5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent air filtration value, December 30, 2004

This review is from: DELTA AP200 Shopmaster 1 Amp 850 CFM Air Filtration System (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've been using the AP200 since Oct 2003 in my home and garage during a year long project that included removing the popcorn ceiling throughout the house, sanding drywall joint compound and ripping/cutting 1000 sq' of laminate wood flooring. I realized I needed an air cleaner after cutting flooring for a small room left a cloud of dust in my garage for days.

I looked at the Shop Vac air cleaner and Delta 50-875 but decided on the AP200 because I didn't need the remote control, timer or 3 speeds. It also didn't hurt that the AP200 received a "Best Buy" review in the Oct 2003 issue of American Woodworker magazine. The AP200 did better than the 50-875 in testing because the disposable filter had less blow through than the more expensive washable filter. Also the average CFM of the 50-875 was only 25 CFM more than the AP200. Buy the 50-875 only if you need the extra features and higher CFM. As I see it the AP200 cleans air just as good if not better than the 50-875 and have the features that can fail or be damaged during shipping.

I finally decided to hang my AP200 from the ceiling of my garage and ended up using angle iron like the stuff used to mount garage door opener and rails. It will take some work to get the ceiling joist, air cleaner mounting holes and angle iron spacing just right but it's possible. Now I can change or vacuum a dirty filter without the air cleaner swinging back and forth on chains.

To prevent dust from blowing around the outer filter into the 3 pocket filter you can tape the sides of the filter to the frame of the air cleaner using packing tape. Standard sized 12" x 24" x 1" furnace filters are about 1/4" larger than the ones that come with the AP200 so they can't fit without modification. I ended up just taping a better (hepa style) 12" x 24" x 1" furnace filter to the pleated outer filter. Just make sure the air is going through the filters and not around them. In theory this "double outer filter" setup should cut the overall CFM a bit but it's not noticeable.

The AP200 is a must have for any serious DIYer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Performer. Shop tested and approved., February 20, 2006

Excellent filtering capabilities at a very nice price sum up this product. The unit arrived packaged very carefully and sufficiently. I like the handles that allow you to move the unit around and the ability to mount it to the ceiling using the included hardware (except for the chain or cable).

Unless you mount the unit very high, you really don't need a remote switch since the unit has a switch on the cord that cam be reached easily with most installations (my ceiling is 9' high).

The unit is certainly not quiet but it is not loud either. The noise blends in the background easily after some time and I have hearing protection on most of the time during its use anyway so I don't even hear that hum.

Now to the performance. This unit is a true performer. I have a woodworking shop that is a little over 200 square feet and the air filter keeps it nice and clean even during hours of fine sanding.

To test the unit (and clean up my shop after months of dust has settled everywhere), I put on a mask and goggles and turned the unit on. The I blew all the dust off the tools, shelves and everything around the shop with compressed air and left the room with the unit running. When I returned about 15 minutes later, the air was perfectly clear and the unit has captured about 90% of the dust from the room before it had the chance to hit the floor. I did the same thing again and ended up with a very nice and clean shop to start the new era of air filtration.

My nose is the best indicator of a dusty environment and it has been very clear since the installation of the air cleaner. What a difference.

3.0 out of 5 stars Filters are too expensive, March 14, 2006

The Delta AP200 Shopmaster air filter is an excellent product, however Delta brand filters, at more than $12 each, are way too expensive! I ordered a box standard 12x24x1 furnace filters, 10 for around $32. When the filters arrived they were of equal or better quality then the Delta filters, HOWEVER, they are just slightly too large! Seems like Delta forces you to use their off-size filter, rather than an industry standard. I assume they see consumables as a high margin business.

I suggest you consider another other brand air filter system, like Jet, and determine if they can use standard sized filters. If yes, DO NOT buy the Delta air filter system. In the longrun, you will save a ton of money if you can use a standard filter.
