VEVOR 2 HP Portable Cyclone Dust Collector, 1,500 CFM Woodworking Dust Collector with 13.2-Gallon Collection Drum and Mobile Base, 220V Dust Collection System 3-Micron Canister Kit

I've been using for three years now in my home machine shop. So, I use it to collect metal dust, grinding stone grit, etc. This model is a good choice because all internal parts are metal, not plastic. Because sparks are a concern and grit from the grinding stones will destroy a collector, I added a spark arrestor from a Diesel Truck application and added another all metal cyclone upstream from the cyclone of the unit. Using gates and ducting it is plumbed to my welding area, surface grinder as well as hand grinding and sanding area. Since my shop is climate controlled this is a great option so I don't have to do this dirty work with the doors open.

Setting up a new workshop and wanted proper, ducted dust collection. I’ve never had a “real“ dust collector before just an assortment of shopvacs and small 1 machine Wen wall mount collector. I was prepared to spend some real money on this item, and in fact, hesitated to buy this Because of how relatively cheap it is. Now I’ve had it for a few months and I’m very happy. Surprisingly great suction through roughly 30 feet of snaplock ducting and flex hose. The mobile metal frame that it comes on is totally fine, but the whole point for me was to get it ducted, fixed, and out-of-the-way , so I mounted it to the wall. Plan to get a larger dust collection bin eventually, but other than being on the small side, the included one works really well. It’s true the instructions are pretty limited, but it’s not complicated… honestly, if you can’t figure this out despite the classic, just-barely-translated from Chinese instruction sheet, you probably don’t need to be in the market for a dust collector.Only real drawback is that it’s designed with a magnetic switch. So difficult to set up any kind of auto start/remote control options out of the box. I wanted remote control/auto start option and went with the iVac switch. Probably would’ve been more ideal to get a replacement contactor/magnetic switch, but for variety reasons – – all my fault – – I ended up crossing my fingers and simply bypassing the built-in magnetic switch.( I realize I am running a risk of burning out the 220v IVAC pro switch with High start up currents, and theoretically the fan motor, but so far so good. I’m sure bypassing the contactor also introduces at least a theoretical risk of overheating/fire hazard, so make your own choices… But I only use it under direct direct line of sight for relatively short periods of time so I’m cool with that theoretical risk. Since it would be basically useless to me without a remote switch option, and this was ultimately the only feature that tempted me to spend 2-3x more, decided to roll the dice and so far very happy I did. )

The product stopped working within 9 months with less than 40 hours on the motor. They would not honor the warranty. Tried to give a low ball figure to replace a metric engine. It didn't come close to covering the cost. They wasted more time in an attempt to reach the one year date (when the warranty ended). As if that would absolve them of any liability or responsibility. The wouldn't process a return or pay for the return shipping. Amazon was no help either -- they just sent useless messages to the merchant. They certainly didn't make it right for their customer. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Bought this to replace a smaller unit in my shop. This is an excellent dust collector for it size and price. Definitely recommend it for a small woodworking shop.

Unit comes well packaged in 2 boxes as everyone else has stated. I was easily able to assemble it by myself by laying the main unit and stand on their side.As someone else has stated, it comes with a MAG switch which is not compatible with a remote switch. I was able to replace the mag switch with a standard non-magnetic paddle switch I purchased on Amazon and now can use a remote switch with it. The MAG switch is not sealed as someone else has stated.It appears to have the suction it says it does, happy with that.I know a couple people have had motors fail and difficulty getting proper response from the manufacturer. For me, I ordered this knowing I may have to replace the motor in the future but given the low price, I’d still be way ahead of the $2k+ asking price of every other manufacturer for a 2hp cyclone dust collector. You’ll have to decide for yourself if all of that is worth it to you.

Took a week extra to receive the second package. Put it together and several of the bolts were rusty. Did work fine after assembly. Guess I'll just replace the bolts.

Item came in two separate shipments. I panicked thinking I had misread the product description. A quick note to the vendor eased my fear and that an additional box was coming.Packages came with all hardware and tools for assembly. Instructions are included but are not very detailed. However, assembly is fairly straight forward and intuitive.Once assembled and connected to 220 power [verify should you need an adapter] it had more than adequate power and suction. Previous wet/dry vac [2" hose] could not keep up with my 14" bandsaw. This product completely evacuate the saw of any debris.
