How do you deal with the exhaust blowing out as you vacuum? One person used a pipe to angle it downward, which I'd think would still blow dust around.

I only use it outdoors, it's impossible to keep the dust from blowing around, I just point out away from where I'm cleaning, one disadvantage of shop vacs, make sure your filters are clean and bag is kept before 3/4 full and at least you won't be blowing the dust you've just sucked up back into the floor. with a little ingenuity you could make a short hose and zip tie a little high flow filter element, maybe like a lawn mower filter, but it would have to show high volume and you'd have to clean it too. Does the floor attachment fit, turn it face up, Still need a filter.

Turbine spins very fast, I hope people don't try to block it as it keeps things within operating temps. Duster already gets quite warm with extended use.Also as of note the fine tool attachment adapter has a 'blow hole'. I wanted to block it at first, but it regulates the pressure out of the tiny nozzle so it doesn't get overloaded. Don't try to block that either, it blows plenty strong without covering it up.

I think the air pump at a gas station would also work. This time I am going to spray it with vegetable non stick and see if the dust comes off easier. On my larger fan I left the screws out and put the fan back together with bread twistys. That makes taking it apart quicker.

I use air from an air compressor. Just blow from every direction. This will get most of the junk out.

The only way is to rap a ground wire around the hose and ground it at the vacume. It is caused by static charge from the dust particles moving through the plastic hose.

Didn't try that and probably wouldn't. The fine abrasive dust might damage the vac, Shop vacs are cheap enough,

The upper cylinder comes apart and we've used bottle brushes and/or an air compressor outside as the dust is bound to fly. If you have a small hand you could probably reach in there, but the area vacuum cleaner company will do it as well for a fee. Not the most pleasant job, but my husband takes it on as a challenge every few months.

It does really well with fine dust like drywall. They demo it in one of their videos I believe. I think it comes down to how well your vacuum performs and how frequently you empty the dust bucket.

maybe...it is high velocity directional warm air. I would vacuum it first rather than stir it up and re-distribute. Just my opinion.

There is an exhaust port. And the air that comes out is hot. But I don't believe dust or debris can escape, since it has a filter there. I've never noticed any dust or debris coming from there.

I would buy some of those thick storage bags that you can attach a vacuum cleaner to! You know, the ones you can put clothes in etc...This would do a great job of removing all the air and would only take a few seconds to do. I should probably patent this idea!

Sorry, I didn't keep the two I ordered.Have you tried pipe cleaners and a vacuum? Wish I could be of more help.

That would suck! Actually, I think a vacuum could be attached in place of the dust collection bag. That would keep things nice an clean. It might be a bit awkward having a hose connected to the sander.

Hey. So how did this go? I'd like to try this as well. Figure it would take dust etc out on the air even with the be best on. Any insight would be appreciate! Thx.

I'll be honest, it's not great. When you detach the hose and add the cleaning attachment, there is no cover on the opening where the hose attaches normally. You have to almost cover it with your foot to prevent the dust from going everywhere. I rarely use the attachments as I have a Miele I use for the hard to reach places.

I have not read the reviews, but I suspect they refer to the air propelled out the end opposite the vacuum. I purchased this vacuum, because of the blower feature. I just put the hose on the exhaust end, and blow the bugs off the porch. I also use it to blow dust off the blinds. If you are vacuuming, it will blow some dust around behind you. I think I might put a sock over the exhaust with a rubber band.
