Shop vac portable air cleaner


Has anyone used a portable air cleaner like Shop vac makes. I have a
small shop and would like to cut down on the dust during sanding. I
searched for answers but I often find postings about building your own
out of old whatever parts. I just want to know if someone has
actually bought and used one of these units and the level of
satisfaction.

Here is a link to the air cleaner i'm talking about.

Had one for 12 months works ok, also put a bathroom fan throught the
workshop wall in the basement keeps a negative pressure in my workshop
stops the dust from migrating through the house,along with a cyclone
collector system About the best I could do.

I bought one 5 months ago. I couldn't find the space to hang a box type.

I hung it from the rafters with banji cords. seems to help a lot with
reducing air born dust, but I have no comparison. The specs are not very
specific, I don't think it is nearly as a good as a larger box type. Not too
noisy, I can keep it running while I work or talk
