Review on Shop Fox W1823 Portable Cyclone Dust Collector by Brandon Carraway

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Some Assembly Required

This dust collector works and functions great. I couldn't ask for a better one. It is exactly what I was looking for. It came in two boxes, well packed, and damage free. The only gripe I have is that the assemble instructions where a little vague when installing the funnel, and I had to buy a tap to clear the threads of paint where the wheels mount to the chip collector. All in all, the assemble wasn't a big deal for me as I have quite a fair amount of mechanical knowledge, but I can see how it might be confusing for a novice with tools. I did make a call to customer service for the funnel issue. I was routed to a technical guy who pulled up the blueprints and walked me through the issue. Both reps were great.

Pros
  • ‎Portable
Cons
  • Some users report issues with the electrical connections, which may cause intermittent power problems or shutdowns
