This WEN Air Filtration System works much better than I thought. It really helps to suck up the dust and filter the air when working in the garage. We're renovating our home and I'm cutting a lot of MDF and wood in the garage. I'm impressed by how much sawdust this air filtration box captures. While it doesn't eliminate all the dust in the room, it definitely cuts down the dust by 85-90%. It also is an effective way to keep the dust from travelling from the garage into the home. We have an attached garage and I can cut wood in the garage with the garage to house door open and the sawdust stays in the garage and is trapped by the filter before entering the laundry room.Generally speaking I am very happy with the performance of this WEN air filter there is definitely room for improvement.••• Build Quality •••The build quality is just Ok. The design is pretty simplistic which is good. It's easy to clean and replace the filters. The vinyl decal on the control panel on the back started to detach within the first week of use. The unit still worked but there is a gap between the decal and chassis which shouldn't be there. Dust and debris gets caught in is and I don't know how long until it may delaminate more and perhaps affect the working controls.••• Horrible Remote •••The remote is bluetooth or UHF. It is very cheaply made and I fear it will break apart if dropped on the garage floor. The battery compartment is poorly designed, the plastic is brittle and the buttons are soft air pocket buttons. I thought I was going to break the battery cover after installing the batteries. I wish the manufacturer would include a better remote, even if they had to charge another $5-$10 more it would be worth it.••• Randomly Turns On ... Ghosts? ••••Before buying this air filter I read the reviews and some customers had reported that their air filers would turn on randomly. I dismissed there comments but guess what .... they're True! My WEN Air Filter turns on randomly almost every day. The first time It happened I thought I just forgot to shut it off but then two days later it happened again. then the next day and the next ....etc.. There is no rhyme or reason to when it turns on, it's completely random. I've been standing in my garage and the unit just turns on by itself. Go to sleep come back into the garage the next day and the air filter turned on sometime during the night. I though maybe our TV remotes or bluetooth on our phones or our alarm sensors were randomly turning the air filter on but I couldn't isolate it to anything. The air filter just turns one randomly whenever it wants ... it's so weird.••• New Replacement Unit ... Randomly Turns Off! •••I sent the first unit back and got a replacement. The second unit randomly turns off. It runs and then for some unknown reason just stops at random times.••• Third Time Lucky? ... Not •••So I sent the second unit back and got a third one. The third replacement has the same problems as the first ... it randomly turns on.••• Conclusion •••Even though the build quality is just OK, the remote is horrible and this WEN Air filter turns on or off randomly for no reason, I still like it and would buy it again and would recommend it. The bottom line ... This air filter reduces dust in my garage/workshop by 85-90%. It's fairly quiet, and is easy to clean and maintain. The price on sale is $200 which is reasonable considering the filters cost around $75.This WEN air filtration system is a must have for any small workshop or garage. The build quality could be better but considering the performance and the $200 price it's good value and works well at filtering the air.5 Star performance, Minus -1 star for sub par remote and random turning on?

Llego antes de lo esperado, bien empacada y sin daños.Hace un excelente trabajo limpiando el aire del area.

I build furniture in my spare time in my garage (12x25ft) which is also connected to the house utility room. For years I've wanted a decent dust collector for use in particular when I could not keep the garage door open while working. I purchased the WEN 3410 due to its solid reviews and price point. After a year of use I can say that it has made a notable difference in the level of dust in the air when using a table saw or sander. Mounted at approximately 7ft in height it does a very nice job of dust collection to the point where it can be clearly seen working. I was quite shocked at how much dust the filter collects and knowing that for many years I did not have anything in place. It is not dead quiet, but not on the loud side either. With a saw running or a radio playing it cannot be heard when it is running even at highest speed. The unit has a timer, which is helpful though I rarely use it, and a remote control which I almost never need to use as I can just reach up and turn on the unit from the control panel.The collector came with all of the mounting hardware, which I used to install the unit (by myself, though a helper would have made it a bit easier), and the filters were already pre-installed. It does require a 120v receptacle, which I mounted in the ceiling specifically for the unit. So far, I can say that the biggest drawback has been the replacement filters. The unit uses 2 different filters, a 5-micron outer filter and a 1-micron inner filter, which come in packs of (2) and for both packs the cost is approximately $65; not super expensive, but not inexpensive either. It is possible to clean the filters by using compressed air to gently blow them out, but they should still be replaced periodically, and if the unit is heavily used I would definitely recommend replacement filters rather than attempting to clean them.All in all I would recommend this unit for a small shop especially if there is no space for a dedicated dust collection system. It has made a real difference in the air quality in my garage when using woodworking machinery.

