I was having the same problem. After watching your video I decided to remove the the filter on my unit. Problem solved, thank you!

Thanks for this review. I just ordered this same unit. I already have the hose kit so I should be good. Thanks for pointing out the issue with the wire filter. I will probably be using this for a number of tools including my wood lathe which could conceivably cause some clogging issues so I may remove the wire mesh as well...but for $108 it's a small price to pay and an extra bonus because it is mostly steel instead of plastic.

You could get a cyclone system to hook to it. That would catch all the large chips and leave it in the bucket. You would get very little dust into the bag and only have to change the bucket on a regular basis.

Thanks for the review. It answered my question about the clogging screen. As far as using a cyclone along with it from what I have read on Amazon it doesn't work. It lowers the CFM too much

good review pointing out pros and cons

The screen is the only complaint that I’ve seen on this collector. It doesn’t sound much louder than a shop vac if any. Great review

How does the air leave the unit? Does it just seep through the bag? If thays the case do you still get dust around the shop? Thanks for the video.

Love your review. What do think of this dust collector after you set it up in your work shop . Is there enough suction from your planer . table saw etc .. Thanks

Question for you are you still using your WEn dust collector. If so, would you recommend it and how does it work with your joiner and planer? Thank you for your time.

I have same unit- 1) should I run cyclone? 2) can I get rid of bag and run hose directly into sealed bucket?

This is awesome! Thank you! i just recently purchased the same dust collector and it started sounding weird. I am just a newbie at woodworking. I am thinking using a dust deputy to collect bigger chunks - what do you think?

hi I wonder if I can use it for air duct cleaning, do u think it strong enough

So it doesn't come with the hose??

the music

kill the repetitive music

Good video and content, but I recommend editing to make it a touch shorter! Overall 👍👍

ok but what model is it. No offense but this is like posting a review of the new Toyota.

Lol! The most important to me was the last 2 mins. of your 30-min. vid. It collected dust while watching this waste.

How's it holding up? I'm thinking of picking it up?

Hate to tell you bud, but wen tools are definitely made in China, they have a warehouse in Illinois and California where they stock units and parts, but made in China. Sorry to burst your bubble.

the noise in your background is louder than you. not very pleasant on the ears.

Brother with all do respect, you just spent over 20 minutes telling us nothing about this unit. I know no more about it than when I clicked on your video. I subscribed hoping you have much better information to offer.
