3M 6800 Respirator vs. Generic Ebay Copy 

This guy is so underrated

I APPRECIATE YOU TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE THIS REVIEW. THANK YOU

Happy for Your review ))) i got the orginal 6800 it works fine to wear and go shoping for hours, nice breating in it and geting more and more used to it - thanks for the review again -- Stay save from germany ))) axel

So other than the generic copy looking a lot like the 3m, it has some definite downsides😝. Good comparison vid.

I got a generic one. My only complaint is its distortion.. It makes me dizzy. I don't know if the 3m would do that to me also. To test the seals you can put your palm over the holes and breath in and breath out to test the positive and negative vacuum seals.

Thanks for making this vid, this should help people whose concerned abt getting which 3M 6800. Nice on point informative review right there 🌟 I got a legit 3M 6800 and had been used for 2 months now, but was thinking of "what if scenario" and kinda look at the copies around eBay / AliExpress / etc as a cheaper emergency alternative if ever needed. So...the problem with the copies are as you described, so long as it completely safely seals that's the most important bit. However I'm afraid abt how long it would last...and I'm also worried of the non-existent Quality Control on the copies (I think they don't even have QC there, unlike legit ones). I could get a copy in good condition like yours there or maybe...end up with something that completely breaks off the moment I pick it up 😂

Where did you buy the original?

For people outside the US maybe buying in China is a good option because you can find the clone for 20$ and in my country a full set of the 3M 6800 can cost from 230$ (only the mask) to up to 300$ some companies can charge up to 400$ for one keep in mind the base month wage for us is 281.57$ as of today so if you live in a lesser fortunate county sometimes it just doesn't make sense

they are protecting a fullday of woodworking with a lot of dust?

If your going to test the effectiveness. Do a smoke test to actually test the seals. For 5 dollars you could have really up'd your review game. This tells us nothing

I was told over and over again that I fit a medium. Is it just me, or does the medium squish your mouth? The large doesn't do that and it makes communications a lot easier. Yes, technically I can use either medium or large, but the large is magnitudes more user friendly.

Good video but have to say for a quarter of the price the generic is most likely great for most diy’ers. Thanks

I got the copy one, it is exactly as the original one made by 3M. the only thing I suggest to change are the filters, you can get the 3M filters and then put it on you copy mask and will work perfectly specially for health cares

Don’t mess with your lungs buy the 3M original.

A Correction! During the plandemic,, 3M did Not have enuff supplies to go around. 3M did Not have enough facility to Increase production. Instead, what 3M dud, was to Allow others to produce or manufacture 'legally' reproductions aka Generic. The Dufference is Specifications & Ingrediients Used. I have both. The Generic, after multiple Uses will fray. Chemicals, liquid in particular Will cause premature wear... as it should, on Generic models. The retention harness, I 'modified' with readily available head bands. Other than that... it depends on Use!

If you actually need to protect yourself, don't get the generic. I have used them trying to save a buck and they do not work. Only good for a prop or Halloween costume

some good news: The REAL 3M's are a lot more affordable now. I can easily get a half or full face respirator on amazon without having to prove one way or another that I am a critical front line worker. I highly suggest people get a respirator while they are still affordable as we don't know what the next COVID variant will bring.

Hello, how much did you pay for the original?

Would you know if the screen is impact resistant?

You currently can not buy one ANYWHERE , I know because 3 weeks ago I needed one for some painting

So essentially there is no major difference between the two

Can i use a 40mm filter on it

So generic is good enough to protect my lungs? Thanks

Without a link to the knock-off, we can’t go and buy one if we want.

sunglasses.....really?

Dont like copy shit
