Customer Reviews for Milwaukee N95 Professional Multi-Purpose Valved Respirator

These are so big that it cuts my neck and ilmy safety glasses dont fit over the nose piece. I have bought other N95 masks that have fit fine. These hurt my neck so bad I can only tolerate it for about a minute. I bought these same ones before and had no issue, so not sure if they changed them or what. Now I'm stuck with a 10 pack because thats all the store had.

Milwaukee's N95 valved respirators are excellent for their intended use. They fit well, seal well, and are comfortable to wear - thanks in part to the 2x adjustable straps. The one-way exhaust valve ensures resistance-free exhaling, and minimizing glasses-fogging. Their intended use is for personal protection in dusty/dirty-type hazardous environments (sanding, grinding, attics, crawlspaces, etc). It's no help for organic vapor filtration. It's also no help for socially responsible coronavirus protection - it'll protect the wearer, but the unfiltered exhaust valve does nothing to prevent the spread of droplets/vapor from the wearer.

I am a cabinet maker and finish carpenter and when I sand or saw wood I always wear an N95 dust mask. I found these Milwaukee brand valved respirators and thought that I would give them a try. There are 10 in a box so that should last through a busy month or so. I really like the adjustable elastic straps, you can get the mask very snug to prevent leaks. They have a strip that can be formed over the bridge of your nose to seal that area and there's a strip of foam on the inside to help seal it off. This will be my new "go-to" dust mask.

Milwaukee N-95 Multi-Purpose Professional Valved Respirator is great to use for sanding, painting, mowing and any other task that requires a respirator for safety, such as installing insulation or spray painting. I have allergies so this mask comes in handy when I’m mowing and chipping branches. The mask is cool, comfortable and soft, and easily adjusted. Two soft straps keep it secure and well fitting. My wife uses the mask during flu season as a surgical mask. We’re using these masks now during the coronavirus outbreak. See pics below.

This mask is very well fitting. I wear glasses for close up work and with the vents on the mask, my glasses didn't fog up. I used these for some painting with modeling paint which usually causes me to cough a lot, even in a well ventilated area. The mask is pretty comfortable and I was able to keep it on for the entire duration of painting with no problem (about 4 hours). I tend to feel quite warm easily and the mask was actually pretty cool, not cold, but cooler than I expected. I will also be able to reuse the mask which is a bonus. I would recommend these.

These masks came quickly and undamaged. I am very lucky that I ordered and received them just before the Corona virus situation started. They are easy to use and seem to work well. They are very comfortable to wear. I have been able to share them with my family members. Please continue to carry them for use during this national emergency. Thank you.

I am very impressed with this 3 pack of respirators, they are manufactured by Milwaukee. This is another fine product in their tool line. I'm really impressed with the valve operation, It makes breathing so much better than regular face masks. The metal nose strip bends and fits my nose very well, and the foam inner strip is also comfortable, making a tight seal, my safety glasses don't steam up either. I especially like the adjustable straps for securing the respirator to my face, each is adjustable making the ideal fit, and they can be undone to make removal easier. They are good for many different projects.

We are pleasantly pleased with these masks. They are much stronger/sturdier than other cheaper masks out there on the market. This 10 pack works great for the entire crew. They work great for many things including drywall sanding, sawing and crawling around in a dusty attic. Currently, I am using mine for attic work. The mask completely saves me from coughing while I'm in the attic and afterwards. I wish they made a mask that didn't fog up my glasses, but I have yet to find one. I would recommend these because they are hardy and for the reasons listed in my pictures below.

I know you can buy dust masks for a lot less. But I wear glasses. When I try and use them my glasses fog up. It doesn't take long before I give up and remove the mask. On the other hand, these masks direct the exhaled air down and away from my face. They are also adjustable, so they are fairly comfortable to wear. This results in me wearing the mask. I know they also do a better job of filtering then a dust mask, but that is just a bonus most of the time. I have a dual cartridge respirator when I have to worry about VOCs.

