Do any of you actually use the fume extractor and vacuum pickup tool? I was looking at the xtronic 4040 which lacks these features but is $90 cheaper so I am having trouble justifying my purchase of this unit. Also where do the fumes go, I would like...

Can't say I make much use of the fume extractor, but I don't use the unit that often anymore. If you're doing extensive soldering work then it may be worthwhile. The suction air comes out of the hot air wand. Remove the tip from that wand to get maximum air flow for suction. I suppose you could connect a hose to the wand that goes outside. You would want to keep the HOT AIR switch off if you do this this, even though hot air heating does stop whenever the wand is in the holder.

I got mine for $ 450. but it was worth it. It is very accurate and has almost complete dust collection when you use it with a good shop vac. I have used it in furnished living rooms.

I'm happy with the unit, however, it seems the unit puts out a vaccumn cleaner smell that I do not like. Otherwise very fine unit. mo

Depends on your device you are applying it to. As in power... This unit is one of the best units with 6.0 cfs. Compared to 3 cfm or even 4. Doesn't even cut it close on how fast this unit pulls full vac. The only thing you have to worry about is oil (which it comes plenty with) read how to use the thing and don't think twice. --- This unit blows away (or sucks away) the other competition. The price is what got me. Can't believe a unit this cheap is better then the big boys. I use a mercury HG unit. Without the nipple cut - it says it can only read around 25. ... I have made it say 30 with this unit easy. Just buy it Depends on your device you are applying it to. As in power... This unit is one of the best units with 6.0 cfs. Compared to 3 cfm or even 4.

My unit fan runs continuously no matter what the setting. I never hear the compressor kick in.I am concerned about my electric bill also. How did any of you speak to a representative? All I got was to e-mail them and I have not heard back. Right now I am trying to use the bucket and see if shuts off when the bucket is full. What is a good setting for a large basement? I would appreciate any help.

Just got my Dust Deputy hooked up earlier this week. I cleaned the filter and collection bin in the shop vac before starting to use the Dust Deputy. The flow through the Dust Deputy is great. Almost nothing got into the shop vac collection bin. It is cool to see the heavier items spinning around inside the Dust Deputy while sweeping. As soon as you turn the shop vac off everything falls into the Dust Deputy bucket. I'm glad I got the Dust Deputy (Christmas gift that I specified).

Sorry Mike, but in researching all vacuums, there are problems with them all. I cannot decide on one either by reading the reviews. I'm frustrated and wish a woman engineer would invent one so that all the negativity found in every brand would be solved.

Sorry about that I miss under stood the question. But as for the CFM of our machine I don't have the answer for you. I have been selling this machine for 6 months with some of the best results in sale in many years but the company has never had the unit tested for CFM. But the company told me they will try and find out from the actual motor manufacturer who make the motor for the air purifier. But as you know it is not that important for CFM's as it is for regular air flow in your home or office. There is no way a little fan in a air purifier could ever cover a whole house with air circulation . Ionization and air flow is how this unit works. Like when you burn toast in your home you can smell the burnt toast through your whole house. Want to talk ? call me Lou Lombardi toll free over 40 years in the cleaning and restoration air purification business 800-868-5534. This is truly a fantastic product with a fantastic warranty.

No, I have not experienced a noisy vacuum. Vacuum on the soldering iron is basically silent. I used the vacuum parts picker in the past, and my recollection is that it was louder than the vacuum on the iron, but not by much.Make certain that you have removed the red screw from the bottom of the unit. It makes all kinds of odd (and wrong!) sounds unless that is removed.

I agree the Pet Hair Eraser is great has worked better than any other vaccum I have owned and I have had several the latest being oreck which a first i really liked but after awhile it did not preform so well. So I got the bissell and like I said it is great!

I used it rarely. I thought I would use it more. I recently gave away my Miele VC and bought a consumer top rated Sears canister. It has much more suction power and works better.

The dc50 is amazing! We have to empty it every room and we vacuum regularly. Can hardly believe what it is picking up compared with the dc41.

That's a drawback to the vacuum. I noticed that when I plugged in the vacuum and the grinder to the same residential circuit, it blew the breaker. The vacuum is well worth the investment and performs as Makita claims, even with fine concrete dust. I did not mind walking over and turning off the unit. An isolated 30 amp circuit should work ok.

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up.Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

I bought a Eureka EasyClean Corded Hand-Held Vacuum, 71B which I keep in my closet. It makes all of my Space Bags much more usable. (Previously, I ended up not sealing them back up.)

Barry D. not sure we have just wrote to Worx about our bag ripping after 2 times so we shall see how they respond. Still love the idea we can vacuum up the leaves it has made life easier being electric. We see our neighbor with a Gas Blower & having to stop quite a bit to put more Gas in. Love the Trash Can attachment better then the smaller bag but will let you know what Worx says.
