3M Aura Particulate Respirator, 1870+, 1870Plus, NIOSH, N95, Bulk Case of 440

Very happy these are individually wrapped and top notch quality. These are so handy to throw in my bags, cars, some in my cleaning tote, excellent in garage use and hubby's vehicles. I just sent a huge bag with daughter back to college just in case. These fit well and as long as they are adjusted correctly just like any mask I don't have fogging of my glasses. No funky smell like some of the KN95 masks I've purchased. If you stretch the bands a bit before you put on it is comfortable. Happy to get a hold of these and very pleased they are all individually Wrapped.

As others have observed, these appear to be genuine, direct-from-manufacturer products that 3M’s unloading at a cut rate because they “expire” in the next 18 months. All the info on the shipping box, including lot number, is consistent with product info on the official 3M website. Furthermore, a fairly extensive internet deep dive convinced me these things will work at or very, very near original effectiveness for as long as the rubber straps and nose clip foam maintain structural integrity…so probably several years in their individually sealed packaging, especially if stored away from sunlight and temperature extremes. Haven’t done a complete inventory of every mask, but packaging has been fully sealed so far on the 100+ I’ve pulled. Medical institutions/practices probably can’t use these past the expiration date for liability reasons, but for individuals, mutual aid groups, etc, I think these bulk mask deals from the 3M store are a good buy.

I got two of these boxes, one had 434 masks (pic for reference) and the other had 447, so expect roughly +/-10 masks with your order, at a price of ~11¢ per mask (prices on these boxes keep changing, but I bought it for US$50).They feel high quality, like other 3M Auras (9205/1870/9210) I've worn. I haven't quantitatively tested this batch, as I don't have a portacount.3M Auras have been the best fit for my face (white woman, Italian nose), followed by the 3M VFlex. If you know 3M Auras are a fit for you and your family/friends, I highly recommend buying a big box and sharing. Each mask can be worn for 40 hrs (it's recommended to leave in paper bag in between uses), so 440 masks is more than a year's supply for an individual.

I’ve bought two cases of 9205+ and 2 cases of 1870+. These were by far the most undercounted. They come in what seems to be authentic 3M aura boxes with the correct labeling and info books, but they only have about 400 masks instead of 440. Of those 1-2% of the masks are bent by shipping and packing. The masks are not packed neatly or with any care so some of them get bent a bit. The packaging tape might catch some of the masks so use extra care when opening the box (no sharp objects). I only received about 800 masks of the 880 which is really significant given the nature and cost of the product. 3M should have extremely accurate counts.

Very comfortable, stay on for hours with minimal skin pitting. Chamber around face is very big and doesn’t make you feel claustrophobic .Feels better than conical ones.

The quality of these mask were great but the sizing was too small for a man. Im sure they will work fine for most women and children however. If you have a manly face or on the heavier side you may want to pick a different mask.

I ordered my box of 440 3M Aura 1870+ respirators from HWD SAFETY. The box was an original 3M 1870+ box of 440. But the top had been re-taped. There were more than 440 masks in the box. All looked in perfect condition. I opened one and the Lot A211677 matched that on the box, which gave the manufacture date as 2021-6-16, and expiration date as 2026-6-16.So these masks are 60% through their shelf life, which I am guessing is why they are for sale at this good price. Wholesalers probably got caught with over supply when hospitals switched to breathing raw air on their patients.Now, I wish there were similar sales on the 3M 9210+ with the unbreakable straps, as these rubber straps break randomly. The 1870+ have the added feature over the 9210+ of fluid resistance—in case a patient spurts blood at you. I plan to hand out these 1870+ to healthcare workers who wear ineffective surgical masks or nothing while this pandemic grinds on.

they seem functional, time will tell what condition the elastic is in. listing says 440 respirators, I counted only 109. still a deal vs buying 109 for $50 vs buying locally at Home Depot 22 for a pack of 10, but that's a very inaccurate product description.