"Milwaukee" synonymous with unparalled quality. Ev en these simple cloth/paper mask are of stunningly quality and have feautures that are unique to this level of mask. The draw strings are adjustable, the valve is neither cumbersone, intrusive or heavy. You at first will be put off by the center valve, but quickly accepted once you feel the ease of breathing..

Typical Milwaukee high quality. I have used a lot of respirators over the years and these are excellent. The thing is that they fit comfortably against the face and make a good seal. It goes without saying that if the seal leaks the effectiveness of the mask is really compromised. The metal over the nose adjuster is just heavy and stiff enough and does a good job of contouring the mask in that area. The area under the strip, on the inside of the mask, has a matching foam strip that helps make the seal in that area. The elastic straps have good adjusters that hold the mask securely in place. Be sure to start them a bit before putting the mask on as they are easier to start when you can see the parts. The one-way exhaust vent works well and really does help keep the temperature down inside the mask. Overall the mask is really nice high quality and will last for several uses in most cases.

I feel these are some of the best dust masks I have ever used! The adjustable straps make for a tight fit and the easy blow by valve in front allows for quick exhaust of my breath. I only had minimal fogging of my glasses, not like being blinded when I used the green masks! My son agrees. He really likes these for when he uses the weed whacker, as it truly reduces the dust he breathes in. Just be careful when you remove these. They do not stetch as much as the cheaper brands you might have used before. If you are not careful you can pull the strap off the mask. I did that the first time, but not since.

Five Stars * * * * * Prior to using the Milwaukee N95 Professional Multi-Purpose Valved Respirator, I used a cheap mask from a local store. I believed I was getting a good bargain, but paid more in the end. After using the cheaper mask it would be wet inside from perspiration and allergic reaction. I would have to remove it, wash my face, and get a second mask to complete the job. This is because particulates were getting inside through poor filtration. The Milwaukee N95 Professional Multi-Purpose Valved Respirator is totally different. The most obvious thing is its quality. It is also firmer and thicker yet still very lightweight. The extra adjustable strap keeps the respirator in place. I can now mow grass, sand, and work in a dusty environment without difficulty. It stays cooler so can be worn longer, and has a better fit. The tight sealing gasket is very comfortable. My breathing with the Milwaukee N95 Professional Multi-Purpose Valved Respirator is much better. I keep a spare in my vehicle as I would never want to be on a job without it. Excellent Product.

I've been very happy with these dust masks. I usually hate wearing things like this and will only do it when I absolutely have to, but these are much better than any I've ever worn. They really do function as advertised and don't heat up or cause safety glasses to fog nearly as much as other kinds. They're paper and won't last forever, but I'm still on my first one, so the 10 pack is a great deal, especially if you only need a dust mask occasionally.

I find these masks to be a lot more comfortable than most. The mask area is deeper and it doesn't feel like your being strangled. I really like the adjustable straps. You can easily adjust them for a comfortable fit. I have allergies and would not be able to work for long periods of time when sanding or painting without wearing one of these masks. I would definitely recommend this product.

These are the best disposable respirators I've ever used- and I've used a lot over the years. They fit very comfortably. The rubber straps are adjustable to fit tight or loose to fit your head, which makes a big difference in comfort. The air release valve works very well when you exhale so you don't get overheated from you're breathing. I highly recommend.

These things are great for those of us who wear glasses. The Milwaukee N95 Professional Multi-Purpose Valved Respirator is a heavy duty particulate (dust and debris) mask that is a major step up from those cheapie single string usually bought as an after-thought fabic sanding masks that I used to use. For me the biggest plus is this mask's ability to minimize the fogging up of my glasses (thanks to the exhale valve). Also they are made of a noticeably thicker fabric with two easily adjustable elastic straps that provide a snug fit. The beefy flexible metal nose bridge has a protective and comfortable foam covering that is well bonded to the mask and with a little tweaking creates a snug fit. Also of these features create a sturdy mask that has held up well to repeated uses on a daily basis in my workshop (technically these are supposed to be a one and done use mask but I will use one over 2-3 days multiple times throughout the day until it becomes noticeably grungy). For the way I use them I feel they are a pretty good value - on the other hand these features should be expected from a mask that runs almost $2.50 a pop (when you buy a 10 pack). They work very well for me.

