Does anyone know how reliable there equipment is?

The reason I'm asking is, I'm gonna get a dust collector (instead of using the good ol shop-vac). I've checked on Craftsmen and Grizzly however, they are a bit pricey for a unit that is half the size that HF is offering. I've never dealt with Central Machinery so I don't know how "good" they are. Many thanks.

I really appreciate the feedback on this. I've dealt with HF before and have had a bad experience with them. Swore I'd never buy from them again but, the price of the dust collector, it's the cheapest I've seen or found so far.
I'll most likely do as Bob has done, get the accessories from either Grizzly or Rockler.

Again, many thanks.

Just a follow-up note... the dust collector has finally arrived. In a way, it shocked me as to how fast it arrived. Last time I ordered from HF, it took 6months before I got that item. So, now, I'm looking forward to this weekend, will be putting it together. The hose I ordered from Woodcraft arrived about 3-4 days after I ordered it.

It works better than I first thought it would. I really enjoy the double bag setup on it. So, in a word... :sold:
