Very helpful video. My Record Power AC400 arrives later today and your video confirms what a great compact air filter this is.

After a couple of hours of heavy sanding last night, I woke up feeling awful and could feel the impact it had on my lungs. Ordered the Record Power this morning so looking forward to it arriving and making my shop, hopefully, a healthier place to work. Great vid, thanks!

I always have a shop vac attached and the air filter on, I probably should still wear a dust mask but don't unless it's a very dusty job. 🤧

Great review Karl and a great addition to your shop. I've had a JET version of the same thing for over a year and the most important thing it does is clean the dust you can't see that would otherwise be in your lungs, rather than on the shelves. It clears smoke from burning blunt saws quickly and saves your lungs massively especially if you're using MDF and the like. Runs for hours and you can clean the first dust filter with the shop vac or compressed air. Cheers.

Good review Karl. I installed one of these in my workshop early part of January, really pleased with it. I placed mine in a similar location to yours, but on a shelf as I don’t have enough height for it to hang.

Haha ye I balanced it on my head trying to put it up whilst he's sat on the loo on his phone 🤣 seems to be working really well at the moment Pete cleaned out the filter today after cutting and sanding lots of mdf and if was really dirty so collected lots and a quick blow off outside with the katsu leaf blower and as good as new. 😊

Thanks Karl... I have the Katsu leaf blower thanks to your recommendation. I am 6ft 5" so this unit won't fit in my workshop but with the leaf blower and a stupidly powerful 12" industrial extractor fitted in the wall I am able to de-dust the workshop and send dust into the atmosphere. But that was a fab review of a quality air cleaner. Cheers Paul

I had mine for about three months before it stopped working. Record said it was a remote problem and sent me a new one. it still didn't work so they sent me a PCB to fit myself! That didn't work so in the end they sent me a replacement and I returned my broken unit. Now I've had it for a couple of years and bit by bit, after the warranty period it has slowly developed problems, went fro multi speed to only one speed and has now stopped working! So I'm looking for another manufacturer. Any suggestions?
