Tools and Hardware Reviews of 3M 8210Plus Particulate Respirator N95, 20-Pack

Customer Review: Help with dust alergies
Summary: 1 Stars

I purchased this product o help with my dust allergies. Unfortunately there seems to be something in the mask that causes me to cough as well so it doesn't work for my allergies.

Customer Review: Highly recommend
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent quality, good price, great seller - through my research found that Homeland Security, American Red Cross, FEMA, etc. all recommended this level of mask for personal emergency preparedness. Additionally, the Health Department recommended this level for H1N1, etc.

Customer Review: If your getting this to keep from catching the H1N1....
Summary: 5 Stars

... it didn't protect our family (and I really wanted it to) :(

I went to the CDC website, did a months worth of research into everything we could do as a family to not catch this flu. I bought a box of these masks, a box of medical gloves, literally GALLONS of hand sanitizers, and every kind of over the counter medicine to help boost our immune systems to keep from catching this flu.

After much diligence (I even took my kids out of school for a few days when a kid in their class came down with it), it still found a way to hit our whole family.

My husband came down with it first. Once he was home sick, the whole family used these masks, including him. I figured we would have even less chance of him spreading the germs if he wore one too. Between the masks, gloves and obsessive surface sanitizing, we all managed to keep from getting it for about 6 days. Then I caught it. A few days later both of my kids caught it. Then a few days after them, both my parents caught it (they helped watch my kids at their house while I was sick). We all wore these masks religiously, but the close, daily contact with people in the household who were sick was too much and it found a way through.

We were tested and found it to be the H1N1. We all had different degrees of severity to the illness. My mother became ill fast and was rushed to the ER by ambulance. My father developed such a bad cough he ended up with a hernia and will need to surgically repaired. Myself and my kids were placed on Tamiflu (which to warn you, can make you very sick to your stomach), my husband however recovered after a mere 5 days (the rest of us it took weeks to get better).

The ONLY thing that ever worked was the Emergen-C drink, used to boost the immune system. Our flu's hung on for weeks and no amount of prescribed medications (Tamiflu, antibiotics, steroids) would make it go away. But as soon as we started taking that, we all got better FAST. I don't know if it would have prevented catching the flu, but it finally gave our body some ability to fight it.

I gave this mask 5 stars because it's a great mask. This mask was not manufactured to prevent the spread of viruses, so I can not take away from it's rating because it did not do so for us. You can really tell that it is filtering the air. It even filters out smells. Once you figure out how to get the mask to set right on your face and the straps in a good spot on your head, it stays put. I would even use these masks again if some other virus came around and I needed to try and prevent catching it. Every little bit helps, it was just too much this time around. This virus just seems to be super contagious. I'm not saying it definitely wont work for you, it just didn't work for the 6 of us.

Customer Review: List Price? Amazon Discount?
Summary: 4 Stars

I trust 3M products generally...highly innovative company and stuff they make that is copied (like duct tape) is never as good as the 3M original. That said, why is Amazon stating the "list price" is $16 for these masks, when you can get them direct from PK Safety Supply (Amazon's supplier) for $13.75...the same as Amazon?

Anyhoo...maybe its convenient for you.
