3.6/5
A big single stage collector for a shop that needs lots of airflow and wants Powermatic’s five year warranty. A cyclone at the same price handles fine dust better.

Pros
- Airflow on par with 3 HP cyclones from a simpler single stage design
- Two canisters give a large filter area, so they clog more slowly
- Five year warranty and a timer remote
Cons
- Powermatic doesn’t publish static pressure or bag size
- Needs a 240 V circuit
- Costs as much as a 3 HP cyclone, which would keep chips off the filters
