Am I missing something in the description. I don't see an N95 rating or a NIOSH rating. Without it how do we know the filter even works?
BEST ANSWER: internal there is a a P1 filter,(dust and particle) external there is a white cloth filter. You can see the filter working by the color of dust on the outside.

Are there HEPA filters available?
Power Air Respirator
I do a lot of fine sanding that generates a tremendous amount of powdery dust. We have a Jet air filtration system and I wear a Dust Bee Gone mask but I still feel dust on my lips and in my nostrils. I am a woman with a fairly small face and the Dust Bee Gone mask doesn't come in a small and there are many gaps. Will this power air respirator be small enough to fit my face?
BEST ANSWER: I am a 5"2" 130lb woman. The respirator was too long for my face and I had to return it. The top half fit fine, but the bottom extended too far past my face to create a seal. I use the blue Dust Bee Gone mask and have the same problem with some dust getting through.

Any information on using for sandblasting? We use an aluminum oxide media that is extremely nasty stuff.. Bearded guy looking for better protection.
BEST ANSWER: Rick,
The "Power Air Respirator" is great for airborne minute particulates, such as dust or working a wood lathe, I would not recommend it for the blasting medium you are using. Try instead Rockler's "Airshield Pro," a full shield air system that will completely encapsulate your face and beard. Being bearded myself, that's the way to go.

Can this unit be worn with a turners face mask?
BEST ANSWER: I tried to use this with a full face mask from Home Depot, middle price range, and it would not work. The filter sticks out quite a ways, and you can't pull the mask down. I don't use this when the project requires full face protection. sorry!

Is respirator OSHA approved. ?
BEST ANSWER: I don't think it is OSHA. It is just a little plastic device suitable for personal but not business use. I'm really glad I had it for one project, but I would not use it for long-term daily business.

Can this respirator be used for asbestos abatement?
BEST ANSWER: Asbestos is such an insidious, dangerous substance to your lungs (even in small doses. In my opinion, nothing short of professional abatement gear (butyl rubber suit and full respirator) is adequate for protection. However: Can it be used? Yes, it is better than a paper mask but I wouldn't trust my lungs to it.

What is the smallest particle this will filter? The NIOSH-approved P100 filters on some other face masks (for example, the 3M 7500) filter 99.7% of particles 0.3 microns and above, which is where you want to be health-wise.
BEST ANSWER: I found this too bulky to use and returned it. I use the Ellipse 1000 mask available from Highland woodworking.

Respirator Actually Works
This respirator works far greater than any mask would work. By pumping filtered air into the face piece, and building up a positive pressure inside the face piece, virtually all of the dust is removed from your breathing. My only negative comment is the way the mask fits over the bridge of my nose. But, that is probably due to the size of my nose.

Power Air Respirator
I have found this respirator to be useful to me in my woodworking shop. Most respirators have the old push/pull breathing units with the valves that open and close for air. These are very tiresome and I can't seem to get enough air.
This power air unit lets you breath easy without having to force breathe.
The air is cool and lets me work longer in the shop. I just wish the plastic around the bridge of the nose was softer to make it more comfortable.
For the size and price I would have to say it's a good unit. I was skeptical at first but warmed up to it. I wonder how long the 4 AA batteries will run.

COPD and lawn mowing dust
I have COPD and mowing my 2 acre yard gave me issues due to the dust. I use the paper masks, the surgery masks and I then bought 2 large dual filter masks. The small masks allowed dust to penetrate. The dual mask where to hard to draw air into my lungs. I purchased the Power air respirator and have use it twice. Excellent results!! The fan drawing in filtered air worked perfectly. I had no followup dust issues the next day. I recommend this to anyone with medical lung issues and to anyone in a dusty environment.

Does the trick
This is a mask that I will actually use, unlike many others lying around my equipment. I have not had trouble using it with both goggles and ear protectors. I have not had it long enough to tell how long batteries will last, but I'm glad I bought it and would recommend it to others. I have not used more intense masks, but I think this is the right amount of protection for the projects I work on.

Save your lungs!
I love it! Wear it comfortably with glasses and a Harbour Freight face shield and ear muffs.. Totally shocked at the amount of dust stuck to the prefilter, that would have gone in my lungs.. I have mild COPD and this mask has saved me from abandoning my woodworking hobby....

Keeps dust out
Have used this on a couple of messy jobs. This is essential to keeping your lungs clear. Some have had problems with eyeglasses interfering. I can see where it would be a problem for some styles, but mine fit right down on the nose piece with no problem
