The packaging was v cool, and well packed in a bubble wrap. The design and colour are aesthetically pleasing. Assembling and charging it was simple and instructions provided were clear and straight forward. So far, have worn the mask for my evening walks and my groceries runs. I've been wearing mostly disposable surgical masks before this so this mask feels much heavier with the filter pulling down the weight and the arch rests just slightly above the tip of nose which takes a bit of getting used to. A bit disappointed to find that the filter is not washable and is supposed to last a month. The mask feels more breathable and comfortable indoors but outdoors, it does get quite stuffy and I can feel perspiration forming around my mouth despite turning the fan to high speed. Leads me to wonder how this 1 filter is supposed to last for continuous wear under Singapore's humid weather. You can also hear the fan buzzing at the higher speeds which was ok for me outdoors but probably not so indoors or in quieter places. Battery lasts only about 3hours+ on my first charge, so was caught off-guarded when it ran out. You can feel the stuffiness almost immediately. So I guess not quite suitable for extended wear outdoors, would still need a back-up mask. Overall, I think this masks will work well for one who needs an alternative to N95 type of mask as it is definitely more breathable and comfortable to wear but probably not so for those where surgical masks are sufficient. 30 Oct: So glad to receive the replacement filter masks. This come at an opportune time as the filter that came with the air mask had lasted me for a good well 2 weeks and it's certainly time to change it. Similarly, the filter package was done very well and each replaceable filter was individually packed. This thoughtful design gives me the assurance that these are safe and clean to use. Replacing the filter was a breeze and instructions on the box of the mask filter were very clear. There were also recommendations on the service life of the filters on the box. This is very informative, allowing us to know when we should start replacing the filter, which largely depends on the duration of use and the air quality in the environments we were in.
