Embrace the New Year With a New Vacuum Cleaner by Stark's Vacuums in the Vancouver-Portland Metro area.As the calendar flips to a brand-new year, it’s the perfect time to embark on a journey of revitalization and renewal. While resolutions often revolve around personal goals, let’s not forget the sanctuary we call home. Picture this: a sparkling clean space where every nook and cranny radiates freshness and clarity. Enter the New Year with a rejuvenated cleaning routine and, of course, a new vacuum cleaner perfectly suited to your needs.

Why Start With a Clean Slate?

There’s something magical about starting the year on the right foot, and what better way than by establishing a fresh cleaning routine? A tidy home doesn’t just promote physical health but significantly impacts mental well-being. Research has shown that a clean space reduces stress and promotes a sense of calmness, allowing you to focus on your goals with a clear mind.

Choosing the Perfect Vacuum Cleaner

Investing in a new vacuum cleaner might just be the cornerstone of your revamped cleaning routine. With the latest technology and innovative features, today’s vacuums cater to a wide array of needs:

  1. Versatility: Consider a versatile vacuum that adapts to the individual needs of your home. Stark’s offers a wide range of Upright, Canister, and Stick Vacuums to accommodate your cleaning needs. 
  2. Allergen Filtration: For those prone to allergies, opt for a vacuum equipped with HEPA filters. These effectively trap dust, pet dander, and other allergens, ensuring cleaner air quality in your home.
  3. Convenience and Efficiency: Look for features like cordless operation, bagless containers, or even smart functionalities that make cleaning more efficient and hassle-free.

Crafting Your New Cleaning Routine

Pairing a new vacuum with a well-structured cleaning routine is a recipe for success. Start by creating a schedule that suits your lifestyle. Whether it’s a daily quick tidy or a weekly deep clean, consistency is key. Here are a few tips to kickstart your routine:

  • Set Manageable Goals: Break down cleaning tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. Tackling one room at a time can make the process feel less overwhelming.
  • Declutter Regularly: Before diving into a cleaning session, decluttering can make the job easier. Clearing out unnecessary items helps maintain a clutter-free space.
  • Involve the Family: Make cleaning a team effort by involving everyone at home. Assign age-appropriate tasks to instill a sense of responsibility and teamwork.

Embrace the Change, Embrace the Clean!

As you step into the New Year, embrace the opportunity to create a home environment that nurtures positivity and productivity. A new vacuum cleaner coupled with a revamped cleaning routine sets the stage for a fresh start. Don’t hesitate to explore the range of options available at any of our eight locations, or online at starks.com to find the perfect cleaning companion that suits your unique needs and preferences.

Remember, a clean home isn’t just about appearances; it’s about creating a space that elevates your well-being and sets the tone for a fulfilling year ahead. Let this New Year be the catalyst for a cleaner, brighter, and happier home!

Here’s to a sparkling start to the year ahead!

The Evolution of Vacuum Cleaners: A Historical Perspective by Stark’s Vacuums

The Evolution of Vacuum Cleaners A Historical Perspective by Stark's Vacuums in the Vancouver-Portland Metro area.

A diagraming showcasing The Evolution of Vacuum Cleaners: A Historical Perspective - Stark's VacuumsIn the modern world, vacuum cleaners are a staple in our households, making the task of cleaning our homes significantly more convenient. But have you ever wondered how these indispensable machines came into existence? As vacuum experts since our beginnings in 1932, let us take you on a historical journey through the evolution of vacuum cleaners, tracing their development from humble beginnings to the advanced models available at Stark’s Vacuums today and featured in our unique Vacuum Museum.

The Early Days: 19th Century

The concept of a vacuum cleaner can be traced back to the 19th century, long before the electric vacuum cleaner we’re familiar with today. Early designs relied on manual labor and human-powered mechanisms. These early contraptions were heavy, cumbersome, and far from the efficient and convenient machines we use today.

The Pioneering Patents

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw numerous inventors filing patents for various vacuum cleaner designs. One notable figure in this history is Hubert Cecil Booth, a British engineer, who invented a large vacuum cleaner driven by an oil engine to clean the luxurious carpets in Westminster Abbey. This marked the birth of the motorized vacuum cleaner.

Electricity Powers the Revolution

It was not until the early 1900s that electric vacuum cleaners made their debut. Hubert Cecil Booth’s large, petrol-driven machine inspired the development of smaller, more practical models. Electric-powered vacuum cleaners quickly gained popularity for their effectiveness and convenience.

The Hoover Legacy

In 1908, the Hoover Company introduced the Model O, the first commercially successful portable vacuum cleaner. It was a game-changer, leading to the use of the term “hoovering” as a synonym for vacuuming in some parts of the world.

The Hoover Legacy at Stark’s Vacuum Museum

To appreciate the history and legacy of vacuum cleaners, you can visit Stark’s Vacuum Museum, one of the nation’s only museums dedicated to vacuum cleaners. Here, you can explore the historical milestones, innovations, and iconic brands that have shaped the industry. The museum showcases vintage vacuum cleaners, offering a glimpse into the early days of cleaning technology.

The Advent of Robotic Vacuum Cleaners

One of the most significant leaps in vacuum cleaner technology came with the introduction of robotic vacuum cleaners, such as the iRobot Roomba. These autonomous machines navigate your home, cleaning your floors with minimal human intervention.

Stark’s Vacuums: A Legacy of Quality

At Stark’s Vacuums, we’ve been part of this evolving history for nearly a century. Our commitment to offering the best in vacuum cleaner technology, from top brands like Miele, Sebo, and Riccar, has allowed us to stay at the forefront of the industry. We’re proud to provide our customers with the latest and most efficient floor cleaning solutions.

The evolution of vacuum cleaners is a fascinating journey through time, from the early days of manual labor to the advanced, high-tech machines available today. Stark’s Vacuums, with its unique Vacuum Museum, not only offers the latest in cleaning technology but also celebrates the historical significance of these essential household cleaning devices. With over 300 donated and traded-in models, our museum showcases the evolution of vacuums, from 1800s wooden devices to stylish 1960s cleaners. Notable highlights include the two-person-operated Busy-Bee and the gravity-defying Duntley Pneumatic. A must-visit for vacuum enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

The Vacuum Museum is located at the Stark’s Portland location at 107 NE Grand Avenue. Admission is free.

To help you get your home in tip-top shape, Stark’s Vacuums presents the ultimate holiday cleaning checklist. Follow these steps, and your home will be guest-ready in no time!

Declutter and Organize

Before you dive into cleaning, start by decluttering your living spaces. Clear countertops, put away loose items, and organize your belongings. This not only makes your home look neater but also creates a sense of order that your guests will appreciate.

Deep Clean the Floors

Vacuuming your floors is the foundation of any good cleaning routine. Ensure your carpets are free of dirt, dust, and pet hair. With Stark’s extensive range of vacuum cleaners, you can choose the perfect model to tackle your specific flooring needs, whether it’s carpets, hardwood, or tiles.

For your convenience, we also offer commercial-grade carpet cleaning rentals at all our locations. 24 hours is usually good for smaller projects and 48 hours is enough time for bigger projects. We also offer an upholstery and stair cleaning tool for FREE that can reach into tight areas, clean couches and chairs, and clean stairs easily.

Freshen Up Soft Furnishings

Make your living room cozy and inviting by fluffing up your throw pillows, blankets, and cushions. A quick run of your vacuum’s upholstery attachment will remove any pet dander or dust mites, ensuring that your guests can relax comfortably.

Along with our SANITAIRE rentals, we offer an upholstery cleaning tool rental for FREE from Stark’s Vacuums to help you with all your household upholstery cleaning needs. The attachment tool is perfect for reaching tight carpeted areas, and corners, and cleaning carpeted staircases. It also gives upholstered couches and chairs a refreshing new feel.

Dust and Polish Surfaces

Dust accumulates on various surfaces over time. Don’t forget to dust your shelves, furniture, and decor items. For a sparkling finish, polish any wooden furniture to bring out its natural shine. Stark’s has a range of vacuum attachments and accessories that can help with these tasks.

Focus Some Time on the Kitchen and Dining Areas

For holiday gatherings, a clean kitchen is a must. Pay special attention to your countertops, sinks, and appliances. Run the dishwasher and empty the trash to keep your kitchen tidy during the event. In your dining area, polish your silverware and glassware. Make sure your table linens are clean, and set a beautiful table that’s ready for a feast.

Give Your Bathrooms a Quick Wipe and Restock

Guests often judge a home by the cleanliness of its bathroom. Scrub the sink, toilet, bathtub, or shower. Don’t forget to replace any empty toilet paper rolls and refill soap dispensers.

Ensure Safety

Lastly, ensure the safety of your guests. Check that all smoke detectors are working and that any potential tripping hazards are removed.

A clean and well-prepared home is the perfect backdrop for holiday gatherings and celebrations. Stark’s Vacuums is here to assist you in achieving a clean and inviting space with the right vacuum cleaners and cleaning accessories.

Kid-Friendly Holiday Cleaning Activities: Making Chores Fun with Stark’s Vacuums

Kid Friendly Holiday Cleaning Activities by Starks Vacuum's in the Vancouver-Portland Metro area.

Father with two small children vacuuming their home - Learn about Kid-Friendly Holiday Cleaning Activities: Making Chores Fun with Stark's VacuumsThe holiday season is a time of joy, excitement, and anticipation, especially for kids. While we’re all busy preparing for festive gatherings, it’s a great opportunity to get your little ones involved in the holiday cleaning activities. With some creativity and the right tools, such as vacuum cleaners from Stark’s Vacuums, you can turn cleaning into a fun family experience. In this blog post, we’ll explore kid-friendly holiday cleaning activities that will help you get your home in tip-top shape while bonding with your children.

The “Dance and Vacuum” Routine

Let’s face it, vacuuming can be a bit of a chore, but it doesn’t have to be! Crank up your favorite holiday tunes and turn vacuuming into a dance party. Kids love music, and grooving to the beats while pushing a vacuum cleaner is not only fun but also an effective way to get those floors sparkling clean.

Stark’s Pro Tip: Choose a lightweight vacuum cleaner that’s easy for kids to handle, so they can join in the fun.

“I Spy” Dusting

Turn dusting into a game of “I Spy.” Challenge your kids to find the dustiest spots in the house, and watch them eagerly reach for their dusters. Whoever finds and cleans the most dust wins a small reward. This game makes dusting an interactive and educational experience.

Stark’s Pro Tip: Consider a cordless vacuum with a detachable handheld unit for quick spot cleaning and high shelves.

The “Messy to Marvelous” Race

Set a timer and see who can tidy up their room the fastest. Kids love a little friendly competition, and this game can help you teach them about responsibility and organization. The winner can choose the evening’s holiday movie!

Stark’s Pro Tip: Have a cordless stick vacuum on hand for quick cleanups and spot checks.

“Decorate While You Clean”

This activity combines holiday decorating and cleaning. Kids can help hang ornaments on the Christmas tree, and as they finish, they can vacuum up fallen needles and glitter. It’s a creative way to involve them in both decorating and cleaning.

Stark’s Pro Tip: Use a cordless or robot vacuum to quickly clean up small messes without interrupting the festivities.

“Jack Frost” Window Art Eraser

Kids love drawing on windows with washable markers. When it’s time to clean up, hand them a spray bottle with water and a cloth, and let them “erase” their artwork. This not only gets windows sparkling clean but also keeps kids engaged.

Stark’s Pro Tip: Use a versatile canister vacuum with an upholstery attachment to clean window sills and curtains.

Holiday cleaning doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore. With a bit of creativity and the right tools from Stark’s Vacuums, you can turn it into a fun and bonding experience for the whole family. Let your kids take part in the cleaning activities this holiday season, and you’ll be amazed at how much fun it can be.

Which Miele Vacuum is Right for Me?

a miele vacuum is a great choice, but which is right for you? starks has answers

a miele vacuum is a great choice, but which is right for you? starks has answersA new Miele vacuum cleaner is more than a vacuum upgrade – it’s a life upgrade. That may sound like hyperbole, but it’s not – and once you experience the difference for yourself, you’ll agree. Miele vacuum cleaners make cleaning your home easier, which means it takes less time and effort to do more, and that’s a clear win. So if you’ve decided to go with Miele for your next vacuum, you’ve made a wise decision. Only one question remains: Which Miele vacuum is right for you? 

The first thing you should know is that Miele vacuums fall into two main categories: stick vacuums and canister vacuums.

Miele Stick Vacuums

Who are Miele stick vacuums best for? Stick vacuums are a great choice if one of your top priorities is convenience. Stick vacuums are easy to use and easy to store, and because it’s a Miele, you know it has more than enough power to get even the most stubborn messes. 

If you live in an apartment or have limited space, stick vacuums are a great choice, as there’s no bulky, difficult-to-maneuver canister. They also come with a variety of attachments, allowing you to vacuum all your nooks and crevices and hidden areas without having to rearrange furniture. 

Check out a couple of our favorite Miele stick vacuum models:

  • Miele Triflex HX1 Pro | Free Nationwide Shipping – The top-of-the-line Miele stick vacuum, Triflex HX1 Pro comes with a HEPA AirClean lifetime filter to ensure you’re getting all the tiny particles and contaminants that could easily get missed by other vacuums. It also has an 11” wide ElectroBrush with BrilliantLight for sanitization. 
  • Miele Triflex HX1 Homecare | Free Nationwide Shipping – The Triflex HX1 Homecare doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as the HX1 Pro, but it’s an amazing vacuum for the price – and amazingly powerful, too! 

Miele Canister Vacuums

Who are Miele canister vacuums best for? Anyone who is looking for a top-notch vacuum

Even though the price point is slightly higher than other vacuum brands, Miele canister vacuums are worth it. As long as you properly care for yours, it will last you a very long time. And it can do pretty much anything you ask it to do. If you’re tired of shopping around searching for the best value and you’re ready for the best period, you owe it to yourself to consider a Miele canister vacuum.

Check out some of our favorite Miele canister vacuum models:

Which Miele Vacuum Should You Get If You Have Pets?

As any pet owner knows, hair and fur get EVERYWHERE. Most vacuums don’t stand a chance. They either leave too much behind or get jammed on a regular basis. Some pet owners even resort to getting two vacuum cleaners – one for pet hair, and a separate one for everything else. But if you go with Miele, one vacuum is all you need. 

Miele offers a line of Cat & Dog vacuums designed to handle everything you need it to do around the house, while also making quick work of pet hair:

Should You Get a Miele Vacuum?

Miele vacuums are sturdily constructed machines with high-quality components. With proper care, your Miele will last you a long time. With some research into which model is ideal for your household, your Miele will feel like it’s custom-made for you.

We recommend Miele vacuum cleaners to anyone looking for the best vacuum they’ll ever own. If that sounds like you, then yes, you should consider a Miele.

But don’t take our word for it. Come on down to one of our Stark’s locations in the Portland and Vancouver area, or Bend, and test drive a Miele yourself!

Should I Repair or Replace My Broken Vacuum?

a vacuum cleaner undergoing repair because it's not ready for replacement yetVacuum cleaners are essential tools for keeping our homes clean and dust-free. However, like any mechanical device, they can wear out over time or encounter issues that require attention. If you are dealing with mechanical malfunctions, you may be wondering what the best solution is: Should you repair or replace your broken vacuum? 

There are many aspects to consider like the condition of the vacuum, its value, the availability of spare parts, and the cost of repair versus buying a new one. Let’s dive in and discuss these factors and how they can help you decide whether vacuum repair or replacement is best for you.

Assessing the Condition of the Vacuum

The first step in deciding whether to replace or repair your vacuum is to evaluate its overall condition. Consider factors such as:

  • The age of the appliance
  • Its past maintenance history
  • The severity of the issue

If your vacuum is relatively new, has been well-maintained, or the problem appears to be minor, repair might be the most sensible option. However, if your vacuum is older, has a history of recurring problems, or the repair costs are likely to be significant, it might be worth considering a replacement.

The Value of Your Vacuum

Another crucial aspect to consider is the value of your vacuum cleaner. Some vacuum models are built to last, with robust construction and high-quality components. They may have higher suction power, advanced filtration systems, and innovative features that can make your cleaning tasks more efficient. If you own one of these high-end vacuums, it might be wise to invest in repairs to extend its lifespan. 

On the other hand, if your vacuum has shown signs of poor performance even when it was functioning correctly, it might be better to put your money toward a new and improved model. If you’re ever unsure about your choice, the local vacuum experts with Stark’s are here to help you weigh the pros and cons.

Availability of Spare Parts

When contemplating repairs, you’ll need to ascertain if necessary spare parts are readily available. If you own a popular or widely used vacuum model, chances are spare parts will be relatively easy to find. Many manufacturers provide spare parts, including filters, belts, and brushes, allowing you to restore your vacuum to its former glory.

However, if your vacuum is an obscure or discontinued model, acquiring spare parts might prove challenging or even impossible. In such cases, replacement might be the more viable option.

