Outstanding
on December 23, 2021
Posted by: Jane Dough

My employer provided us with these masks in case we needed them but we never did. After Covid-19 hit, this respirator proved to be a lifesaver as I had to work among some people who did not believe in wearing a mask. Although many of them contracted the virus, some infecting their family members, I never did. For the past two years I don one whenever I go out in public even in the summer when Covid #'s went down. I strongly believe that this mask has helped to keep me safe and I wouldn't think of wearing anything else! Careful, there are counterfeit ones out there!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Impossibly to wear if you have a larger head
on July 31, 2021
Posted by: Darryl
from Redwood City
Even with stretching the elastic a lot (often breaking it) these masks are impossibly tight to wear. I have never had any similar problem with other 3M disposable masks. 3M knows how to use fabric covered elastic on masks to do this well, why did they have to switch to this awful strap material (which also less easy to slide over you hair).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bad Straps
on November 14, 2021
Posted by: mrsmith71
from Chicago, IL
They'd probably be really good masks if you could actually put them on and use them. The Straps break very easily. Don't tell me to pre-stretch them because even the act of slowly, gently, ever so cautiously trying to pre-stretch will cause the straps to break. I have used 3m masks for years in my woodworking and never had a problem. These are different, and not good.

Garbage rubber straps
on December 9, 2021
Posted by: JaredC
from Warren, Maine
The straps for these masks are made of a thin, barely elastic, rubber strip that fails so quickly and consistently that I have to assume it was engineered to do so. Pre-stretch, re-stretch, i've tried it all and there's no way to get better performance or longevity. I've used 3M N95 masks for over a decade, and suddenly the straps are nowhere near what they were pre-pandemic.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not a quality product
on February 17, 2021
Posted by: joyk
from Tucson, AZ
Like others, I found the top strap snapped immediately when stretched. I also thought it might be counterfeit but the lot numbers checked out. I understand that one is supposed to pre-stretch the straps but it's easy to forget when trying to meet patient needs quickly in a clinic setting. Not the quality I expect from 3M.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Weak Straps!
on March 9, 2021
Posted by: Stemsmore
from Northern California
I have purchased 3m N95s before and I would normally rate them as 5. But I am disappointed in this recent version. The straps are made of inferior grade materials and break easily while putting them on. In the past, for light usage tasks, I had been able to reuse the mask multiple times. This mask was only worn a few times and a strap broke. I reattached it, and it instantly broke again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for your feedback and sorry that we did not meet your expectations.
Some of the strap breakage may be due to not stretching the straps prior to donning. Please see the box and user instructions on how to pre-stretch the straps before putting on the respirator.

Easy to breathe and talk. Fits very snug and if you pinch nose piece helps end fogged glasses. Elastic broke third wear.

When properly fitted and worn, the 8210 helps reduce inhalation exposure to particles including biological aerosols. For more information, please see https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/409903O/respiratory-protection-against-biohazards.pdf
