Is this a functioning respirator or is it just for show

It works as far as breathing goes. You won't struggle for air, but it isn't made to work like a genuine respirator.

Its important to understand this is not a professional level mask and its for civilian use in an emergency. I can not attest to how long in minutes it would work because it depends on the level of particles in the air but considering its design for a one time use to get out of a building it would probably keep working for 20 to 30 minutes like others do. If your looking for extended use that requires you to be inside a building for a hour or more then professional grade or military grade mask is what you should look at. This is a last resort mask that you can keep at your desk.

It hides the smoke and smell.when you smoke, before you exhale, put your mouth on the small hole and exhale. You can't see the smoke come out the other end and it won't smell like anything. Make sure the caps are off both ends though.

This type of filter is to be changed when breathing resistance is felt. It is for particulates and will work for fumes (welding) but not for vapors (acetone, MEK, solvents).

I think it's just for ventilation, as you suspect. There's nothing to go into it.

Yes, it's good. The oximeter is good for an occasional measure, not for continuous control of oxygenation

Well, I might say it's repellant but it breathes to allow for cooling which might defeat the purpose of the vest for high exertion activity.

Very well. Because you are breathing through the respirator, there is no vapor getting the mask. I've used the mask for hours at a time with no fogging issues.

If you push the button to check the current level, will it be displayed? I read in a review that responders would not enter the house without respirators when the house read at 30 ppm (with windows open). Sounds like buying cheap is a big gamble.

..."Read the Specs... IT IS APPROVED"!NOTE: "This respirator is government approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) "

The one I received has an impeller made of metal. When this thing spins up, you know there is something real inside of it. And as a side, it is being used to grab egg shell dust from egg carving done with a dental tool. The provided bag catches all of the dust which is nothing more than pulverized calcium. This is the first dust handler I have had that was good at keeping the air clear. It is nothing fancy. It is very basic and does what some more costly units failed at.

Yes it does. It has a lever that you twist around/turn to control the amount of air allowed to pass through. I find this product very useful. I can't really say how much it has help me as it is too soon to see any result but I do feel easier to breath after using it. In the long run, I'm quite confident that it will improve my overall breathing technique. Yes, I do recommend it but do consult your doctor first.

Yes, it does. That's what it's suppose to do and it will work if you use it often enough. these are used in hospitals for patients to help them recover. I have had very good results with improving my breathing using this.

My husband who did pest control for about 6 months used this product for the big pest control company starting with O in the name, and they never used a respirator, but you have to use it with the correct concentrate to water ratio. That being said, your life is in your own hands, so it won't hurt to use one.