Weighing the Costs

The final aspect to consider is the cost of repair versus buying a new vacuum cleaner. While repair costs can vary significantly depending on the extent of the damage and the specific model, it’s generally a good idea to compare the estimated repair costs with the price of a new vacuum. 

As a general rule, if the repair costs exceed 50% of the price of a comparable new vacuum, it might be more cost-effective to purchase a replacement. However, if the repair costs are significantly lower and can breathe new life into your vacuum, repair is likely the way to go.

Stark’s Vacuums for Repair or Replacement

Deciding whether to repair or replace your vacuum cleaner can be a challenging decision. The knowledgeable pros at Stark’s Vacuums have been helping people just like you for over 90 years.

Suck it Up: Improving IAQ in Allergy Season

Vacuum cleaning a carpet - Improving IAQ During Allergy Season

As we meander into another summer, nature calls to us with sunshine, clear skies, and everything in bloom. But if you’re part of the quarter of society managing a seasonal allergy, spring and summer may be more trouble than it’s worth. Some may see picturesque days perfect for enjoying nature with friends while others struggle with sneezing, congestion, itching, and post-nasal drip. So, what can you do? 

We’re sorry to say that you can’t keep the plants from pollinating. But with the right precautions and proper equipment, you can turn your home into an oasis from all things allergen. And Stark’s Vacuums is here to help!

Common Spring Allergies

Most outdoor allergens in the spring and summer come from particles of pollen being released by plants looking to propagate. In late winter to mid spring this comes from trees, like oak, elm, maple and birch. And then, in late spring to early summer, grass pollination makes up a majority of seasonal summer allergies. Hearing that, you might be tempted to spend your warm season indoors – but is that enough to keep you comfortable? 

If you have asthma or an existing respiratory disease, it’s crucial to understand the factors contributing to poor IAQ, or indoor air quality. Indoor allergens may come from: 

  • Pets
  • Carpet and rugs
  • Bedding
  • Indoor plants
  • Soft furniture

Pollen is the problem when it comes to outdoor allergies, while dust and dander are the major issues inside the hole. So what can you do to ensure your home’s IAQ is safe and comfortable?

Tips to Reduce Allergens at Home

What can you do to control allergy symptoms within the home? You can try: 

  • Clearing clutter to reduce dust mites and other pests
  • Scrubbing the bathroom to keep it free of mold
  • Washing sheets in hot water on a weekly basis
  • Avoiding air drying, which can attract more pollen
  • Not using scented cleaners or detergents, as the scents may aggravate your allergy symptoms 

Some of these tactics are easier to implement than others, though all of them can benefit in keeping your home cleaner and better to live and work in. And none is more important than frequent, habitual vacuuming.

Benefits of Vacuuming

How can vacuuming on a regular basis improve your quality of living? Vacuums are capable of safely removing a majority of dust, dander and mold throughout a home. It can do this even better if it has an allergen or HEPA filter, both of which are available for most models of vacuum cleaner. With that extra level of security, you can trap unhealthy particles and render your home more sanitary and easier to live in.

The Benefits of Owning a Central Vacuum

Central vacuum hose attached to wall. Stark's Vacuums serving Portland OR and Vancouver WA talks about the benefits of a central vacuum system.

Central vacuum hose attached to wall. Stark's Vacuums serving Portland OR and Vancouver WA talks about the benefits of a central vacuum system.Once you experience all the wonderful benefits that a central vacuum has to offer, you’ll wonder what took you so long to get one! Let’s face it, vacuuming can be a chore, especially if your home has stairs. Hauling it up and downstairs, moving it into different rooms, looking for power outlets, trying not to run over the cord that gets in the way – and then of course, there is the mess of emptying the bag or canister.

Installing a central vacuum is the answer to all these issues and more. If that is true, why haven’t more people installed one in their home? The fact is, many homeowners aren’t even aware central vacuums are an option, and there are many misconceptions about how they work.

Can You Install Central Vac In Existing Home?

One of the greatest misconceptions about central vacuums is that installing a system in an existing home requires a major renovation and tearing down walls. Thankfully, this isn’t true. The only hole required is covered with an inlet backing plate and the pipes are usually fed through an attic, basement, or crawlspace.

Benefits and Features of a Central Vacuum System

Here are just a few reasons to choose a central vac:

  1. Lightweight: No more hauling a vacuum upstairs. Eliminate heavy lifting and tangled cords!
  2. Convenient: To activate the central vacuum system, just plug the lightweight hose into the wall inlet, flip the switch on the handle, and start cleaning.
  3. Hygienic: Central vac systems are far more effective than conventional vacuums at providing relief from allergy symptoms and triggers.
  4. Powerful: Central vacuums offer the same range of attachments and accessories as portable vacuums, but are three to five times more powerful, which can make a significant improvement in your indoor air quality.

Allergies? Breathe Easy with a Central Vac

Central vacuum owners comment about how much cleaner the air is inside their homes, and allergy sufferers typically notice a reduction in their allergy symptoms. A central vacuum system removes 100% of contacted dust, mites, pollen, animal dander, and other allergens. If you have allergies, you know how incredible that number is! This makes a central vacuum system ideal for those with allergies.

Something else that is a fantastic benefit, is that central vacuum systems have a much larger collection receptacle than conventional vacuums, so they don’t have to be emptied as often. This reduces an allergy sufferer’s exposure to dust. Also, because the power unit is typically installed in a garage or basement, emptying the collection receptacle is unlikely to reintroduce dirt into your main living areas.

Save with DIY Central Vacuum Installation

Have you suddenly found yourself with a bit more time on your hands than normal? You can save money by installing a central vacuum system yourself!
Perhaps you have a stimulus check burning a hole in your pocket? If so, now is the perfect time to invest in a central vacuum. In the long run it will save you time and money!
If you aren’t really a do-it-yourself type of person, our vacuum experts can safely install your system with minimal contact. We take your health and the health of our staff very seriously. All employees wear face masks and observe all recommended safety measures.

If you have any questions about central vacuums, other vacuums, or other cleaning-related questions feel free to give us a call. Our friendly vacuum experts are ready to assist you!

Where to Buy Face Masks in Oregon, Washington, and Online

Are cloth masks necessary and where can I buy them?

Are cloth masks necessary and where can I buy them? Stark's Vacuums sells face masks online.Experts are finding, based on the rise of asymptomatic spread, that some form of mask is better than none in slowing the spread of COVID-19. With the increased number of states urging, or even mandating, the use of face masks in public, this has left millions of Americans wondering where they can buy a mask. As of the writing of this post, there are seven states requiring residents to wear masks when in public – and we anticipate that trend to continue.

The use of medical grade masks is reserved for our frontline workers, but the CDC is now recommending that everyone should be wearing a mask when going out in public. However, the surge in demand and tight restrictions on supply are making these protective masks difficult to locate.

    Favorite masks! I have tried other masks, but keep going back to the Stark ones — soft, comfortable, doesn’t get soggy. Great masks! I would love to see Stark submit the masks to NIOSH testing to determine the filtration capability. I suspect it would do quite well, maybe even comparable to a disposable surgical mask.

  2. J Armfield (verified owner)

    I’ve had my black Stark’s facemask for about a year now, and it is the only one I use. It gets hand washed and air dried multiple times per week, and has definitely stood the test of time. No issues whatsoever, and has not frayed at all. I have worn this mask for over 24 hours straight during international travel, and it has always remains cool and comfortable. Absolutely recommend this brand!

  3. Gabe (verified owner)

    I’ve been working as a mover in NYC during the pandemic and wearing these masks almost since the beginning. Cannot recommend them enough, they’re breathable even when I’m sweating bringing items up to a 5-floor walkup in summer. They also really help keep my glasses unfogged.

  4. Michael West (verified owner)

    Excellent mask. Great service. Fast delivery.

  5. Charlie (verified owner)

    Love your masks!

  6. Holly Barrick (verified owner)

    I love these masks, especially for my son at school. However, DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE DRYER! I found out the hard way that doing so completely ruins the elastic in the straps of the small masks, making them unusable. It was my own fault and I did it on accident – I normally air dry my masks. Big, expensive, “oops.”

    Just placed my second mask order. We have tried many masks and my kids (9 and 5 years old) have both said this is their favorite mask to wear. Both of my two older kids wear glasses and this mask has worked great so far. This is their preferred masks to wear to school. They tell me how comfortable they are and they don’t mind wearing them. It is hard to find a mask that works well with glasses and a child face and I am so glad we found this brand.

    Great fitting, comfortable and sturdy. This is my second purchase of masks. I really appreciate the prompt delivery via USPS.

    Of all the masks I have worn these many, many months, it is yours that I have liked the best! They are comfortable, breathable, protective, and stylish. Now, as this pandemic continues, have ordered some extras, and am thrilled that I will have the nose wires this time.

    This is my second purchase. First time around they only offered black and white colors and no adjustable straps. Now they offer multiple colors and adjustable straps, nice work! This truly is a great mask – good coverage and the extending flap at the top prevents my glasses from fogging up – the best feature, in my opinion. They also didn’t offer the bridge guards my first time around, but the mask works perfectly fine without one – no fogging of the glasses! I have a lot of masks, and this is one of the best I’ve found. It’s an excellent product.

    Second time purchaser, love the adjustable ear loops and colors! The fabric dries quickly, these fit well, and keep my glasses from fogging up.

    These have been our favorite masks and we have many both regular and small sizes. I recently ordered more and the small purple masks came with ear loops that are different than previous orders; the loops are NOT stretchy and are scratchy and uncomfortable. 5 stars for the old style loops, 1 for the new.

  15. Chris (verified owner)

    I have bought these masks twice now. They are my favorite and the most comfortable. I wear a silicone face shield under my mask and Stark’s work best with it! I also love all the new colors!

    Mask fits ok, everyone has a different shaped face. I wish the nose strip was incorporated and it had an underchin panel for beards. This is portland…

    Works the best for wearing glasses and they are comfortable

  19. Andi (verified owner)

    I have purchased several different masks and these have consistently been my favorite. They are light on my face, I can breathe easily, and they don’t irritate the backs of my ears. In general they work well with my reading glasses although I sometimes get a little fog. Not much though. I am going to purchase the nose bridge strips now to see if this helps. And I am ordering some different colors besides just black as I decided this is my favorite mask so I need to stock up. These even work well over a disposable mask when I want to double-mask in the grocery store.

    We bought these for our warehouse staff and out of the half dozen or so places we’ve purchased masks from these are a clear favorite. They throw around 40-50 lb boxes and are constantly in motion 8+ hours a day and we have had 0 complaints about these masks. We will definitely purchase these again.

  21. CLMM (verified owner)

    My favorite mask by far! I can breath easily and it’s very comfortable.

    I cannot recommend these masks enough! The quality is fantastic and the material is incredibly breathable; as someone with asthma, I have struggled to find masks that didn’t cause exacerbation. These masks are perfect! I also wear glasses and every single mask I have tried has caused fogging – EXCEPT THESE! They are lightweight, super comfortable, truly anti-fog, and very breathable. I love, love, love them. A+

    I have probably 10 different types of facemasks. But consistently we reach for the starks masks and they are the ones now that have gotten lost ( because they have been out so much) and so I must replace them. They wash up easily, they fit well, they are comfortable the fabric feels great and breathes well. I really appreciate buying from an American company and getting a solid product that got shipped pretty fast, so we came back for more!

    Great at keeping my glasses from fogging. I work at a client facing job and give out your email almost every day to clients who want to know if they work and where did I get them.

    Great masks! I’ve bought so many different masks from various companies in hopes of finding the perfect fit. This is the best I’ve found. I just put in a second order.

  33. Kathy Robertson (verified owner)

    I LOVE these masks and just received my second order. I am a bit disappointed that the purple masks have a white lining. Even with the masks we still wear lipstick or some kind of lip balm and my mask was a mess after the first wearing. With the darker lining you can at least get away with it for a couple of days. LOL

      The demand was extremely high so we did decide to bring them back in at least 1 more time. It will be a few weeks.

  34. Ethel (verified owner)

    I love these masks and are the best fitting that I’ve found. As an essential worker the layers of fabric and good fit made me feel safer. I’ve recommended these masks to many of the clients.

  35. Penny brill (verified owner)

    The masks arrived quickly. They fit well, are very comfortable, and fit over N95 masks too. They hold up well after repeated washing. I recommend to friends and have reordered. The extra nose-covering fabric works beautifully. Thank you for your outstanding service to protecting our health!!!

  36. Irene Rockwell (verified owner)

    This review is for the original mask, and I agree with Carmen. Keep selling the ones without beads. I bought a bunch of them back in April 2020, and they are extremely comfortable, keep most fog off my glasses, and are still good as new, despite being through the washer and dryer many times. Also, I live in a capital city and have been Uber driving this whole time and have not caught Covid19, the flu, or a cold. Something is keeping the germs away!

    I will definitely hit you up when I’m ready to buy a new vacuum!

  37. Carmen

    I really like these masks but the ones that are available now have longer ear loops with the beads to adjust them the original ones I had ordered did not they just had a nice set length this new adjustable ear length makes the mask extremely uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time as the bead sits right on your ear I could only recommend these mask if they made both options available the adjustable and non adjustable earloop. Thank you

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      Thank you for the feedback. I might suggest you adjust the bead so it sits in front of your ear instead of behind. This is a simple solution but adjusting the position of the bead. Nobody says it has to be behind the ear! Hope that helps.

  38. Sherry Budd (verified owner)

    Well fitting, comfortable and cool. The nose piece is great and does keep my glasses from fogging. I am often asked where I get my masks and am happy to recommend the site.

  39. Geraldine Keith (verified owner)

    This is my 2nd order of 5 face masks. I have bought masks from other sellers, but none of them compare to these masks. They are comfortable and fit nicely. I wear glasses which fit nicely over the nose guard. The price is right and it’s an ecpectioal product.

  40. Bonnie (verified owner)

    I’ve had the first order for months. I appreciate the anti fog piece but still have some trouble. I want to have different colors in one Packet. Possible?

      Yes, we sell individual masks and you can pick each color, the free mask is random.

  41. Tom Whitney (verified owner)

    As a full-time eyeglass wearer…it’s been such a pleasure to find masks that fit well, wash & dry easily, AND can stay on my face -all day- at work without fogging over my glasses! So glad my wife found the Stark’s advertising earlier in 2020!!! Anxious for my next order to arrive this week!

    Love everything about these masks…the fabric, the fit, the look. I feel safe and they look great. The only comment I would make is that the earpieces are a little too thick. I would rather have thinner ones…they kind of make my ears stick out.

    I may have submitted a previous positive review earlier in the pandemic, but OMG, I need to reiterate that these masks are the best! I am an early childhood teacher, and must wear my mask all day. These are the only masks I have found that fit well, are comfortable all day- even in the heat, and don’t fog up my glasses. I appreciate that it has the three layers with the extra filtering layer. The quality is amazing. They are breathable, don’t trap moisture, and they have held up extremely well after six months of repeated washing and wearing. I have a set of them now for each day, and some extras to swap out. Thanks so much for the great product. It’s made my pandemic world just a tiny bit easier.

  48. Tara (verified owner)

    Starks masks are my favorite! I have many different brand masks at this point and just ordered more of these. They fit great, I love the nose flap and the multiple layers. If I can’t have an N95- these are what make me feel most confident and protected over other types and brands that I have.

    I loved the mask. They are soft. I bought before the ear loops were adjustable, so I needed to sew ear loops to fit me. Also, I wish they had a metal nose guard. I feel it would stay on better and not fog my glasses as much.

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      We don’t include it as the option is a metal nose piece with adhesive on one side. This gives us versatility as many customers don’t want or need the metal piece. It is more comfortable without. We will offer the metal nose piece as an add on very soon, otherwise you can get them on Amazon currently. Stay safe.

  51. Dan Carlson (verified owner)

    This is the second time I have ordered. This time I get the adjusters on these great masks. The first time I got them – no adjustments – but were still great masks. I ordered Monday the 25th and got them today – Friday the 29th – in Iowa – amazing. I can’t find better masks, even at twice the price. Staying healthy – Dan

  52. V.J. (verified owner)

    Great face mask. Just sometimes eyeglasses will fog up and the nose flap slides up into the bottom of my eyes. My next order I will order a smaller size to see if this will alleviate my issue.

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      You might try adjusting the ear loops. Make the top of the ear loop slightly shorter so it will be tighter on your nose and slightly looser on the chin area. This makes a huge difference as the masks don’t always ship with the adjusters positioned correctly for each person. I hope that helps.

  53. Linda D (verified owner)

    Just received my second order because these are the best masks out of all the others out there. Well made, and I feel that because the seems to be thicker, and after reading how they are made, they are good protection.
    My family wears glasses and the fogging problem is gone with these masks.
    I also figured out how to put the adjustable beads that come on the mask back on………loop a piece of yarn through the ear piece, thread the 2 pieces of yarn through the bead, squeeze the bead as you pull it up over the earpiece of the mask. Anyway, Starks you rocked these masks. Thank you.

