Default Jet afs1000b Air Cleaner

Looks like one of these is in the budget. Looking forward to putting it in the shop..but there is a catch. The wife wants me to use it in the basement while I sand the drywall...YIKES. Will the drywall dust destoy the Jet...I'm sure it will foul up the filters pretty good. Any advice would be great.

AND NO...No alternatives..Otherwise she wont let me get it

I wouldn't think it would be good for it bud to be honest with you. Move it in the basement and tell her it is running and dont turn it on. Or ... do the sanding when she isn't there.... When I did the living room oak floors..... man did I catch hell! Blamed it on the sander Told her if I had a little shop vac equipped dewalt random orbit sander it wouldn't have been near as bad. So I gained a sander for the shop that would of made no difference in the living room God we are terrible aren't we!

I should get one of these as well for my shop... I have room on the ceiling

FYI

Called Jet this morning and they said it would be fine to use it while sanding drywall. May cost me a filter in the long run but no ill effects on the unit itself.

Time to go shopping
