Yolococa 2020 Homehold Air Fresheners Air Filter Respirator with Replaceable and Reusable Filters Included 1 Pcs

I only write reviews when a product is exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. This mask is exceptionally good for me, a 77year old at 4x normal risk for serious complications from infection. There are a couple of important caveats: 1) this mask is not intended for PPE use by medical personnel, and 2) the user needs to have an IQ above room temperature. I say the latter because all the information with it is in Chinese (no English or other Western language), but anyone with even a modest amount of common sense can use and maintain the device effectively.It is unique because it is designed with 2 one-way valves (one IN and one OUT) and has an easily replaced disposable filter. (It comes with one filter in the mask and a spare in a sealed plastic bag.) I’m sure that you can find replacements online, but I find it easier to use the provided filters as a template to cut its shape out of my supply of coffee filters. (If you are not familiar with the efficacy of woven vs nonwoven filter media, you need to educate yourself before purchasing any masks.) Changing the filter is easily accomplished by pressing the button on the left side of the mask – it has an embossed arrow head showing where to press. Replace the filter medium in the plastic grille and click back in place. The head straps and elastic harness are easily adjusted for sizing, and it has a quick-release plastic hook-and-loop connector to hold the device firmly in place on your nose and mouth. It is the only mask that I’ve tried during this pandemic that actually makes a secure nearly air tight seal on my face. (All the other masks that I’ve tried require continual adjustment to stay in place – thus fostering the frequent use of bringing hands and fingers to the face!) This mask stays in place like a rock…and not interfering with my eyeglasses.I bought this mask to protect myself from airborne particles from other people. It does that perfectly. However, the EXHALE (or outward flow from my breathing through the lower one-way valve) does NOT pass through filter media. To respect the safety of others from any contamination from me, I devised a methodology to minimize airborne droplets coming from me. I take a standard sheet of paper towels and cut it into 4” x 4” squares. Whenever, I change the INHALE filter medium in the mask, I fold over a 4x4 square once and tuck it into the lower grille area to confine any droplets coming through the EXHALE valve. Works like a charm!

Came with one filter installed, one extra filter. The mask fits tight, is comfortable, and will do what I need. Arrived on time. No English instructions (Chinese), don't know where I'll order replacement filters, but I can make my own. Over all I'll give it 4/5 stars. For anyone with larger facial features, the mask may be too small. But it fits ideally for me. I'm happy with this purchase.

The face cone is comfortable, silicone for easy cleaning vs sweat and breath moisture. The valves inside,1 intake, 1 exhale are also silicone. It does require effort to breathe, so is not like breathing through thin to moderate fabrics. Talking is moderately muffled and if I smile large, the corners of my mouth break seal to allow breathing at mouth corners. The head straps do not stretch, but are long enough to adjust to my large head easily. I say this is a good dust mask, but not for anything that makes heavier breathing.

I wanted to love this mask more than any I have tried. I have been searching for so long for one I could breathe well with. I loved the room inside in front of my nose and mouth and the vents esp the front 'baffle' works so well. I ran into a big problem with the material, the silicone, used to seal the mask to the face. I sweat too much and it caused the mask to slide down my face even though there are (2) sets of straps to hold it on. I cannot use this mask but really wanted to because my breathing was so easy! This would be good for those with an easier time breathing.

Fits well on an average size face. Fyi does not fit large faces (did not work for my husband). Super easy to breath through and easy cleaning. Tight seal, I feel protected!

I really wanted to like this design but it has one major flaw... The flimsy exhale port. All that separates you from sucking in tainted air is a flimsy piece of thin rubber at the poorly designed exhale port (see photo). While I understand that the exhale port rubber gasket is supposed to remain in place (and closed) during inhales & only move (and open) during exhales; there is nothing to prevent it from not moving inadvertently while you're breathing normally and the rubber is too flimsy to provide a seal to the outside. Therefore, there is no way it will be able to provide a seal and not bypass the filter media. God forbid you breathe under exertion. Covering up the exhale port makes it ineffective and your breath escapes out the sides of the rubber face seal. If they fixed the exhale port, it would be a solid design. This could be easily done by putting a plastic cover over the rubber bladder, which would prevent it from moving inadvertently and making it a one-way valve. Otherwise, it simply doesn't do what it claims at all. I am returning it (which should be fun because it's made in China). Furthermore, it comes with absolutely no instructions either.

It wasn't all that obvious but when you breath out it just blows out through a valve directly to the air, unfiltered. So you aren't protecting anyone by wearing one. I also felt that it was difficult to breath through, which defeated my purpose of buying a mask with a nice comfortable face seal on it.

Good mask, made for small faces. If you have big round face, buy a bigger one.It does allow you to breath and to talk normally without your lips touching the mask, which I like that.The silicone material in dark gray feels comfortable on my skin.Great to use for long hours of work.Just the shape make me feel like an Alien face 😅Besides that I recommend.
