I put this on a 5 gallon bucket and it works great. I have made several projects and I checked the vacuum which is a Craftsman 16 gallon and the bag has very little in it and the filter is very clean also. I do not have a big work shop just a garage with a few tools so this is just what I needed to help keep the dust down and from what I am seeing now I may be able to drastically cut down on the amount of bags I use. It is a bit cumbersome until I figure out a way to get the bucket on wheels so I can move it around better but well worth the money spent.

I'm a finish carpenter with a small garage shop I use for some built-in projects that are easier to do from a shop than on-site. Currently in the middle of a shop re-do with the goal of having a more efficient small space, and to utilize my 14 gal Shop-vac better for dust collection. Eventually, I will hard pipe in the Dust Deputy, but for now built a "prototype" roll-away cart for it. Not the prettiest thing in the world, but it does what I need with the added bonus of giving me a bit of storage space (though the drawers I intend to build into will have to wait). (See pic) I have been using the Rockler DustRight separator for a few years now. Nothing necessarily wrong with that system, but it was not nearly efficient enough for me, and had the added issue of being less efficient the more the bin filled up. So, after doing some research, I decided on the Oneida Dust Deputy and bought the kit that has the hardware, gasket, and a hose. In retrospect, knowing what I know now, I would have just bought the bare cyclone, and saved a few bucks. The hose is cheap, and virtually useless to me. The hardware didn't work for my application, and I know how to make gaskets. If you are going to just use a 5-gallon bucket, then the kit I bought would be worth it. I wanted a little more capacity for chips than a 5-gallon bucket would give me. I won't bore you with build details on the cart. I combined/changed some ideas I had seen on YouTube, and built what I wanted. Something to consider, however, when you put things together. First and foremost - as Oneida has in their instructions - make sure your connections are tight and the system is as leak free as possible. Every single little leak will effect the way the cyclone works. Before I took the weekend to build what I did, I just made a lid for my Dust Right container, clamped it on, and used the Shop-Vac hose. The Dust Deputy wasn't performing much better than the Dust Right had been at that point, because I had some leakage around the lid, and most of the leakage at the actual Shop-Vac hose. With the system as built right now, this thing is well above 95% efficient at dropping it into the container, and not my Shop-Vac bag. If I were to put this on a 5-gallon bucket, I would consider devising some sort of structure to support the cyclone as the plastic flange at the bottom is a bit thin and I would be concerned with it breaking at that point. My Shop-vac has the 2-1/4 hose and fittings, as does the flexible hose I reused from my old Dust Right system, and these fittings snugly fit onto the Dust Deputy. The inlet and outlet areas are tapered, and though I haven't tried them, suspect my smaller jobsite Shop-Vac fittings would fit as well. The actual review? I've never used one of the knock-off cyclones so I can't compare it those. Compared with my old Dust Right system, this one is head and shoulders better. As I've already said, it is well over 95% (estimation only, I know how full my bag got before this) efficient. I reused the Dust Right container (after gluing a foam window insulation seal around the edge of it) and it is about half full right now. This is when I began to see blow by from that old system. No signs of it right now with the Deputy. I've also noticed this set-up has improved the dust collection of my Delta 36-725 table saw (which if you are familiar with those, you know the dust collection ain't the greatest). Overall, I am very happy and satisfied with my purchase. Are they more expensive than the knock offs? Yep. Imo, though, these are the real deal.

I put this inline on a small drum before my shop vac. it helps my shop vac last much longer when cleaning up very fine powder. It does the truck and can be put to allot of other uses like in a wood shop vac system

I've got this connected to a 6-gallon bucket and I've filled the bucket 3 times with no noticeable gain in the amount of dust in the shop vac body or filter. So they aren't kidding when they say the dust deputy keeps 99% of the dust out of the vacuum. In my case, one bucket of sawdust came from the Paint Shaver Pro (highly recommended) which produces larger particles of wood or even splinters up to 1" long on some older deck boards. The remaining buckets came from 24 grit and 60 grit sandpaper. I only knock this thing a star because it's $50 for a piece of plastic and that's kind of crazy. Yeah, it's supposed to be fancy anti-static plastic, but it still develops static and I find a little dust sticking to the outside. Also, the base on mine was warped so there are a couple 1/8" gaps when you set it on a flat surface. Adding caulk as per instructions takes care of that, but for $50 I kind of expect no flaws like a warped base. I'm also not entirely happy about them putting a "male" end on both air intake and exhaust. If you connect a 2.5" hose to the air intake, you end up pulling your material past a narrower point that's about 1.6" interior diameter and you may create a clog there. Not a problem if you're only creating dust but long splinters or other large things can be a problem. In my case, I stuck the 1.5" shop vac hose inside the dust deputy intake tube and duct taped it in place, so none of my material goes through a narrower point and I never got a clog. If you don't have a 5 mil thick plastic bucket available or you aren't sure your local hardware store carries 5 mil, it may be worth buying the "deluxe" dust deputy for $30 more. I had a 5 gallon bucket from Lowes laying around which had no thickness indicated and it promptly collapsed when I tried to use it with the Dust Deputy. The local hardware store had only 0.7 mil plastic buckets, so I was forced to buy a metal bucket for $20. In retrospect I may have been able to buy a couple 0.7mil buckets and nest the three together to get something strong enough (maybe) but I didn't think of that. Then it took 3 hours to get the handle removed from the metal lid and get holes cut/drilled (I don't have good tools for metal work) and after waiting overnight for caulk to dry the vacuum suction was poor. I found some gaps in the bucket side seams (could hear them with the vacuum running) so had to caulk them and I added soft weather stripping beneath the lid. I held the weather strip with just a few squares of thin double-sided tape since I didn't really expect it to work. The vacuum pulled the lid down, making it concave instead of convex, but it did the job. Note that the latex (Big Stretch) caulk I used did not cure enough overnight to prevent it from getting pulled into the bucket at two points, so I had to redo those points. Even 5 days later there is still a bit of white caulk visible (it turns clear when cured) because it gets squished down into a wide area where most of it is far from the air it needs to cure. So follow the directions and only use a narrow line of caulk and wait until it's completely cured if possible. Or use the recommended silicone caulk. Or buy the deluxe kit which includes gaskets and I don't think caulking is required. Having two buckets in the deluxe kit lets you move the lid with dust deputy attached from the full bucket to the empty bucket instead of detaching hoses from the deputy or dragging hoses out along with your full bucket. Simply setting the lid down while you empty the bucket is not a great option because a thick layer of sawdust will stick underneath the lid (due to static, I guess) and large amounts can fall off when you set the lid down. I have a feeling my contraption still leaks a little under the lid and that I would get better suction from a tighter-sealing container. The instructions describe creating a DIY lid out of plywood by routing out a groove around the edge and putting "gasket" rubber into the groove. I don't have a router so that's not an easy option, and they also don't mention how to hold this lid in place. I guess weight and vacuum suction, but that sounds too easy to dislodge when the vacuum is off. Note that one advantage of using a metal bucket is that its weight prevents the system from easily tipping, and the one I bought is a lot shorter and wider than a typical 5 gallon plastic bucket so that also helps. A disadvantage of the metal bucket is you can't see how full it is, but even letting dust accumulate to about 2" from the base of the deputy didn't stop it from working. You'll start seeing more material swirling around the base of the deputy when the bucket is nearly full so that's a decent warning (although not entirely reliable as even a half-full bucket can exhibit some stuff swirling around the base - I also theorize that could be a symptom of having an air leak).