  54. Ande (verified owner)

    Stark’s masks are the best I’ve seen. The nose flap doesn’t work completely for me, but I have a small face and a very narrow nose. Also, I have wire-rimmed glasses that sit very high on my nose, so the placement isn’t quite right to really have that work the way it’s supposed to, but the masks are extremely comfortable, well-made, easily washable, and quite durable. I’ll definitely order more if and when my current stock of Stark’s masks wear out.

  55. Neda West (verified owner)

    The Stark’s masks are my favorite masks. They are very comfortable and wash well (holding their original shape and size). They are the only masks I can wear with my glasses without having my glasses fog up. I think these masks are a great product and are reasonably priced (and Starks provides good sale opportunities as well).

  56. Joseph D Lanouette

    My wife loves their masks. Enough said. 🙂

  57. Matt (verified owner)

    Very upset with the order I placed. The blue masks I ordered are a light Carolina blue as opposed to the royal blue shown in the picture. I did the buy 4 get 1 free mask and received a pink mask when all the other masks I ordered were blue. I now have five masks I won’t use and Starks refuses to allow me to exchange them. I understand they can’t be used by anyone else but if I am willing to pay to ship them back to get something I would wear, I would have hoped they would have taken me up on that offer. I’ll be going elsewhere now.

  58. Matt (verified owner)

    Great mask, fits very well!!!

  59. Bonnie Peterman (verified owner)

    I don’t remember how I found these, but I’m so glad I did. I love that they’re triple layer and that they have the nose flap and adjustable ear loops. When we got our first order and my son wore them to work he said everyone was asking where he got them. Thank you so much for the great mask.

  60. Starr Love (verified owner)

    As a glasses-wearer, it is notoriously difficult to find a mask that fits, is safe, and allows me to see while I exhale. This is the only ,ask I’ve seen with the simple idea of a cloth nose flap that goes under your glasses to prevent fogging!
    I am very active at work, so I spent 5 minutes custom-fitting the chin area with a simple stitch and I use double-sided apparel tape to lock the nose flap down (plastic frames tend to slide on my nose and eventually push the fabric down). The adjusters on the ears is exactly the upgrade this mask needed!
    So here I am, buying more because now my boyfriend wants some, and I’ve sold at least 2 of my co-workers on these! Thank you, Stark’s, from glasses-wearers everywhere! <3

  61. Mary Zabik (verified owner)

    This is best mask I have tried. I work 10+ hour shifts in an Amazon warehouse. This is the ONLY mask I will wear because it allows me to breath freely, it’s super comfortable, and my contacts won’t dry out. I’m so glad I bought some!

  62. Linda (verified owner)

    I’ve tried MANY masks to keep my glasses from fogging up, and these are the best at doing that. In fact, I just ordered them for the second time. The extra piece of fabric can be adjusted to keep the fog out. Thank you very much.

  63. Lynn Gardner (verified owner)

    I bought two masks for my daughter & myself because they were supposed to keep glasses from fogging. I’m very disappointed that they don’t do that at all, so I won’t be buying any more. They are, however, very high quality masks – soft, comfortable, and thick enough you have confidence germs could not get through. I just wish they had solid bridges in the nose pieces.

  64. R Flynn Ford (verified owner)

    Really like these masks—very comfortable, they fit well. My only complaint is on the buy 4 get 1 free deal, color choice wasn’t offered and I was sent a pink mask. Guess I can give it away though..,

  65. Dust Bunny (verified owner)

    I love these! I wear glasses and have found it easy to adjust the mask to avoid fogging. These fit me a lot better than masks with nose clips, which do interfere with my glasses. The extra panel over the nose works a lot better for me than masks that are simply curved over the nose.

  66. Chuck (verified owner)

    Well made. Feel safe with three layer construction. Disappointed with claim of not fogging glasses. Suggest adding the internal nose clips offered with some makes. Would then be perfect product.

    Excellent product! Best cloth masks I have found. No fogging up your glasses while wearing this mask due to the nose guard on masks! Bought extra ones for my high school & college aged grandkids!!

    Very comfortable and the nose flap works fairly well for those of us who wear glasses and it does prevent them from fogging up. I do wish the ear loops were more of an elastic material but overall the fit is great!

    I purchased 4 masks for my husband and myself because of people saying it helped with glasses. They were correct. They are so good that we bought more to have them on hand. When we go out, we are asked so many times, “I really love how it comes over your nose. Where did you get the mask?” I proudly say, Starks.!

  74. AMANDA BOARDMAN (verified owner)

    Saw an ad in my SM feed. My husband had been struggling with his glasses fogging over. So I order 2 for him. Success! We immediately order 4 more. I work in retail and have customers asking me were I got my mask. I have shared the link with so many guests and even random people when I am out. Several have come back to thank me once they receive theirs. In fact I just got 4 for my MIL. Thank you. Also, some of the best service and fast delivery too!

  75. Michele Brooks (verified owner)

    I love the feel and construction of these masks. They wash and wear beautifully. I just wish there were more colors/patterns to choose from. They fog but the fog goes away in just a few seconds which is great for someone who wears glasses full time. Think getting out of your warm car and out into the cold your glasses will fog and then the fog retreats it is the same with these masks once the air level settles there is ZERO fogging!!!

  78. Steven Mc (verified owner)

    I rate these mask a high five, best mask by far my family has ever had. The problem I had with my most previous order is that I had received the email stating the product had shipped on November 30. No updates through the tracking with USPS. A week later I contacted the support team as to why no up dates and no delivery after a week had passed, after looking into my order the contact told me that some how my order was in pre-order status. Never really was given an answer as why they were in this status or as to when they would be shipped or delivered. Not happy with communication and updates on orders.

  79. Joan Fabbri (verified owner)

    I love these masks. They are very comfortable and you can breathe easily with them on yet feel protected. My only issue is that I bought them on one of their specials and was supposed to receive 2 free masks with my order. Only 1 free one came. I have contacted them twice without a resolution to the problem. Still hoping that they will do the right thing and send me the 1 free one that they omitted from the original order.

  80. Troy Glover (verified owner)

    I ordered mine right after the COVID-19 pandemic started. I am very pleased and feel safe with my masks. I hand wash them in sink with antibacterial dish soap and hang on towel rod to dry.

    I just got my order today. WOW, what a difference these masks make.

    I’ve tried a number of different masks from disposables to silk and by far, these are THE BEST!

    1) the mask fabric is soft, comfortable, and lightweight
    2) the mask is breathable and doesn’t suck into your mouth when you breathe or talk
    3) the mask allows you to be heard when you speak
    4) the nosepiece helps reduce fogging on your glasses

    THANK YOU!

    I’ve already recommended this mask to friends!

  90. Richard Hussong (verified owner)

    I’ve bought two Stark’s masks so far, and they work great, except that they aren’t very effective in preventing eyeglass fogging. I found a simple improvement that helps a lot: just cover the nose flap with ordinary Scotch tape to prevent air from passing through. Tape is cheap, so just remove and discard the tape before washing the mask.

  91. Aaron (verified owner)

    Love the construction and fabric, very comfortable and cooler than cotton masks. My one star demotion is the adjustable straps are inconsistent. I have a large but not huge face and on three of four large masks I ordered I just had to remove the adjusters as the ear loops were just too small. Strangely one of the four (dark green) has larger and more stretchy ear loops which allow adjustment…go figure.

  92. Charles LeMaire (verified owner)

    these masks work as advertised, are comfortable, fit my big face and keep my glasses from fogging, so I bought some adjustable ones also… now I have enough masks to work two weeks … gave a couple to my coworkers and they liked them also. Plus , I bought from Starks cause I did some research into the history of the business, and they been around for awhile… thought it was great they switched to making masks to help out everyone protect themselves.. smart..

    The flap really does keep glasses from fogging. I was skeptical at first, but it really works. (And that flap also helps keep out droplets.) I like that there’s a filter inside. Aside from feeling it’s an effective mask, I also think it’s a comfortable mask. It stays in place, and the ear loops are adjustable. I look forward to when we won’t need to wear these, but in the meantime, I am grateful for Stark’s masks. This is my second order. I am giving some to my mother and a friend.

    My 6yr old daughter’s favorite masks. She wears glasses and has a hard time finding the right size mask that also helps with fogging. If you machine wash they do snag easily, even in a laundry bag. Hand washing is definitely better.

  110. Anette (verified owner)

    I took a chance on Starks when I was searching for good masks that would not fog up my glasses. The quality is excellent—the masks fit great, comfortable and have been washed dozens of time and still fit great. I took advantage of a recent offer so bought some new ones too!

  111. Rich (verified owner)

    During this period, I’ve bought a LOT of different masks for my kids and myself. The masks offered by Stark’s are by far the most comfortable, best fitting and highest quality product I’ve come across so far. I’ve made 2 orders simply due to the fact that I like them so much that I’m taking others out of the rotation to cycle in the Stark’s masks.

  112. Dianne Scott (verified owner)

    third order, best masks I’ve tried, have referred to family members. comfortable and antifog flap works.

  113. Shane

    This mask is great. It stays in place, the nose flap keeps my glasses from steaming up, and it’s more comfortable than any other mask I’ve tried. I had to adjust the straps as far as they’ll go to make it fit comfortably, but that’s my own fault for having a massive head.

      You can also remove the adjusting beading for maximum size.

  114. Barb McMahon (verified owner)

    My husband and I both liked our first order of Starck’s masks. I like this second order even more, not only the new colors but also that the new ones can be tightened! The first ones fit my husband just fine but were a little lose on me. Thanks for making nice safe masks!

  115. Ashley (verified owner)

    Just got my masks, I’m glad I took a chance and went with the smaller size because they fit great and snug but not too tight around my face. The small may even work for my husband! I’m pleased with the quality, the mask is thick but not stuffy and I think I could workout wearing it. The ear loops are adjustable which is great and very comfortable. I have other masks that pull at my ears and hurt. I wear glasses sometimes so I’m excited to see how the nose piece helps decrease fogging. These are affordable and great quality, you have to try them out!

  116. Catherine (verified owner)

    Stark’s masks are the best! This is my second time ordering. They’re comfortable, I can talk and breath with them on. This time I got 4 and 1 free. Again they’re the best!

  117. Meta (verified owner)

    Love the colors and the feel against my face.

  118. Duane K (verified owner)

    I have several other masks but Stark’s mask breathes the easiest, very comfortable to wear and easy to clean!

  119. Bob Butler (verified owner)

    Hands down the best mask I have found for those of us who wear glasses in terms of both anti-fogging and comfort.

  120. Georgia Benson (verified owner)

    Love these masks!!! Just placed my second order and waiting for delivery. Only mask I’ve tried that keeps my glasses from fogging. The nose flap is genius, the fabric is soft, washes and dries with no shrinkage and is easy to breath thru. You simply can’t buy a better mask and I highly recommend them. Thank you, Stark’s!

  121. Gretchen (verified owner)

    Like the multiple layers, the nose guard and the adjustable straps are the best.

  122. Matthew Muniz (verified owner)

    These are very comfortable masks. Great for people with large round faces and protruding nose types. Really the only mask you will ever need.

  123. T Martinez (verified owner)

    Love these masks!!

  124. Tina Marie (verified owner)

    I love the stars mask, this is my second order. Best mask for me.

  125. SteveC (verified owner)

    I have tried various other masks that promised comfort and no fogging of glasses, but Stark’s is the only one that delivers on the promises! The original mask with fixed ear loops was a tight fit for my face, so I had high hopes for the adjustable version. Unfortunately, they seem to be only a tiny bit larger than the fixed-size loops. Still a snug fit, but a small improvement. With bigger loops, I’d give a 5-star rating.

  126. Kathleen Grimmer (verified owner)

    Best masks I have used so far. Very comfortable!

  127. Valerie McCarthey-Smith (verified owner)

    Best mask I have ever worn! I like the layering, the fabric and the design. Thanks, Stark’s, for a perfect pandemic pivot!

  128. Dave Williams (verified owner)

    Fits Well and is Comfortable. Color choice is a bonus. Appreciate the extra attention to the nose “flap”. Lightweight and stays in place.

  129. SUSAN LUCAS (verified owner)

    The best mask you can buy !!!!!

  130. Cindi Brownlee (verified owner)

    2nd time ordering. Love this product. I order the small because it fits my face better.

  131. Jim Nagle (verified owner)

    Best masks I have seen, 2nd time ordering, only mask I wear, and I wear them for everything.

  132. Jim Nagle (verified owner)

    Second order, first with the new adjustable masks. They are simply the best I’ve seen. They are the only kind I wear, whether working out, shopping, or anything else I do away from home.

  133. JenR (verified owner)

    2nd order. Prompt delivery, comfortable, sturdy and washable. Great value!

  134. Pat Mitchell (verified owner)

    I have both the original version and the newer one with the adjusting beads. These are the only masks I use, even though I’ve tried other slightly more expensive masks. The 3-layer construction and nose guard were what first sold me on the Starks masks. The amount of face coverage and the ability to breathe while wearing them are what convinced me that these are the best masks for me.

  135. Ethel (verified owner)

    I love these masks. I’ve ordered more for my family and this time I’m also trying the sprays. I’ve recommended many to these masks. I run a food pantry and wear these outside while dealing with clients and it’s nice not having my glasses fog up all the time!

  136. Karin (verified owner)

    I have mild breathing problems and so many masks I tried made me feel like I was suffocating. These are great! The fit is wonderful, and I’m very happy with them!

  137. Madelyn Lowe (verified owner)

    Like They are great this is my second order. The people are great to deal with.

  138. Vanessa (verified owner)

    Hands down, the BEST masks out there! I wear these all day, every day so I have about 16 of them for back up so I don’t have to do laundry every day. They are heavy and clearly well made, yet still breathable and not overly hot. I work at a college and I’ve even been asked about these masks because my colleagues noticed that my voice isn’t muffled while wearing them. It’s very difficult to teach in some of those other cotton masks that make it so the class can’t hear what you’re saying! I love the 2.0 design with the soft silicone beads for adjusting the size, these fit so great and look amazing too. I recommend them to everyone on campus!

    I love these masks. I have only used the older ones, without the adjuster. But they are classy-looking, well-made, and come with a sewn-in filter. I just ordered the newer ones with the adjuster, but haven’t received them yet. I’m sure they are even better than the older, awesome ones.

  141. Jill (verified owner)

    I really like they way they launder and hold up.

  145. Tara O’Connor (verified owner)

    My daughter and I both love these masks! She is very particular about fit and material and she uses these daily at school for 7 hours. The material is soft and breathable yet substantial. The fabric doesn’t press up uncomfortably against your nose and mouth. The additional fabric below the eyes provides good coverage. The adjustable ear straps are a bonus. My only wish is for a built in adjustable nose piece. We’ve wasted so much money on masks that are too small, too tight, too insubstantial. Wish we’d found Starks first!

  146. Jennifer McMahon (verified owner)

    I have now bought these masks twice. They are the best ones I have. They are breathable, comfortable, do not fog my glasses, and come in so many color choices. They wash and dry well and are my go-to mask. I highly recommend Stark’s masks!

  147. Kathy Webster (verified owner)

    LOVE these face masks. I wear one 8+ hours every day at work. I get asked on a daily basis about this mask, and I have referred so many people to Stark’s website. They are so impressed with the extra nose piece for glasses wearers. Thanks for the great product! So glad I found you on Facebook.

  148. Tom (verified owner)

    Masks arrived quickly. They are very comfortable to wear and fit really nice. Like the little flap to hekp keeping your glasses from fogging. Just received our second order.

  149. Lee Corse (verified owner)

    These are our favorite masks for comfort, breath- ability, and coverage. Several friends have asked about them. Will probably make a third order.

    I love the masks, but I ordered 10 and only received 7.

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      Really sorry for the packing error, please contact support@starks.zendesk.com for assistance with your order.

  151. Shari (verified owner)

    These are among the best masks I’ve purchased for my family. Love the outer surface which is water resistant (yep, I did the drop test and it beaded up) and love that it’s 3 layers, yet still quite breathable. And, the flap for the nose eliminates foggy glasses without having to add an additional adhesive nose bridge, which I’ve had to do with countless number of masks I’ve purchased. They feel very secure and safe for medical appointments. My only regret is not discovering them way sooner into this pandemic, because I did waste money on masks that were either too big (one size fits all, but only if you’re a huge lumberjack) or too lightweight. I also wasted lots of time having to switch out flimsy nose pieces and too-tight ear loops. The Starks masks, however, were just perfect. Oh, and a great price, especially with the buy 4/ get one free.

  152. Ricky (verified owner)

    Love the comfort of these masks. They wash/dry well and I just placed my 2nd order. Highly recommend and as you can see by all the positive reviews, they are the best!

  153. LUIS GARZON (verified owner)

    Well made, reasonably priced masks. Quick shipment.

  154. Mary Ann Lee (verified owner)

    Love these masks, especially since I wear glasses. Not only are they soft and comfortable, but the really protect me without fogging up my glasses.

