Should have bought this long time ago...
By Walt
I have been renovating my home for years and never got a respirator for reasons that mostly revolve around laziness shrouded in a cloud of machismo. I occasionally donned the white masks you would get from the local hardware store, but quite frankly, they don't do a whole lot. This is my first respirator, and I have to thank the authors of the many reviews I read on this site that made me choose this one in particular.I've used this under the house (fine dirt), while gardening (pollen), while sweeping (dust), and while using power tools to cut/mill wood (fine sawdust, smoke). I don't think any respirator will ever give you the experience of the freedom of not wearing any breathing apparatus of course, but this one is actually more comfortable than those white masks, and I breathe a lot better after my jobs are done. No more coughing and raspy throat for me!Due to pollution, a bit of aging, and probably all those years of not wearing a respirator when I should have, I now have a mild asthmatic reaction to irritating airborne particles (I take Qvar everyday and have albuterol on standby). Don't let this be you! Get a respirator (I am of course, recommending this one) if you do any job/housework that results in you coughing or having to rinse your nose and/or mouth out afterwards. Your lungs will thank you.Here are some downsides to wearing this (and probably all) respirators:- Having facial hair will not allow a good seal around the muzzle (so shave, and beards, goatees, mustaches, mutton chops, etc. are out)- It's a giant thing strapped to your face and head. I've unpleasantly bonked into things while working.- The quick release clip on the back is great for getting in and out of this thing (I've read many reviews saying this is a key feature that many other respirators lack), but while it's very useful, the clip is kind of small and hard to operate (especially if you're wearing gloves).- You'll look like a member of a hazmat team.Here's some upside bullet points:- Replacement cartridges are easy to find (something I think people don't always think about). I've seen them at OSH, Home Depot, and of course, Amazon.- The quick release clip gets you in and out in easily- I get sweaty and dirty, but this has been easy to clean- Replacement cartridges easy to remove and install (don't know if this is normally an issue or not, but I thought I'd mention it)- Did I already mention this will help save your lungs?- You'll look like a member of a hazmat team.

I probably should have bought one of these sooner
By T. Peterson
I began some remodeling for a family member that involved removing some old corrugated fiberglass roofing that had dry rotted from eccessive sun exposure. As the fiberglass broke I could see the tiny dust particles floating in the air and knew I was breathing this stuff in. I then decided to buy this respirator because of the quick latch feature. The quick-latch turns out to be very useful because when unlatched, the respirator drops down and hangs under your chin allowing you to take a break and breath normally. This is much more comfortable to wear than a white dust mask. It did tend to loosen up on me over time but could be easily retightened by pulling the straps. Wearing this I didn't think twice about ripping out the rest of the fiberglass roofing and other materials.

By David Beauchamp
You can get a clean seal with this respirator really easily, but not with a beard, not even a goatee, not even once it's tightly trimmed. I tried it all. For me the will to fix our bathroon ceiling trumped the hairs dancing around my mouth and chin, at least temporarily, thus I shaved. Post shave this thing is airtight and I am comfortable. The venerated goatee will grow back, lungs don't. The canisters cover most nasty stuff you may encounter, up to and including mold and asbestos. Be smart: wear a long sleeve shirt, gloves, airtight eyewear, and earplugs.
