Certainly collects the dust
I purchased after getting tired of sweeping up dust and wood shavings as part of my various woodworking product. While not wanting to spend several hundred dollars on a much larger system, I found this one reasonable priced and meets the job for my needs. After a couple of months of ongoing use, the system continues to operate well. Time will tell if the cloth collection bag holds up. One recommendation would be to purchase a spring type clamp for both the hose intake and bag attachment pipes as wire clips that was part of the package, while they work are somewhat cumbersome to use. Spring clamps make it much easier to remove and reinstall.

Great Suction at 5 locations 70ft hose Low Noise
Many reviewers have mentioned low suction and loud noise, but this has not been my experience. I have a single Wen 3401 unit connected to a disc sander, band saw, table saw, planer, and a 21” floor sweep. I have 50 feet of 2 1/2 inch hose and 20 feet of 4 inch hose, with one 90 degree and three 45 degree bends in my setup. I also added a homemade cyclone from a 32 gallon garbage can. With all of this connected this unit works great!!! Even with all the blast gates open this unit will suck up anything from any location no problem. In fact while using my planer I noticed that my garbage can cyclone had collapsed due to suction. I turned it off, fixed the garbage can, opened all the blast gates at each location, and turned the collector back on. It was still able to collapse the garbage can with 5 open blast gates it was that powerful.Regarding the noise I think it is rather quiet. It is much quieter than my 16 gallon rigid wet dry vac. The sound and volume makes me think of my furnace when I am in my utility room. There is certainly a loud hum present but it is not irritating like a vacuum or high power saw. Most of the sound seems to be more of an air blowing type sound rather than a motor whining sound like vacuums.Overall I was hesitant to purchase this due to other reviewers, but I am very pleased with this collector. I know there are more powerful and better collectors out there, but when this unit can clear 5 locations and collapse my cyclone all simultaneously for only $112, I don’t think you can go wrong getting this collector. The only reason I see to get anything larger would be for a business type shop with huge square footage and long hose lines. But for any home shop this works great. Plus if you do need more power you can just get another one of these small units and place it on the other side of your shop. It is only $224 for two units with 660 CFM each (1320 total) or $0.17/CFM, while a single unit in the next size up is on average $350 for 1500 CFM or $0.23/CFM. So not only do you get more suction for your money but you have the added convenience of placing a whole second dust collector wherever you need one.

Product quality and price
The WEN DC3401 dust collector is my third WEN product purchase which includes drill press and band saw!Gave the DC3401 a run through ..........very satisfied with this and ALL the WEN products! The tools do what they claim to do, and you get more bang for the buck!! They perform well in my shop as needed. Along with it I purchased the 10' hose and adapter!!!The DC3401 is compact and powerful!!! So glad there is a company I can go to that produces such quality for a fair price. I will be a customer over again ...and just for the record ......I DO remember WEN!!!

Excellent product - Long lasting
I’ve used this dust collector for just over 3 years now. I’ve put hundreds of hours use on it and just today I had to replace the carbon brushes because they had finally worn out. The brushes only cost $5.85 for a set of 2 and the replacement was easy and only took 5 minutes to get it back up and running.

Quiet, powerful and affordable
This dust collector is amazing. Super quiet and amazingly powerful. The price is very reasonable for its quiet performance. Perfect for single performance requirements or get a spit adapter with separate hoses. Unlike the other dust collectors that sound like freight train in your garage, this little guy out performs collectors twice it size.

cute little vac how can it work?
i purchased this unit as pre-boost for a large 8x76 jointer on green/wet lumber about 4ft past the machine and 15 ft from the shop intake port that keeps clogging up on my 1700cfm vacuum system. No more clog's .i did remove the intake screen since that problem showed up at the intake port of the shop system. i was concerned it wouldn't work in this application. it works great got to remember to turn it on!

Understand what you're buying and its still just okay
I'm writing this review from the point of view that this is a very cheap dust collector. I've only used it a little bit but I feel like I have a handle on how it will perform.The Good:1.)Easy to assemble2.)Does a good job on my small jointer (160mm)3.)Quiet4.)CheapThe Bad:1.)I know the manual warns you not to, but if you don't remove the inlet screen, you might as well throw it in the trash, or buy a super dust deputy to go with it. With the screen in clogged in literally 3 seconds of use.2.)Mine came without casters, bolts, or the clamp for the bag. If I didn't have spare clamps for the 4" hose, I would be in a different emotional state.3.)It did a terrible job on my planer. Which I'll put about 1/3 on the planer, 1/3 on me planing a thick board, and the last third on the dust collector.4.)Bag is a bit of a pain to emptyConsidering the expense, I didn't expect this to perform like a 5hp 7" dust collector. The quality control (missing multiple parts) is abysmal. If it lasts me two years I'll call it a victory. With that said, performance (once the screen is removed) is on par with what should be expected for what you're paying. Also when you open the box you get that mainland china factory smell, if you aren't sure what that is, buy this and you will know.*UpdateThey have already shipped me the missing parts, so good on them for customer service.
