We don't know where, 3M is very secretive. And they claim to be able to make 90 million of these per month. So allegedly, the 3M used something like $160 million that they got from the US government to stand up operations here. Oh, by the way, it's made in the United States. It's the only mask we have that has a slight smell to it. Now it's a little bit different, but the glue smell is tiny. I mean, I'll tell you because we actually made a KF90 or a KN95, because it was highly requested from our customers. For me, whatever glue they're using for this is like it's. The one thing I don't like about it, I mean, it looks great. I actually prefer the duck bill style aisle more now, but this is super breathable. Actually, you get all this area to breathe in. So that 124 we saw, it's actually not accurate because I'm only testing an area that big. And the great thing about this bow tie design is I'm getting all this extra breathable space. Even with my beard, I'm getting a great seal on this.

And yes, I'm distracting you at the PFE machine, so you can't see how horribly I don on these masks. Not the most breathable mask that we've tested, but it's up there for sure. Look at this, 99.8, and the airflow resistance is beautiful. And I'm just going to jump over here real quick. The only difference is that it has head straps on the back, and that's because all N95s have to have head straps.Ĭouple things unique to 3M is this nose foam. So for once, 3M was ripping off somebody else. It's what they call a fish or a bow tie design, but it's basically a KF94. So it comes in a 10 pack, definitely made for consumers, individually packaged. The 9205 is the mask of choice and I'll show you why. There's one that's made for healthcare, but it's the same mask. Remember, at the peak of the pandemic, this is the mask that people wanted. Let's take a look at the listing real quick. This is the one that they adapted for consumers. I mean, 3M is the giant that every mask manufacturer is basically copying in the world. I am doing the N95 tests here because this is the preeminent N95. This is a PFE machine, particulate filtration efficiency machine. I'm on the inside track is what I'm trying to say. This is the consumer version of the consumer's favorite or the surgeon's favorite mask.Īnd I should know, not because I'm a surgeon, but because I'm in a lab coat and that's what they tell people. And we'll talk more about that in a second, but let's get it in our clamper and get going. I saw this at Home Depot, and so I bought it. Can you please review it?" So I went ahead. People were like, "I think this mask is fake. And I've actually reviewed 10 of them, but they were all user submissions. Talking today about one of the most highly requested masks that we get to review. Welcome back to the place where we were testing every single mask that we can find in the world.
