Need to buy the carriages, which are N99 and much better at filtering particulate matter and gasses than n95 cone masks or paper surgical masks. Biggest problem is there is no filter on exhaled air, just a purge valve. So the wearer is protected, but not the people around them. Can rig a filter for exhaled air, but not ideal.
I don't know why they would say it's not for consumer use--I own something similar (not sure if it's the same model or not) because I'm allergic to crabgrass and it does a number on me when I bring out the weed-eater otherwise.

Nice catch that I would not have known without research.
