Product Description
Nothing makes woodworking less desirable than breathing the fine dust particles produced from sanding, routing, and sawing. Wood dust is not only a nuisance, but it is a health hazard as well. Imagine having a cleaner more healthy shop environment without having to spend a lot of money or consume a lot of valuable shop space. You can with this small, compact air cleaner. The unit is 25" long and 13" in diameter and weighs only 15 pounds, making it great for setting it where the dust is being produced. The induction motor quietly moves 235 cfm of air to filter dust as small as 5 microns efficiently and effectively; it is able to filter a 290 square foot room every 10 minutes. There is a removable end grill for convenient filter maintenance of the included 2-stage filter system. The small size is great for between joist placements in the basement shop. Includes a 12 cord with easy cord storage and rocker switch. The replacement filter kit includes a foam sleeve secondary filter and cartridge filter.

This unit does a pretty good job and, considering its affordability, I think it's a good value. I like it because it's easy to move around the house for projects that generate some dust. When I am sanding and I have it near by, I can see the dust heading straight into the unit and coming out clear on the other side. So, in my book, it does its job. It doesn't catch all of the dust of course but it's much better than not having an air filter at all.
I'm also a woodworker, however, and I don't think I would ever consider using this as THE air filtration tool for my shop. I think they made a mistake by calling this a Shop Air Cleaner; if you have a woodshop and therefore generate a lot of dust, you may want to look at stepping up to a tool better suited for permanent installation on the ceiling.
For me, this tool is portable so that I can use it outside of my shop. So, if you would like something portable and affordable that keeps your lungs and house a little cleaner, I think it's worth the money.

Have this air cleaner in a small basement shop ( ~250 sq. ft) at my summer home where I have a table saw and many portable power tools. Air cleaner works well for that area keeping the dust down. Its very light and portable, so can move it and set on a table near your work. Would have given 5 stars if it had a mechanism to hang from the ceiling. I screwed some hooks to the joists and used some old chain and placed through the handles and that works fine. Glad I purchased this becasue there is noticably less dust in my shop.

I normally don't sit down to write reviews, but customers need to know about this product. It is decent for a price of about $60, but not $120. It doesn't move much air and is constructed cheaply. Today it died on me for no apparent reason. I found out upon troubleshooting that it was a loose connection at the switch.
On to engineering of the product..
Everything is molded plastic, down to the fan. If you want to disassemble it down the fan module, you can't without breaking it, as the fan is a single piece with it's molded plastic clip. The power cord is simply stripped and installed with clips at the switch. No reinforcement at the housing.. just a hole. No soldering of any connections, so if your environment is dirty or acidic, expect the switch to fail, as did mine.
This is a cheap tube with plastic ends and a foam filter over a regular paper filter. There is no fuse mechanism, no steel parts besides the motor and the housing. This cost, at best, $15 in parts to make and it's not even made well.
