If you need a HEPA KN-95 mask and want to BREATHE buy this NOW!
Note: Unit was purchased with my own funds, this is NOT a paid review, opinions are mine alone and no one has requested this or reviewed the comments prior to posting.
(1) First the one fixable issue - the very soft hose bends too easily and often crimps cutting off the air flow. Solutions: A two stir sticks on either side with tape and/or B. put the 3/4" tube inside a larger 1" flexible water type tube. I did the first one, now no more crimping. Some odor on the new hose but not bad and the order vanishes after a few uses.
(2) Quality is otherwise very high. The fan unit is lightweight yet sturdy - small enough not to be an issue. 3 fan speeds are perfect and well thought out: LOW is great for sitting at a desk, MED for walking and I use HIGH with a backpack on getting groceries (40 pounds in the backpack) and walking very fast. LOW is very quiet for an office, MEDIUM pretty quiet but you can hear it in a very quiet office setting, and HIGH is much louder but won't be noticeable if you're outside in traffic or inside a shopping mall. There is a LED indicating which speed is selected as well as (re)charged. The LEDs and charging port are on the left side looking down so you have to turn the unit to see it --- it would have been better if the LED was on the top near the power switch so you could just look down. There is NO battery level indicator or low battery warning indicator which would have been a useful addition.
(3) Recharge speed is fast (2 hours maybe) and it seems to last a long time. It uses a micro-USB to recharge; there is a LED which flashes as it charges. The instructions (which are not the greatest) state not to run it and charge at the same time so no running off of battery packs or solar.
(4) KN-95 masks are very comfortable, fit great and TWO are included (nice!). You can also adapt other masks as well but the included masks are REALLY nice. They protrude further from the mouth and nose area which allows for even easier breathing over the standard masks sold.
(5) Longer term update - still working great! You'll have to put a bit of work into the hose but otherwise and excellent product - everyone should have one especially students and workers having to wear a mask all day long.
