Like I said, if that is what you are looking for, it is a good buy. I am
glad it works for you.
Just out of curiosity, have you measure the current?




Nope, never have measured the motor's current draw. I do know I need to run
it on a separate circuit or the breaker will trip with most any other tool
plugged into the same circuit. I never felt the need to know as I am well
satisfied with it. It sucks great! I connect it to my TS, planer. and
jointer, and it pulls all the dust and chips off all the tools very well.
The TS could use an overarm guard to get it all.
As far as the bag is seems to me that it is pretty good, I don't have fine
dust all over from it.

I think the dust collector is the only powered tool I would by from HF.
Anything else I looked at was pretty scary! I have a HF store close buy so I
check it out from time to time. I have bought a couple of cheap hand tools
from them, but not much. Some people have bought HF's jointer, but I looked
one over before I bought my Jet and did not like the fence. I looked at a
12" disk sander but the table mounts were too cheesy! Anything else with a
tail looked and felt too light duty.
When I bought my dust collector I looked at Jet and Delta as there is a
great tool dealer close by that stocked both. I could not see the difference
in quality to cover the $100 extra price.
