3M 8000 Particle Respirator N95, 30-Pack Reviews
Aside from recent challenges expressed by others in obtaining N95 respirators, I ordered a 30 pack from Deerso at $13.98/box and received them promptly. I should hope that anyone reading these reviews realizes that the bulk of the negative feedback is not product related, but just people caught up in the swine flu hysteria.
As stated, this is a good mask for a great price. Anyone familiar with the various types of respirators on the market will realize that a N95 is a far better mask than those marketed as “dust masks” you find at the hardware store. Those sell for $2-$5 for a two pack, these provide better protection and at $13-$15 for a box of 30, is a much better bargain.
The mask is perfect for anyone with alergies and/or asthma, which pretty much describes me. They are firm to the touch, as opposed to the soft cloth green surgical N95’s (which cost more), and have dual elastic straps that hold tight throughout a long day. They are perfect for the garden, cleaning around the house & yard, changing the cat litter, doing anything with flour, and especially dusting & vacuming. Compared to softer masks, this mask actually breathes better and I don’t sweat under it as much.
Like all masks, the metal nose clip is very helpful and, perhaps this is just my imagination, seems to hold better. Meaning it doesn’t give way as easily as other brands I have tried, where you have to keep pinching it every so often to close the gap over your nose. This is a big issue to anyone like myself who wears glasses and they keep fogging up if your mask doesn’t fit well.
As for my two cents on whether or not this is a good “flu mask,” N95 means the mask will prevent 95% of particles from getting through. The only way to be really, really sure is to get a N100 mask and have it be a full fask mask as germs can just as easily get into you via your eyes and ears. Is anyone seriously going to wear one of those all the time?
For me, a N95 mask is better than a regular mask and falls into the category of “good enough” (for me).
Overall, this was a great buy
These face masks are high quality and are comfortable to wear. I use them when scooping my cat’s litter boxes so I do not inhale the litter dust that escapes into the air.
We are living in China, use the masks for occassional dust storms blowing through the city. Also, carry them on hand while bicycling for dust problems while travelling through small towns. Works great!
I live in Ensenada, Baja California, México. I got these for my family and every body is very comfortable wearing them. The only thing is to remember to wash your hands before putting and taking them off. I can recomend this product for its 3M quality and price
Great masks. I bought 2 packs to keep in our family “emergency kit.” They fit my small head pretty well. I’m a female with petite frame. They also fit my husband who is medium build. I am not so happy with the fluctuating costs, but lucky to get these at a decent price. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to be prepared for any unforeseen events. Personally, I’d rather be safe than sorry.