  155. Mary (verified owner)

    I really do love the masks, but the adjuster broke on one when I tried it on after opening the package. I just tied a knot to adjust it and wore it, but the second time I wore it the face mask broke away from the ties. I do not know if I can sew it back together. I’ve gotten lots of compliments, and I have been recommending them, but now I’m a little hesitant.

  156. Linda BW (verified owner)

    I recently received my 2nd purchase of masks I from Stark’s. (4 of the new green masks which is a nice rich color). Wish I had the money I wasted on other masks I bought elsewhere. Stark’s Masks beat them all with their design, quality, comfort and breathability. They wash and dry great, don’t fade and they don’t fall apart. I launder them in a net net bag with chemical free natural laundry soap. Am sticking with Stark’s Masks from now on.

  157. Suzanne Burke (verified owner)

    I’m not sure I can add anything that others haven’t already said. I ordered my first two Starks masks early on in the pandemic and they took a while to reach me (I am on the opposite coast so with the lock down, that was expected). Iwear glasses and have collected various styles of masks over the last 6+ months. The other masks aren’t as comfortable and don’t keep my glasses from fogging up. While not perfect, Starks has been the best at reducing foggy glasses AND they’re comfortable too. I’m a dogwalker, in and out of my clients’ home (& I wear my mask inside their homes), and with the cold weather on its way, I just ordered three more masks this week and, according to the tracking info, they should arrive tomorrow. Thanks Starks!!

  158. Marilyn (verified owner)

    Great for anyone who wears glasses. I can even put my sunglasses over my glasses with no fog. Wash/dry wonderfully. Do not loose shape and does not shrink. I am waiting on my second order. I have other masks but these are the only ones I wear!!

  159. Margaret Bailey

    They have wonderful masks! Love them!

  160. Stephen Jones (verified owner)

    Stark’s masks are comfortable, easy to breath through and well made. I appreciate this because I work in a prison where I have to wear a mask throughout my 12-hour shift. I wash them in the washer with my clothes and let them air dry. They do help with preventing fogging on my glasses by about 60% of the time. It works best when I pull the upper flap up as much as possible and have the mask with a snug fit on my face. There are plenty of times when my glasses will fog when wearing the mask, it’s just much less often when wearing the Stark’s mask. I started with the purchase of two black masks and came back to purchase four more black masks and take advantage of the buy four and get one free. To my disappointment, the “free” mask was not black, rather it was some sort of blue-green color that I don’t particularly like and can’t wear to work due to uniform restrictions. If I’m paying for four black masks, I think Stark’s could at least have provided the “free” mask in the same color.

  161. Debbi Grassia (verified owner)

    After buying several other brands, I finally ordered my Starks mask! They are very well made, comfortable, soft. BUT the most important thing is that my glasses don’t fog up because of that extra flap and I can actually put my head down and my glasses don’t slid off! GENIUS! Now the only masks we buy are Starks! Great customer service as well!

  162. Erika Rodriguez (verified owner)

    This is my 2nd purchase love the product always asked where did I purchase it. I just wish they would last more than 30 washes.

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      Our masks last much longer then 30 washes. Water resistance will be reduced over time but they are still very effective masks.

  163. marie galica (verified owner)

    Much better than the cloth masks we were using, does not stick to your face.

  164. Rich Rehak (verified owner)

    Your masks are, hands down, excellent. Thanks to everyone.

  165. Anthony T (verified owner)

    I love the over the nose flap. That helps with anti fogging of my eyeglasses, and actually keeps the mask from sliding down. I like them so much I bought another few sets for my wife and and daughters.

  166. Bob Schuler (verified owner)

    The mask’s Stark’s sells are excellent!! I ordered and received my second masks. I, as others have noted, really like the mask’s top flap that keeps my glasses from fogging.

  167. Susan Layman (verified owner)

    We’ve ordered these masks twice now. They are super comfortable, fit well, and wash up nicely. The multiple layers do not make it more difficult to breathe. I particularly like the sub-micron filter layer. My daughter goes to school onsite 3 hours per day and must wear a mask the entire time. This is by far the most comfortable and her favorite. The blue matches her school colors, and the black is very neutral. The pink is also pretty. Highly recommend.

  168. Maureen (verified owner)

    I just got my second order delivered this afternoon. This time I ordered the small lilac for the 10 year old. They fit perfect. I bought 8 for myself last summer. and I love mine. A teacher conworker gave each of us one of those silicone face bridges that helps with speaking clearer and helping with breathing comfort for all day teaching. It slips right under that fold in back – perfect combination for teaching. I have recommended Stark’s to many teachers asking for suggestions. These wash really nicely

  169. Bri H. (verified owner)

    Great masks!

  170. Marie Allen-Furton (verified owner)

    Very comfortable. Easy to breath with these on. The nose piece does an excellent job of preventing your glasses from fogging up.

  171. Ali (verified owner)

    I love this mask. It is so comfortable I actually forget to take it off sometimes. I feel very safe in it. It fits very tight and hugs the contours of my face and nose. I am a petite female and got the small. The small also fits my 3 year old perfectly. My husband had trouble finding a comfortable mask. They all pulled on his ears. The regular fits perfect on him. I also feel confident in the materials used. Customer service has been amazing and I have already reordered. They do have a slight smell when you first get them. This goes away after the first couple of washes. They also air dry quickly after washing.

  172. Pat (verified owner)

    I love these masks. The adult masks are the best I’ve seen so far. Thank you for offering children’s masks too. I have a 5 year old and she’s petite so masks for her are usually too big. But Stark’s masks fit her great because of the ability to adjust the size to fit her face. I ordered twice from Stark’s and plan to order again if needed. Thank you!

  173. Andrew (verified owner)

    great quality, last for many washes, and really cuts down on glasses fogging!

  174. Tammi Smith (verified owner)

    We love Starks face masks. We have referred them to several friends who also love the quality and fit! Have ordered 2 times now and very pleased with timeliness and quality! They don’t fog up glasses either!

  175. Emily (verified owner)

    Everyone in my family loves these masks. They are very comfortable and easy to wear. And the adjustable straps are so great. It is no small feat to have a mask that is adjustable to fit a grown man with a rather large head, an adult woman, and a 9 year-old girl. Awesome!

  176. Stephanie (verified owner)

    Wore these masks on a cross-country flight and was comfortable for the 11 hour trip both ways. Great quality and breathable. Just placed my second order.

  177. Tina (verified owner)

    I think we have ordered 4 or 5 times now. I just about have enough masks to assign each person their own color. The anti-fog flap is not perfect (I still occasionally have issues but have found that adding a memory foam nose piece from Amazon solves my issue) but it works great for 3 out of 4 of us that wear glasses.
    The masks are worn daily at our house from 8+ hours to just a couple hours depending on the person and the need. I highly recommend them.

  178. Sue (verified owner)

    Nice and comfortable, easily adjusted, just ordered more! Highly recommend!

  179. Mary (verified owner)

    Great masks! Comfortable, fit well, and quality construction. Have ordered twice, and will be ordering again.

  180. Marian McDonald (verified owner)

    My favorite mask – I just ordered 5 more. I do wear glasses and I like the nose fold – no metal wire and easy to keep glasses from fogging. Most COMFORTABLE mask I own – does not fit so close I feel smothered and still close enough. And I REALLY appreciate the wide choice of color – color is very important to me. I moved the beads to the bottom of the ear loops so they don’t press on my ears.

  181. Nancy L (verified owner)

    Great quality! Soft and comfortable to wear all day! I just ordered more!!!

  182. Jim (verified owner)

    High quality. Prompt delivery. Highly recommend. Bought two initially to see how they were. Just ordered another 5. 🙂

  183. Nancy (verified owner)

    The very best mask! I have several others, purchased and handmade, but none are as comfortable or well fitted as my Stark Mask. They stay in place, even when you are speaking; don’t slip below the nose or pull up from the chin. They fit both me and my husband really well!

  184. Linda (verified owner)

    I have tried many masks and these are the very best. The nose flap means they fit close to my face without blocking my eyes, and with the adjustable ear loops they fit my face without gaping. I could not be more pleased with them.

  185. Ellen L (verified owner)

    Just placed our second order as these are definitely the best masks I have found. I have recommended them to many glass wearing friends all of whom had the same problem I did, glasses that fog up. These masks are perfect for solving that problem. They are very comfortable and wash well.

  186. Sally (verified owner)

    Is everything advertised. Love it doesn’t fog up my glasses and has the filter. It also doesn’t make me feel like I’m smothering. Not crazy about the beads otherwise I highly recommend.

  187. Kathy

    I really appreciate these masks. I have bought several and they fit well and allow me to breathe without difficulty while doing errands.

  188. Nancy (verified owner)

    After reading all the positive reviews, I purchased these masks. Excellent decision. Comfortable and they don’t fog up glasses. I gave 1 to my 90 year old mom since she needed a good quality mask. She loves it. Already placed my 2nd order for more family members.

  189. Ted Scheuermann (verified owner)

    Very good quality. We social distance at all times, so don’t know how well protected we would be indoors closer than six feet. Also concerned about air quality indoors. But we like them a lot, that’s why I reordered five more. Seems like we will be using masks for a while, even after the vaccine arrives.

  190. Jules Sowder (verified owner)

    Well designed, cool and comfortable

  191. Kimberly (verified owner)

    Best masks I have purchased! Just placed my second order. They are well made, comfortable and great for those who wear glasses to avoid fogging of your lenses.

  192. Melissa (verified owner)

    I got these for my son for school. Mainly due to the anti-fog nose piece for glasses. The waterproof was also a plus. I gave this five stars not only because it did what it promised, but it exceeded our expectations with comfort, sustainability, and anti-fog. My son will only wear these to school. You will not go wrong with this well made product.

  193. Mary (verified owner)

    I am very satisfied with the mask. They are comfortable!

  194. Cheryl Shoen (verified owner)

    Just placed my second order, these masks are great, my glasses don’t fog up, they are comfortable to wear and they stayed true to size when I wash them. Also recommended them to my Dad and he loves his as well!

  195. Camille Kanofsky (verified owner)

    I like the fit. I like the moisture wicking layer. It washes really well. The piece that goes under the glasses is great for preventing the glasses from fogging up. It’s great for my son who is able to attend school. We have already made our second order.

  196. Joyce K (verified owner)

    After trying a number of different masks in the last six months, Stark’s masks are my favorite! I rate Stark’s masks an overall 37 (out of 40) using the rating system found in the WSJ’s 08/29/20 “Mask Olympics”…fit=10, material=10, breathability=10, style=7. They can be worn comfortably yet snugly all day thanks to the adjustable ear loops and used during my exercise workouts. They are a recommended 3-ply, an added bonus, and are reasonably priced.

  197. Patsy Brooks (verified owner)

    Love them. Just wish there would be a little smaller adult size. They are a little big on me. I have now ordered some kids sizes to see how they work. Most comfortable mask around. My husband has to wear them daily and he loves them.

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      The small size might be perfect then, they are for adults as well.

  198. Joanne K (verified owner)

    A co-worker recommended these, so I gave them a try. They are great! Ordered a second batch so I can keep extras in the office and in the car. Comfortable, not as hot as others I’ve tried, good quality.

  199. Ann Marie Wood (verified owner)

    My order arrived within days of my order and I was very pleased with the attractive, well made masks and prompt delivery. While adjusting the ear loops, prior to washing or wearing, one of the small adjustment devices split. Can I expect the others to fail when in use? Are defective devices replaced?

  200. Christy H (verified owner)

    I absolutely love these masks. I originally only ordered two thinking I would try them out. They were wonderful. They are soft, fit well and I love the nose guard which keeps my glasses from fogging up all the time. Just order two more.

    These are my favorite masks—they hug my nose without sneaking up into my eyes, and the fit is pretty great & not too hot. They smell a bit funky when you first get them, but a few washes takes care of that.

  205. Lohgan Swaggard (verified owner)

    Hands down the best mask I’ve purchased. I love the way it adjusts behind my ears, the level of protection, I can talk with the mask on and so forth. Definitely worth a try!

  209. Jess (verified owner)

    I originally purchased the mask because I wear glasses and work at a restaurant. I was having a hard time finding one that people could hear me clearly and wouldn’t constantly fog up. The mask itself is fine but the adjuster broke immediately, making the mask useless, because without it the loops are far too big for the mask to snugly fit on my face.

    I’ve ordered many masks and these are by far the best; tHe only ones that don’t fog your glasses. The first time I ordered them back in June, Customer Service was atrocious and it took weeks and weeks to arrive. This time my order was processed the same day and I received it three days later. Very well-made mask.

    I have made two orders of these masks (so that I have 10 altogether). I find them comfortable (meaning, I can breathe and they do not cut into my face and they work well with glasses). I am also reassured by the inner filter layer and that they fit close on the sides of the face. Thanks for a great product.

  213. Rey (verified owner)

    Great mask. Just made a second order. Best for my job as a city bus driver. Comfortable, breathable and doesn’t fog up my driving glasses. Great job Stark’s. Will purchase again and recommend to others.

  214. Reva Greenspan (verified owner)

    these masks are great especially the nose guard. I would like to know if you could adjust it slightly with 2 elastic bands to avoid pulling off my hearing aids with the elastic around the ears. The ear savers do not work as it pulls the mask either up or down and then it does not fit the face. I need at least 4 or more of these. Thank you

  215. Betsy Crook (verified owner)

    So great for my 7 year old son who wears glasses! He wears the mask all day and no issue with glasses fogging up, that extra fabric for nose is great!

  216. Lynda Holmes (verified owner)

    I am sure the orders for masks have picked up in my area! I have had so many people ask where I got mine from. Many have been hospital and doctor’s office personnel. These masks are the only I have found that do not fog up my glasses, and can be worn comfortably all day long. Spread the news, and thank you Starks!!

  217. John LaPenna

    These are by far the best masks that I have worn. They’re soft, snug-fitting but not tight, and comfortable as hell. I would recommend these masks to everyone.

    I have worn these masks for a couple months and find them as comfortable as a mask can be and wearing glasses these don’t fog my glasses up. I wear them 8 hours a day. I ordered 4 more for my husband and they are already shipped. Thanks Starks for shipping much faster than a couple months ago. I am asked daily where I got my mask. I figure I’ve sent lots of business your way.

  221. Nichele Ledbetter (verified owner)

    My friend wanted to try these masks. So I made an order. They arrived in only a couple of days!!! These are by far the most comfortable masks I’ve found. After receiving my first order and trying them out I immediately made another order. I would recommend these masks to all!!!!

  222. Glenda Fleming (verified owner)

    I’ve been wearing these about two months now. The first thing I noticed is that the mask is actually large enough to easily cover my nose and cup under my chin. The “nose guard” is large enough that the nose pieces on my glasses hold it in place. I like the adjustable ear loops; they allow me to adjust the tension where I need to — for me, looser across the cheekbones, tighter around the chin. They’ve also held up well to washing.

    I also have a lot of confidence in the mask fabric. I live on the west coast, and where I live, we had smoky and ashy air for two weeks. (Air quality was over 800 several days.) With this mask, I was able to do light chores like watering the garden for an hour or so — with no smoky smell whatsoever coming through the mask. (However, I’m not making any claim about what size particles the mask stopped, or that it’s appropriate to wear in smoky environments. I should have stayed indoors. But I thought I couldn’t, and this mask seemed to help.)

    Went through a lot of masks. For my work I sometime take part in 2h long meetings and talk a lot, sometimes move a lot setting up equipment (I’m produce video and photography) which is a sweaty affair in North East in August. I think the combination of materials is very good – easier to breeze than many other masks, the inner layer removes sweat/moisture quite well, the mask functions even if I have to work in the rain and it dries up pretty fast. Between my family, parents, kids I have over a dozen Starks masks. Highly recommend.

  224. Belinda Sierra (verified owner)

    Love these masks. I wear them everyday. I was wondering if you would possibly consider having a dark blue/navy mask added to you collection? I want to order more colors and need that color for my “wardrobe”. Thank you for the awesome masks though. They are great and help keep the fogging of my glasses to a minimum.

  225. DandelionDreams (verified owner)

    Quality mask. I can breathe easily and doesn’t fog my glasses.

  226. Martha M (verified owner)

    Makes a great teacher gift! Our daughter’s hard-working teacher was admiring how our daughter didn’t have trouble with glasses fogging and so we got her some too.

  227. Nancy S (verified owner)

    Love my mask especially since my glasses have minimal fogging,, unlike other masks! Just ordered 4 more for my husband and myself. Also pleased with the quick filling of order and receipt of it. Recommend Starks.

  228. Sheelagh B

    Received mine today. The are perfect. Works well with my glasses. I got a size small because I’m very thin and it fits perfect. Thank you

  229. Ruth Bulwinkle (verified owner)

    My masks are well made and have the technology to prevent transmission. However, the nose part does nothing to prevent my glasses fogging up. I have cut open some used single-use type masks, removed the metal nose guard pieces, and will be gluing those on, or sewing those in, to the ones I got from Starks.

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      Some customers have purchased the metal pieces from Amazon with adhesive on one side. They are under $10 for 100 of them. We don’t include them standard because they aren’t as comfortable with the wire and the current solution work for most everyone. Hope that helps!

