2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money..., November 27, 2005

By	Victor H. Agresti "remodeling-guy" (Gaithersburg, MD United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Pros:

-- Better than paper masks.

-- It's so light (under 2 oz.), you hardly think about it. It's also comfortable, as the straps are cloth and fully adjustable, and the filtering material is soft. The bottom strap uses Velcro, and the top has a non-Velcro adjustable ring.

-- I wear glasses, and although they fog a tad if I get overheated, it's no worse than paper masks.

-- Has an imbedded aluminum strip in the nose area which can be bent to fit the user.

Cons:

-- When cutting treated timbers, I had been using an MSA Comfo Classic respirator, as that device seems to be 100% effective in filtering out wood dust. Rather than using the bulky respirator, I tried a Dust Bee Gone mask - and coughed for several hours that evening, from dust inhalation. Have no idea how the dust was getting in, but it was.

-- Absurdly over-priced. Should have sent it back on that basis alone. Worth $5 at best.

Summary:

I bought one of these sight-unseen, solely on the recommendation of Fine Woodworking magazine. It's better than paper masks, but since it wasn't effective with wood dust, it's not useful to me. Bottom line - if you want effective dust protection, buy a decent respirator.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dust Bee gone has allowed my wife to work in the garden again, December 6, 2006

By	John W. Kruesi (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree that it price is a little steep but it works well. My wife is allergic to mold. She has been unable to work in the garden because of the mold. With the dust be gone she can now work with her plants, and does not suffer afterwords.

I use it when turning and my glasses do not steam up and protects my lunges. Well worth it for what it does.
