UVMask

I was part of the initial Kickstarter, and I was really looking for PPE that went beyond the simple masks we had at the time. I bought 2, for my wife and I, but by the time it shipped, simpler KN95 masks were available. The UVMasks were too heavy, hard to breathe through, poor sealing, too loud, and sat on the face in a way that made even simple facial expressions disruptive to what face seal was available. The built-in fan, touted as a way to ease breathing, does not appreciably help at all. These units were shipped, and were received. I do not agree that the company "is a scam" but they clearly could not provide a design that provided the feature set they claimed, at a price they could realize an appropriate return on. It's a good idea, but this implementation is just not good enough to use, let alone purchase.

This Campaign looks suspicous... Descriptions from the team in the Campaign are pictures- to make it harder to google the names? to not find something?

The fan is ineffective making no difference to air flow, and is soo loud that the mask is unusable. The money back guarantee is only being honoured in cases of provable financial hardship

Need them to make it fit variations in face sizes! I got a size small but the actual mask was too tall and narrow, getting the large rubber ring wouldn’t change that flaw. I couldn’t wear my glasses with these and couldn’t hear myself think over the two noisy fans that never turn off. Lots of air escaping from all edges as a result. Customer service seems sketchy so far.

At the time of purchase you could read: "30-day satisfaction guarantee". I have received the product and I am not satisfied and I have requested a return. This is the answer from them: Hi ​xxxxx, We have carefully reviewed your case. However, we are unable to grant you a refund at this stage. We are doing everything we can to solve issues and to continuously try and improve. Kickstarter and Indiegogo are not online stores. Creators and Backers work together to improve the product and make progress. Crowdfunding allows us to take an idea from the drawing board and turn it into something feasible. During the development of such an intricate product there will be ups and downs. This is to be expected, nonetheless we will always put in the effort to try and rectify matters the best we can. We thank you for your support. Kind regards, UM Team

This company is a SCAM - they charge for shipping on items that never ever ship. 100% fraud!
