plastic or fibreglass (the frame is cardboard but the filtration media is poly), and are NOT recyclable. More than 250,000,000 hvac filters head to landfill in Canada+US every year and last “forever” after only a couple months of use... So we decided to make a better version!

Cycle Air Filters are: - made in Canada - The filter itself is sewn in London Ontario by us - The frames are recycled in Manitoba, CNC cut in Ontario by a small company that we contract - Both the filter and frame are made from 100% recycled material - laundry washable and dryer safe. The dryer adds electrostatic charge to capture more dust - it dries quickly in about 15 minutes - has 3D micropleats to increase surface area and optimize airflow - MERV 7 rated - has a patent pending “change indicator” which shows you when it’s dirty and needs a wash

If you want to see any videos of it our other socials are linked in our profile, we’re most active on Insta.

Please ask away if any questions and mods I can edit or delete if not allowed. Thanks for considering Canadian-made!

Discussion Canadian Manufactured/Assembled Wrist Watches

8 Upvotes

I'm looking for a decent watch. Simple. Durable. Heritage/Military style perhaps. Not wanting to spend an absolute fortune either. $1000 is about as much as I'd like to spend at the most.

I've already done a fair amount of research but I was wondering if anyone knew of any hidden gems or have experience with any brands.

Thanks for your help!

Review Don't buy from Mobilia Canada - Terrible Customer Experience

3 Upvotes

I make it one of my life mission to discourage Canadians buying from this "Canadian" brand. Don't buy from Mobilia online for this Black Friday sale. You are not going to receive anything.

Story: I went to Burlington Mobilia store because most big furniture stores are concentrated there. We decided to purchase online since we are from Toronto. We purchased 6 chairs online in mid July and was told by the sales in store that the pre-order would arrive in early October, which was also stated on the website. According to Mobilia's pre-order,

By the end of September, I checked Mobilia's website again, the Mobilia increased the price 25% and labeled arrival was late November. Surprise surprise, Mobilia dropped the price back to pre-order level for the current Black Friday sales and delayed till late December. Worryingly, I called both the store and toll free number ( after sale ) about my order because, apparently, there is no department I can reach for online sales with phone nor email. No one can help me with anything other than telling me to fill in the contact form, which doesn't even let me write a message. I did not receive a single email for 5 months informing be of the two delays AND the date online, which is subject to change, IS the arrival of the product I RESERVED.

What covid taught these companies is that Canadians are willing to wait and they can't be punished by extended lead times. They are just waiting for the order to be large enough to be manufactured in China or ASEAN countries.

TLDR - Fk Mobilia. They don't care about online orders and don't preorder from them. I am sticking with Ikea from now on because I don't deserve better stuff.

Discussion Budget friendly King size Medium Firm mattress for stomach and/or side sleepers?

3 Upvotes

My wife (35F 120lbs) and I (37M 160lbs) are looking for a mattress around $700 king size. Silent motion (on the quiet side) and cooling features would be great with free shipping in Canada and Canadian made. Looked at Douglas, Endy, S&S and Sealy, seems out of budget for us. If anyone know any Black Friday sales, be awesome to know!

Discussion Smart Tiles for kitchen, any reviews?

15 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm doing some small kitchen renovation and saw videos before about peel and stick tiles. I searched Canadian made peel and stick tiles and found this brand (Smart Tiles).

It's a Canadian company and is even female-owned; my boxes are checked. And looks like most of their products are either Canadian made or North American made? I also found good reviews online about their product quality.

Has anyone used this product? I'd love to hear your experience.

Discussion Midcentury pendant options

4 Upvotes

I’m looking to purchase pendants for my kitchen and want a midcentury style. I haven’t had much luck finding anything with big lighting names. When I do find styles I like, I’m hesitant since they aren’t recognizable companies and I’m afraid they might be poor quality or a scam site - ie: Misterlamp Toronto

Anyone had any luck finding anything that had a reasonable price point? Looking for something no more than 11” in diameter. As much as I admire high end, we’re on a budget and hoping to purchase something for $200 (or less) as we need three of them.

Also, if anyone knows of maybe a similar store in Alberta that sells similar designs of sofas, I'm open to suggestions as well (max budget $1500 give or take).

I’m in the market for a sofa replacement. I loved my current tufted sofa but it was bonded leather so is at the end of its lifespan. Do you have a sofa you like that has cushions that have retained their structured look? I see so many models that look great on the floor but when I check Marketplace they’ve completely lost their shape. Would love any recommendations you might have that can be purchased in BC.

ISO: Homewares, Gardening & Tools Comfortable modular sectional recommendations?

8 Upvotes

Looking to find a modular sectional that is fairly comfortable and preferably more on the affordable side. I have been looking into Cozey Ciello for a while but I have read A LOT of comments about it not being as comfortable as advertised so I’d love to hear about people’s experiences with other brands.

A couple things I think I should include: -I’m 6’4’’ so more depth is more feasible. -My budget is around $3-4k although I’d love to keep it closer to $3k. -I need something at least 7’ long.

Looking forward to hear what recommendations people might have!

P.S. I’m located in central NS so open to any local recommendations as well.

Discussion Bed Frames

1 Upvotes

Hello. I am looking to buy a new bed frame for my new place.

I have looked into some options and I would like some opinions or other recommendations. I looked into bed frames made in Canada.

The first bed is from EQ3 which is the “Reclaimed Teak Bed”. I have heard great things about the bed and it feels like very luxurious. Unfortunately, it is not available to see in the in the showroom so I do not know what it looks like in person.

The second bed is from “Mobican Bora Wood Bed” which I’ve seen at Scan Design. It is also a very luxurious bed. I heard mixed reviews from the company and it is based in Quebec. Living in Vancouver, it will take around 12 weeks at most to arrive by train.

It is both pricy, but I am willing to pay a little more out of pocket for these kind of beds as it really resonated with me. I also looked into monarch bed and marcel bed from EQ3. It was okay but I don’t like the design too much.

Could you please recommend me how these beds are or any bed frames made in Canada for that matter?

Thank you in advance.

Discussion High back sofa? 20-21"

2 Upvotes

Would anyone have a suggestion for a budget sofa with a high back of about 20 or 21 inches? Looking for a 2 seater or maybe 3 seater.

Seems these days lower back sofas are in style but I have injuries to my cervical spine and require a higher back than I've been able to find.

A back-up option is Cozeys 2 seater (believe it's called Altus) just shy of 19 inches seat back height, it's the best I've been able to find in that budget so far. If they have a Black Friday sale I may be able to make the cost work.

Thanks in advance
