We have a bedroom in our basement that does't have windows large enough to escape from if we ever had a fire in our house. That is not a fun thing to think about if you are sleeping in that room or have someone you love sleeping in that room. It is on our list of things to do in our home renovations is to eventually add in the big windows to make it safe, but in the mean time what happens if there is ever a fire and the person in the basement has to escape. I got offered to test this product a few weeks a go so I jumped at the chance to test it out and see what it or other products like it could do.
This is a great idea, to be able to have something that is light weight and easy to use in case of fire. You basically pop out the orange cap in the back to activate the filter, put the nose plug on and then bite down on the mouth guard and breath through it. Sounds like a great system if you can remember to do that when things get tense in an actual fire. The major draw back to this system is that it only lasts for 5 min. If it takes you longer than 5 min to get out of your house you could be in trouble. I would think that having a longer or bigger unit that would give you more breathing time would be worth the added bulk.
After researching this product and others like it I found that this is a great product if you don't need more than 5 min of air and like how compact it is. If you do happen to think you will need more than 5 min and are not to concerned about extra bulk there are others on amazon for less money that look to be great products with good reviews on them as well. I plan on putting this item in my basement bedroom to be used in case of fire along with some heat resistant gloves and googles that would protect eyes as well. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review.
