Good PAPR for cheap. Not perfect, sure there are better, but it's versatile, inexpensive, NIOSH, and uses very compatible filter type.
I own three of these; two 6800PFs and one 6900PF. I bought them all before the U.S. started hoarding surgical masks for COVID-19 and their government responded by shunning the use of professional PPE of any kind in favor of cloth sashes affixed over citizen faces. I'm glad I bought these, because my immunocompromised mother was able to get through the pandemic using this, without contracting COVID-19, and I was able to seemingly do the same. They're just like the 3M 6200 half masks you buy at the home improvement store to sand or paint, but the filter drum is more standardized on this model than on many other models, the seal works with a beard, since it's positive pressure so the seal is less important because air is escaping and not infiltrating around your beard, and since it's positive pressure, it's possible to sleep in this mask, if you were forced to sleep in an area where you did not trust the air, by powering it with 5V usb from a mobile phone charger or even a PC USB port. That makes this a very safe, flexible, and inexpensive way to stay safe during a myriad of dangerous situations, like applying pesticide, sanding, washing floors with strong chlorine bleach (you need the right type of drum for this), and many other uses.
The downside of this product is it keeps the weight of the motor and filter drum on the front of your face, far from your center of gravity, so you want to be looking slightly down so that your neck doesn't get tired. I used a hose from a Russian gas mask with some candle wax to lubricate the hose threads and rubber washer to improve the seal as a way to move the filter around my neck and to the back of me, which makes this easier to wear for extended periods of time without wearing my neck out.
I bought this only for spare parts, since I've had my pandemic mask for a year and a half and parts of it are starting to wear out. My car heater damaged the motor so I needed a replacement motor, and that costs around $250, so for 100 more I own another mask for parts.Read full review

awesome
The replacement batteries for these things are ridiculously expensive. BUT!!! The motor in the PAPR unit will run on USB voltage. So just get yourself a USB male connector, clip off the plug from the PAPR and connect the two wires. There's a spare wire in the PAPR motor that's a ground; you can ignore it.Read full review

Covid-19 no more
Don’t let the reviewer who says this doesn’t have a battery charger full you. That might be the case for the 6800 version but the 6900 certainly has it. I wore it today going to the post office in San Francisco and it was a great experience. This mask will stop the corona virus. It’s worth the price for one’s life. It’s really easy to breathe, easy to put together and I couldn’t be more sastified.Read full review

PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING
This does not include the battery charger, which you MUST have in order to use the mask. To purchase the charger alone, it costs around $200. So this listing isn't the great deal it seems to be.

3M 6900 powerflow
This item is great. I am currently working with n95 and very hard to be breathing and working . This 3M mask creates a great seal around face and provides a constant flow of air. It’s awesome.
