The Dust Deputy Cyclone Kit

Is one of the best pieces of kit, thankfully got this on a special deal, so paid no where near the £200+ being asked currently.Been using it with a Bosch GAS 30 on my house reno and the amount of dust it catches is unreal. Only the finest plaster dust gets into the filter bag.With Bosch bags being £7-8ea and being to empty so easily its definitely a welcome addition.

The system works very well.The deluxe version gives you another bucket and some crappy wheels to manually attach to the bottom.Total waste of money.Get the top, go to your hardware store and get a 5 gallon paint bucket for $10.00 and you are set.Again, the product works well, the deluxe version is a waste.

I read many good reviews and watch lots of Youtube videos and then decide to buy the full kit. which I regret!!This item came with almost all parts and I connect it to my RIDGID 16 Gal vacuum. I think they should add a metal ring with screw holes inside the lid. The AS cyclone sits on a plastic bucket lid. Be careful, If you tighten the screws too much they will deform the lid! The foam ring to seal the cyclone on top of the lid made very cheap.The product is good for particles bigger than 2mm, it will do a great job but for MDF sawdust or Concrete dust from angel grinder, it won't work! I needed to put back the vacuum bag for these two tasks, the fun part is returning this item. It sold by Elite Tools Canada by Amazon. when I used the Amazon return option I got an email from Elite Tools Canada, they have to inspect the product, and will deduct any damages, restocking fee, and won't pay for return label!! Did not contact the seller anymore and Amazon Customer Service helped me to get the return label for free and a full refund. So Amazon Customer Service saved the day!!

Ill start with the better part of this review. I bought this as a cheaper solution to a dust extractor for picking up concrete dust and drywall dust. It worked OK and probably did save me a few filter changes on the vacuum, but I still had MANY clogged filters from fine particals in the dust. It works great for larger particals like saw dust and sand, but the fine dust will still make it into your vacuum.Now the reason I rated only three stars. This kit is expensive for what you get. The casters are worthless and mine ended up spending most of its time on its side dumped over. The other issue is why put an 1-7/8 nozzle on this so you have to reduce it down. You're losing cfm and creating turbulence, most vacuums that are capable of running this sport a 2-1/2 hose. I would say if you're some what handy just buy the cyclone part and attach it to your own 5 gallon bucket. For $168 canadian I wasn't super impressed with this for my particular job.

Considering that this is basically a couple of buckets, some hose and a molded plastic cyclone it's ridiculously expensive but we're paying for the innovative idea as much as the actual hardware. It works really well and does actually trap the dirt and water before it goes into the main vacuum. That makes it really easy to clean and you don't have to keep changing filters and bags. It's not totally easy to attach to a vacuum. Mine took quite a bit of fiddling and buying extra adaptor parts but in the end even with the considerable effort to set it up and the exorbitant price - it's still worth it.