Llegó tal como se esperaba, en la fecha esperada, sin daños. No lo he instalado pues apenas estoy construyendo el taller.

Item was delivered quickly, with no issues. No trouble to install, fired up and running in under 15 mins. Fairly quiet, and seems to do the job. I’m currently using it on a construction site, a basement development in an occupied home. There is enough dust flying around from framing and drywalling. The unit really helps keep the air cleaner than just allowing the dust to settle. I’ve done many projects like this and using this filter makes considerable reduction in the residual dust. It also impressed the tar out of client; taking an extra measure to help keep his place clean while under construction earned me some points. Good deal for price, value, and performance.

Esta increíble! Recolecta polvo muy fino y los filtros buenísimos

As a hobbyist woodworker having fun and making items for the house or friends, any money I have to spare on tools and equipment is naturally going to go toward that new table saw rather than boring old dust control. I usually just ignore the tickle in my lungs (dust mask? what's that?) and blast my clothes clean with the air compressor at the end of the evening. We recently moved into a split level with an attached ground-level garage and, perplexingly, an air handler and with permanent cold air return located behind a leaky door from the garage. Not wanting to spread sawdust throughout my house for my family to breathe, and being kind of tired of all the dust anyways, I started looking into dust control measures. Decided to invest in a ShopFox dust collector, various tubing, and this WEN hanging filter. I guess that spot meant for my new planer will remain empty for a while longer.I looked at the various brands available- prices ranged up to $400 for units directly comparable to this WEN unit, but I couldn't see what would justify the added cost (seemed like bells and whistles I don't care about. It just needs to suck air through a filter, yeesh.), so I went with this WEN unit that seemed well rated and economical.The unit was very easy to install- it's entirely assembled and plugs right into a standard outlet. Just had to hang four screw hooks (included) into ceiling joists and attach to the unit's four bolt hooks (included) directly or with chains (included). The two filters (a 5 micron pleated filter and 1 micron pouch filter) were already installed and can be replaced in seconds. Filters seem inexpensive to replace- I'll see how long they last during this period of heavy house renovations and will plan to update the review accordingly.Using the unit is simple- just push the power button multiple times to select the fan speed. My only complaint is that it seems you need to use the remote if you want to set a run time, though there may be a way to do that directly on the unit through some combination of buttons. The interface is a simple, perhaps dated style, but I don't mind that.So far so good, but I wanted some objective determination of the product performance- sure, I might think the air is cleaner with the unit installed, but might I be biased, hoping the investment was worth giving up a tool I really want? Lucky for me (and you, if you care about this sort of thing), I work for a company that measures air and water quality (NanoSafe, Inc.), so I borrowed an airborne particulate measurement unit and made a few quick measurements. My wallet was happy to hear me say that my expectations were exceeded.I work out of my 2-car garage (~20'x25'), with one bay reserved for woodworking and the other for storage and fixing vehicles. I set up my 8' workbench with my table saw and miter saw and WEN unit suspended approximately above the end of the bench near the middle of the garage, with intake facing the saws. I placed the particle counter between the table saw and miter saw, set it to average measured particle concentrations for a total of five minutes and got to work. Over those five minutes, I worked at a standard "heavy" pace as if I were performing several cuts in sequence. In that time I made 4 rip cuts along a 24" pine 2"x4" (slow going using a fine 60 tooth blade- selected on purpose for maximum dust generation) and a handful of miter cuts to fill in some of the extra time. Lots of dust floating around- it's important to note that I was using the equipment (both DeWalt, FWIW) in their default state WITHOUT anyother dust collection unit attached- the table saw was just spitting the dust right out and the miter saw had its default cloth bag attached which catches some of the bigger chunks the blade tosses in its direction. This is probably unfair to the WEN, as I imagine basic point-source dust control measures are expected, but I figured I might as well see what it can do.Results are next; quick notes about the particulate matter terminology so that the numbers make sense. I concentrated on three particle size categories- 10 micrometers or less in diameter (PM10), 2.5 micrometers or less (PM2.5), and 1 micrometer or less (PM1). How bad these sizes are for your lungs depends on particle shape and composition to some extent, but generally, PM10 is considered inhalable, PM2.5 penetrates fairly deeply into your lungs, and PM1 is just gonna keep on going into lung tissue, with the smaller end getting into the bloodstream. Ideally I would have measured ultrafine particulates (i.e. nanoparticles- PM0.1), but I didn't want to risk that very expensive equipment on my side experiment. Since the WEN has 5um and 1um filters, I figure this would be a fair. Measurements were made in micrograms (ug) per cubic meter of air, and categories are inclusive- so PM10 includes EVERYTHING below 10 micrometers, including PM2.5 and PM1.Four sets of data were collected. First, I measured the garage air in its ambient state- nothing on, and work had not been performed yet that day. Second, I performed my 5-minute series of cuts without the WEN or any other filtration or ventilation while measurement was happening. I allowed the WEN to run on high for 90 minutes before collecting a third set. Finally, I performed the 5-minute work series again while the WEN ran on high and measurements were active. For reference, the US EPA standard limit for daily outdoor PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations are 150 ug/m3 and 35 ug/m3, respectively. Results below- measurements are micrograms per cubic meter:1: Ambient Garage Air. PM1= 4 ; PM2.5= 5 ; PM10= 312: Heavy Woodworking, No Filtration. PM1= 21 ; PM2.5= 155 ; PM10= 42913. 90mins After Heavy Woodworking, WEN on HIGH. PM1= 2 ; PM2.5= 3 ; PM10= 174. Heavy Woodworking, WEN on HIGH. PM1= 10 ; PM2.5= 84 ; PM10= 2755Conclusions:1. Woodworking makes lots of dust. I probably should have installed dust collection equipment a long time ago.2. With the WEN unit located about 4-6' away from the saws and on HIGH, it was able to cut dust concentrations nearly in half during active work even though I didn't have any direct dust control measures in place.3. The unit cleaned the air in my 500ft2 garage very quickly once the work was done. After 90 minutes on the highest setting, PM2.5 was down to 3 ug/m3 and PM10 was 17 ug/m3- inside my kitchen on the same day (no cooking yet that day, and before all of the cutting down in the garage), PM2.5 was 9 ug/m3 and PM10 was 105 ug/m3. Yes- the WEN made my garage air cleaner than my house air. Maybe I should hang one in my living room.Overall, the unit performs extremely well. If you're in a hobbyist space like mine (i.e. a garage or small workshop), you probably don't need to spend the extra bucks to get a higher CFM unit- the 400 CFM movement of the WEN does just fine.Once I get my ShopFox dust collector set up to suck sawdust straight from the saws, it'd probably be fair to run these experiments again under a more intended use scenario. If I can make the time and borrow the equipment again, I'll update this post. Also, updates will come as the unit is used for longer than one day and any other performance/longevity characteristics become apparent. As of now, I'd say these numbers earn my hearty recommendation, and I consider this unit money well spent!

If you read other reviews you'll already know this is a great filter. I use this in my 2 car Garage/Workshop. I bought it out of necessity my wife would complain when I would come inside after a day of sanding covered in saw dust or when she wants to come in our garage hours after I'm done working and it's dusty and smells of dust. This filter goes a long way to getting the floating dust out of the air quickly.It's simple to turn on, it's quiet and it works! The remote is convenient for me since mine is hung from the ceiling. If I had one suggestion, I would like if there was the ability to set the timer without the remote (since I sometimes forget which pocket or drawer I've left it in).Overall - great product, great value and I would most certainly recommend this to a friend.

es lo mejor que pude comprar para mi taller pequeño pues limpia el aire cuando uso la soldadora o cuando corto madera. Mantiene mis pulmones limpios, muy comodo de usar por su control remoto, lo e tenido varias horas encendido y sin problemas.

Buen equipo, ayuda a mantener el aire de mi taller libre de aserrines finos. Sin embargo, el filtro se satura muy rápido y no parece fácil de cambiar ya que los seguros parecen muy delicados. Tampoco tiene filtro de carbón activado, por lo que no remueve olores
