The Dustopper PRO, Low-Profile Dust Separator for Shop Wet/Dry Vacuums. Includes High-Flow 90 Degree Sweep Elbows and Connection Hose. Fits Standard 5 Gallon Buckets, Made in USA

Just wanted a basic, smaller dust collector, this unit seemed to fit the bill. Set it up with my existing wall mount Shop Vac 4.5 Peak HP. had plenty of wood chips, shaving and dust to give it a good try. found it only stopped about 50% of the dust and chips. So, I rechecked the manufacture requirements, 2 possible causes for poor performance: Duststopper says vacuum should be at least a 5HP. (running or peak, they don't say) and beware of using a long hose (they don't spell out what's long). After searching I Ordered a Vacmaster Pro "BEAST" 5.5 peak HP. 5 Gal. ($84.89, a smaller unit to fit in the space available). I was amazed how powerful the unit is and set it with the Duststopper (yes, the Duststopper hose and elbows fit the Vacmaster), gave it a good test. Well, the Beast solved the problem, entirely. Almost nothing in the vacuum and all the dust and chips in the Duststopper bucket (as advertised) and I still used a 30' hose. I am well pleased! Now, not only do I have a compact and effective dust collection system, but I have a new, very powerful mobile garage vacuum that works great (very reasonable priced, I highly recommend The Beast if you need a vac). The only issue with the Duststopper is the darn gasket keeps falling out of the groove when I remove it from the bucket, not a biggie, just an irritant. But the Duststopper unit works great!

Works very well, saves from replacing vacuum filters as frequently. It's a good value. Pretty durable and the hose has some great flexibility. Fits a 5 gallon bucket perfectly.

This thing works pretty d*** good.But if you're grinding concrete beware of the static charge . When emptying concrete dust the static will light you up . Other than that it works great. Could use a little cart with wheels so the bucket doesn't tip over.

I’m using the Dust Right Dust Separator Lid with my Shop Vac 5-gallon setup, and it works exactly as advertised. It’s easy to assemble and does a fantastic job of keeping debris out of the shop vac itself, saving me time and effort on filter cleaning.The suction is great, and I haven’t noticed any loss of power when using this lid. It’s sturdy and feels like it’s built to last. For anyone looking to add a dust collection solution to their shop, this is a solid choice. Highly recommend!

Works Great. I ordered this item because of the low profile. It is a little more money than the Oneida cyclone but it has the lid built right in and snaps to a 5 gallon bucket with 2 clips on the side. Also, all of my Rigid vac houses fit perfectly into the vac and tool ports. Collection is efficient and the unit doesn't tip over.

This is a must have for desk collection. Every time I empty the dust collection bucket, I check my shop vac, and it is empty. This helps keep fine particles in the dust collector and not shooting out the back of my shop vac into the room. It fits perfectly on the big box store bucket it’s very easy to use. I did have one small problem. I pushed the elbow down too hard and cracked the seam of the elbow, but it only took a couple of days to get a new one with no problems at all. I don’t think it is a defect on their part. It is pushing too hard on my part. The second one I siliconed to help hold it on. This is the second one of these I have purchased and have put many bucket loads of sawdust through them. I don’t think they will ever wear out and will save my lungs from a lot of problems. All I can say is, they really work.

I recently bought a shopvac 5 gallon lid separator and it really wasn’t great. So I decided to try this one using the same buckets. Since my 6 hp shop vac burned out on just two boards using the first lid, I bought a new 5.5hp DeWalt and set everything up with the new Duststopper PRO cyclonic separator lid. First use, the lid blew off and dust went everywhere. Second time, it worked, but there was a leak and lots of chips escaped. So I did the unthinkable - I read the instructions. Turns out, the gasket has to be installed in a particular orientation, i.e. flat side up. Once everything was cleaned up and the gasket reinstalled, it worked just fine. Much better than the first brand I tried. Notice the clean vac filter and bucket- the separator captured everything. I cut all of my hose runs to five feet or less. The difference was noticeable.Just know that if you’re planing or jointing, your five gallon bucket will fill up after just a few passes of a 6”x6’ board, even 1/32” passes.But if that bothers you, try planing without it. So, for those of us that have lots of dust producing tools, but are just shy of the $2k+ needed for a proper dust collection system, this little gadget works fine on a 5.5hp vacuum.

This product is definitely a game changer. It eliminated the debris of sanding drywall right into the bucket for easy clean up. The filter is not clogged up anymore. That way you can get further along in your project without having to stop take everything apart to clean. Quality material and easy to put together. Highly recommend.
