Ratings & Reviews for 3M 8210 Plus White Disposable N95 Multi-Purpose Non-Valved Respirator 20 -Pack

Weak Straps!

I have purchased 3m N95s before and I would normally rate them as 5. But I am disappointed in this recent version. The straps are made of inferior grade materials and break easily while putting them on. In the past, for light usage tasks, I had been able to reuse the mask multiple times. This mask was only worn a few times and a strap broke. I reattached it, and it instantly broke again.

Normal N95

I work in a factory where we do a lot of machining, polishing, and grinding. I've worn these masks or other 3M N95 masks for 8 hours a day, for a few years now. I can usually get a week out of them before the strap breaks, but that is more than enough time since they are pretty dirty by then. This is accomplished by stretching the straps before use. The straps are tight for the first day, but stretch out as you wear it and it becomes more comfortable. It seals tight around my face and is ...

Non-functional

Straps pull out immediately, rendering product useless.

Not a quality product

Like others, I found the top strap snapped immediately when stretched. I also thought it might be counterfeit but the lot numbers checked out. I understand that one is supposed to pre-stretch the straps but it's easy to forget when trying to meet patient needs quickly in a clinic setting. Not the quality I expect from 3M.

very uncomfortable

This mask is so tight. Im not a big guy...6'3'' and 220 lbs. The straps usually break when putting over my head and once on tight around my head. Why not make larger sizes??? I work in healthcare and this is the only mask we are allowed to use.

Easier to breathe and talk

Easy to breathe and talk. Fits very snug and if you pinch nose piece helps end fogged glasses. Elastic broke third wear. 3M- Do these help protect from covid?

Great

I bought it last week and it works great . Recommended it to a co-worker.

Confident even for a moderatemask

I bought a box of 5 in March and I don't usually wear it more than 3 times a week and not for more than 1 to 2 hours at a time. Although it might not keep it as N95 equivalent I have used steam from boiling water at 20 seconds and feel confident that would take care of any problems. I also alternate usage which would make it about once every other week.

Perfect protection

We bought several boxes and have been impressed with the effectiveness and quality

I don't know who made these masks

I don't know who is making these masks but as we inhale during use, small fibers are caught in our throats and we end up coughing and gagging. It's terrible
