Interesting Mask

When I first receive the Philips Fresh Air Mask, I immediately noticed its plain packaging whereby it does not have a picture / logo / name of the product.
The product itself comes in three different components:
1) Electric Fan Module
2) Outer Mask Cover
3) Replaceable Filter
The Electric Fan Module comes already attached to the Outer Mask Cover in the box, all I had to do was to manually attach the Replaceable Filter.
Initially I missed the “inner clips” on the left and right hand side of the inner mask where I have to secure Replaceable Filter to the Outer Mask Cover, so when I used it for the first time, I was not able to feel the wind that is being produced by the Electric Fan. However I soon realized my mistake and corrected attached the two parts of the mask together.
I will quickly point out what I like and dislike about the mask:
Likes:
- The breeze that is being generated within the mask by the Electric Fan module. The fan has 3 different speed settings: Low, Medium and High. I typically use the medium speed setting as I cannot feel any breeze at low speed setting.
- It provides two levels of filtration: (1) The Outer Mask and (2) The Replaceable Filter. The mask is able to filter solid particles such as PM2.5, pollen and bacteria, so the mask is good for protection against both Covid-19 and the occasional haze situation.
- It is not heavy to wear, I do not feel a significant difference in wearing this than wearing a normal face mask.
- My spectacles do not fog up when I am wearing the mask. I think the fan helps to expel out the moisture produced by my breath.
- You can adjust the length of the ear straps on both sides to adjust the fit of the mask on you
- The mask can also be used when the fan is not on.
Dislikes:
- The battery life of the mask is rather short. I can only get a maximum of 2 hours at Medium fan speed setting. This is too short when you are going outside for the entire day.
- Long charging time, the time it takes to charge the Electric Fan is actually longer then the battery life if I were to use it at Medium or High setting.
Other than the battery life and the charging time, I think that this is a well thought and well designed product. I think that this mask will be much better if it had a battery life last longer.
Overall, I will still recommend the product for people who need to run short errands outdoor or those who go out and jog outdoors. Also this mask will also be useful when the haze situation comes back again.
