Ordered the Penn State DC2000 dust collector. I haven't given it a real
test yet but it seems to work fine.
However .. I'd like to meet the idiot who wrote the installation
instructions. Half the steps were missing. Well, of course I could
figure them out, but would it hurt to have a few more pictures? Or maybe
some arrows showing where things connect?
The lower dust bag is a beast to connect. I'm going to sew on some small
neodymium magnets to hold it in place so that I can more easily put it
back on after emptying it.
Sometimes I wonder if the people who build these things ever use them?

You can hold a conversation over it easily without shouting with the muffler.
I've never run mine without so can't comment on how loud it is otherwise.

A friend of mine has a sound level meter. I'll ask to borrow it and see
if I can get some measurements for you. It's rather subjective to say
whether it is too loud for people to talk over the noise. If it's my
sister talking, a 747 wouldn't muffle her mouth.
