The thing works well and its a must have for a planer and a big plus for a joiner. However I cant believe this cant be made with hose fittings so a quick disconnect can be attached instead. I had to use PVC to hose fittings ,attempt to glue and seal them into the unit and duct tape to hold firm. It worked ok. Its sorta like this unit is only half designed. For me it has to be able to be disconnected after use as the hoses have disconnects for other machines. As well as the fact that with the trash can and all, it takes up a lot of room and space is always at a premium in the shop. As important as dust and waste control are its a shame no companies really give more thought ,design and care in the sizing.manufacturing and compatibility of the fittings. Id love to see a good company dedicated to dust control for small shops spring up that manufactures  good quality products with more design thought and a larger list of available workable fittings
