This guy tests a bunch of masks, these Powecoms are one of his current recommendations. Good filtration, although he notes that they're not as breathable as some of his other recs.

This is true, the official KN95 masks adhere to China's strict healthcare standards, which are equivalent to the US' N95 standard. In fact, Powecom is the only KN95 manufacturer that has been found by the FDA to perform well enough to be awarded an emergency use clause. In an emergency, American healthcare workers can use these very masks, as they've been found to be effective by our foremost public health agency, just fyi.

Where can we choose to get the N95 masks? Where do you buy?
I have bought tons of 3M N95 masks through amazon, ebay and other retailers and all are confirmed to be genuine through 3M. But even Home Depot, Lowes, Staples, etc. have 3M N95 masks now. You can literally get genuine 3M N95 masks from Staples for 25% LESS than these Kn95 masks. It's hilarious why anyone would choose these...

Can anyone provide a link showing this as currently approved by the FDA or CDC? I see that advertised on this seller's page and their amazon page and found a couple other places claiming that but I haven't actually found it from the FDA anywhere. I could be looking in the wrong place but I was able to successfully find my previous brand of mask on the FDA site. I don't see them under P for Powecom or under G for Guangzhou Powecom Labor Insurance Supplies Co., LTD

Thanks for any help

I used them for 6 months in 2020 and moved on to KF94 and n95 when they became available last fall. Was really glad to have them but they did not fit/seal on my face well enough for last winter's surge and delta. I live in Texas where infection rate was high and mask use/vaccination was lower than 50% so threat was always high. I use the ones I have left outdoors and in places where I have space to move away from the freedom folks.

I purchased 20 of these before, and even though they definitely feel better filtration and quality than regular masks, the earloops are so tight that they hurt your ears. Not a problem for an 8-year old, but anybody over that age, they will have to come up with some kind of extender as I did (paperclip). I complained but they never got back to me.
I bought some Mask Extender Straps on Amazon specifically for this problem​

One reason why people buy this because they prefer ear loop over the headband style. Someone do some testing and find out the different between ear loop and headband, headband provide only additional 1% better seal. Example, if N95 is 96%+, then KN95 is 95%+.

You, yourself asked where N95's could be bought.... and I'm sure they have ear loop ones also if that's your preferred flavor .... so why pay apparently 25% more for these versus an N95 is their main point

Check some of those hardware store website and don't see any 3M N95 ear loop style around this price or at most 25% more. Please post a link to it from Lowes, home depot, Menards, etc that is around this price or at most 25% more. Thanks

Step 1: go to menards dot com
Step2: type in search box N95 and search
Step 3: find n95 mask as the 1st result. $6.70 for a 10 pack .... Menards SKU: 5616841
Step 4: Google adapter for ears
[Most results show people complaining about ear loop mask pain, not a preference for them... but there are easy ways to switch a behind-head to ear loop ]

You're welcome mozart..... or stick to KN95 .. you have free-will :p

Following your steps and found Cordova N95 for SKU: 5616841.
That is neither 3M, nor ear loop style. This one is headband style and has a vented so doesn't fit the recommendation of CDC which said no Vented. Is there another one that is 3M, ear loop, and meet CDC requirement for Covid-19 use (no Vented) and around this price? I don't think I see any in any USA B&M website.
Just remember something I read previously in other SD threads, I think someone mentioned 3M N95 ear loop style only made for(and sold in) Asia (outside US) or something(?) when discuss about legit 3M N95. May be because of US standard or something(?)

Do you have the vaccine? Underlying co-morbidities? If yes and no, then you don't "need" a mask... but otherwise...

the USA itself has a worker health safety standard where N95 must be behind the head strap, but as I said, there are super easy ways to convert it to your ears.... which many do not prefer, but its an option....

Guess there is no conflict of what my post try to explain. The post you are replying said some people prefer decent ear loop style that has been tested and reviewed (show meet the 95% filtration claim) and sold by a reputable store and hot deal worthy price. And don't want headband style or not as well known N95 brand. And don't want to modify the mask themselves, etc. That's my guess of one of the reason why this deal has 67 thumbs up at this moment. You can post your own reason of why this deal has 67 thumbs up.

And if anyone can provide link to similar 3M earloop N95 product from reputable store at similar price (or even slightly higher), I am sure will bring down the score (more thumbs down) for this thread. Which multiple people keep saying there is similar 3M N95 product at similar price (including cost of shipping since not everyone live near B&M stores). But when multiple people ask about it, no one provided any links. And as my original post said, some people prefer earloop style which may be one of the reason why this deal is hot. And we know headband likely provide slight better protection but 1% different (like 95% vs 96%) is acceptable for many people for ease of use.

It takes under 60 seconds to convert the mask to ear loop.....

This post has thumbs up solely because people think there is still a need for masks, despite there being an overabundance of vaccines and even treatments

Enjoy your Sunday.

This mask is the new 2019 version and not 2006 version that was tested by FDA. The mask thickness is reduced. They claim the reduction is for better breathability and not for cost saving. Go figure.

They probably think there is still a need for masks because the CDC says there is:

Quote from https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html :
If you are fully vaccinated, to maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission. [cdc.gov]
Do you live in one of those red counties on their map?
