– Airshield Pro Full Faceshield, Dust Protector, Battery Powered Air Circulating Mask for Woodworking, AIR/PRO, Black and Grey

First off lets be clear about this - when Trend say this is a 'Pro' item they may be stretching the point a little because heavy duty does not immediately spring to mind here and I would imagine that abuse will quickly render this item DOA. Materials and construction are nothing better than okay with a slightly irritating headband adjuster that seems to need resetting each time I use the mask. Battery life is enough for a days on and off use and it will charge overnight fine. The battery is not a LiOn one as far as I can tell so will have a memory and won't last for years. It is designed to fit this mask specifically so not sure what I'll do when it dies but as an electro-mechanical engineer I'll sort something out. This all sounds a bit negative - which it is - however the mask regains it's five star rating because it works and as long as I continue to treat it with respect I don't expect it to get broken. Anyway, as I said it works. When fitted it is comfortable despite being fairly weighty and the face seal works easily and well. In use the air supply is plentiful and working in full blast of a router and my saw bench was in no way difficult with as far as I could tell zero dust and a clear view of my work. In the end this mask does what it is supposed to do and that is to protect my lungs and eyes better than any other mask I've used. For that I can forgive the slight niggles.

Superb product. Very safe

This product is as described. I've been using it for woodworking purposes for some weeks now and it performs well. It is a little heavy on the head, but the amount of dust it stops being inhaled is amazing. Battery life is as described and easily lasts a day of hard work! One observation is that when working in cold conditions, the air being blown across the face is very cool! I had to stop after 30 mins on a particularly cold day and let my face warm up! However this is not a fault of the mask, just the UK weather. Overall, build quality is good, and as long as it is looked after, should last a long while.

Yes you hear the fan but what a great device, view is great and the cool air across the face makes it easy to work in dusty conditions- I’m chasing out for a rewire in period house - works so well

Excellent, good price.

I use this face protector on and off a few days per week. It's a big, heavy, thing but quite comfortable for all that. Once you've had it on for a while you get used to it though. The one issue that I have is that the built in ear defenders actually amplify the noise of the fan in the airshield. It feels as though the noise reverberates through the helmet and into the plastic cones of the ear pieces. I've taken mine off now and gone back to wearing my peltor defenders, which just about fit if rested upside down under the helmet. This is a real design flaw. Update: I communicate the above issue of noise transfer to Trend and I may as well have told next door's cat. Not interested and no suggestion for fixing the issue (which they said was a new one to them.....if they'd read the other reviews on Amazon they'd have seen it was a well communicated issue). I ended up buying some in ear defenders, which aren't fantastic but certainly don't transmit the sound like the built-in ones do.

Very good at keeping dust away from the face. Very comfortable to wear. However, the fan in the helmet is much noisier that it could be. Trend could easily have used a silent bearing fan which would have given it five stars.

I have toyed for a long time , about buying an Airpro Mask . I recently turned a bowl from Amoroko which was dusty when sanding. I decided to buy the Airpro to see if it made a difference. It really does make it difference, a cool stream of air across your face, makes it very pleasant to wear. It is not cheap, but I do believe it stops me breathing in wood dust, so it is worth the cost.
