Power doesn't compare with the Grizzly dust collector of this size

The unit works well, but it is packaged horribly for freight shipping. Like other reviewers, mine arrived with a large hole in the box, owing to the parts box being left in a wide open cavity without any padding. What you receive is a motor wired with a cord, but no plug (contrary to the spec sheet). The instructions call for several sizes of bolt, but the shipping contents and threading use only one size (I think it was an M8).

This is a good dust collector. While the box was damaged during transit all was undamaged inside. It went together easily and the directions were clear. I was disappointed that the bottom bag was plastic. While it is convenient to see how full the bag is, the band that holds the bag in place isn't designed to hold it. All in all this machine works well and is quieter than my old one.

So first of all I was excited because the shipping box had no damage! Very surprised! But then I unbox everything and there are a ton of quality flaws. Dents, dings, sharp pieces sticking out and holes not lined up. The lower bag assembly is a joke. The only way I was able to get the bag on was to ducktape the bag to the machine then put the clamp on. The 6" to two 4" connector was so loose I had to duck tape it or else it wouldn't seal. There is no plug on the cord so I cant even see if it runs until I get that done. That was not in the description when I purchased this unit. The tube that came with it had a hole so more tape till I can replace that. I wasnt given enough bolts so I had to buy more to assemble it. The poles holding the bags up are flimsy and I will need to install a handle connected to the base if I want to move it around the shop. I am VERY disappointed with this unit. Everyone said to try shopfox because they are the best. I now beg to differ and am unhappy that I purchased this unit. That may change when I can actually power it up. If it does, I'll update this. BUT if I dont. You'll know how that went too.
