I was concidering this model and a few others including the jet. The delta won the comparison hands down. lets compare to the jet. both have a 3 speeds and 2 seperate filters and a remote. delta filters 91% of 1 micron particles jet only filters 85%. deltas timer can be set from 30 min to 71/2 hours in 30 min incraments. jets only has 3 setting. the timer must be set with the remote on the jet and all of the deltas features can be controled by remote and from the unit. and from what i heard from others the delta is more quiet. so i came to the conculsion that the delta model is beter in everyway to the jet model. even compared to grizzly's filter the delta wins. worth every penny. and a small price to pay for clean air and healthy lungs. not to mention no dust on your projects when finishing them.

I have my shop in the cellar & the dust used to drive my wife nuts. Got this unit & she hasn't said a word since! WORKS FOR ME!!!

Fit & finish is very good. It was easy to hang & I esp like the remote control. Your shop - & your lungs - should have one!

I'd give it 5 stars except in all the pre-purchase investigation one thing didn't show up till I opened the box! There is an admonishion that this unit will not filter metal dust from the air. I work 98% with metal......... Wonder what that mewans?

I really enjoy a quiet shop with just a radio playing soft background music. Quiet is a relative term and compared to some things in the shop, the Delta air cleaner hanging four inches from the ceiling is quiet but the tools only run for the short time I am using them. I am glad it has a remote so I can turn it off easily when guests and customers come in. Even on low, it is too noisy to talk over. I have a vacuum system for the power tools and about the only time I use the cleaner is during heavy dust times like sweeping up the shop and an hour after I leave.

Mechanically, it works. I am going to try to make it quieter by wrapping it in foam but the major noise is coming from both intake and exhaust.

I have used the charcoal filter and the dust filter. The dust filter is pretty good at knocking the dust out of the air after a few minutes. The charcoal vapor filter reduces the amount of vapor noticeable in the air. It's a little loud at full speed though. I think that it's a good filter and am glad I have it.
