Good video I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for showing your insulation mistakes. I don’t know how many times I’ve done that myself. With the wall anchors It was nice to know somebody else does it to again thank you.

[@sumosprojects]

Cool review mate, it’s next on my to get list as I encounter the same dust issues after sanding, cheers for that 🍻🍻👍👍👍👍

[@ZacJones]

SUMO! Thanks for coming back man! you should totally do a review on your channel if you do get one!

[@NolanBuilt]

Great video man, I’ve had this one saved on my amazon wish list for a while now!

[@ZacJones]

You should totally pop on it man, I’ve noticed a huge difference in air quality for the past 2 weeks

[@ThePapa1947]

I have the same one I bought a few years ago. It works great I am sure you will like it. I ended up screwing a strip of wood across the joist then screwed my hooks into them. I put my about in the middle of my table saw and lathe as close to the ceiling as I could get. Only 8 foot ceilings as well. My lathe is the worst dust maker of the all my tools when I am sanding. But I have my cyclone going with a home made dust shoot that really pulls a lot in. I like how you tested it over night. I guess I should have tried that. Great video review. Gary

[@ZacJones]

Dang Gary I like that advice about screwing some wood across the joists and just screwing into that, seems a lot more sustainable than using "Ceiling" anchors. It's been about a month since I've gotten it and it has sparked a dust collection crusade in my shop. Dust is now the enemy

[@ThePapa1947]

Those anchors you used are amazingly strong. Should hold just fine. Yes dust has a way of getting everywhere. I once sanded some Purple Heart and what settled in my hair actually dyed it a strange color. Just a light tint but boy did I hear about it for the longest time. Pink really shows up on white hair. Gary

[@sblack48]

Ah finally a review that actually shows how well it works!

[@ZacJones]

Rv4 Guy glad you enjoyed it! I still love this thing!

[@kevo7878]

Exactly I watched all these videos all these other videos showed the install and nothing else and they called it a review.

[@Jamesnebula]

Enjoyed your video very much. Always found it really worth having some prefilter of the type used in paint spraying booths. it's like a loose 1 inch thick material . It enormously preserves life of your main filters, the only technical reason for not having a prefilter is that the companies want you to keep buying new filters. Good luck

[@ZacJones]

James thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, it certainly has made a difference in the shop that’s for sure!

[@StuffUCanMake]

Great review,packed with lots of practical info!

[@ZacJones]

Thank you! I tried packing in as much as I could without making it 1) too long and 2) Boring. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@deanmiller294]

I removed the control panel and rewired it to place on the bottom so I could turn it on/off from anywhere in the garage. Now I can run it without having to walk around to the front of the unit.

[@MakeThings]

I have a jet. It’s amazing it’ll clear some of the smoke out of my garage as well (fumes). Good review!

[@ZacJones]

Thank you! My garage isn’t nearly that big to get a Jet, but maybe the next shop will! I can’t believe it took me this long to invest in one!

[@DarthErebusPhysics]

I would have liked to see you do a more similar comparison. The dust you cleaned off looks like it collected for several weeks. What we need to see after you cleaned it, ran the sander and WEN is to then wipe down again and sand but leave the WEN off and show us the two frames side by side.

[@zanaga1901]

Wonder if this will work on the paint fumes when painting my truck.

[@mattricketts7413]

Thanks for the video. I am seriously considering doing some air filtration in my garage shop. If anything to keep my wife from complaining about the dust. Question: How often do you have to change the filters and are they a standard size or do you have to get Wen filters?

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

I own this filter and we love it. However, it did stop working after 9 months and upon inspection it was the circuit board that failed. I called the service number and they picked up on the first ring and I got a human in about 10 seconds!! They were very helpful, asked when I bought it and said it was under warranty and they would send out a new board. It is pretty easy to replace. I called on Friday afternoon and it was delivered to me on Monday!! Can't say enough about the great service from this company and professional help. I would recommend to anyone. And it is almost 1/2 the decibels of my old Delta filter.

[@Anythingforfreedom]

I’m mainly going to have metal dust so I wonder if I should have it on a rolling cart so it’ll be lower to the floor. I’m assuming metal dust is heavier.

