Questions & Answers

Is this mask is helpful in COVID19
Asked by addu July 7, 202010
AnswersAny N95 NIOSH mask will protect against the virus. The difference in this one is that if you are asymptomatic & carrying the virus, the valve lets out more air & doesn't protect others around you well. It would be best to leave this one for Medical people who are wearing a N95 for long periods, Construction Workers, the elderly & people with breathing problems who need the valve.

March 19, 2019
The 3m cup mask design is very durable and effective. I use it for all kinds of tasks where dust, dirt or mold are blown about. I like the exhale port on the mask since this greatly extends the filter life. I highly recommend it for and dust environment or fiberglass insulation install job. For extra life try gently prestretching the head bands. Store mask in a zip lock bag between uses.

Im looking to buy 280 boxes each month for 12 months
Great Product - Zero Availability
November 6, 2020
Customer review from 3m.com
I've been rotating the same 4 or 5 N95 masks for MONTHS when I used to use maybe two per WEEK! When are companies like 3M going to start producing enough masks so they can be prioritized for workers on the front lines of building and remodeling your houses and offices and not just those on the front lines fighting Covid-19 wherever that is happening. Please watch for mesothelioma and other respiratory illness to spike once this whole Covid-19 thing is over OR start making enough masks to go around PLEASE.
Stop buying these for covid!
August 22, 2020
Reviewers who leave 1 stars because it doesn’t protect against the virus are ridiculous. This is meant for constructions workers who are in danger of inhaling chemicals and dust. Save these for them!
No valves for covid
August 10, 2020
This product is not intended to be used as a mask in general public. The valves release air that is not filtered. These masks protect solely the wearer and shoulders be reserved for high risk individuals who need protection. Any mask made with a valve is an unacceptable tool to help prevent transmission of any viral or bacterial droplets or aerosols. You are letting all the germs out whenever you exhale. They come out of the valve.

Coronavirus Questioning: This Mask for Coronavirus Use
August 10, 2020
I use this mask at home. It's great for gardening, etc. BUT I don't believe good for coronavirus protection as the valve would let your exhaled breath out to possibly infect others. Please correct me if I'm wrong or confirm if this is true. Thx
Loved this mask

Response from 3M Social CareJuly 10, 2020
Hello. Thank you for reaching out to us. Even with our company’s unprecedented measures to operate at maximum production levels for N95 respirators and other PPE, demand is much higher than the industry’s ability to deliver. This requires us to prioritize distribution to healthcare workers and first responders on the frontlines working to save lives. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to respond to all incoming requests.

I’m a nurse and my husband is a medic but we can’t have access to buy a N95 mask. This is ridiculous.

Hone Depot has dropped the ball
July 4, 2020
Everyone should have access to the best possible protection. Not allowing regular consumers to buy these n95 mask further helps to overwhelm the health system due to the fact that if more people were able to the the proper mask, not the mask shift mask that still spread the disease up to 70% then more people will be protected and there would be less sick patients to overwhelm the health systems. People cant get n95 mask, alcohol, lysol or the other necessities to keep safe due to many of these only being available to health care workers, but it's a cycle and due to people not being able to fully protect themselves, they end up in the very health system that everyone is trying to protect.