  230. Winona (verified owner)

    These masks are great. I have purchased 2 sets for me and a set for my kid. Very comfortable and I like the nose covering. The covering doesn’t prevent all fogging of glasses, but it helps minimize.

  231. Martha M (verified owner)

    Terrific masks, comfortable, anti-fogging. Any chance you could add an extra large size mask? The adult regular is just a bit small (from nose to chin) for my husband.

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      We may bring in an XL in black for those that need it.

  232. DEBRA KAMINSKI (verified owner)

    After trying several types of masks,I finally found the best. Starks masks are thick to provide protection, comfortable, easy to talk in without sounding muffled and they do not ride up while talking. Also easy to hand wash and dry. The price is great and they are made in the USA.

  233. Teresa Hill (verified owner)

    These masks are all they were advertised to be and more. They fit my face very well and are so comfortable. They are also very well made. I feel safer wearing these vs. others I’ve tried. Thank you, Stark’s staff, for providing such a great product!

  234. Tammy Lea Siddell-Coleman (verified owner)

    I was looking for masks that filtered without the filter insert & was washable. Love the masks. They provide nose coverage without the rigidity of a metal strip & the are comfortable. Really good quality, they are shipping really fast now (I got my last order within a day or so, I’m in Georgia). Love these and most importantly, I’m safer and so are those around me.

  235. Anna Liss (verified owner)

    very well fit yet comfortable

  236. Cory Newhouse (verified owner)

    Great quality and best I have found to wear with glasses! I just received my second order of these masks. You will not be disappointed!

  237. Jan (verified owner)

    Love my masks ! The nose piece keeps my glasses un fogged, and I appreciate the water proof outer layer~ seems safer.
    Fast shipping, great product.

  238. Cindy (verified owner)

    This is my 2nd order – the first was a disaster. So cudos for fixing your fulfillment and shipping issues and hoping the ability to contact customer service has also improved. And finally for the longer ear loops – much improved!
    The reason I came back. My husband is able to breathe easier using your mask, they don’t fog his glasses and it’s a better fit on his large face.
    Wby I choose your mask in the first place – the vacuum filters. In my homemade mask I place a hepafilter vacuum filter that filters 0.3 micron – not at N95 level but in our need to protect the supply for front line workers it is a great substitute. My husband has difficulty breathing using this type of filtered mask. But yours is easier and it’s washable.
    Thank you for thinking outside the box when creating this.

  239. Gabriel Pope (verified owner)

    Very comfortable to wear for an extended period of time.

  240. Nancy Ryder

    I love, love, love my masks. The quality is excellent, and it fits beautifully. There is actual room to breathe! As stated, the nose piece keeps glasses from fogging my only issue is: I use oxygen and the thickness of the ear pieces plus the O2 cannula makes the mask slip off. But I have ordered straps for around my head to solve that issue. All in all, great product!

  241. Deborah L (verified owner)

    These masks are wonderful. They are extremely comfortable and don’t fog my glasses. The customer service here is awesome, too. Highly recommend the masks.

  242. Janet Cullifer (verified owner)

    Mask stays in place. Doesn’t move when you talk. Never fogs up glasses. Therefore I feel more confident because you dont touck will your hands.

  243. Jan (verified owner)

    Works great for people who wear glasses!! Would be nice to have a way to keep it around your neck when not needed so you could just pull it up when you do need it.

  244. Sara (verified owner)

    Has everything I was looking for: 3 ply, nose guard, adjustable side straps. Small good for my kids. Large good for the adults.

    The upgraded version 2 of the Starks Mask made all the difference! Tightness of the mask is so easy to adjust now, and the masks are comfortable and fit perfectly. Thank you Starks!

  254. Elizabeth (verified owner)

    As a teacher, I have to wear a mask every day to school. These masks are the best—I ordered a second set! They fit comfortably and hold up great after numerous washings.

  255. Teresa (verified owner)

    Excellent masks!! I love how they fit and my glasses do not fog up when I am speaking. I highly recommend Stark’s Masks!!

  256. Ashley Parent (verified owner)

    These are the best fitting and most comfortable masks. Period.

  257. Jessica

    Just found these at my local paper store. After trying dozens of masks for my son we finally found one that will stay up over his nose and won’t pull down on his ears ! I am the school nurse and he needs to be a role model!!! Ordering more now!

  258. Rick Myers (verified owner)

    2nd time we have ordered masks. Love the changes with the adjustable cord. The masks came much faster this time. I think 4 days from order to open.

  259. Steve Corso (verified owner)

    These masks are great. The extra flap at the top stops my glasses from fogging up and the new addition of the adjustable cord locks stops the pulling down on my ears that other masks have caused. They wash up really well and are extremely comfortable. In addition, the speed of order fulfillment was pretty amazing.DEFINITELY the masks to go with.

  260. Teresa C. (verified owner)

    Love these Starks masks. They’re the absolute best. Ordered 2 about a month ago. Just ordered & received 2 more. Excellent quality. Love the new adjustable ear loops. And the nose covering really helps keep my glasses from fogging up. And I haven’t even mentioned how comfy they are. These are perfect for me. I’ll probably order more. Thanks, Starks.

  261. L A Jones (verified owner)

    I found out about Stark’s masks from a family member. I ordered a couple to try them out. These masks are terrific! They are very well made, comfortable, retain their shape after washing & my glasses don’t fog. I liked them so much I ordered four more. I’ve spread the word to others. Thank you Starks’s!

  262. Sharon Parker (verified owner)

    We love these masks! They fit well and are comfortable to wear. Easy to wash! These are the most comfortable masks we have worn. Our friends have notice them too and ordered.

    These masks came fairly quickly.
    I have a whole assortment of masks but I usually grab one of these on my way out. They are so comfortable and I love the nose piece.
    I do wish there was another color I could use other than black or white…maybe a small print or black with mini polka dots?? Or I could just use one of my other masks for those ‘special occasions.’

  271. Traci Haarmann (verified owner)

    Love our masks and so does my daughter (8 years old). We both wear glasses and the nose flap makes a big difference. Question, I have washed my daughters masks (pink/white) a few times and on the 3rd wash, all of the ear loops hardened. It’s like they got crusty and won’t stretch anymore. It didn’t happen the first few times I washed them and didn’t happen to our adult sized masks. What happened? Can I fix it? I don’t want to make the same mistake on her other Stark masks. HELP, she won’t wear any other masks!

  274. Kim H. (verified owner)

    Great masks from what seems to be a great company! The masks are comfortable. The nose piece helps with fogging on glasses. I was concerned at first that they did not have a wire nose piece, but these seem like they’ll withstand washing better.

  275. LeAnn (verified owner)

    Placed my second order last weekend. These are high quality, adjustable and washable.

  276. Edward Matheson (verified owner)

    I like how they are constructed and how well they filter the air. Tested it by blowing out hard through my mouth, but no air escaped out the front of the mask, which tells me it is also excellent at filtering anything incoming as well; however, I can still breath fine with it on as it protects me. I am looking forward to the new ones I just purchased with adjustable straps.

  277. Brenda Carey (verified owner)

    Love these masks, fits well and most importantly your glasses don’t fog up when wearing them. One of the main reasons I ordered a second set of masks. Definitely does what they are advertised to do!!!!!!

    I have had a hard time finding a comfortable face mask that doesn’t fog up my glasses, isn’t too big or too small, and doesn’t go in my mouth when I try to talk or squish my nose. At last I have found a comfortable mask from Starks! I had been holding off ordering because my early experience with filtered masks was not favorable but this is totally different. The mask is still lightweight and I can breath easily while wearing it. It may not be the prettiest mask out there but it is certainly the most comfortable!

  281. Donna (verified owner)

    Great quality mask. 3 layers , breathable and flap prevents glasses from fogging. Just received my 2nd order which had the ear tightners which made it a perfect fit. Best company I have found that make good quality mask!

  282. Alex (verified owner)

    Absolutely outstanding masks, and the kids sizes are fantastic for our 4 year old. She requests her Starks mask over all the others we have tried.

  283. Juliana (verified owner)

    The masks are very comfortable, and breathable. The ear tighteners make a great snug fit, and the anti-fog material at the top help when wearing glasses. I ordered two, and then ordered more colors and for family.

  284. Jill (verified owner)

    Love these masks – double layer of protection, the fabric’s feel and cut, and the nose guard are some of the features that have me preferring these masks. They were recommended to me, a teacher, by a friend who is nurse. Easily washable, and when you wear them, they don’t suck into your mouth when you try to breathe and talk. The only one I can wear all day long teaching.

  285. Cher Jackson (verified owner)

    The Mask are the most comfortable I have tried. My first order was delayed and not complete but the company completed my order. I have ordered more mask.

  286. Mark Burgess (verified owner)

    Excellent masks, especially if you wear glasses. No other mask stops the glasses fog up issue like this one. My original purchase of two masks wasn’t the best experience due to long processing and shipping times. But Starks has increased their workers from 5 to 20 people. I decided to order 4 more masks due to the excellent quality. The masks were processed and shipped very quickly this time. I don’t normally review products, but the quality that Starks has provided on these masks has compelled me to do so. I’m very pleased at their service and communication. I have recommended them to all my glasses wearing friends, and I will be a repeat customer.

  287. Whitehawk Raven

    Very comfortable and sometimes wearing for long periods of time at work. Only shortcoming would be no elastic in ear loops

    Excellent quality. My son feels safe wearing it to school and we do too, some of his professors had complimented him about it and asked him about the nose guard, it really works. My nephew wears it while at the gym, when working out, he said it is very comfortable and my wife enjoys the fact that her glasses don’t fog anymore and now that they are adjustable, we like them even better. I have ordered quite a few.

    I am glad that I found these masks. I live in NJ by NYC where it is very congested and I am a senior with a lot of things that put me at high risk. We still can’t have visitors. I find these masks to be very well made and it’s easier for me to breathe. Plus my glasses don’t fog up.

    I feel like I’ve spent a small fortune on masks since this pandemic began, only to be disappointed…until I received my Stark’s mask! I purchased one for my husband & one for myself to try. The first time I wore my mask, I noticed that my glasses were NOT fogging, I could BREATHE & I didn’t touch my mask ONCE to readjust, pull it out of my mouth and/or to get air to breathe! They are so comfortable, I almost forgot I was wearing a mask! Depending on the climate of the store we were in, it does get warm but not so much that it becomes uncomfortable like so many other masks we’ve tried. My husband loved his & suggested I order a few more for family & to have a backup…which I have done. I will definitely be recommending these masks to family & friends! Thank you Stark’s for a great product!!!!

  298. Aimee LoSeccco (verified owner)

    The best quality masks I have found so far. I work both outdoors and indoors at a large attraction and they are fantastic. For people who wear glasses and need to wear a mask for 8+ hrs a day, this is the mask for you. It sits off your face, has adjustable ear loops that don’t hurt, and the nose guard is a godsend. I just reordered another set and couldn’t be happier.

  299. Margot (verified owner)

  302. Vincent Tozzi (verified owner)

    For quality, fit, durability, protection and service at a fair price – Stark’s is unmatched. The value a company offers its smallest customer is usually a good indication of how they would treat larger sales. I would not hesitate to buy a vacuum from these guys in the future should the need arise.

  307. Kris (verified owner)

    Bought for my daughter (6) who is VERY picky. These are the only ones she will use with the exception of the ones from Target that fall off her face. The Starks’ masks stay on and above her nose and she tolerated them well. The only downside (-1 Star) is that she reports it gets sweaty, so she needs to wear 3 different ones through the schools days. All that being said, these are a very good fit, excellent quality, and she wears them, and that’s the best we’ve found so far. 🙂

  308. Patrick Scott (verified owner)

    I ordered my first masks early in the pandemic. I wear glasses so I wanted something that would help with the fogging issues that most glass-wearing people can relate to. They were perfect. I recently ordered more masks and just received them today. Making them adjustable was a great addition. I love the new colors.

    These masks are so great! Hands down, the best ones I’ve found. They’re super soft, are firm enough to stay away from your mouth, and super breathable. I added a stick-on nose wire to mine, and my glasses haven’t fogged up once. I’ve ordered 6 of these, and they will be all I use.

  314. Beverly Schine (verified owner)

    I purchased 4 a couple of months ago. They are good quality, but don’t find they keep my glasses from fogging up. I gave one to my granddaughter, but it was too big for her. Glad you are doing small ones. I have ordered more including a small one. Like that you are doing adjustable ones too!

  315. Sandra L Foss (verified owner)

    For those of you concerned about WHERE your masks are from, let me reassure you these are from OREGON! I made my initial purchase SOLELY based on the fact that I was raised in Portland and KNEW about the integrity of the products from Stark’s. I bought my fist vacuum there 53 years ago!!! They have STAYED in business because their product and service is beyond reproach. I have bought masks , usually shipping from another country, that are laughable in their attempt. Of course, NOT as funny if YOU are the one wearing the ineffectual mask however. Stark’s masks are made from high quality material and triple layer. VERY comfortable and soft on the skin AND washable!! I have breathing issues, so breathability is a major concern. I have no trouble with these masks and they remain comfortable despite our current high temperatures here in California. I have purchased for myself and my family and I am now awaiting my second order! Customer service is amazing as well. I had a concern about being able to track my first order and received a lovely e-mail response which answered all my questions. The final PLUS for me is I am sure beyond any doubt that Stark’s jumped into this fray of making masks NOT as a profit making decision, but because of a concern for community safety. If THAT doesn’t say this company is special, nothing does.

  316. Pat Camillo (verified owner)

    This is the absolute BEST face mask! !he secret lies in the dart placed in the middle which allows a small space for you to breathe without compromising the mask in any way. The nose guard also limits any fog if you wear glasses. I’m starting a collection! As a nurse practitioner, I enjoy reading Consumer Lab and recently they did a review of face masks but didn’t include Starks. I wrote to them and they were not aware of these masks but hopefully, in the future they’ll be included in their review because they’re the best!!

  317. Charisma Tandy (verified owner)

    I sent a site link and recommendation to my daughter’s teacher after she inquired about the source of the mask she was wearing. The nose guard and ability to adjust strap tightness are the best features. Our glasses still fog up occasionally but it is greatly reduced as compared to other mask styles. We ordered enough to always have a few clean ones to choose from as we walk out the door. They hold scent so wash with a detergent that you can stand smelling all day!

    Excellent product. By far the best mask I have bought. I feel safe sending my son to school wearing this mask as they have a filter and are made from hydrophobic materials. The regular size fits my 13-year-old son and the small fits my 10-year-old daughter. Both say the masks are very comfortable, soft, breathable and fit well. We love that they are adjustable. Two thumbs up!

    This is the first mask that fits my face. Finally! I ordered two and they were too large so I gave one to each of my grandsons and they each wanted an additional one. When I went back for that order, I saw that there is now a way to adjust the mask so I ordered two more for my self. With the little beads, I can adjust to my face and it is a perfect fit – so comfortable. One of the new masks had only one bead so I wrote customer service. They sent additional beads and instructions as to how to put them on. Again – great service – thank you!!

  329. Janiece A. Kasper (verified owner)

    Great quality. The only reason I gave it a 4 star because my right lens in my glasses still fogs some. Over all I do love the material and that it’s much easier to breath and be comfortable.

    Excellent quality! I wore my mask to a hospital and had doctors inquiring where I bought mine. The loved the nose guard for glasses. I gave them your website to order.

    I have tried a million masks and this one is my favorite. It is the perfect combination of protection and breathability. This is the only mask I could wear for an extended amount of time. I will be ordering more.

  333. Jeff Adelman

    Best mask I have purchased. Once my family saw the design, they all wanted them too! You can wear it with glasses and they don’t fog up. It also securely covers your nose with minimal exposure. Terrific design. Highly recommend

  334. Whitney R. (verified owner)

    Ordered several of these masks praying they would be as good as everyone said because I’d had zero luck with the other store-bought and hand-made ones up till this point. These really are the stuff! They are the only ones without a nose wire that still stays up without slipping and the nose guard isn’t fussy or bothersome at all. I don’t wear glasses but I do have severe chronic dry eye, and this mask is the only one that doesn’t make my dry eyes more irritated because the air doesn’t come out around the top of the nose fitting. Not too heavy, looked brand new after washing. Favorite mask by far, and I’ve worked through this entire hot mess these last few months, so I’ve tried a lot! Y’all rock!

  335. Robin Cloud (verified owner)

    Love the mask! My glasses don’t fog up!

  336. KC (verified owner)

    Omgosh,what a delight. I’m 65, wear glasses, and have had a hard time finding a reusable mask that works as well as the KN95. Definitely worth the purchase. I’m ordering more!

    Great masks. I just made a second order.

  338. Stephanie V (verified owner)

    Just got our second order of Stark’s masks! My kids love how soft they are, and that they adjust easily. My husband and I love the coverage, comfort, and adjustability. This most recent order arrived in just a few days — really helpful with our school district going back to in person learning!

