Hotodeal KN95 Face Mask 20 PCS,5 Layers Cup Dust Mask Against PM2.5 from Fire Smoke, Dust, for Men, Women, Essential Workers(White)

I got off a plane from KC in September and almost immediately went into the hospital. I had one of those nasty airborne respiratory, abdominal bugs there was out there. I decided right then that I wasn't getting on a flying petrie dish again without a decent mask. I know you can't stop everything but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. These masks are sooo comfortable. They're awesome because they have a cone design that doesn't lay flat against your mouth or nose. It's so much easier to breath. The ear loops are comfy, they're light, strong and durable. They're a recommended mask by the CDC. 5 will last forever. And so far, no more SICK!!!

This Masks Fits Nicely. Much Needed

I read about the Hotodeal brand on a site that listed KN95 masks that were supposedly authorized by the FDA for emergency use, but I was not able to verify this on the FDA or even CDC sites. I bought these in Feb. 2022, and the masks that I received seem to be good quality. The package has batch number, manufacturing date, & expiration date info. The masks are stamped with a required code indicating that they meet or were approved through the newer standards in China. (I've seen KN95 masks that do not have this code stamp, which means they are likely fake.) I have a small face/head and the masks fit fine on me. The ear loops are comfortable for me and I do not have to shorten them. The KN95 masks that I got definitely provide a better seal or fit than non-medical "surgical'-style masks. Based on some other reviews, it seems like masks sent are not always real or the same quality as before, which is disappointing and I wonder if it has to do with which seller on Amazon that you buy from. Unfortunately, at time of my review, the price has already increased by almost 2x the price from when I bought them. I would buy these again as long as the masks sent are the same quality and the price is within my budget.

Don't listen to reviews complaining about holes. There are some perforations around the adjuster wire for the nose, but if you create a proper seal those won't matter since they are above the seal. The other perforations are where the breathing membrane is -- it's not actually a hole, the filter is there but the mask is thinner to let air through. The masks seem to be properly designed.The masks run small compared to some other KN95s - I must say that for me they actually create a better seal than the bigger types. You have to learn to adjust the wire in them around the shape to your nose. Like any respirator it has to be fitted properly, so there is no airflow on the sides or upwards. Most people who wear KN95 or N95s don't fit them right, so they don't get the full benefit.I can't double-check the claim about the filtering capacity, but I'm going to trust that they follow the KN95 standard.A KN95 is not an N95, so some reviewers here seem to be confused. KN95 is the Chinese standard for the filter-- it is the material inside, the filter (not the mask itself) that is rated KN95. If you don't like the shape or size of them, you can look for other KN95s that are bigger. The KN95 filter itself is roughly as efficient as the N95 filter at filtering out particles - what is different is the exact method how the filtering is tested and under what pressure.

These are currently not FDA approved, but based on testing done by Armbrust American, they do pass the filtration guidelines (~99%). Their review of the mask stated that it doesn’t meet all the labeling requirements of a KN95 mask and the breathability is not as good as a true KN95.I used these for about a year while working with k-8th graders. I was never sick! I reused one for five days straight before throwing it away at the end of the week. I did not take it on and off throughout the day and did my best not to touch it. Kids and coworkers were getting Covid all around me, but I never got it. It could have been my immune system but I was around my sick mom without a mask for 20 minutes while helping her take a Covid test and came down with it 2 days later.As for comfort and fit, the room between your mouth and the mask makes it easy to talk. I didn’t experience any dampness and I felt comfortable breathing. Without glasses I can wear these for an entire day without any problems. With glasses, my ears started to ache after 3-4 hours with it on my face. I wore my thick rimmed glasses perched on top of the mask, with the mask strings over the ends of my glasses. This kept the mask and my glasses secure around my nose and prevented any fogging. It definitely didn’t fit around my nose like an N95, but it was good enough to protect me in a school setting. I have a larger than average nose and deep set eyes, which makes fitting a mask difficult.Overall: If you need protection, these will do the job. These masks are definitely better for filtrating unwanted particles than a cloth mask or a sports performance mask.*Wrote the same review for WWDOLL masks. I used them interchangeably and Armbrust had the same critiques and filtration specs for both brands.

We've worn these to a Metallica concerts and on overseas flights. They are easy to take on/off and very comfortable. It was put to the test on a 12.5 hour flight in November when the people in front of us were very ill and unmasked. We stopped eating and drinking (so we did unfortunately get quite dehydrated), but 14 days came and went after the flight and we didn't get sick with whatever plague they had. These are now our go-to masks.

Good price; excellent quality. Have ordered these numerous times.
