I've been using one for 3 or 4 years and it still runs.. lol

The only thing I'd like to see different is that the motor be 110/220 as it does
pull a lot of current on startup..

I use 4" DC hose with several blast gates and a shop made trash can separator
and am happy with it for the money..

I was thinking of upgrading the bags to a filter canister but for less than $300
I bought the jet ceiling mounted air filter instead..

One MAJOR improvement was adding the noise suppresser (muffler) from Penn
State...
That really quieted it down and was a good investment for $80..
