Review on Dricar Anti Dust Industrial Chemical Respirator: Superior Protection against Harmful Particles and Chemicals by Chris Munns

Revainrating 1 out of 5

More useful than I expected

I bought this about a year before the Covid hit. I originally got it so my spray painting hobby wouldn't kill my last two brain cells, but it was much more useful than just that, as a house cat owner with a sensitive gag reflex, it saved a life. I used it as a regular mask before buying the cloth mask and although it's a little hard to hear me when I'm wearing it, it was quite comfortable and worked well. I have also used it as part of a costume. I've used it when painting a room to avoid headaches from paint fumes, working with wood to avoid sawdust, it even filters out the smoke I found after accidentally setting a frying pan on fire. I lost the fabric pad about a week after purchasing it, but the pleated fabric is great for sealing around the nose. The only downside is that wearing glasses can get a bit stiff after a while, but at least that can be avoided with a bandage or a folded handkerchief. Overall this is a great product considering the price.

Pros
  • Easy to use - the activated carbon in the filter box can be easily removed and installed
Cons
  • old
