There is no better air filtration system for the simple fact of the remote control. I have taller ceilings than most modern homes and to pull a chain like you get on all other systems could have been difficult for me. I absolutely love the remote. I keep it near the shop door and turn the machine on when I walk in and do not turn it off till I leave. If I have been sanding a lot I usually run the timer as I leave.

The 650 CFM is plenty for my shop. It measures about 25' x 20'. I have recommended this system to many of my woodworking buddied and they have had absolutely no problems with it either.

I have one friend with the Delta and she is thinking about getting the JET becasue of the extra features it offers over all other systems.

I purchased the Jet AFS-1000 about a year ago and it has been among the best workshop investments I've ever made. The air in my shop has been crystal clear most of the time for the past year.

I bought this unit after reading numerous reviews - just like you are doing now - and decided on this one because of the features it offers. Two of the best features are the remote control and the timer.

As suggested in the instruction manual, I ceiling mounted the unit. The ceilings in my shop are 9'6" so it would have been impractical to use a control that was mounted on the unit proper. Some units offer a switch on the power cord, but that would entail letting the cord dangle so that you could reach the in-line switch. Jet solved this dilema by equipping this unit with an infra-red remote control. Yes, just like your television, you must have line-of-sight between the remote and the control panel on the filter, but I find this not to be a problem at all. With the remote, you are able to control all functions of the filter including, on & off, the 3 speeds, and the timer.

Speaking of the timer, most times when I am going to be producing sawdust, I just set the timer for 4 or 8 hours and forget it. When I'm finished for the day, I just walk away and let the unit continue to clean the air until it automatically shuts off. The next time I come into the shop, the air is clean and there is much less sawdust coating my machinery, etc.

If you do much woodworking at all, you need an air filtration system. Do yourself a favor and get this one, it's among the best available.

Some feedback for Jet would be to pack it in a heavier box with more substantial foam blocks. UPS did a number on mine that didn't look TOO bad on first inspection, but luckily I plugged the unit in and turned it on before I horsed it up and mounted it on the wall of my shop. Squirrel cage had over half an inch of runout due to bending--probably dropped pretty hard--and the whole unit vibrated. I pulled all the guts out of the housing and straightened the squirrel cage, mounting brackets, etc (found one knurled connector only finger tight). After straightening, vibration stopped and all went fine from there on.

Sideways (wall) mounting was best option in my shop and I was able to do it by myself (the unit's not that heavy but is bulky) by drilling holes for lag screws into studs and slipping 10- or 12-penny nails into the holes as temporary hangers for the unit until I could get some lag screws in.

Cleans well. I like the timer option--fire it off and forget it. This thing moves a lot of air even on low setting and also helps shop air circulation while it's cleaning--a particular benefit when you have a shop with a high ceiling and a considerable temperature differential from bottom to top. Very welcome addition; shop stays cleaner and my children and I aren't breathing as much "stuff" in.
