Best Cyclone Dust Collector in 2023 (Reviews and Comparison)

1. JET JCDC-2 Cyclone Dust Collector

The JET JCDC-2 is an attractive collector with good performance that makes it a popular choice among garage managers. It is available in three different models with different mounts and dust cup sizes. 

Although it looks like something from a science fiction movie, the collector is rather attractive looking, with its black powder coat finish. It also has a locking lid. 

The unit has plenty of features such as: 

• a trough for very fine-grain dust 
• 18,000 rpm speed with short and long straight belts for optimum performance and durability 
• Five-year limited warranty

What We Like

• It has high quality and durable design but is compact enough to install in any shop 
• The remote control makes it easy to clean the collector when you’re not there. Just press a button and it automatically starts to spin. No need to hold the top or open the doors
• The motor’s speed is set from 0 – 6,000 RPM. This means the machine will spin up in the middle of a job

This is perfect for jobs that require extreme speeds or where you need to gather a large quantity of dust in a short period of time

We were shocked to find that the JCDC-2 came with a remote. Don’t get too excited, because it basically sucks. No, really. We find the buttons to be too small and cumbersome. Thank goodness you don’t really need it.

That said, we really like what this unit can do.

Grizzly makes the ideal machine for someone looking to buy a less premium and simple product. The G0860-1-1/2 HP is an excellent cyclone collector. 

It measures 27-1/2″ W X 44″ L X 70″ H, which means that it has a footprint small enough to accommodate nearly any space. 

As the name implies, this model has a dust capture capacity of 20 gallons. It has a maximum cleaning pressure of 10 bars (159 PSI) and comes in a standard shape. 

The G0860 Cyclone Collector offers enough horsepower to handle normal industrial use and it can be adjusted to work at low pressure as well. We like the manual crank that comes with it for smaller tasks. 

What We Like

The G0860-1-1/2 HP is a two-stage dust collector. It is best suited to a workshop or garage that is open and ventilated. 

However, it can also be used in a closed space if you have a door that opens to a controlled area outside. 

• The height of this model is large
• It offers a lot of usable height with a wide base and high clearance
• It is large enough to easily hold a large pile of debris. It can also hold up to 35 pounds per cubic foot, so it is easy to stack and store
• A remote comes with the unit with simple on-off buttons

This is a powerful but much simpler dust collector. The 11653 Cyclone Collector is much more of a traditional shop vac than anything else. It’s specifically built for the home and shop garage crowd. 

This collector kit connects directly to your existing shop vac to convert it into a Cyclone Collector. The cylinder of the dust collector is non-absorbent and is covered by rubber anti-abrasion pads. 

The kit works by creating a high degree of centrifugal force within the shop vac thanks to the included cyclone funnel. This helps your shop vac to pick up more particles and dust.

The dust collector is quite light at only 7 pounds, so you should have no trouble with it and it requires very little effort to move the cylinder. The bag opener is located on the top of the dust collector and it makes opening and emptying the bag very easy.

What We Like

• The 11653 is a nice option for those who don’t want or need a dedicated cyclone collector.  
• We find that the cyclone funnel works well enough for most people.

Festool is one of the leading brands when it comes to workshop tools, systems, and accessories. For over 60 years, they have been designing and producing equipment for professional mechanics.

The 204083 CT Cyclone Dust Separator is another powerful dust-removal tool that uses a cyclone system to filter and remove fine dust from the air. The tool can be used to clean air from a variety of surfaces including brick, concrete, wood, drywall, tile, and plaster. 

The Festool dust collector system is a very effective way to maintain a clean work environment.

What We Like

• The 204083 Cyclone Dust Separator is lightweight and small, so it can be easily moved from one place to the other, even when there are a lot of tools in use. 
• The Cyclone comes with a built-in air filter and an anti-static bag, making it an excellent dust collector in terms of functionality. 
• The tool’s positive handles are perfect for moving and opening the unit. 
• It has built-in, high-efficiency motors, which means less noise and low vibration.

This is another kit that connects to your shop vac. The Molded Deputy Kit is quite powerful. The manufacturer claims that the unit can capture at least 99 percent of debris, dust, and other particles before they hit your shop vac filter, which is pretty amazing. 

The Deputy moves as you move your shop vac thanks to wheels mounted on the bottom of its collection bucket. The unit does have a longer overall height, but that should be no problem.

This model is a full kit and has a filter assembly, storage tank, a filter bag, and a dust collector hose. It comes with a storage bag for storing dust and two collection buckets.

This unit is compact enough for tight spaces like your workshop. It can be used on both wet and dry debris. Oneida is known for its high-quality products, and this unit is no exception. 

What We Like

• This particular molded vacuum pack is made from the highest-quality and highly durable plastic. It’s much better than most hand vacuum units because it has a highly superior filtration system. 
• Installation is a breeze
• It’s very well made with great, non-skid protection and a sturdy base. A fantastic addition to any toolbox/shed/shop/garage, if you choose to add it.
