I'm looking into buying my first dust collector (small garage shop, one tool at a time).
The 2HP Harbor Freight DC seems to get good reviews, but it only has a 30 micron bag, and I've read reports that it can be loud? It also doesn't appear it can be rewired for 220V. Also, I don't have a lot of confidence in Harbor Freight products.
I just ran across the JDS 1-1/2 HP Dust Force. It has a 1 micron bag, and the reviews I have read seem to indicate it is fairly quiet.
The JDS is only about $100 more from Amazon, but by the time I pay shipping on the HF and buy a better bag, there's not a huge price difference.
Opinions?
Thanks,
Anthony
