Thank you for this very helpful video. I just assembled the collector and learned a lot from this.

I'm a beginning Woodworker with a single-car garage for a shop....and want to be able to breath in Winter with the doors and window all cannot wait to add this to my little shop. I LOVE my other Laguna tool....the Bandsaw!

I truly believe most of those features are superfluous. A remote can be had for like $25 on Amazon. My filter has a crank at the top to agitate the filter media and knock dust off (literally a 5 second procedure). I never have to worry about over-filling since I use clear bags (which I reuse). The best thing I ever did was mount my unit to the wall since floor space is a premium in my modest-size shop (pretty sure the ones in the video can't do that). I am not, in any way, trying to discredit this video or 731. I am just trying to get across the point that the more integrated features something has, the more things that can go wrong and lead to downtime. Thanks for the content!

I ordered this on the day is was released in February. I’m still waiting for it. It’s good to see they send units to “influencers” first before their patiently waiting and paying customers.

Your videos inspire me to woodwork myself thank you

[carlcarlssen]

Thanks for video chief. This DC looks beautiful. If I had a 30 amp breaker I'd get it, despite having a 1car garage. Keep up the good work man.

I have a 2022 P-flux 1 in my shop and love it

[grumpywiseguy]

Good review as always. The value equation for this machine is on the pricey side as mentioned several times below. For 9cfm, payng almost 3 grand or more with the shipping is a bit over the top. I can turn a handle on cleaning paddles every so often for free. Also, to replace that HEPA filter after the autoclean paddles beat the you know what out of the filter pads, then that is probably a couple of hundred dollars. The unit is large, you never did show where you are going to put it. There is no way I could get that in my 2 car garage shop. By the time one gets all the tubing, connectors, blast gates, hangers etc. etc., one is looking at 5 grand. For a professional like you, certainly, for amateurs like me, probably not. Keep up the good work, I love your channel and the way you present.

Great video... one day I'd love to have one of these but so far my HF modified dust collector is working out for me. Wish I had taken dust collection more serious sooner!! Thanks again for a great in depth video on this, much appreciated.

It's good that you're doing well with your business, and the channel. Especially, if it means getting free, or heavily discounted, products. That said, I'm not sure if your audience, that is primarily made up of intermediate, home-shop, hobbyists, are going to start springing for $3K dust collectors. Especially, if this company is having a hard time fulfilling orders. Not knocking the company....or this product's value. Just saying be careful how quickly you jump into bed with someone, as your success, and visibility grows.

[Jimc]

They made some nice improvements on that machine. If I had the need for something that large this would be a definite purchase.
For now my shop vac and leaf blower are working quite well.

[MattsTAW]

Informative video. I love well engineered equipment. At some point I will have to get better dust collection than my shop vac. But I have power limits in my garage and since I am renting, adding breakers and outlets is not really a solution. Good stuff, Matt. Thank you.

Just my 2 cents. I worked in a professional cabinet shop and they had laguna 4hp sliding table saw, laguna edge bander, and the 2 or 3hp laguna pflux dust collector. The saw and edgebander are 10k$ + each and they were the worst. I'll never buy a laguna machine. Their reliability is not great. I've heard great things about their 1412 bandsaw but never used it so can't comment on it. I've only used the 3 tools mentioned above and used them daily and hate them. The dust collector is ok, not impressed with it. The remote stopped working after a month and it doesn't turn on sometimes. Only way it will turn on is if you plug it in and turn it on 1 sec after. This is a known issue from laguna and was told they are working on it. Anyways edge bander is great when it works but only does that 40% of time. Many reps have come out to fix it ands it still doesn't perform like a 10k machine should. Same with table saw. Tons of wiring issues and the dust collection on the saw it horrendous. Also 2 blown motors within 1 year is unacceptable for 10k saw. Their customer service isn't great either. Again I've only used those 3 machines and based on working with them daily, I will never buy laguna

[wittworks]

great video! I was eyeing the Oneida supercell….but then you show that new laguna…..wow…the features….very cool that they sponsored you!

[MrCharmedprince]

Love the channel and what make is the of the extending extractor hose you use to clip on and off the tool you are using?

[weatheredgoodswoodshop]

So aggravated. I bought the larger version of these just before they came out with the new model. I had no idea they were changing them. Would love to have that filter cleaner. Very nice upgrade. And I’ve already had to replace my remote. The remote that came with the older model was junk. And love the audible on the full dust bin. Overfilled mine many times 😬. But still love my DC.

[richardpoitras]

The cones these units are two short and don't do good a good job on fine dust if you have a drum sander. I know at one point they were selling addons for the fine dust if you called about it.

[jordanbrady]

What amperage breaker for 110v are you plugging it into?

[What_Other_Hobbies]

Great unit. Is the auto clean paddle going to damage the filter material over time?
