There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Packing was minimal, however item was received undamaged. It's secured in a box by two hard foam inserts on it's face and rear. Unboxing was easy, and as you can see from the pic's, it's painted a nice slate grey/blue.
I plugged it in, and hit the button and on it went. The noise level is enough to know that it's running, however I'm sitting on my couch watching TV with the unit directly below the TV and I didn't need to turn up the TV to keep hearing it at the same level. (I can also hear my wife talking to the dog upstairs with no problem, however full disclosure, that's to be expected I'm guessing my neighbors can hear her too.... ) The noise level between low, med and high, is noticeable, but the noise on high isn't enough to be a bother so I can't imagine running it on any other speed. I haven't used the remote yet, and I'll be updating this review in about a week after I've done a good cleaning of my basement shop, and then made a mess again.
My shop is a basement shop, about 25x16x7.5 and I'll include a pic of that too once it's mounted.
The Day 1 of use follow up - Installing it was easy, I put 4 screws in my floor joists, and used the included chains to hang it. It took about 10 min overall. I used it while cutting 8 panels to length (16 cuts) and then cutting a tenon on each of the panels (16 tenons). What I didn't realize was my dust collector was completely clogged and was not doing a good job sucking, so I also started to troubleshoot that and let's just say that created a nasty dust cloud in the air. I removed the filter, went outside to clean it out and blow it out, and upon returning, (about 10 min) the shop air was pretty close to perfect. Assuming this thing keeps working, it'll be an outstanding purchase.
Complaints -
The remote isn't ideal, but it's sitting near my light switch and I'll be turning it on when I start working and letting it run for an hour after I'm done - I'm not going to be turning it on and off throughout my working down there.
The noise level of it in the shop on high was minimal, and couldn't be heard when wearing ear protection, and wasn't really noticeable over music that I also can't hear with hearing protection on.
7 Month follow up - No change in performance, I've blown out both filters a few times now and I'm not gonna lie, it's kinda scary the amount of particulate that this thing catches. If I had to guess, it's likely run for about 8 hours a week since ownership. I'm a hobbyist that will spend 2-3 hours at a time in the shop and let it run on the timer for another hour or two once I'm done. It's not loud enough to be noticeable, especially when wearing ear protection and I think that this is a good value in it's class. (CFM's/Filter/Price Point)

I noticed in other reviews that people were complaining about the noise level???? I have absolutely no complaints about the noise, of course you hear it running but that’s about it. All my tools make some sort of noise! The remote has been a great feature, works very well!
I did not hang it up so I can place it closer to the work area which seems to help. I have a small shop {12x15} which means that this unit is quite effective.
Through this is not a substitution for "at the point of dust creation" air filtration for most wood working it works great when catching dust is hard to do - for example wet tile saw doesn't capture 100% of the dust produced - it is water based and dust goes all over the place so traditional methods of capture are hard to install. Using large dust pan - maybe 2ft by 2ft could work but so does this.
Other sources that produce dust - such as sanding can be captured.
For a small unit there is quite a lot of blow of air from the back.
Well made for the money - very easy to install, remote works from reasonable distances (like few meters) - have not tested it from the other side of the garage b/c there is simply no need to.
