Summary: better than expected
Comment: I hate wearing respirators, I always feel like I am starving for air. However, I have no problem breathing in this one. The fit is great, easy to use the quick unlatch when I need a drink. I am remodeling my basement, and frankly have no idea what is all down there, but I feel more secure wearing the respirator. I would recommend it for anyone who has work to do in bad air quality environments, and who hates wearing a respirator. Price isn't to bad either.

Summary: This respirator really works
Comment: I have a life threatening allergy to mold and work with horses (whose hay can often be a source of mold), so I can not ignore the chances of being exposed to mold. My doctor wanted me to stop and move away, but I wanted to first try a respirator to see if it could protect me. I did some research and was impressed with the A/O Safety model because of reviews here on Amazon that reported it was comfortable and easy to use. It also has cartridges that can filter out 100% of mold spores. I had tried masks from the pharmacy first, but they were hot, only good for 95% protection and expensive.
I love this mask and feel safe in it. It is easy to clean, not overly expensive, either for the initial purchase or the cartridges. Also, in the time I have been wearing it, my health has continued to improve. I plan to tell my doctor that he might want to recommend it to others with my condition.
Yes, I look like a hazmat worker, but breathing well is the best reward!

Summary: The best respirator out there
Comment: This is a very comfortable respirator with easy on - off features. I am allergic to latex. This is latex free. I paid $30 for this on Amazon. This is the best price out there. I wear one of these 40 hours per week due to allergies and the type of materials I am exposed to in my work. Look no further.

Summary: So this is what a respirator is supposed to be
Comment: I've tried a lot of different respirators from Home Depot, all of them under $10. What a waste of time and money. This AO respirator is the real deal -- the only thing I've used that kept the junk out of my lungs. Well worth the price.

Summary: Should have bought this long time ago...
Comment: 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.
