Mullet High-Speed Cyclone Dust Collector for Shop Vacuum - Sawdust Separator, Dust Collectors for Woodworking, Garage, Hobbyist Debris Extraction

I bought this to help with removing popcorn ceiling, and it made the whole process much easier. I also bought the $40 "bucket and lid" solution to try first as it was significantly cheaper. If that had worked I would have just returned this magnificent beast and saved the $200. Using the mullet, though, was much, much easier and the upgrade cost was worth it to me for how much faster I could work.The unit itself is very solidly built, definitely up for moving and banging around. The connection to the shop vac is solid as well (if you set it up correctly). I just grabbed the dust collector and dragged around the whole thing as a unit.Every detail is very well thought out, from the documentation (they give you a branded coozie, carpenters pencil, and a dollar bill attached to the registration) to all the different use cases. There are many features I will probably never use, for example I'm probably never going to mount this on my wall or in a vertical configuration. But it's nice to know I could.As a dust collector it works very well. Much better than a bucket. It maintains better suction and separate out the dust very well before it can get into the vacuum. While I did make sure it never got too full, I was able to remove 2200 SQ ft of popcorn ceiling without changing the bag in my shop vac once.

Well designed, clear instructions for proper fitment, worked like a champ. Excellent customer service....needed a custom connector for angled vac input....3D printed, shipped and recieved within a day.

I could see our business having a few of these but they are expensive for what it is. I don’t regret buying though. They work incredibly well.Takes the burden off of the vacuum or dust extractor. We use Ridgid shop vacs or the IQ426Hepa dust extractor. We now run 20-40ft of hose from the extractor to the Mullet, and then use a 6-10 ft hose to the hose end or tool that we have attached. Before the mullet, we would get debris caught in the longer hose and lose suction. But now if a clog happens, it’s easy to clear the short hose. We keep an eye on the mullet and dump when needed. But the other great part is that we can go days without having to knock out a blocked filter. Prior to using the Mullet separator we could be knocking out a filter every hour.And because this separates the majority of debris (95%+ depending on how heavy the debris) we just use the IQ426Hepa dust extractor as a shop vac that has improved filtration on the back end. It will pick up anything that fits in the 2.5” hose, better than any shop vac setup we’ve used.The only changed I might make or would like to see in a future model, is a heavier base. Because we used this as stand alone closer to the hose end, meaning it’s not directly at the vacuum, it tends to tip over until it starts to fill up. I may have to attach some weight to the bottom. And the wheels could be a little bigger for those using on a rough construction site. I know all shop vacs fail on the wheels as well but for a premium product, maybe a second “pro” option could be nice.

I am more than pleased with the product I received from the team at Mullet Tools. It works as advertised, and super easy to set up. I am even more impressed with their level of service. When I purchased the cyclone I also bought a new shop vac to power it. I wanted one that wasn't as loud and had good reviews as to suction and power. I ended up getting the VacMaster pro. It is a nice vac and really well built. Unfortunately it had a screw on connector for the hose. The cyclone hooked up to the vac with no problem, but the hose from the vac did not connect. I really wasn't worried because I had my old hose that worked fine. I sent an email thanking them for the product and just mentioned that the hose didn't work. I really didn't expect anything from it, and I wasn't mad or disappointed. I had a reply from them the following morning, and Gus and the team at Mullet were not happy that the new hose wouldn't work. They sprung into action. Within a week after hearing my dilemma they have designed and produced an adaptor that allows me to use my new hose. I recommend the product to anyone that needs dust collection. It works fantastically, but even more I recommend the team at Mullet Tools. They have gone over and above what I ever expected from them or any company these days. I truly wish them success and hope they come out with more innovative products soon, because I will be the first in line to buy them. Thank you everyone at Mullet Tools!!!

I am extremely impressed with the "Mullet" high-speed cyclone dust collector. After about a week of use, I have filled it up with extremely fine dust.My shop vac has been able to maintain suction power even with continuous use for hours on end.I have it attached to both my orbital sander and angle grinder that is equipped with a 120-grit flap disk. Typically, I would have to clean out my filter every 30 minutes to an hour because the fine dust collects around the filter in my shop vac, causing a loss in suction power. However, with the Mullet, I have experienced no such issue. The suction power has remained consistent throughout my work sessions without interruptions for maintenance.Overall, the "Mullet" has exceeded my expectations. Its ability to handle fine dust without sacrificing suction power has made it an invaluable addition to my workshop. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient dust collection solution.

Well thought out construction, great instructions. Works fantastic!
