Oneida Air Systems1.5 HP / 120V Mini-Gorilla® Portable HEPA-GFM Cyclone Dust Collector with U.S. Motor, Premium Filter, Liner Bag Holder, Bin View Window

Power and mobility

Made my sanding and refinishing work 95% dust free. I like I can keep the vacuum in my trailer (some of the time) or at least keep it running just outside of my jobs. It's easy to notice right when the filter is stuffed up. Because I'm moving it around and the instructions told me to hand tighten the wheels on, now my wheels are mangle and I'm going to have to figure out a new wheel situation. Not something I'd thought I should have to deal with on this expensive tool. Anyways overall pleased and would give five starts if it weren't for the wheels failing on me.

Well built, every piece, easy to assemble with impact nut driver, dead blow hammer, small cresent and utility knife. The unit is extremely quiet and powerful. I was pondering the Jet unit but 2 micron china made vs 0.3 micron and USA made had me spend the extra $850ish and I do not need extra 450ish cfm as I will single machine at a time. I also thought about putting money back into my own countries economy and that was the final decision making point. Haven't yet really put it through its paces, and will come back later if something changes to alter the 5 star rating. I do agree the bucket could be better designed but its not that hard if you get all three latches started and will rig a stand underneath.Update 7 month usage: still 5 stars, awesome and has more suction than i thought. Casters are doing fine. Buy once cry once. I got the dust right attachments and even the floor vacuum. With dust right attachments it is easy to switch from machines and other accessories.

Well made machine. Good suction. Made in USA. Only disappointment is bucket attachment/alignment is difficult. The 3 clamps is a bad design IMO. But Oneida seems to listen to customer feedback so I'm sure they'll improve this with time. For now a custom made dolly which uniformly raises the bucket into position is one workaround.Beats Chinese models with poor filtration.

Works great good instructions only complaint is that it is somewhat loud

Works great, though I didn’t realize I was going to need to replace the electrical outlets in my garage to suit the plug.

I finally hooked up my Mini-Gorilla to may Hammer K3 Winner and it worked beautifully. I have a 10 foot 5 inch suction hose between the 2 machines. It did a great job extracting the dust from the saw and I would certainly recommend taking a serious look at this machine.

Easy assembly, quality manufacturing and excellent performance. It has transformed my woodworking experience. Certain operations, such as thickness planing large quantities of wood, are no longer dreaded.
