Great review Karl and a great addition to your shop. I've had a JET version of the same thing for over a year and the most important thing it does is clean the dust you can't see that would otherwise be in your lungs, rather than on the shelves. It clears smoke from burning blunt saws quickly and saves your lungs massively especially if you're using MDF and the like. Runs for hours and you can clean the first dust filter with the shop vac or compressed air. Cheers.
Good review Karl. I installed one of these in my workshop early part of January, really pleased with it. I placed mine in a similar location to yours, but on a shelf as I don’t have enough height for it to hang.
Great review, Karl. I ordered the unit today before I saw your video, and I am pleased to know that £177 is worth every penny with regards to my lings. Cheers!
Great bit of kit Karl 👍 Even if I could afford one I have zero head space in the workshop. Suppose if I came into some money I could make a pitched roof so I could fit one 💷🏠😀👍 Take care David 🙂👍
Looks a useful addition to the shop. Would be interesting to do a review on what catches more dust, the extractor or your beard 🤣. Seriously though, it's something we should all invest in.
Thanks for the review. I have had this model on my wish list for a while. In the meantime I have bought myself one of those cheap (~£30) Air Quality Detectors from ebay after seeing one on a different channel. Hopefully it will keep reminding me that I should still buy a filter.
@@karlpopewoodcraft After seeing Peter Millard repairing his air quality sensor in an old video (ua-cam.com/video/1Xwmw6EZUOQ/v-deo.html) I now notice them in the background of many peoples workshops on UA-cam. It would be interesting to see how much of a difference your air filter makes on returning a workshop back to normal levels after another good clean or some heavy sanding or spraying.
As a guy with C.O.P.D and an I.L.D I can't emphasize how important your lungs are. Your capabilities are diminished big time with lung disease. Dust extraction system next mate. A cost breakdown may be informative mate. Nice one
Great review buddy i have one of those on my list for when i build my new workshop defiantly a worth while investment especially with young Jakob in there helping. 👍
I had mine for about three months before it stopped working. Record said it was a remote problem and sent me a new one. it still didn't work so they sent me a PCB to fit myself! That didn't work so in the end they sent me a replacement and I returned my broken unit. Now I've had it for a couple of years and bit by bit, after the warranty period it has slowly developed problems, went fro multi speed to only one speed and has now stopped working! So I'm looking for another manufacturer. Any suggestions?
Hi Stephen I was under the impression all these where probably made in the same factory but badged differently I'm not sure as this is our first air filter to use. 🤔😔😊
Hi mate quality of air wise most definitely does a cracking job. Remote is a bit cheap and you need to be in direct line of site for it to work but overall I'm happy I have it.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Thanks, think I'm going to go for it, it's one of the cheapest units (200€) that isn't a gadget from amazon and that I can find, for the price it seems perfect for a small workshop.
After a couple of hours of heavy sanding last night, I woke up feeling awful and could feel the impact it had on my lungs. Ordered the Record Power this morning so looking forward to it arriving and making my shop, hopefully, a healthier place to work. Great vid, thanks!
Looks like a great bit of kit Karl. Nothing better than a dust free shop😁. Which reminds me... I must clean my filters... every time I turn mine on all I can smell is paint fumes from a previous project 🤔. Thanks for the video 😁👍
hi buddy just found your channel and subbed you i was searching for the record power ac 400 and found the channel also i noticed your tats and thought hes ex army and i was correct i think it was the black panther that made me think that keep up the great uploads stay safe from another ex infantry man cheers buddy.
Hi Chris honestly i wouldn't be without it. The remote is garbage though as you need to be directly upfront of the control panel. Definitely helps massively though with keeping the air clean.
Hi Karl I spent an age deciding whether to get an air cleaner, but this has made up my mind - probably 10 years late! Isn't strange that we no longer accept what was perfectly normal a few years ago.
Nice! I've had an eye on these for quite some time, but never taken the leap as I was dubious about performance. Seems to be pretty good though. Ha ha, love that Jakob casually saunters in the very second you finished struggling with it on your own. lol
Haha ye I balanced it on my head trying to put it up whilst he's sat on the loo on his phone 🤣 seems to be working really well at the moment Pete cleaned out the filter today after cutting and sanding lots of mdf and if was really dirty so collected lots and a quick blow off outside with the katsu leaf blower and as good as new. 😊
Cheers Fred, ye definitely money well invested in mine and the kids health, as the kids are coming in more regularly I need to think about their health as well 😊
Thanks Karl... I have the Katsu leaf blower thanks to your recommendation. I am 6ft 5" so this unit won't fit in my workshop but with the leaf blower and a stupidly powerful 12" industrial extractor fitted in the wall I am able to de-dust the workshop and send dust into the atmosphere. But that was a fab review of a quality air cleaner. Cheers Paul
Hi Karl great informative video. I had a look at one of these a few years back and was quite costly. I don't want to put a price on my health but in the future I will consider buying 1. Keep safe mate and all the best, Davy
Everyone as a budget though Davy, I probably wouldn't of got one if I wasn't in there everyday and especially with Jakob and Lilie helping out so much its a must 😊
Enjoyed the video, nice one! I've never considered anything like this before. How much do they cost? Also, does it run off mains power and if it does, how long is the power cable?
Cheers mate, I paid 180 from the supplier I mentioned in the video, if you shut down the power to your workshop it will shut down, the cable is 1.5m. Definitely a good investment on your health if its in your budget 🙂

