4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little dust collector! Two minor negatives!, August 8, 2001

This Jet unit is a nice bargain. Good quiet motor providing excellent suction for a unit of this size, it nonetheless has two shortcomings. The first is the dust port attachment being very unwieldy, especially when you try to position it more or less precisely next to your stationary power tool. The motor and the frame seem to get in the way a lot. The other complaint is that when the motor is turned off, the bag falls flat onto the ground, resulting in the collection bag getting very dirty in no time. Maybe a way to hook the end of the bag onto the frame would help. It is relatively heavy, so pushing it around your shop on the small plastic casters is not very mobile. You might want to mount it on a piece of plywood with larger rubber casters.

2.0 out of 5 stars WATCH OUT!, February 1, 2003

This review is from: Jet 708616K 650 CFM Single Bag Dust Collector (Tools & Home Improvement)

When I recieved this item it contained the blower and bag ONLY! No hose. No extension arm. No dust port. All those items have to be ordered seperately.
I complainded to Amazon about this and they were very courteous and prompt in apologizing. Naturally, I was offered a full refund.
This is actually a good powerful unit. I just can't believe that JET is so cheap that they won't include a few bucks worth of cheap hardware.

For a small workshop or on a jobsite, this dust collector is great. It's easy to move, powerful, and fairly quiet. I use mine on jobsites and in my garage workshop, where it takes up little room and sucks up almost everything. I use it with my planer, tablesaw, jointer, and even as a shopvac. I would have given it a 5 star rating except for the fact that there is a black plastic guard over the impeller which prevents it from collecting planer shavings well. Simply remove it and it works perfectly