[@mikec6111]

My joists are 24” apart and the chains allowed me to put my hooks directly into solid wood without having to install additional lumber into my attic.

[@isaiac165]

Zac - Great video. Do you have plans for that awesome workbench your miter saw sits on?

[@ZacJones]

Thank you! I’m working on them currently I’ll have them ready within the month! It’ll be in the link on my miter saw video

[@claudeisabel]

Merci pour le partage. Je vais en commander une.

[@rcud1]

mine did not include chains or wall hooks, just the unit hooks.

[@olddodger7178]

If your timer works like the one on my 20 year old Delta model, you can get a total of 7 hours by continuing to push the timer button one you remote. I will recommend this WEN end to my friend.

[@LaBizounerie]

Thanks for the great review... I was on the fence about this one and I might pull the trigger now!!

[@ZacJones]

Glad I can help! Nothing to sexy about reviewing a filtration system but I felt like some people would get some good info here. I still love mine 2 years later!

[@jsheverly]

Zac, Are you still running this? Are you still happy with it???

[@MrLocke-bk3om]

Did it fall off the ceiling? Those wall anchors are rated for vertical application only, no for having stuff from the ceiling

[@ZacJones]

Surprisingly its still holding strong. I have gotten a lot of comments about that. I actually just switched it up using a 2x4 bolted in to some studs and not the wen hangs from the 2x4. Thanks for the comment!

[@Cucurulo71]

I’m a little bit confused...does it have to be on at night time?

[@ZacJones]

Adriana Khodayari no you do not, for the test I kept it on for 3 hours and let the dust settle over night. When I work on a project I have the air filter on, and usually for 3 hours after I leave. Thanks for watching

[@vinceb9310]

Love the Flag. Good review thank you ZaC

[@ZacJones]

[@USA-sx1xi]

Hows the unit holding up so far?

[@ZacJones]

I run her everytime I'm in the shop and the blower motor hasn't skipped a beat!

[@ZacJones]

What do you all think? What type of AFS are you running in your shop?

[@sfbeninati320]

Planning on buying this one soon. After a year of using it do you have any updates? I was actually considering g buying the bigger version. My garage is almost identical to your measurements but wanted to test it out.

[@ZacJones]

@@sfbeninati320 No real updates, I still love it and for the price you can't beat it. If you have the budget I'd go for the bigger one. Make sure you buy some extra filters! Thanks for watching

[@jjbaker63]

Just bought it for 133 with a 100 off if you get an Amazon prime credit card. Hopefully a 33 dollar air filtration system will work for me.

[@ZacJones]

I’m sure it’ll work out perfectly for you!

[@ccodymac28]

Hey, 3 years later are you still happy with it?

[@ZacJones]

I actually am! It’s still going strong too!

[@ccodymac28]

@ZacJones ok great! Been watching reviews on them cause I think it's time to get one. My shops in my basement and that fine dust likes to travel through vents and ends up all over the house.. How often do you have to change the filters?

[@megdahlin1118]

@@ZacJones I want to say that somewhere in my reviews searches someone mentioned only hanging it 6 feet from the floor. That may help too.

[@VanillaGorilla502]

Works great for shop work dust, but not so much as an air purifier for dog dander.

[@fiftythree30]

you didn't collect a single particle of dust in this video??

[@ZacJones]

Read5330 why not? The filter was dirty

[@fiftythree30]

@@ZacJones looks great i just bought it but I couldn't find any videos of it in action. Like actually collecting dust. Thanks for posting.

Mine quit working but it was a slow death. Sometimes I'd go to the shop and it would be running all by itself. I contacted wen and they told me that signals in the neighborhood are allowed to intwrfere with the remote. Wtf. At first it only worked intermittently and then the remote stopped working all together. The button on the unit does not power it on anymore. If you live in the cities, don't buy a wen. Wens solution was to unplug it and only plug it in when I need to use it. So I'd have to climb a ladder into the rafters to plug it in everytime. No thanks. Shop around for better products. Only had it a year or so.
