DEWALTDust Separator with 10 Gal Stainless Steel Tank, 99.5% Efficiency Cyclone Dust Collector, High-Performance Cycle Powder Collector Filter, Dust Cyclone Collector, DXVCS003

This item is available at CostCo for $96 and tax which I did not realize when I made this purchase.That being said, I anxiously went to open my shop vac after a week of fairly decent work, assuming I would have to clean my filter as always. When I tell you the interior of my shop vac looks pristine, I'm not kidding. There's not a speck of anything in there. Absolutely everything was left in the canister. I am completely satisfied, I honestly don't care about the $30, I am so grateful to not be cleaning and buying filters 😭I use it primarily for extraction on my scroll saw and my CNC machine, both of which generate a lot of dust and used to kill a lot of filters. This thing is an absolute money saver and game changer.It was easy to put together but takes up a decent little footprint. It fits well in my space but make sure you're accounting for the hoses. The casters help.Please know that this is not a powered item, it does require an external vacuum cleaner to connect to. I knew that going in but reading the reviews I can see some people got confused.It does make the sound a bit louder. But honestly still totally worth it imho.

Just the ticket for my bead blaster cabinet. the Cyclone will keep the dust from plugging the paper filter in my shop vac.

The separator was shipped in the factory box and arrived undamaged. Assembly consists of attaching the cycle-separator to the lid with six screws. The wheels are installed with four screws. Total time to unbox and assemble was around ten minutes. The casters appear to be more than robust enough to support the separator. Fit and finish was impressive.Connections - there have been some reviews complaining about the diameter of the hose that came with the dust separator and with connecting it to a shop vac. I connected the cyclone to my large Bosch shop vac with a standard 2 1/2" hose that comes with most full size shop vacs, without the need for fittings or adapters. The shop vac hose fit over the top fitting for the cyclone.For connections to hand-held power tools, my miter saw, and multiple utility accessories, I use a 30' Cen-Tec, 1 1/4" hose. These hoses have quick connect adapters that can fit just about most sanders, saws, routers, miter-saws, etc. This hose fits perfectly inside the intake port on the cyclone with no adapters or fittings required. For the previously listed tools, you are not looking for high volumes of air flow. You want high velocity air movement which can easily move dust through your tools to the dust collector. High velocity is best achieved with a reasonably smaller hose, and the 1 1/4" Cen-Tec hose is perfect. I use the same Cen-Tec hose with an extension wand and a floor attachment to clean up sawdust, chips, and shavings from the floor around my lathes. With the Bosch shop vac set to 50%, it still does a great job with this hose.The Dewalt dust separator probably does a bit better at dust separation than my Dust Deputy did. That can be difficult to quantify because I use a HEPA bag in the shop vac. The Dewalt separator appears to have more air flow too, but I could not quantify that without a meter. Even without a scientific comparison, the Dewalt separator definitely gets the job done.Advantages over the Dust Deputy - from my perspective: The ten gallon stainless steel canister adds very little overall height, but the additioal capacity over the 5 gallon Dust Deputy is a big plus. The Dewalt lids securely clamps down to the collection canister. This is a big plus if you are mobile and moving around a space with the separator, as the lid on the Dust Deputy is not secured all that tightly. The casters on the Dewalt also help with mobility, vs the Dust Deputy with is just a bucket on the floor. (Dust Deputy does offer a 5 gallon unit with casters and a stainless steel ten gallon separator with casters too.)Most dust separators work reasonably well, with minor difference relative to efficiency and air flow. If you could qunatify the differences between most of them, it is unlikely that it would make a difference in the real world useage of them. The Dewalt separator is well made, and it works as you would expect it to. It's a good deal for the price, and online reviews are very positive.

Works great at pulling the dust out when sanding and cutting wood. Came assembled and ready to use !

Great dust separator that performs the job well. When hooked up to a shop vac, the suction is super powerful and cannot complain. With the smaller size, it's great for shops without much room and well designed. With the wheels, it's easy to move around the shop and put away when done. It does need a grounding strap as it creates a lot of static the more it builds up with chips/dust. Obviously, you are going to be cleaning it out often if you are using it with a table saw or planer with it, but that's not a complaint on it, just an observation for those that are thinking that it won't fill up quick.

This thing is fantastic!! Paired it with a Dewalt 12 gal. Stealthsonic shop vac.Vacuumed up a bunch of metal shavings, Dust, and Dirt and whatever else I could find and nothing got by it into the big shop vac!!! I'm really impressed how well this works and not to mention how Quiet the Stealthsonic is. Great job Dewalt, you got my vote.

Well made, and durable. Some assembly required, but I found to be very easy, using only a Phillips screwdriver. All parts come in the box, and it’s ready to use in about fifteen minutes.
