Update: How much better is the 9330+ compared to the 9320+ in terms of filtration efficiency? 0.012% ... That's what the $100,000 TSI machine showed, which I sent for testing at the factory of the American mask manufacturers' president. In other words, it achieved 99.99% efficiency, while the 9320D+ achieved 99.978%, as shown in the photo I uploaded.
Among the best ffp3 masks with a filter efficiency of 99.9% and above 99.6%, when worn correctly. It seals slightly better compared to the already excellent fit of the ffp2 9320+ and has even stronger aluminum in the nose. Its size is slightly smaller than the 9320+, but not its dimensions. This has to do with the apparent seams (ultrasonic welding) at the edges of the mask, where the elastic bands are attached with staples. The distances between the 'seams' are smaller, and this changes the dimension of the mask. Men must have a shaved face and women should have minimal to no makeup, in order to avoid creating small gaps. Watching a video on YouTube for application demonstration and performing a seal check and fit test by a professional is recommended. Of course, the mask is not for everyone, as it is an intensive mask. Some complain about the tight fit, while others consider it suitable for small faces. In several cases, incorrect application occurs. The metal strip needs to be securely fastened high on the nose, pressing with both hands to create a 'suction' effect on the face. The question is, what does each person want? 3M, in order to filter all the air through the mask, or a Chinese earloop ffp2 mask from the market with a leakage (face seal leakage) of over 10%? Choose and take. This applies to other good brands with similar protection to 3M, meaning masks for intensive and hazardous industrial environments. The key is the application. In terms of filtration through the mask, all certified ffp masks, even the 20-minute ones, will provide very good efficiency. Where they fall short is in the fit and leakage around the face, mainly at the nose area.
The 9330+ is recommended for visiting hospitals, mass transportation, and crowded places. Lastly, I only buy from authorized resellers.
Edit: Even the 9320+ ffp2 performs just as well as an ffp3, as it successfully passed fit tests on the TSI portacount in N99 mode, except for N95 mode, in a recent study. In the majority of those tested, the portacount showed a fit factor above 200+, indicating that the 9330+ is unnecessary expenses for work situations outside of intensive care and industry.
The mask is excellent BUT its production size is unacceptable. It only fits people with small heads and faces. In any other case, it is terribly uncomfortable for everyday use.
For the quality of 3M, I don't need to write much, but the mask does not fit perfectly on small faces.
Also, I have noticed that the elastic bands do not always have the same size and their length differs by 1-2 centimeters.
I would say it is worth its money up to 2.5 euros, beyond that the quality/price ratio starts to deteriorate.
The best mask on the market. It offers high protection during visits to hospitals, even in a Covid-19 environment. It is now also exhibited in major museums, with reference to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, it is not suitable for prolonged use. After a few hours of use, it causes intense headaches, at least for me. Also, its price is an issue...
The best mask for protection against the coronavirus; fits perfectly, covers the mouth and nose, and is FFP3, meaning high protection of 99.9%. Some may find it tiring as it doesn't breathe as easily as the usual FFP2 masks.
The best masks in my opinion. The only negative thing is that after a few hours of wearing it, when you take it off, your face looks terrible because of the marks, due to the very good fit. But I haven't caught anything so far, even though I am around a lot of people in closed spaces every day, so I would say it's worth it :)
The problem with the mask is that it is very tight. If you have a big head, the straps are so tight that your cheeks get pushed up. When you take it off, you are left with marks from the tightness which of course go away immediately. It doesn't let any air in from the sides, which is its big advantage. So you feel somewhat safe. Because of course, with COVID you are never safe. I wear it on crowded buses and airplanes. However, you have to get used to the tightness. I don't give it 5 stars because it was difficult for me at first. For summer, I will probably use it in such cases, it is not unbearable in the heat.
By far the best mask I have used so far. The price difference may seem big, but it is worth it as its quality is on another level compared to the Chinese ones on the market. It fits just right without being too tight or too loose. For me, it is convenient and the straps go behind the head and not on the ears, which is why its application is flawless. Those of you who wear glasses and get fogged up will remember me.
