Default Dust collector from HarborFreigh

Anyone has a dust collector from HarborFreigh ITEM 94029-0VGA?

Is it any good?

Thanks.



I use an older model for plastic cutting (and it was a heck of a lot
cheaper in cost). It has pretty good suction but the bag is a pain in
the arse to empty. Also, the vibration tends to cause the wheels to
work loose as well as every other screw on the thing.

There are also plastic screens on the intake and outfeed..if your "dust"
is long like splinters or plastic shavings, these almost instantly clog.
I removed em. Haven't had a problem yet sucking a bigger piece through
the plastic impeller but I'm still waiting for the time I suck up a 1/2"
nut.

As far as getting the job done (at least with the older model), it's not
too bad. Check Lowes also. They had a similar model for about the same
price as horrible freight at one time (and even cheaper with some sort
of sale in the past..clearance?)