These professional respirators are much better than the cheap dust masks. I have found Milwaukee products to be of better quality than most other products. Milwaukee products are a bit higher price, however, I believe you get what you pay for. Buy inexpensive and get lower quality, Pay a little more and usually the tool or product will last longer. These respirators keep out more dust than the lower cost ones that I have purchased in the past.

My husband is an accomplished jack-of-all-trades. His passion is restoring vintage farm tractors. Over the years, he has tried all kinds of face masks because of the liquids involved and sanding decades old paint. He was very excited to try this valved respirator and he was impressed!! The mask is good sized and because of adjustable straps, can be made to fit snuggly and comfortably. The mask did it's job while staying cool. I like the fact that my glasses don't steam up. Milwaukee does it again! Well done!!

I was doing a little work in our attic and I have asthma so I wanted to use some kind of mask to help keep the dust down and not aggravate my asthma. The masks have two straps which really help hold it tight and keep it sealed. Each elastic strap has an adjustment ring that you can slide so they are just right for your head. There is a metal piece on the nose bridge that you can squeeze to make it fit your nose quite comfortably. I felt I could breath quite easily and didn't get overly hot and sweaty. It worked well for me.

I received the Milwaukee N95 Professional Multi-Purpose Valved Respirator. I'm very pleased with this respirator it fits my face very well and help keep you cooler while waring it. This is very good for sanding most woods and help you breath easier while doing it. It is designed for comfort and does a good job. I'm very happy with this respirator and would recommend this to anyone who does sanding or light painting.

So I have tried many items to keep the dust down in my CNC work shop, from dust collectors to vacuums I still get dust, so a mask is important to me when I am carving or cutting wood. This Milwaukee N95 mask is great, just a few things that set it apart. For one and it's a big one it is cooler (due to the valve on the front) that I don't find myself wanting to take it off as it will get too hot. The other item is the nose bridge foam which make the mask easy on the nose as well as comfortable. The adjustment on the straps are perfect for not getting too tight of a fit. Overall a great mask and something you can wear for long periods of time as well as multiple times before needing to replace.

This Milwaukee N95 respirator is just the right face mask for keeping out unhealthy particles from the nose and mouth. It is used for dust, sanding, insulation and other jobs where you need to keep healthy while working. It it not used for disease prevention. This type has a valve to allow lower temperature by ten degrees in the mask. It has a comfortable nose pinch and two adjustable straps behind the head.

Excellent protection to any serious DIY or Professional. As one very busy retired DIY, I do all kinds of things around the house and subdivision that require respiratory protection. Whether spraying insecticides, weed killers, grinding steel, or woodworking with band saw, table saw, jigsaw, belt sander, jointer, or planer, I can generate a lot of debris that can be very harmful, long term. Especially during inclement weather, when my work is done in an enclosed garage, when it’s cold or raining outside. These fit extremely well and provide a serious level of safety and protection. There is a foam rubber strip to ensure a tight seal and when you pinch the nose piece at the metal strip, you get a perfect seal. The absolute best part for me? I wear glasses and these masks allow you to breathe as normal and they NEVER cause my glasses to fog up, like cheaper masks will. Lesson learned! These are the only ones I’ll get from now on.

