I've had a Fein Turbo II vacuum for several years now and I like it a bunch. But, I have never liked emptying and cleaning it, especially the hassle of cleaning the original cloth liner.

Now with this kit installed I get better filtration, excellent suction and easy emptying. The dust bag is surprisingly large. I'm sure I will end up changing it more often than I cleaned the unit before simply because it is so much easier to do. Even so, I doubt I will go through more than three or four bags per year in my use. The extra expense is worth it both for convenience and for minimizing the amount of dust in the air. I'm constantly battling with dust in my woodshop for obvious reasons. This helps!

My only complaint is that there are absolutely no instructions included with the kit. Luckily it isn't hard to figure out, but you would think that they could have tossed a simple one page instruction sheet in the box.

The Fein Turbo II (9-55-13) has received a heavy workout in my shop for years. It has handled all kinds of dust and debris, including sheetrock dust that chokes many other vacuums. The long hose provides great access and reduces the need to keep moving the vacuum. The power tool switch lets you hook the vacuum to a sander, router, or other dust-producing tool. Start the tool and it starts the vacuum.

Another great feature is the low decibel rating. Many carpenters know that the shop vacuum is the noisiest tool in the shop. Fein protects your hearing and saves you money with its great durability. This tool is bulletproof!

Hard to review something so boring, but this replacement kit does a fine job. I really don't like using bags at all but this is pretty easy to change out and it's always nice to put on a fresh filter too. Fein did a nice job with this kit and I would recommend using genuine Fein parts and accessories if you own one of their shop vacs.

You may as well get this because you're going to need it if you do any kind of dust extraction at al. The cloth bag that comes with the Turbo II will simply blow all the nastiest of the small particles around your shop. I bought this kit when I bought the unit and plan to upgrade to an aftermarket HEPA filter as others have described on this site.
