Tools and Hardware Reviews of 3M 8210Plus Particulate Respirator N95, 20-Pack
Customer Review: The good and bad
Summary: 4 Stars
I use these for my work in the garden as well as any chore that releases a lot of dust. The mask does its job well, but if you find yourself really working out hard, you'll actually find the mask unable to keep up with your breathing.Customer Review: The lesser of all evils
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't say I love wearing anything on my face, but these are my mask of choice unless the job requires a full blown respirator.
Pros: The metal strip is strong enough to keep it's shape and obviously maleable enough to shape it in the first place. The straps are strong and secure without being too tight.
Cons: Apart from wearing one at all, I have no problems with it. I've had a few straps come off in past years, but not lately. If you encounter this problem, stretch the rubber before putting in on your face the first time.
I've used others and am reminded of what 3M has to offer... especially compared to AOSafety products...
Customer Review: Unreliable and unsafe
Summary: 1 Stars
These are unreliable and unsafe. The straps routinely break unexpectedly. I've had one of them snap in as little as half an hour after I put it on. I just had one fall off my face into the mortar I was stirring. What's the point of having a mask when it falls apart when you need it? If you're around any sort of hazardous material, stay away from these and find masks that you can depend on.Customer Review: Very Good and Inexpensive
Summary: 4 Stars
These are very good and inexpensive respirators that are effective against nuisance dust, sawdust, pollen, etc. I got these as a more disposable option to supplement the other respirators I use on a regular basis. They are very high quality and comfortable for what they are, but they cannot compare to ones that have an exhalation valve to provide relief from moisture and heat build up. I consider these when I have a need for a N95 respirator and it is cool or when I will not be wearing it for a long period. While they are reasonably comfortable, they can't compare over the time with a vented unit.
The straps are very good and lend themselves to frequent and repeated use, increasing the economy of the mask. I've never had one break, and the bands do seem to retain their tension much better than bargain brands. These have a thin metal strip that can be bent to conform to the bridge of the nose to provide a better seal and a custom fit.
When you need a respirator, be certain you match the appropriate respirator to the job you are working on. You'd never use one of these when using solvents, for example, or for an environment where an N99 cartridge-style respirator is more appropriate.
Very high quality, these are my choice for short-term, disposable particulate respirators when the length of the job doesn't warrant a vented style. They provide good economy as well as effective filtration. For the proper application, I recommend these. For superior fit and greatly enhanced comfort at the N95 rating, I go with the 3M surgeon-style masks with the cool flow vent.
Customer Review: What a RIP OFF
Summary: 1 Stars
You only get ONE respirator and its not even properly wrapped, it was just thrown in a box allowing all kinds of dust and dirt to get inside....I cant even use the product and shipping was like 7.00!!!! You don't get that back if you return it.
