Amazon.com Review
A good filtration system is as important as any tool in your shop, and the Jet AFS-1000 is a pretty inspired machine. Like other systems on the market, Jet's uses a two-filter process: an outer filter removes particles up to 5 microns in size and an inner, three-pocket filter traps particles as small as 1 micron. The electrostatic outer filter easily withstands three or four washings, and the inner filter can be blown clean easily with compressed air. On the power end, Jet's three-speed, 1/6-horsepower motor filters to 1044 cfm on high speed. The outer filter is well sealed and provides efficient intake. However, what really sets the AFS-1000 apart from most filtration systems is its remote control and timer features. Since these systems are most effective when placed high or hung from the ceiling, being able to control all of the unit's functions via remote control is a feature we quickly decided we wouldn't want to live without. The timer, which can also be set via remote, affords you the option to set it and forget it. --Justin Paul

 Filter size deception November 20, 2008
Woody (Alexandria, VA)
The Jet cleaner works fine, except the company has fixed it so you must buy their "12x24" filter replacements at $40 to 50 each instead of allowing you to use standard 12x24" filters, which cost about $8. They did this by making their 12x24" filter to an actual size of 11-1/2" x 23-1/2". Since the similar filters, such as from Home Depot, are a true 12x24", they don't fit in the opening. Sneaky, huh? It shows that taking your cash is Jet's most important value.
 Remote dead! Heavy, bulky, and still leaves dust in the air. November 10, 2008
Arid Shrub (Austin, TX USA)
I've owned it for 5 years, recently found the remote is not working and it is not the battery. Everything else still works. I use it for painting which fouls the pre-filters fast. While this does keep overspray off of everything I'm not painting, it doesn't do a good job of filtering the air in my home-made paint booth, affecting the quality of the finish. If you just want to keep sawdust down in your shop fine, but not that suitable for when you want to do some fine finish work.

This unit is more powerful than the words or picture describe. I have it suspended from the floor joyces in the basement and it truly cleans the air quickly. Well constructed.
Good for the money October 24, 2008
J. Stanley Blumin (Florida)
It works but I still have dust all over the garage. Good product for the money but don't count on it removing everything.

Jerry W (PA)
Air cleaner works very good in my garage where I do wood projects and also store a classic car. Only problem is the plactic handle broke and the unit fell 3 feet to the floor. The unit was not damaged and I will replace the handle with a metal one.
