Each dust extractor was equipped with a filter(s) and a fleece bag (without a bag the filters would clog very fast, and we always recommend using fleece bags on the jobsite). Using Fleece Bags as Primary Filterįor the air volume, suction, and airwatts measurements and calculations, testing was done with clean dust extractors as an “out of the box” baseline. We know you have lots of places to get this sort of evaluation of tools, but we think ours are the best based on our vast construction experience. Each of the guys on the team is a contractor, a PRO, a guy that actually uses tools every day to make a living. Ergonomics and Features – We ranked each vacuum in categories including: Canister handles, wheels, locking caster feature, accessory attachment, hose attachment to vac, ease of controls, auto-clean switch, power broker switch, maneuverability, hose storage, cord storage, cord length, hose features, ease of filter change, mess changing filters without fleece bag, compactness, and weight.Īll of these tests and evaluations were performed by our Tool Box Buzz Team of contractors.Noise – Decibel measurements including the average and maximum value under high load.Airwatts was calculated for both the clean and dirty filters/fleece bag. Best indicator of the overall relative power and efficiency of the units because it takes into consideration both the water column and the CFM factors. Airwatts – Calculated standard measurement used in the vacuum industry.This test was conducted twice, once with a clean set of filters/fleece bag and once with the dirty filters/fleece bag. We also tested suction with a meter to compare the results to the water column test. Suction (Water Column) Test – This provides a relative measure of the motors suction power.Air Volume (CFM) Test – Tests the Air Flow volume of the unit in Cubic Feet per Minute.Milwaukee 8960-20 8 Gallon Dust Extractorįor the Dust Extractor Head-to-Head we evaluated the tools in the following categories:.Metabo ASR 35 ACP HEPA (US602057800) 9 Gallon All-purpose Vacuum Cleaner.Makita VC4710 12 Gallon Xtract Vac® Wet/Dry Dust Extractor/Vacuum.Hilti VC 150-10 XE 10 Gallon Universal Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner with Automatic Filter Cleaning.Festool 584014 9.5 Gallon Dust Extractor CT 36 E AC.Fein 69908195402, Fein Turbo II X AC 9.3 Gallon Wet/Dry Dust Extractor.DEWALT DWV012 10 Gallon Wet/Dry HEPA/RRP Dust Extractor.Bosch VAC090A 9 Gallon Dust Extractor with Automatic Filter Clean.A link to each is included with specific manufacturer specifications. The eight dust extractors used in this Head-to-Head evaluation are listed below. Read on to find out who makes the Best Dust Extractors! The lineup includes dust extractors from: Bosch, DEWALT, Fein, Festool, Hilti, Makita, Metabo and Milwaukee. In our latest Head-to-Head tool testing we evaluated eight of the industries top Dust Collectors in the 8 to 12 gallon capacity size. Recent OSHA regulations have highlighted how dangerous dust can be and how important it is to capture dust on the jobsite. Not only can dust be destructive to personal property but is dangerous to our health. Construction is a messy business and dust is one of the biggest evils in our industry.
