POWERTEC 70293V Cyclone Dust Collector and Separator Kit w/Clear 6 Gallon Dust Bucket, Hoses, Reducers, Couplers and Hose Clamps

Way more gets into the vacuum than the dust collector... might as well just hook up the vacuum straight to whatever you are using

Works great, but a little unstable rolling around. I'm sure it will be better once I get more sawdust in it.

*This is not a “pro level” dust extractor so I wasn’t expecting much but I’ve been pleasantly surprised.*It has done a good job preventing filter buildup in my shop vac and suction power remains the same as it fills.*Keeps more harmful wood dust out of the air in my home shop.*Nice that extra accessories are provided to allow you to connect it to different machines, expandable-length hose a bonus.*Tip: put a weight of some kind at the bottom of the bucket to keep it from tipping over as you roll it around, like a brick or dumbbell weight.

This is the most expensive 'plastic bucket' I've ever purchased. That said, it does what it is designed to do (when it is upright), and filters out heavier sediment and shop debris very well. Hair and light dust, not as well... about half of it goes right through.There are a number of enhancements that could actually make this worth near $79:Number one, stability. If it's not securely tied to something, the suction from the hose tries to pull the whole unit over. To make this project remotely viable, I had to plastic zip tie this to a nearby table, at both the bottom and top of the bucket. A better design would be a wall or floor mount.Number two, non-collapsible hoses. There is a reason vacuum cleaner hoses aren't collapsible, because high suction forces them to contract. The provided hoses violently contract and drag the bucket with it. This combined with stability issues is a huge flaw, because when the bucket is on it's side, it's contents are sucked out. So if you have a months worth of debris and the bucket falls over, you might as well have not had this product at all.Number three, wasteful packaging. I'm not sure why this was packed in a double ply cardboard box. It's not remotely heavy, and it's not fragile. The plastic lid could be easily shrink wrapped to seal it, and the bucket already has the hoses and adapters inside. A paper tube that slips over the outside could identify the contents.

Easy to use and doesn't take up too much space

Great functioning product but the wheels on the base are very flimsy and the plastic isn’t very thick/strong at that point. Falls over a fair amount but I’m likely going to build a stand for it/my shop vac to sit in anyway.

it works great but if its not secured to the ground or weighted down the suction will pull it to the vacuum and turn it over i have mine in a milk create with weights in the bottom.. and the clamp that holds the hose to the bucket does not hold well and will pop off during use. i switched to a large band (pipe) clamp and now have no issues i would buy this again if i need to replace it.

Nice value package but it will tip over quite easily when the shop vac suction kicks in