    This is the most effective mask I’ve tried. I tested 4 kinds by working in extremely dusty conditions in my garden. This is the only mask that completely filtered out the dust. While it’s not my most comfortable mask, I ordered more because of their effectiveness. My order came very quickly.

  343. Eric Figge (verified owner)

    These masks are the best. We’ve been through so many masks to finally find these. Our complaints were difficult to breathe, fogged glasses and aching ears and these fixed all the issues. Another benefit is the masks don’t touch your face when you talk but you also don’t need the silicone insert some people are having to buy. Simply the best!!!

  344. Mike Hartman (verified owner)

    Good quality and designed masks but too small for my face even though I have a small face. Please make a larger size and I will order more masks. I gave mine to my 7 year old.

  345. Kelly Ponto Watrin (verified owner)

    Easy to wear and to wash. Ordered 3 the first time and re-ordered 3 more so I can rotate more effectively.

  348. MJ (verified owner)

    I have had my mask for about a month now and they are by far the best for eyeglass wearers. They don’t fog up as much as other mask so I ordered more. I am very happy with these mask!

  349. Michelle Segraves (verified owner)

    Love these masks! Very comfortable to wear and adjustable. Nose flap works great, keeps glasses from fogging up. Good quality, hold up great even after a few washings. Just ordered some of the kids masks for my grandchildren.

    We purchased the original masks and they were great but I have a small face. I just bought two adjustable masks and they are perfect. More comfortable, does not move and it fits perfectly. Love my masks…thank you!

  353. Marcia E Catlett (verified owner)

    These are the best masks I have and the ones I wear 95% of the time. Very comfortable and they do not cause my glasses to fog up.

  354. Maey L (verified owner)

    I am very pleased with the smaller adult/children size masks. They fit very well as most adult masks fit right below my eyes. They arrived few days after we ordered them. Please let the staff know how happy we are with the masks and we plan to order more, now we know they will fit me.

  355. Erin (verified owner)

    I am a teacher and I have to wear a mask 8+ hours per day and talk through them. These are the most comfortable masks I’ve been able to find. They do not get damp after hours of talking and they are light on the face. I like the nose bridge because it keeps the mask from sliding off when I talk. They are definitely worth $12!

  356. Barbara Doerner (verified owner)

    Great masks – comfortable and no fog! Also great customer service! Placed my third order today!

  357. Paul Paquette (verified owner)

    Love the masks. Actually ordered a few more. They fit my face perfectly, are very soft and easy to breathe with them on for longer periods. But please add a nose clip. The flap does come up, but not a secure fit without the clip.

  358. Nancy Durr (verified owner)

    I finally found masks that fit great! I love the fabric and the adjustable earloops. It even fits great on my 3 year old daughter. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the loop of 1 of the masks broke when my daughter wore it for the first time. But all the others are great! I contacted customer service but haven’t heard from them yet.

  359. Karen Lance (verified owner)

    I really like the fit of the mask. The nose guard makes the mask stay in place even when you talk, and the addition of the adjusters of the earpieces have made the masks fit very well. I even ordered a second set because I really like the fit. The blue mask is not a royal blue as shown on the site, but it is a pretty color.

  360. Mike Kline (verified owner)

    Best mask out there now that they have the adjustable ear straps. Buy them today, don’t wait.

  361. Kelly (verified owner)

    These are great – they don’t stick to your face when you breathe and fit well. Bonus: They look great right after washing – you don’t have to iron them!

  362. Stephen Beckwith (verified owner)

    Ordered the original (non-adjustable strap) ones very early on. Took a while together them, but this is my “go to” mask (of several different ones I have). The nose guard for glasses is WONDERFUL, this seems to be the “best fit” of the different masks I have. My only complaint is that size wise: it’s bigger than others, but still has issues with talking though the mask (one other mask I can’t talk with it on, it doesn’t cover enough). I have another mask that is bigger that the Stark’s one, and is better for talking. Overall, the quality is good, they wash well. Now that you have colors, time for an “update” 🙂

  363. TERESA BROWN (verified owner)

    The masks made by this company fit well and are comfortable. I love the fact that there are multiple colors to choose from! Good job, Starks!

  366. Vicki Smith (verified owner)

    I have order x2 and am very pleased with the speed and quality of the masks. I work in the medical field teaching and with the nose piece covering I feel confident wearing these masks all day.

  369. Jennifer Recker (verified owner)

    I am in nursing school and doing clinicals in the hospital. The hospital isn’t giving us masks; we are required to bring our own. I also need to wear glasses, and have yet found a mask that prevents fogging. I kept seeing the ads, so after the first clinical, I went ahead and ordered 4 masks. I LOVE THEM!!! I have had no issues with fogging and they fit perfectly. I also feel much more safe using these masks in the hospital than I did in the thin cotton mask I wore the first day. Thank you!!! Happy nursing student!

  370. Ruth M. Barrow (verified owner)

  371. Meg Averett (verified owner)

    Loved my first order but they took a month to get to me. No longer, I took a chance and reordered and they got to me in ONE WEEK! They are the best and the only ones I’ve had that kept my glasses from fogging, are comfortable, and for great. Thank you.

  372. Julie (verified owner)

    This is my 2nd order. These are great masks and help keep my glasses on and not fogged up. Sending some to my family, have given one to a friend and have encouraged others. We are essential health care workers and I really appreciate the design, fit, and feel. The last order I put in shipped out the same day and I got them 3 days later. Awesome! Thanks Starks!!

  373. G. Gill (verified owner)

    Fast customer service, received order within 3 days of ordering and in the right quantity that I ordered. Well made, breathable and filters smoke from the wildfires. Perhaps, the next version can be water resistant or waterproof for the rainy season. Thank Stark for these wonderful masks!

Comfortable, functional and well designed with a good seal to stop glasses from fogging. These masks have my recommendation as does the customer service from Stark which is awesome with masks shipping out the same day ordered!

  377. John Boykin (verified owner)

    We initially purchased 5 masks earlier in the year and were very pleased with them. They cover our faces completely and really do cut down on the eyeglass fogging we experienced with other masks. We just received 5 more masks and are very pleased with the ability to adjust them now. My wife is a teacher and these really make me feel like these help protect her and her students.

  378. Shawn Green (verified owner)

    Great fit, my glasses don’t steam up thanks to the nose flap, and they are breathable. My husband and I each have 4 + 2 extra. I hand wash and let them air dry, especially out in the sun.

  387. H Robertson (verified owner)

    Have ordered twice – and most likely will order more. The size small masks are perfect for myself and my mother. I’m 5’6 and she 5’0, both 115 lbs. The fit is far superior to any other mask we’ve tried. Shipping is quick. Highly recommend.

  388. Lynn (verified owner)

    I have various masks…..some I have made, others I have purchased. This is my favorite. It is very comfortable. The one I have just slip around my ears. They work fine and don’t steam up my glasses. I am excited to find they now have adjustable ear pieces. I consider that another plus for these masks…so I have ordered more!

  389. Marjorie Fein (verified owner)

    I can breath when wearing the masks! They are soft on my face! The new ones have adjusters – just makes them better! Thank you for making me comfortable in the middle of a most uncomfortable time!

  390. Auta (verified owner)

    The best mask I’ve tried, I won’t wear any others. Had bought two and then ended up getting four more and it’s a very reasonable price for such high quality.

  391. Vanessa LaVere (verified owner)

    I ordered 4, got a fifth one free and loved all 5. They fit my husband and me very well. They are easy to clean. The colors are basic for matching with outfits. I ordered 4 more and got another fifth one free. If you have to wear a mask, especially with glasses, these are the best of all I have tried and the only I have recorded.

  392. Jo Linker (verified owner)

    Love your masks but a couple of them are larger then my first three I ordered. You sent me little black rubber circles to put on the ear loops but need to know if there is a secret to getting them on?

  411. Sam W (verified owner)

    I have now had to wear lots of different masks throughout this “pandemic”. Some way more expensive and way less comfortable. Stark masks are the most comfortable, and are priced fairly. Great product. I have ordered another round of them so we can keep them in heavy rotation here with our family.

  412. Shelley (verified owner)

    Great fitting mask that works well with glasses. I teach school and have to wear a mask all day. The Stark mask is the only mask I can stand to wear while teaching, so I need to order more. I have been taking up the straps a tiny bit on the original mask. Which new size is closest to the original?

  413. Mike Creamer (verified owner)

    I am a high school teacher. I’m wearing a mask all day long while I teach. Hands down, Stark’s face masks are the most comfortable. Stark’s masks prevent my glasses from fogging up far more efficiently than other masks I own. I recommend Stark’s masks without reservation.

  414. Evelyn (verified owner)

    I have a teen with autism and ADHD. He had to wear a mask to attend summer school. We tried several and the Starks masks were the ones he preferred. I ordered more as he will be returning to school in the fall and masks will be required. Thanks for a comfortable mask he doesn’t mind wearing.

  415. Paula Henderson (verified owner)

    Well made, very comfortable. it stays on my nose without feeling like I need to adjust it. My glasses don’t fog up, either. I ordered two for my husband and I to try out and quickly ordered four more since it looks like we’ll be wearing masks for awhile. They wash great in my washing machine and I hang them to dry.

  416. Ann Conatser (verified owner)

    Completely satisfied. Ordering was easy. Delivery was easy. Ljked the fact that they’re made here in Oregon!
    Ordered last Spring and just placed second order for more with COVID dragging on. Love that you’ve added adjuster to straps. Thank you!

  417. Margaret Pluta (verified owner)

    I absolutely love these masks. I wear glasses and find most masks will fog my glasses. I have purchased Fog Gone, but I still needed something more to stop the fogging. These masks does the trick. I will be purchasing more. They are pretty colors, and fit pretty good. Some masks seem to be slightly larger but I washed & dried them in a dryer. They seem to have shrunk which I am hoping will fit better. Great quality at a fantastic price. Thanks Starks!! Shipping them to me on the Eastcoast I was surprised to see how pretty quickly they arrived. 1 week, and I am very happy.

  418. C H Messier (verified owner)

    The contour is a natural fit for my face. The best part for me is the little pocket for my chin. I haven’t seen any other company incorporate that into their design. They are very breathable, wash very easily without loosing shape; and they are made in the USA!!!

    Best mask I have worn! Very great quality, great fit and so very comfortable, especially for all day use while at work. My glasses don’t fog, I can breathe and people can hear me very clearly. I have ordered more for my parents and I am also recommending them to my co-worker. THANK YOU!!

    I’ve both made and purchased many different masks over the past few months, and none of them compare to the Starks mask. This mask is super comfortable, covers everything, and it doesn’t close in on your mouth. My 6-year-old has autism and is comfortable wearing this mask for hours. Highly recommend!

  429. Tom Mauser (verified owner)

    Very good mask. Have been looking for one that’s adjustable and prevents fogging on my glasses. This one does a good job with the fogging–but you have to pull that extra piece of cloth up onto your nose to make it work. The little extra step is worth it. Second set I ordered came really quickly.

  430. Eileen MacKrell (verified owner)

    Outstanding masks. I like the new smaller size and adjustable straps, both of which work well for me; I’m also impressed that Starks was able to improve their products so rapidly based on feedback. Way to go Starks! The masks are comfortable, they’re easily washed, the anti-fogging nosepiece is effective, and they even come in several colors. Best masks available right now.

  431. Kevin McCarthy (verified owner)

    It’s is the first mask that fits both my 7 year old and glasses wearing 12 year old. They both think it’s comfortable and lightweight and breathable. Great quality mask!

  432. Georgette Cole (verified owner)

    These are so comfortable and functional. The .3 micron filter is reassuring; but it’s still easy to breathe normally and not collapsing on my mouth when I talk. I use the nose guard always, it feels more secure. The ear strap adjusters are perfect for making the mask fit both me (small) and my husband (large). I ordered 4 masks and the free extra mask they sent was the nice light grey which either my husband or I can use. Great choice Stark! The order took 2 day to process and 4 days with the USPS so I got it only 6 days from placing the order. I am very happy with both the masks and the Stark company!

    We have tried a bunch of different masks and these are the favorite of everyone in the family. I just ordered more for each of us. They are very comfortable and really do prevent glasses from fogging. Our first order was a bit delayed but the second one shipped within a day or two. I initially debated what size to order…I am a small female but I was worried the small would be too small. The regular size fits well, although I usually put a safety pin in the material under my chin (but I do that with every mask). I love the three layers. Great masks!

    The masks are great! The nose piece needs the adjustable clip inside for those who don’t wear glasses. This will give a good seal. Thanks for considering the change.

  450. Susan Neul

    Best mask of all I’ve tried even the ones I’ve sewn myself and I am a perfectionist. I bought one for every day of the week so I make sure they get washed after each use. Washing machine works fine but sink washing is also good and they dry overnight. I wear glasses and am thrilled that these don’t fog up my glasses. But best feature is the fit. Very snug, which means great protection, but also super comfortable and breathable. Well done Stark.

    These are the most comfortable, safest, best-designed and highest-quality masks I have tried so far. Great job.

  457. Marjorie Nix (verified owner)

    The masks are very comfortable and wash well. They fit far enough from your nose and mouth to allow you to breath and talk comfortably. The extra piece of fabric near the top of the mask fits well around the nose. Will probably order for family members.

  458. Barbara Parker (verified owner)

    I like these masks more than any other I have purchased to date. They have great coverage and fit well. The best part is the nose guard that lessens the amount of fogging by my eyeglasses. I would like to see another mask made that allows me to add an additional filter if I want to for more high-risk areas. I would also like to be able to get some of those adjustment beads on your newer masks to use on my older masks that are not adjustable.

    Finally! I have been looking for a mask that doesn’t constantly fog up my glasses and here it is!! I ordered 2. A slight difference in size but correctable with the cord locks. Fits comfortably, snugly under the chin. I’m going to order more! Thanks so much!!

  460. Denise Bond (verified owner)

    Best masks we have bought! Comfortable and glasses do not fog. THANK YOU!

    Comfortable. Cords help adjust mask to face. Helps with fogging classes

  462. Daniel (verified owner)

    Absolutely love this face mask. I bought 2 black ones a couple months ago and they have been amazing. They fit snugly but comfortably. They can get hot but the interior fabric material is good at absorbing the sweat so your face doesn’t stay wet. Unfortunately misplaced one of them a couple weeks ago so I only have 1 left, but I am considering getting 2 more in white. This is the mask I recommend to friends who have had trouble finding one they like.

  463. Lyn (verified owner)

    Love these masks! After sewing many masks for family, friends and self for months, I’m now switching to these masks because they’re so much more comfortable, don’t fog glasses, and I can breathe comfortably with them. Thankyou, Stark’s

  464. Lisa (verified owner)

    Fits well and I particularly like the nose piece that does cut down on my glasses fogging. Seems to have a good tight weave, but breathable.

  465. Haley M (verified owner)

    I was skeptical but ordered some because I wear glasses and saw some promising reviews. I just ordered myself more! They’re comfortable. My glasses do fog a little but only if I’m talking a lot at once (I teach). Great product!

  466. Carla Mitchell (verified owner)

    Orderer two and really liked the fit. For a mask, they are snug and comfortable. Ordered two more! Great product, great quality, great service.

  467. Linda Etheridge (verified owner)

    I like the masks in that they are more breathable than others I’ve tried. It is too big for my face even though I’m not small. If I make it tighter, I can’t breathe as well. Looser doesn’t feel as well protected as it leaves gaps. I do get a small amount of fogging on my glasses, and the nose piece hits the bottom of my eyes uncomfortably.

  468. MaryAnn (verified owner)

    These masks are wonderful – the reason why I have now ordered 10 and recommended them to everyone in my office! My face is long and wide and these fit great. My only complaint is that I received a dark grey one instead of a lilac one. Any way I can get a replacement?
    Thanks for designing such a versatile mask.

    Stark’s masks are the best! I’ve had to wear a mask for 8 hours straight, and the Stark’s mask stays dry inside and the nose piece keeps my glasses from fogging up, too.

    My daughter and I have had a hard time finding masks that don’t induce a panic attack. I bought 2 of these to try them out and after my daughter started high school up again, these are the only masks that she can wear all day. It also helps that there is a filter in them so you don’t have to breathe through the extra filter. I have recently been back to buy both my daughters 5 masks each (for each day of school) and a couple for me and my husband. We also all wear glasses but the youngest, so it has been helpful in that way too.

    Correction— keeps glasses from fogging up!

    Very soft and comfortable masks. Fit better than other masks I’ve purchased. The flap that slips over the bridge of the nose and under eyeglasses helps to keep glasses from digging up. Already placed a second order.

    I would give these mask 10 stars! They are the best and believe me, I have bought over 20 different type of mask and made my own. I order one in the beginning for my grandson who is 9 and wears glasses. These to not fog and he says they are so comfortable he forgets he’s is wearing them. I then ordered more of other grandchildren and today ordered another 6 and one is for me! Can’t live with out our STARKS MASK!!

