Dear Gary,

After several months of researching dust protection, I have a Lung
Disease from breathing all of the sawdust over a 40 year span in
woodworking unprotected from dust wil bring. I firsdty purchased a
Delta 1 HP Dust Collector for my small 10' x 10' x 7' ceiling shop. I
added a Jet Dust Filtration system and by that time the Trend Unit
seemed the only way to go. The other unit in this price range has a
hard hat, ear protectors plus require one to war the filter on one's
belt. I already wear Oxygen 24/7 and didn't need another "something"
dangling from my head. I have a very full beard and and really big
head so I was somewhat skeptical of ordering it but finally I spoke
with a very nice fewllow from Packward Woodworks in Tryon, NC who told
me to order one and try it. If it just would not work for me to simply
return it. Well I got it and I must admit that I must be at the upper
limits of it's fitting limit. But the air moves well. I have always
sweat like a pig when I'm working and I must say that the light
constant breeze from the Trend Airshield offers a very refreshing
breeze that helps keep my face cool. It filters the air so well that I
can't even smell the wood enough to tell whether it is walnut or oak
that I'm working on. All in all I am VERY Satisfied with the unit.
The only regret that I have is that the company does not supply two
batteries with the unit instead of just one. And I wish that it were a
bit more roomier through the heaband and neck filtering area.