If you need the ultimate protection, this mask is for you. However, you should know that it is difficult to breathe through this mask. If you are sitting (on an airplane or something similar), it may be okay, but if you are walking, you start to realize that the mask restricts your breathing a lot.
I also bought an FFP2 from the same company and the difference in ease of breathing is huge. Most of the time, I think FFP2 is sufficient.
Excellent masks! They seal very well, as they have a large sponge around the nose bridge inside them, and because the straps go behind the head and not behind the ears. They require a little practice until one learns to apply them correctly, but it is not difficult.
Although a quality mask, it does not fit someone with a normal to large head. It is very tight and does not fit well on the nose and chin. The straps easily break.
Very good mask. You feel real safety. However, the elastic bands on several of them come off. The only thing I thought of to not throw away so much money is to make a small knot at the ends of the elastic.
Excellent mask, with dense foam material on the nose area, to fit well and prevent glasses from fogging. HOWEVER, it is for small face sizes, women, and teenagers. It is small and disappointing for me.
The tires are not comfortable around the head, the nose is heavily pressed, and breathing is difficult. It is very difficult to put it on and take it off
Very good high protection masks. They fit perfectly without leaving gaps, especially on a small face. They do not press on the ears because the straps fit all the way to the back of the head. They do not easily get wet. However, sometimes if one does not pay attention during application, the straps break.
It is given that these are the best masks (respirators) on the market with over 99.97% coverage if worn correctly. Attention to those with trichophilia.
The only mask on the market that you can wear comfortably with glasses while not causing fatigue during use and providing ease in exhaling and inhaling. Practically like it doesn't exist.
Excellent application. With foamy material on the core, it helps reduce upward steam (reducing fogging of glasses). The best thing I have worn. Its support has nothing to do with the ears: one strap goes around the neck almost and the other on the top of the head.
3M warranty. I don't need to say anything more.
Quality product, with proper application. Yes, it is expensive, but you have the guarantee that what you are buying is worth its money.
Good. What can we say. 3M quality guarantee. Perhaps the best masks on the market. They "seal" and you can feel it. If they don't "seal" and you feel, for example, air escaping, you haven't put it on properly. Yes, it has straps behind the head because masks should fit well. As far as I know, NIOSH doesn't even approve masks with straps around the ears. These specific masks are recommended in hospitals for their staff (for example, https://coronavirus.newcastle-hospitals.nhs.uk/staff-information/announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-monday-14-september-2020/)
Excellent quality but very small. Maybe it fits on very small heads, children. I managed to put it on once and during the short conversation, it kept falling off due to its tight size.
The ffp2 9320 is a pain until you put it on correctly because it has straps that go behind the head and not on the ears. Breathing is very difficult, I can't stand it for more than half an hour before I start suffocating. In 20 minutes of going to the supermarket, the bottom part that covers from the mouth to the chin came off 5 times... Unacceptable design because to cover the nose and chin, you have to unfold 2 pieces that often fold back towards the mouth when you wear it and move even without speaking because it is a very small mask for children up to 12 years old.
The ffp3 9330 is better only in terms of breathing, which I will probably tolerate for 1-2 hours.
The product is expensive, however, for cases where someone cannot avoid exposure to an environment they cannot control (e.g. visiting a hospital or another crowded space), it provides the necessary security. Pros: very stable placement on the face, the product also has some "foam" in the area of the nose + under the eyes that makes it "suction" to the face (after the first time I wore it, I had mask marks on my face - I don't have them anymore, which means that over time it gradually loses contact, but I don't feel like it has lost its effectiveness). The straps do not overflow (at least after 3 uses that I have done so far), they do not bother at all, and compared to the straps behind the ears, the grip on the head is clearly more comfortable from all perspectives (it may bother some people who have long hair, but again, only for appearance). It allows you to breathe, in case of light running or fast walking it is clearly more comfortable than a regular mask, as the shape creates this small "space" for breathing that does not immediately return to the nostrils. The lower part of the mask covers the entire chin. Areas for improvement: like all masks, it has a slight odor. Also, when worn with makeup, since, as far as I know, it cannot be washed so as not to damage the filters, the makeup stays there and personally, I was only able to clean it locally with alcohol (without knowing if this is actually recommended as a cleaning method).