These N95 Professional Multi-Purpose Valved Respirator masks by Milwaukee are a perfect fit for me. They are designed to keep you cooler while providing you with a better fit. I like the fact that the respirator valve reduces the construction mask's internal temperature by 10°. The mask has two soft adjustable straps and a flexible nose bridge allowing you to achieve a better fit. The respirator masks seem to be ideal for non-harmful sanding, grinding, sawing and insulation particles.

So the stay cool NIOSH N95 Valved respirators are very nice. I especially like the fact that the two straps that hold it onto your face are easily adjustable to your specific face. The breather valve at the front of the units keeps you much cooler up to 10 degrees cooler than you would with a normal respirator like this. I used one this morning in my boiler room just to test that part out and it works great! They come in three packs are light weight and super easy to use. These are intended for use with non harmful sanding, grinding, Sawing and insulation particles. These are NOT intended for use with any toxic or harmful substances including lead or asbestos. Milwaukee sent me a full case of them so I have shared most of them already with several of my fellow engineers.

I am really impressed with this respirator. I have worn many different respirators during demolition over the years and this one is by far, the best for a paper type. The valve keeps my breath from coming up near my eyes which fogs my glasses. The straps are adjustable which makes it easy to make it snug to my mouth, which helps to keep the dust out. It has a bit of a paper smell at the beginning, but this goes away after a while It is comfortable on my nose as there is a foam piece to keep it from digging in. Also, the metal band at the nose is adjustable for a snug fit. The only complaint I have is that I could not open the plastic bag it comes in by hand; I had to get some scissors to get it open. Overall, I am happy with this and I would use these again for any job needing a respirator.

Save your lungs! Wear a respirator! This is a nicely made and snug fitting N95 (meaning it is designed to filter 95% of 0.3 micron particles) respirator. It fit nicely over my beard, but you always have to check. The exhaust valve is great, as it keeps you cooler, and keeps your safety glasses (you are wearing safety glasses, right ?!) from getting fogged up. Besides the very expensive full-face respirators we use for the really dangerous stuff, this was the coolest wearing respirator I've tried on. The two straps are easily adjustable with the friction slider in the back, and the aluminum nose strip should be squeezed to conform it to the shape of your nose. It is not designed for filtering oil particles, lead or asbestos. The box has a manufacturing date (about 2 months before I got them) and an Expiration date that is five years out if stored properly - I hadn't thought about that, but guess parts of it break down over time. There is a long list of things it is good for and is NOT good for - worth reading before you start work - you can find it here - http://www.archive.org/download/ParticulateFilteringFacepieceRespiratorUserInstructions/VenusSafety8142Milwaukee.pdf Each respirator is marked with the NIOSH symbol and the approval number for work use - you can always check those numbers here - be suspicious of any respirator without an approval number - https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/disp_part/n95list1sect2-m.html

I do woodwork, live in a very warm area and wear glasses.. All things that effect my need and use of a respirator mask. Plenty of fine particle dust around whenever I’m doing almost anything with wood, real good ideal to protect yourself from breathing in that. In Texas during the summer my shop can reach 100 plus degrees, with deadlines to meet I can not always just shut down the shop when it gets hot, this mask helps keep you face cooler and drier. The big one for me is I have to wear my glasses and even if I did not need them to see, would want them to protect my eyes. Almost every disposable mask I have tried in the past would cause my glasses to fog up, hard to work when you cannot see. This mask does not do that. In fact the nose piece has a piece of foam on it that keep the air from your breathing away from blowing in your eyes or fogging up your glasses. These are durable, cool , highly adjustable to your head and face and most important, they work! Also they are comfortable to wear for a long time!

This Milwaukee professional multi-purpose valved respirator is a very good product to have and to use. We took up the carpet in the.house and these mask came in handy for the dust from the carpet when we pulled it up and rip the carpet in half. These mask do help to keep you cooler when you are working with them on your face compare to some others that I.have worn. There is one room we sanded the wooden floor this mask kept us from breathing in the fine wood dust. The mask will fit snug up against your face and they are very comfortable. These mask are worth purchasing.