    Found this company and their masks through a Facebook advertisement and I sure am glad I did! Highly recommend these masks – they are the best I have found especially for glasses wearers because of the extra nose piece which helps to stop the fogging. I haven’t personally seen that done anywhere else. I liked my first order so much that I came back and ordered more. I was a bit nervous about ordering from a Facebook ad but there is nothing to worry about here – this company has been great and I definitely recommend them!

  490. Deanna Upchurch (verified owner)

    I have ordered numerous masks from numerous companies and this one is by far the most comfortable as well as being the one I feel the ‘safest’ in!

  497. Tonie

    These are very comfortable. I gave my son 2 for work and he loves them because he can talk and people can understand what he is saying plus they stay up on his nose with the flap. I made a second order for family members. They’re nice.

    Starks are professionals when it comes to filtration which is why I initially ordered masks from them (and to support a local company).

    I just gave a review to my son and his wife this afternoon when we met for a chat – with masks and distancing. I told them how much I enjoyed the Stark mask because, especially, it has the nose flap which makes the mask fit much better for those of us who wear glasses. And it reduces the glasses fogging. It’s snug but not too tight. I can feel at ease talking. I have noticed that when I wear the Stark mask, I am not constantly adjusting it, like other masks. And thanks for now providing masks with the ear strap adjusters. I need that because I have a narrow face and the straps don’t fit that tightly. Plus, they all stretch. I’m thinking of buying a couple for my kids now, because they liked the design.

  512. Sandra Tansil

  515. Michael Brandt (verified owner)

    We really like our Starks masks except for one item. You really need to add an adjustable metal nose clip, to help seal off the gap under one’s eyes, along the nose. Without that feature, a significant portion of your inhaling and exhaling bypasses the mask and enters and exits at this opening, and also fogs safety glasses. Other than that, your masks would be perfect. Nice Fit, Soft Materials, 0.3 micron filter. Please add an adjustable nose clip and they would be perfect.

  516. Glenda Dicks (verified owner)

    I received my mask order yesterday. These masks are very high quality and the are very soft and fit very nicely. I’m sorry that I kept “needling” Starks about my order.

    Starks’ mask is, by far, among the best, I waited a month for my first order and the wait was completely worth it. Now, I see, the wait is just days! 💕 I wear their mask for hours with eyeglasses. Their masks are very comfortable and have three layer protection that does not feel stifling, even in this summer heat.

    These were my first professionally made masks and I was so glad they arrived in time for what was going to be a long afternoon in a medical facility. My mask fit well, was very comfortable, but with hearing aids and glasses on, the mask kept falling off my ears despite repeated adjustments. I will have to sew ties on all of the ones I bought. Please consider providing ties as an option instead of ear loops.

  527. Tina Brown (verified owner)

    Bought one for my 5 year old and one for my high school son. They both say they are comfortable and fit great.
    My oldest likes that his glasses don’t fog up. Very well made!
    I feel safer when my children wear them at school and in the public.
    I will definitely refer my friends and family to purchase these for their loved ones.

  528. Mary (verified owner)

    Very comfortable and easy to clean. Love the adjustable straps. The nose piece fit pretty well, but wasn’t tight enough to prevent glasses from fogging up. A flexible metal nose piece would have helped. I added one and now my glasses do not fog up while wearing the mask.

    My husband and I really like these masks! They’re especially good to wear while exercising. I’ve always felt the only flaw was that the adult size masks were way too big for my face.

Thank you foe making a smaller size!

    Love the size small mask – fits my face (female adult) much better than the most masks (and the regular size)! Feels comfortable, very high quality. Best mask I’ve found for sure. REALLY, REALLY hoping they make more neutral colors for the size SMALL – grey and/or black. PLEASE! I don’t like pink or red, and I have the blue one, but need more.

  542. Brad Wright (verified owner)

    After looking at a lot of masks, I ordered three Stark’s masks (for me, my wife, and son) on 19 Jul and received them 15 Aug. About about what I expected. These are very nice, quality made masks. The fabric they’re made of is attractive (not just flat boring looking fabric), soft, and very comfortable to wear even for an extended time. The masks are a good size to give good coverage of your nose, mouth, and cheeks. The ear loops are a good length for bigger heads, and they have small rubber bits on them (which was a nice feature that I didn’t know was on them), so you can adjust them to fit if you need a smaller size.

    I did make an alteration on mine. The nose guard didn’t fit snug to my nose, so there were gaps on both sides, and when I breathed, my glasses fogged up a little. I fixed this with a metal nose band from a disposable mask. I made a small slit at the top of the inside layer of fabric of the nose guard on this mask, inserted the metal strip, and stitched around it a bit to hold it in place at the top of the nose guard. Now I can shape it to the contour of my nose, and it works perfectly, with no more fogged glasses. (My son, who also wears glasses, didn’t have to do this.)

    So, we all like these masks quite a bit and I’m happy with the purchase. I would recommend the Stark’s mask because they are well made, attractive (as far as a mask goes), are comfortable to wear, and are a reasonable price. If you’re looking around the Internet looking at various masks, but can’t decide which ones you want, get these.

  543. Kimberly Gear (verified owner)

    I, too, am on my second order of face masks! They are a family favorite. I have had a lot of sinus/face pain issues with trigeminal nerve pain and this mask is so soft on my face that it makes wearing masks bearable. I have washed them and they look the same as the day I got them. The masks fit well and I feel like the 3 layers with the protective layer are safer than the other masks I had bought in the past. When I wear my glasses they don’t fog, thanks to the nose material. I just can’t say enough about these masks. 10 stars!!!!

    The masks are well made and it is easy to adjust the loops on the ears with the added adjusters. I liked the masks so much I placed a second order. They are so soft and don’t irritate my face like other masks and they provide good coverage. My one complaint is that one of the masks was the wrong color. I ordered a blue mask and got a drab green mask. I was initially irritated but then realized I have some outfits with that color in it so maybe I can color coordinate my outfits and masks. The child sized mask is perfect for my grandson.

    Great Quality! Been shopping around online and these masks fit the best and I personally don’t feel claustrophobic in it. I ordered a second batch of masks because of the quality and fit. 3 layers is awesome!

  575. Deborah Nelson (verified owner)

    The best face mask I have found. Comfortable, cool, filter layer. The fit is adjustable. Awaiting my second order for my family. They are so well made and they would last longer if they had a filter pocket so you could just replace the filter. Wondering if that is in the works? Definitely recommend this product.

  576. Julieann Garland (verified owner)

    I just ordered my second batch of masks. They are good quality and I did the blow through test and the light test because that is what I saw on TV to get an idea of how good they are. You shouldn’t see through them and be able to blow through them. I like the flap for the glasses in order to help with fogging. So far these are the best masks I have found. I do wish they were delivered a little faster, but do understand a lot of people are ordering.

  577. Mike (verified owner)

    Great quality masks. It prevents my glasses from fogging up. So happy with them, I bought 4 more for family members.

  578. valerie young-dorshorat (verified owner)

    So happy with our masks I recently ordered more for ourselves and grandchildren!

  579. Jane Bradley (verified owner)

    By far the most comfortable I have tried, and the nose piece is really good. I like the adjustable cord and three layers … feels secure. Just ordered more!

  580. Lori (verified owner)

    The layers provide extra security and I really like the piece over the nose. I have a large nose and this mask fits well and does not move around when I speak. It washes well and is easy to put on and take off; even with earrings.

  581. Sandy (verified owner)

    Bought some for my 10 yr old grandson who wears glasses. He said they work great and keep his glasses from fogging unlike numerous others we’ve tried for him. He said they are soft and comfortable and his mom loves that they are adjustable for a great fit. I’ve placed a second order for other family members!

  582. Marcia Hughes (verified owner)

    Masks are very well made, soft, and fit really well!! I ordered 2 more!!

  583. Susan Malone (verified owner)

    Great masks. Very comfortable to wear all day

  584. Becca (verified owner)

    The ear masks normally cause me pain due to chronic headaches but these do not! They are the most comfortable and breathable masks I have! The size is perfect and not tight or loose. Love them!

  585. Nancy Iannone (verified owner)

    I’m on my second order also. These masks fit well and I love the extra fabric that tucks underneath my glasses. They are comfortable even in our AZ heat and wash/dry quickly.

  586. Maureen (verified owner)

    Best mask I’ve bought. I wear glasses and the extra nose piece really helps to stop my glasses from fogging up.

  587. Jennifer (verified owner)

    These are the best masks I’ve found! I’m a teacher and will be talking all day in a mask so it is important to me that I won’t have to keep adjusting it, and I don’t! These masks are very breathable and don’t suck in to your mouth when you breathe. They don’t slide down your nose and the flap prevents your glasses from fogging up. I’m 5’3 and petite and I’ve been wearing the regular size masks. They do gap a tiny bit under my chin but nothing I’m concerned about. Since we are so pleased with our first order we put in an order for 12 more immediately! I got some of the small size to see if they’ll fit me even better. They did take a really long time to arrive (almost 2 months) and I started to worry the company wasn’t real, but they are!

  588. Gayle Zischkale (verified owner)

    I have received my second order. I appreciate the quality of masks, wear them and have given some to friends. This second order had small rubber adjustment pieces. My first order did not. I would like to get 2 pairs for the first order. The masks slip off my face if I talk, but still favorite masks. Thank you again for your quality products.

  589. Jennifer (verified owner)

    Very soft and breathable! I ordered 2 to see if my family liked them and I just ordered 5 more!!

  592. Mandee Polonsky (verified owner)

    These are amazing! They’re comfortable, wash well, and fit all my kids (6,8 and 11) perfectly and the adult ones work for my husband and me. So glad we found and ordered more!

  593. Sandy C. (verified owner)

    I ordered two, just to see what they would be like. I’ve ordered five more as we are going to need masks for probably the next two years. The masks are, despite being three layers, lightweight and very breathable. Well constructed and fit well over my nose, mouth, and chin, and the adjustable feature allows you to make them as snug as you wish. The nose flap fits snugly over the top of the nose and does indeed make the fogging factor much less likely. Very impressed! I have some more expensive masks from a different company, and while good, they are not as easy to breath comfortably while wearing and get hot quickly. The Stark masks are no where near as hot and the inner layer kept the moisture factor down nicely. Kudos!

  594. Sandy Moyle

    These look great and so do the reviews. I have a suggestion. If these could be specialized with the name of the business, restaurant, church, etc in an elegant small monogram-style or like t-shirt makers do they would be even more popular.

  614. Patricia Alley (verified owner)

    Works great with my glasses. No more fogging.

  615. Darald (verified owner)

    Love these masks..! The nose extension is a great addition to the protection these masks already offer. I checked a similar company that looked like they offered the same features with the nose extension and all… but they didn’t look as well made. They were offering at a much lower price but would still buy these masks from Starks first..! Although it’d be nice to get a little lower price on them…

  616. Sherri (verified owner)

    I wore my mask for the first time today. These are the BEST masks I have worn (and I have quite a few) for glasses. Having the “shelf” allowed my glasses to stay in place and not shift around so I could see correctly through my prescription. Did I have a bit of fog, yes but I understand if you wash your glasses in soapy water and rinse them off, that will stop that. They are a little big in the chin for me, but I can make it snug elsewhere with the adjustable beads. I am very happy for the price and will buy more.

  617. John (verified owner)

    Very comfortable mask. My wife who wears glasses find they do not fog. In the hot weather, they are very breathable.

  618. Mary DiLorenzo (verified owner)

    The best masks money can buy comfortable and because I wear glasses all the time the extra material above the nose makes life so much clearer I just ordered two more love the color assortment !!!

  619. Theresa Petruzzelli (verified owner)

  620. Michelle (verified owner)

    I’m on my second order. Great masks! They are soft, breathable, but feel very protective and I love the extra material above the nose. They have held up well to washing. They hold their shape and with the size adjusters, fit every face in the family. Love these!

  621. Donna Ehleiter

    Are the purple and pink masks now being shipped with longer ear loops?

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      Lilac & Camo are longer as of 8/14 orders but not updated on the site. Pink will be next week.

  622. LMark (verified owner)

    Hey, when I first ordered I was looking for something that looked good but also kept my glasses from getting fogged up. Many people have commented about how it looks (good) and most notice the extra little fabric piece that covers over my nose to keep my glasses from steaming up. Lately I noticed that the heat outside with humidity causes a lot of problems but I only open the bottom of the mask and my breath goes out that way and I get plenty of oxygen to boot.

  623. Karen (verified owner)

    These masks are quality products. We liked our first order so much, we bought more!

  624. Lee Ryan (verified owner)

    I never thought I’d buy something based on an Instagram add, but these are odd times! And my Starks mask is the most comfortable mask that I own. It’s lightweight, and comfortable outdoors in fairly warm weather. And the anti-fogging feature works great with my glasses. (My glasses have relatively large lenses, which seems to help.) As the good folks at Starks note, there are sometimes shipping delays. But they kept in touch when my order was pending, so I knew the status at all times. And the mask was worth waiting for. When it’s time to buy more masks, I’ll be buying these.

  625. Maryrobinson (verified owner)

    I love these face masks.

  626. Terry (verified owner)

    Well made mask. Fits my husband perfectly. Had to shorten ear loops for it to fit me. How about adding an adjuster for the ear loops?

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      Adjusters are being added in 2.0 version. Most colors available now. Small/kids is also adjustable.

  627. Maureen Bagwell (verified owner)

    Great for adults and children. Very breathable mask. Glad they finally have new colors, I’ll be ordering more.

  628. SW (verified owner)

    I was disappointed at first when I saw my second order was a slightly different style than my first order, but I attached the ear beads, tried them on, and… PERFECT!!! Didn’t realize they could be even better. Great job!! Hoping the kids size will soon be available in white as well. My daughter who is 27 needs an XS size and doesn’t like all the kids colors and patterns being offered everywhere. Would love to see her wearing the quality that Starks has to offer.

  629. Christine (verified owner)

    I’m very happy with my Stark masks. They cover very well, the reduce the fogging of my glasses, and they are comfortable when you have to be wearing a mask all day everyday. I feel confident that I have protection for both others and myself. Thanks for doing such a great job creating a comfortable protective mask!

  630. Karen Moriarty (verified owner)

    I now have a small collection of masks I don’t like, then there are STARKS masks.STARKS don’t fog, adjustable, breathable, colors. Kids and Adult sizes. Hand washable. Love the little adjustable bead on the ear loops.

They are comfortable even when it’s hot outside which is what we didn’t like about some of the other masks we have. I also like that Starks is an Oregon company. I have recommended your company to anyone who will listen!

  680. Benita (verified owner)

    These masks are the best!!! I have purchased different masks from various sellers, I get hot with most of them when shopping. With Starks, I went to Home Depot on a 100 degree day, I got a little sweaty around the edges but I shopped for about an hour and not once did I want to run out the store cause I was burning up and couldn’t breathe. When I was done with my shopping, the mask dried up immediately. The icing on the cake, they did not fog up my glasses!! I even placed a 2nd order for more colors.

  681. turnfit (verified owner)

    Its a great product. Its breathable and fits well. I ordered 4 to get a 5th free. There was nothing on the site where I could select the color of the 5th mask. I received my order today and as I expected there were only 4 masks in the package. There is no contact number to complain of this oversight.

  682. Chris Franklin (verified owner)

    These are great masks. I ended up putting metal nose pieces in to get a better fit but I can wear the mask all day and no issues. Since I work in a high school, I purchase a total of four to get me through a week. The masks really does have great protection but is very breathable. I highly recommend their masks.

  688. Beverly Pettinger (verified owner)

    I love my masks. It took me a bit to get the flap adjusted correctly so that I don’t have fogged up glasses. Once I got that figured out, everything was fine. They fit me well and are soft and comfortable. I have placed another order and am hoping that the newer version with the longer ear loops will fit my husband. He is a large man who needs a bigger mask than the regular adult size. If I have to keep wearing a mask, at least for the foreseeable future, I’m glad to have the ones from Starks.

  689. Joanna Tucker (verified owner)

    I received my first order and placed a second. I really like the adjustable ear bands and the water-repellent spray on the outer layer. With the use of castle soap to hand wash and Nikwax spay on water repellent to replace the water repellent coating when it wears off, I am looking forward to getting a lot of use out of these masks. They are well-made and comfortable. The company was very responsive, keeping me up to date on when my masks were shipped. As a bonus, I paid with my AMEX and got rewarded for supporting a small business.

  690. Luis Carrasco (verified owner)

    Very soft and comfortable, I’ve already placed my 2nd order.

  691. Teresa Rosemeier (verified owner)

    These masks are so much more comfortable than the “homemade” ones we had. We don’t sweat in these. The extra piece to keep fog off of glasses works really well. It took six weeks to get my first order and I understand why. They are made in Vietnam and shipped in to Starks. My husband is a pharmacist and he feels really good about using these at work. I ordered some adjusters for the ear loops and received those in less than two weeks. I highly recommend the masks and Starks!

    The mask offers great protection and are very breathable. I love the extra material for nose coverage. Have already ordered 8. This is my go to place for masks.

