how well does the dust collection work?

The dust collection works great, providing you only use the right side of the sanding disk. Like all sanding disks the dust goes down on the right side of the disk, and up into your face on the left side of the disk. That why you need a 12" disk it gives you about 5 to 6 inches of dust proof sanding. As far as the sander I highly recommend it.

Fairly well, The back of the disc has fins on it to help create a suction to blow the fine dust out the exhaust port. It will send a plume of dust right out the exhaust hose, you could probably put a cloth bag on the end of the hose, but works the best when a shop vac is hooked to the machine to help pull any extra dust that may sneak past the collection hood that is mounted on the bottom of the table.

The dust collection is very good. Much better than most. High quality machine. We use in industrial setting. Use it everyday, works great.

Yes it picks up hair and fine dust,I tried cheaper versions first and wishI saved my money and bought this One first. If you need it for fine dust hair( we have dark hardwood floors) it reallyDoes a great job! And the cordless is great to go where you want however the head is small so it doesn't cover a large area. It may take longer to vacuum the same area

I use mine in the garage to filter and move the air around. I wouldn't try to use it as a dust collection system. I don't think it's designed for that type of application.

yes it does pick up dust pretty good but they sell others that has a brush like a vacuum cleaner besides the two round ones in the front that I assume will pick up really good so if you do some more research you'll see those I wish I could have bought one of those instead I really think that would have been a better buy

I also have a small shop. I have been using this unit as dust collection with no problems with leakage.

I have two cats and two tropical birds. I put the machine in front of the two bird cages to collect feathers and dust. It works best collecting dust and does collect some feathers but have not seen any cat hair in the filter. I run it on the highest speed 24/7. If you [;an on getting one buy the extra filter with the heap filter included. It will save you a little money. I have owned this machine for two years very well built!

I have four cats (including two with long hair) but I have never seen it pick up much cat hair. I find some cat hair on the pre-filter, but not a lot. It does a lot better with dust.

It's not extremely dusty here, but I would imagine that it will - it sucks in quite a bit of air. You would need to clean the filter a LOT more often.

easy enough to clean filter, however if you forget it could mess up the unit..it is really not meant for a dusty area...I used it while I was finishing the apartment I was building and the dust build up was considerable..i did clean it every day ...took out filter and vaccumed it..

Yeah it gets hair and dust trapped under it fairly easily,I had to clean it out every once in a while.

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.

Sort of. It will take the dust off if there are large clumps or bigger areas, but you will need something closer to a Swiffer. Also, the broom head does not come off (at least in my experience) so getting into narrow places is difficult.

It seems to help quit a bit at my house. We live in western oklahoma do we're constantly battle dust but it has been less since we started using the purafier. We have to clean the first filter about once a month but yes it does help!

It's great for all floors as far as sucking up particles of whatever. As for fine dust, it's on par with any stick vacuum and it will not scratch hardwood floors. I purchased 2 of them.
