DUST COMMANDERS30-30 liter steel kit

I bought one of these for my garage/workshop which is constantly bathed in sawdust from my sliding miter chop saw despite being connected to a vacuum. Like a lot of reviewers, the facts are:1: This metal unit is worth the money, really well made.2: Assembled in minutes, works a treat. Vacuum now pulling in almost nothing, but suction is way stronger even with 4-5M of hose because the filters are all completely clean and efficient. All the sawdust is in the metal bin and the air is much cleaner - noticeably fewer particles in eyes and throat.3: I bought the 'frequently bought together...' long house and adapters - but it does come with a bag full of reducers to allow you to connect existing hose/vacuum combos. I would recommend buying in the long hose and adapters as it makes set-up really painless and quick as well as allowing you to attach anything you already have.FYI: I have an old but powerful Dyson cylinder vac generating the suck and it now works way better as it's working 100% all the time. Also works great with Henry. It looks like it will be weeks before it needs emptying rather than 20-30 minutes when connected directly.I have left the very long 'recommended' hose connected at full length so that it can be decoupled from tools and used as a handy clean-up vac, and surprisingly this seems to work fine despite the length.Really good kit, buy it with confidence as it is a purchase you will not regret; just wish I'd found this sooner. (Glowing review is honest and unpaid BTW).

Works brilliantly. Hardly anything on the filter, or just as importantly, being blown back out of the vacuum. Is a touch pricey, but looks and feels well made and will hopefully last years.

This is the dust collection solution you're looking for.I have a garage/workshop, I make stuff in it. I work mostly with wood. Before I got this product I was using my wet/dry shop vac as dust collection on all my tools. I would connect this to a sander, planer, circular saw, table saw and router and everything else. The dust in my workshop was ridiculous. The filters on my vac would get super clogged in no time and I was constantly having to clean them out and scrape them down. This is time consuming, messy and horrible. With this product that is a thing of the past. The filter in my shop vac stays super clean. All the dust goes into the drum via the cyclone and very little dust ever gets into the vacuum. The other major bonus is that the shop vac never loses suction because the filter is never clogged. The vacuum operates at peak performance all the time. I am genuinely over the moon with this product. It's the best thing I ever got into my workshop.

Works very well, leaves no dust in the vacuum cleaner filter, all dust stays in the cyclone drum. Ring clamp was tight, however a bit of WD40 and turning on the vacuum cleaner helped get the rubber seal to deform enough for the lid to seal. The drum container is strong. The cyclone is fitted to the lid already so no messing about needed. My Bosch vacuum hoses fit perfectly. One star more if it was priced a bit lower.

Absolutely love it. I was hesitating buying this unit at first, I was going to buy a cheaper copy from china and make a system myself. After I weighed up the time it would take making one and the possible complication with seals etc compared to a well thought out and built unit I decided to go for this later option. I read other reviews regarding the sealing clasp being overly tight and was a little concerned however the instructions offer some helpful tips which I didn't see until after my first attempt of clamping the lid on.It is possible but its very stiff at first. The instructions advise to use the suction from the vacuum to help pull the lid tight on the seal, I would say to follow that method as it took some huffing and puffing without.After a couple of days of use the sealing mechanism becomes much easier to close due to the newly formed rubber seal being compressed and moulded to the correct shape. It now opens and closes with no effort.The main feature of this unit is that it works really, really well. I purchased a Fein dustex 25 and a 50mm festool (d50) 2.5m hose which connects the units together and the suction is crazy. I use a 2" waste pipe flexible couplings to join the 55m cyclone to the 57mm vac hoses.I have been using it daily and have noticed minimal dust makings way into the vac bag. The cyclone is dumping virtually everything in the barrel below.I would not hesitate in recommending this unit to anybody who is in the market for one.

Arrived without any adapters, contacted Sulaco, who apologised and sent some out promptly.My Einhell tools connect to a "Sealey Vachose5M Vacuum Hose 5m" the hose of which fits into a 40mm adapter on the input port. A 2m length of 38mm tubing fits into another 40mm adapter on the vacuum port. Suction is provided by a trusty old Filter Queen Majestic no longer required for domestic cleaning.With fine dust particles from a detail sander I would say 90-95% turns up in the Dust Commander.Interestingly the inside of the shiny steel bin now has an orange hue from the stain/varnish removed from the stairs.Virtually all bigger particles from planing and circular saw turn up in the Dust Commander.Has a large capacity and is very easy to empty.I've had no issues with removing and reattaching the lid to the can that others have reported.Excellent product - should have got one years ago!