    I think you’re masks for wonderful

  701. Kristina Huffman (verified owner)

    As an airline pilot, it is challenging to find a mask that will function effectively while working and still ensure anti-fogging of my glasses and allow clear communications. Stark’s masks have well exceeded my expectations! The masks are a first that accomplish all this while still offering the comfort to be able to wear for extended time frames. I highly recommend these masks to all my airline colleagues!

  702. Rob (verified owner)

    Great mask. I would appreciate it if you produced a larger version of the mask. Thanks

  703. Stephanie Hime (verified owner)

    Love my mask so much I’ve ordered more! Very comfortable and my glasses don’t fog! I read that children size masks are coming soon, can you give me more details. My grandson wears glasses and his current mask doesn’t help with fogging. Thank you!

  704. M. McKinney

    Nice masks would be even nicer if there was a way to make the ear pieces adjust to fit all faces

  705. AC (verified owner)

    Excellent mask. I use it every day it is easy to clean. Very comfortable to wear and breathable and does not fog up glasses if properly worn. I wear all day long at my job and in public. Have no problems with it. Only thing I would change on this is to make an adjustable so it can be set longer or shorter according to the persons using it.

  706. Maryann Shupack (verified owner)

    Very comfortable and well made.

  707. Debra

    How do I get the free masks order? Every time I had a mask, I’m charged for it. Do I not get to pick the color of the free masks? Or do I need a coupon code to be able to select the color of the free masks I want and not be charged for them. I have read your information over and over. And I can’t find any instruction on how I order the free masks. This is annoying.

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      Only add 4 masks to your order we will add the 5th during packing.

  708. Amy Larson (verified owner)

    Love the masks! Kids sizes please!!!

  709. S Anderson (verified owner)

    Received our two masks and am really happy with them. If I order two more, that makes four. Will I still get a free one? That would be great. Thanks!

  710. Kimberly Grogan (verified owner)

    I love these masks! The nose guard keeps my glasses from fogging up and they stay off my mouth. When I breathe in the air is cooler. I did a video review on my Facebook and I think got you a lot of business 🙂 I will order more for sure!

  711. Barbara L Kimble (verified owner)

    Excellent mask. Very comfortable. Right size for me but a little small for my husband. Still, I totally recomment this mask.

  712. Diane Willocks (verified owner)

    Got my new masks and am delighted. These are the most comfortable masks I have. I love that they are washable. I’m going to order another one.

  713. Pamela Johnson (verified owner)

    I love these masks. They are perfect for people who wear glasses! I ordered 2 and plan to order more..

  714. Natalie Fernandes (verified owner)

    Very comfortable and no glasses fog even on a one hour hike! Wish they came in kids sizes.

  715. Eli B

    Fantastic masks! We love the anti-fog nose piece. After our first order, my mother-in-law bought some and now we are ordering again!

  716. Kelly (verified owner)

    Very happy with my masks. Great quality. Qould highly recommend.

  717. LJ Thompson (verified owner)

    Received masks today. Comfortable and well made. Are as expected. Highly recommend. Thanks for the prompt service.

  718. Sandy Aguiar (verified owner)

    Read all the great reviews for these masks but they don’t even come close to describe how wonderful these masks are! So soft and comfortable. The anti glasses fog feature is beyond fantastic! I have tried several other styles of masks to prevent fogging but none have worked. First day wearing this mask and not one single issue with foggy glasses. Thank you for this great product!!

  719. Evelyn

    I received my masks today (sooner than expected!). I am impressed with the quality, but also with the professionalism of the company since they kept sending me updates regarding the delivery of the masks. I will definitely order from them gain! Thank you!

  720. Fredi-Marie Necochea (verified owner)

    Really nice masks!! Fit good and really like the fact they DO NOT fog up your glasses!!
    Shipping was fast too. Was real surprised when I got them today when I just ordered
    them last week!! Thank you Starks “good job” !!😊

  721. Nancy Carver (verified owner)

    No glasses fogging, light weight, washes nicely. This is my 2nd purchase and my friend liked mine so, bought some for herself.
    Cord locks are a good addition
    Would love it if you sold the Hepa filters alone. I have other masks I bought before I discovered yours. Would like to be able to add a good filter to them!

  722. Cynthia rosen-malter (verified owner)

    Yes, they took a few weeks to get, though shipping time is evidently getting shorter, BUT these masks are so easy to wear, I am thrilled. They are a bit pricey but have enough body to keep shape, are easily breathable yet are comfortable and the layer that covers the nose area fits really well. I especially like how soft and comfortable they are. I do wear glasses and the nose flap is fabulous so my glasses don’t fog. And the quick hand wash is easy. Thank you Starks.

  723. Pamela Ciekanowski (verified owner)

    Thank you, my masks are great! Well worth the wait, I will be ordering more. I love the extra on the nose part, my glasses don’t get foggy!! They are a little big but I cut the ear bands and tied them a bit to fit me better. No lip sweats during a heat wave too!! Nice!!!

  724. Melanie Berlin (verified owner)

    This is the first mask I’ve found, after trying at least 5 other brands, that is comfortable, breathable, and doesn’t cause my glasses to fog. The design and quality is superior to everything else I’ve worn!

  725. SHAUN NEAL (verified owner)

    I received my masks 24 days after my order, and I am impressed with the quality. They fit the adults in our house, but they are too big for my 10-year-old. Great masks, reasonable shipping time.

  726. Susan Green (verified owner)

    quality is outstanding and the nose guard works perfectly- just wish they came in cotton instead of polyester so they would be cooler in the summer

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      These are actually cooler then cotton due to the moisture wicking.

  727. Kim Cheng (verified owner)

    Received my masks today and they are soooo comfortable. What does it mean to saline rinse them? Can I dissolve some of my salt packets I use with my neti pot to do this?

    Thanks,
    Kim

  728. Ron Dallman (verified owner)

    I love the masks I got, I tried to order more, but never got a confirmation, TWICE! I’d give five stars if I could get a reorder confirmation.

  729. Channing Brown (verified owner)

    I got my two masks today after ordering from them 2 weeks ago.

    The masks are so well designed and there is tantamount quality and attention to the design. It’s not your typical “40 year old Etsy crafter tries a hand at masks” stuff.

    I understand a lot of people are upset or concerned about arrival of masks. Facebook is saturated, to DEATH, of fake storefronts.
    This isn’t one of them. I took a chance with Stark’s solely because they have credible physical stores. Kinda weird for a local-chain Mom-and-Pop store to stub people on masks, yeah?

    So I took my chance because I was sick of my “40 year old Etsy crafter tries to make cute Star Wars masks” suffocating me to death with thick cotton and fogging my glasses up.

    Their masks effectively combat against glasses fogging and offer way better breathing while it passes through another filter.

    It’s approved for up to 30 washes which is more than reasonable considered what’s inside. It’s legit. And I shelled out for two masks and it was reasonable because now I finally got them in hand, the stitching is great, the fit is good. I can’t really say any more other than for these still waiting for theirs….

    Be patient. They’re coming. And when it arrives, you will be SO happy and satisfied. Like me.

  730. Thu Nguyen (verified owner)

    Fantastic quality!!! Well worth the wait time. Best quality mask out there by far. Thank you!!

  731. denise landis (verified owner)

    These are the best face masks I have worn. Great design, comfortable and breathable.

  732. G. Rodgers (verified owner)

    Love the masks. Took a bit for the shipping but totally understandable right now. Question is that the masks should be rinsed in a “Light Saline Solution” Is this something I can make at home? Any suggestions? Have sent many people your way.

  733. WILLIAM CARRIGER (verified owner)

    Best non-N95 I have used and I have tried several from online. Comfortable, BREATHABLE, and doesn’t fog my glasses. Finally!

  734. Kate

    I have the same mask for sever months now, they’re great I just throw mine in with my laundry to clean it and it stays intact every time!! 10/10

  735. TG (verified owner)

    Best mask I have tried so far. Love the nose guard that prevents my glasses from fogging up. A little loose on me so I have to use a ribbon to tighten the back. But otherwise fabulous. Fits my husband perfectly. He wears his most of the day at work, so being able to hand wash it each night and air dry has been convenient. Doesn’t leave marks on his face either.

  736. Sherri Howe (verified owner)

    Eyeglass wearers: take note!! I have been ordering masks off of Amazon, Etsy, and all kinds of random places, trying to find one that doesn’t steam up my eyeglasses. FINALLY!!! The way they are designed allows for a little pocket where my eyeglasses sit above the main mask, but a thin piece of fabric goes up my nose and sits under my glasses (very comfortably). It feels breathable (my face doesn’t sweat when wearing it). It was a little on the larger side, but I can tighten up the ear straps to make it fit perfectly. I only wish they came in more colors! It took a while for my shipment to arrive (they had advertised delays due to inventory), and it was WORTH THE WAIT.

  737. Radine (verified owner)

    Just recieved my masks and they’re great! Quality is excellent. Mask is breathable and it doesnt fog my glasses!! Thank you!!

  738. Trisha N. (verified owner)

    I want to add to previous review. It was never said mentioned in the details that this mask is hand wash only and that you only can wash it 30 times….only that certain properties are lost after 30 or more washes. When you get the mask, directions specifically say they can only be washed 30 times…. Very disappointed.

  739. Jeffrey Hines (verified owner)

    I’ve ordered several masks trying to find one that fit and most importantly comfortable to wear. This mask is by far my favorite! I even used it in a bad air quality situation that was triggering an asthma attack and it quickly stopped it! Great design!

  740. Alfonso

    Wow! Due to Covid pandemic I have purchase an abundance of mask from different suppliers. Stark’s masks are by far the most comfortable and advance mask I have purchased. Thank you!!

  741. Leslee

    We’ve tried a lot of masks recently, and these have been the best-fitting and most comfortable. While the nose band doesn’t completely prevent glasses from fogging, it definitely helps.

  742. Peg Bumb (verified owner)

    I was pleased with the masks and they arrived right when they were promised, 2-3 weeks. Good quality product and good customer service.

  743. Tami Martin (verified owner)

    Quick and thoughtful shipping, and received a quality product. We ordered all black and they are each very well made and come individually packaged. The nose bridge piece is a smart feature, and flips up or tucks in as needed for fit and comfort. You exceeded my customer service expectations as well. Highly recommended and happy to support a local company.

  744. Marie

    Nice looking mask and appreciate the nose guard. Curious about the dust filter layer? Is that what is recommended for masks to block coronavirus? What is it made of?

  745. Todd (verified owner)

    I received my masks today and did find they are breathable as advertised. The mask fits fine, especially with the nose flap, though I was hoping for a little more elasticity on the ear loops. On the directions, it says to hand wash after “each” use (which would mean 1 day?) and that each mask would be able to withstand 30 washings, so I have at least 5 months’ worth of face coverage. Can they hold up after longer than that? I am glad to support a very local business like Stark’s during this time, though I thought they were being made by Stark’s themselves, given their work in the vacuum industry and dealing with filtration.

  746. MAF (verified owner)

    Received my masks yesterday. The masks are extremely comfortable, not too tight, not too hot, and yet still feel very safe and effective. There was a delay in shipping, but my understanding is that was due to a delay in manufacturing, which will likely be resolved in the future. Regardless, the wait was worth it. Thank you!

  747. Tracey

    Would like to take advantage of your buy 6 get 2 free. Is it possible to do this by mixing both black and white mask options? Thank you!

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      Yes you can mix just change the drop down to desired color and add to cart, change to other color and add to cart again.

  748. Caridad Espina (verified owner)

    I just received my orden today !! Thanks. It is a good quality mask and it fits my face perfectly.

    I SEE GOOD QUALITY ON THEM AND ALSO COMMENTS ARE REALLY NICE AND ACCEPTABLE….

  750. Joanne H. (verified owner)

    Thank you for my masks! I’m really pleased with them. The label says to “rinse with light saline to maximize antibacterial effect.” Do I just use regular salt?

  751. Maribel (verified owner)

    I love it

  752. Dan Smith

    Are they Machine washable?

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      Yes but hand washing and drying will retain water resistance longer

  753. Katrina (verified owner)

    It is a good quality mask and it fits my face perfectly.

  754. Stephanie (verified owner)

    I placed my order for 4 masks on 4/29/20 and just received my 5 masks today on 5/13/20. I tried on one of the mask and initially thought it was a little loose, but it’s one size fits all. As long as it doesn’t slip off my nose/face, it’s fine. It does stay in my face and the one feature I eagerly wanted to test out was the little flap you pull out so your glasses don’t fog up. It really works. These masks are a great size, not bulky or too big for your face. Be patient as these masks are well worth the wait during these times.

  755. Nicole Omiatek (verified owner)

    I ordered and received one mask. It is excellent! Great quality and fits me well. Other masks have been too big, but this fits my face nicely. I was planning to buy more, but see a comment that the size is being increased. I am concerned that the new size will work for me?

    • T Evans (verified owner)

      It’s a very slight change, 2cm to width and 1cm to height.

  756. JO

    Thank you for such fast service.
    The masks are great..Told friends about them.
    Keep up the good work..Thanks again!

    Wondering if you have large sizes?

Further complicating matters is the fact that Google, Facebook, and other online search engines have restricted marketing due to scams and price gouging. This has presented challenges for legitimate retailers trying to support the needs of the community. It has also made it much more difficult for the community to find masks being offered by creative retailers who have procured a quality product for sale to the consumer market.

Stark’s Vacuums is one such retailer. They have multiple retail locations and sells 3-Layer Face Masks online. They will also be coordinating with partners to make the masks more accessible.

What should you look for when purchasing a non-medical facemask?

There three major components that make face mask effective for personal use. The most important attribute is that the mask has multiple layers. A quality mask will have at least 3 layers and is comprised of an outer layer, middle layer with filtering properties, and an inner layer for comfort.

This will provide maximum protection and comfort. The face mask should have enough coverage of the nose, mouth and go below the chin with a comfortable fit. Lastly, it is essential that you buy from a reputable retailer to avoid scams and shipping delays.

Stark’s has been on business for over 80 years and is a name you can trust!

Where else can non-medical facemasks be purchased?

  • Facebook Market Place While Facebook is restrictive in the marketing of facemasks, many users have successfully found quality facemask for purchase online. There are many people selling homemade masks on Facebook Marketplace, so do your research and as the right questions to ensure you are getting a quality facemask.
  • Etsy Many homemade cloth mask options available from the crafting community at Etsy. Again, just make sure you ask the right questions and research the product before you buy. Check out customer reviews as well.

Why Bagged Vacuum Cleaners are Better Than Bagless

Vacuum bags are better than bagless vacuums - Stark's Vacuums explains why

At Stark’s Vacuums, we carry a wide selection of canister vacuums, uprights, cordless, central vacuum systems, robot vacuums, and much more. One question we get quite often is, 

“Is it better to have a vacuum with or without a bag?”

Vacuum bags are better than bagless vacuums - Stark's Vacuums explains whyAlthough bagged and bagless vacuums work toward the same goal, removing dirt and debris from your home, their method of waste disposal differs. Each type has its benefits and drawbacks – but as you may have guessed from the title of this post, there is a clear winner.

Let us discuss why bagged vacuums are better!

Bagless Vacuums

At Stark’s, we sell both, bagless vacuums and bagged vacuums. Bagless vacuums are a popular choice for those who like to see their vacuum working as the debris fills up the translucent canister. It is also easy to tell when the vacuum needs to be emptied. If you accidentally vacuum up something valuable, it is also much easier to retrieve.

Another benefit of bagless vacuums is that they are an eco-friendlier option. People also like not having to purchase vacuum bags – but it is important to note that most bagless vacuums have HEPA filters that should be replaced every 3-6 months. The life of your filter depends on use and how often your vacuum is regularly cleaned.

Bagless vacuums are not the best choice for those with allergies or those sensitive to dust. They can be messy when emptied and release particles back into the air. Bagless vacuums also hold less than their bagged counterparts, which means having to stop to empty it more often. 

Bagged Vacuums

Bagged vacuum cleaners need to have the pack when it becomes full. Replacing the bag is simple and most vacuum cleaner bags are not expensive. Some vacuum models have an indicator light that will let you know when the bag needs to be changed. A benefit of vacuum cleaner bags is that there is minimal contact with the dust and allergens. Just slip out the old bag and throw it away. No-fuss and no mess.

Bagged vacuum cleaners also tend to hold a couple of pounds of dirt and debris and tend to better at deep cleaning. If you are trying to deep clean and sanitize your home to help prevent illnesses, such as the coronavirus or flu, bags are the way to go! High-quality vacuum bags, like those made by Miele, are designed with multiple layers of protective fiber, which ensures everything you suck up, stays in the bag. For added protection, the bags feature a spring-loaded seal that holds dirt and allergens in when the bag is detached. 

Did you know you can use vacuum bags to make homemade masks?

Not that crafty? Stark’s is now offering 3 Layer Antibacterial Surgical Face Masks! 

  • 3 Layers: UV Filter + Dust Filter + Sweat Filter
  • High-quality washable mask that is water-resistant and designed for protection and comfortable daily use.
  • Water-resistant