Good review gents 👏👍

Cheers mate, I'm pretty sure it doesn't really matter that much but definitely better off with one of these even if it's not ideally located. 😊
@@karlpopewoodcraft absolutely, it seems to be doing its job well as that first filter ain’t so white any more, guess I should clean it this week 😂.
Great review, Karl. I ordered the unit today before I saw your video, and I am pleased to know that £177 is worth every penny with regards to my lings. Cheers!
Mine is still going strong every single day.
Thank' for the video Karl, I'm thinking about getting one. Take care mate
Cheers Shaun, have mine running most the day. My dust collection isn't great so this helps with the airborne stuff.
Great bit of kit Karl 👍 Even if I could afford one I have zero head space in the workshop. Suppose if I came into some money I could make a pitched roof so I could fit one 💷🏠😀👍
Take care David 🙂👍
Cheers David, under a workbench would be better than nothing mate. 😊
Looks a useful addition to the shop. Would be interesting to do a review on what catches more dust, the extractor or your beard 🤣. Seriously though, it's something we should all invest in.
Haha I normally have to hoover it out a couple of times a day 😂 the beard 😉

Really I'm interested in testing my air quality 😏 thanks mate 😊

Cheers Glenn ye I'm definitely not taking my current health for granted 😏 I'm now in the process of rigging everything up to a vac. 😊
Hello thank you for your video. I'm thinking to buy one. Is it any good? Doe's it reduces the dust on work surfaces and tools. Thanks
Hi Tomas yes it's excellent at helping to keep the air clean.
Great review buddy i have one of those on my list for when i build my new workshop defiantly a worth while investment especially with young Jakob in there helping. 👍
Ye that's exactly why I got it😊 but obviously I don't want bad lungs as well 😔😄

Are you happy with it a few months later ? I'm currently considering buying one.

If you follow this link mate ill get a few penny's from Amazon as well. 😊
On the wish list for this year. I clean out my workshop the exact same way :P
I think it's the best way, I have to do it before painting furniture then go back after 30mins when all has settled.
Good review Karl, I was imagining you empty the vac over junior and making him stand in front of it for an hour.
I do that in the next video 😂
Great review mate, i've always had one of these on my Christmas list!
Cheers mate Definitely worth the money to keep your lungs safe.
After a couple of hours of heavy sanding last night, I woke up feeling awful and could feel the impact it had on my lungs. Ordered the Record Power this morning so looking forward to it arriving and making my shop, hopefully, a healthier place to work. Great vid, thanks!
I always have a shop vac attached and the air filter on, I probably should still wear a dust mask but don't unless it's a very dusty job. 🤧
Turners retreat 👍
Looks like a great bit of kit Karl. Nothing better than a dust free shop😁. Which reminds me... I must clean my filters... every time I turn mine on all I can smell is paint fumes from a previous project 🤔. Thanks for the video 😁👍
Cheers Frank, get them sorted mate😉😊
That looks a good well worth investment Karl. You've proved it works. Good demonstration, it will save your lungs long term. Tony
Cheers Tony, ye hopefully 😊

Nice addition Karl & in a confined workspace it plays a major part as in winter having the door open is not the best idea, carry on good man 🔨🔨👍👍🎥🎥
Cheers Dirk, ye your definitely right mate.
Just ordered one from Record Power - how good is it after nearly ten months?
Hi Chris honestly i wouldn't be without it. The remote is garbage though as you need to be directly upfront of the control panel. Definitely helps massively though with keeping the air clean.
Hi Karl
I spent an age deciding whether to get an air cleaner, but this has made up my mind - probably 10 years late!
Isn't strange that we no longer accept what was perfectly normal a few years ago.
Nice review mate, ive also looked at these but i think my workshop is lower then yours
Stick it in your workbench mate, when you redesign the workshop factor this in. 😊
Nice! I've had an eye on these for quite some time, but never taken the leap as I was dubious about performance. Seems to be pretty good though.
Ha ha, love that Jakob casually saunters in the very second you finished struggling with it on your own. lol

Very helpful video. My Record Power AC400 arrives later today and your video confirms what a great compact air filter this is.
Still running strong mate, even with the same filters. I just blow them out.
nice review, got one running as well since about 5 months. can't imagine work without it anymore. 👍
Cheers mate, I'm noticing a better air quality even without a meter reader. 😊
I hope you have a good'un !!!
Cheers Stephen. 🍻
So 12 months on what are your thoughts? Thank You 🙏
No issues apart from the obvious fence mate, really good little machine.
@@karlpopewoodcraft fence??
Hi Karl. An excellent addition to your workshop and at £180/190 a good buy, health and safety must always come first. Regards, Fred
Cheers Fred, ye definitely money well invested in mine and the kids health, as the kids are coming in more regularly I need to think about their health as well 😊
Bostin review Karl,with my lungs operating at a very low efficiency this would be a godsend
Definitely Steve, we have to keep looking after our health as much as possible 😊
Nice review, do you have any dust extraction for use with your machines Karl?
Hi Mike I now have everything rigged up to a shop vac, dust/chip collector. 😊
This looks like an awesome addition to your shop and it’s always great when you can make things a little safer during projects!
Thanks mate, definitely the way to go for our health 😊
Great review Karl. Now wishing I’d put more head height in my workshop!
Cheers Steve, you can attach it under your workbench as well. 😊
Thanks Karl... I have the Katsu leaf blower thanks to your recommendation.

Haha excellent mate😂 I wish the leaf blower had a longer lead though 😬 6.5 wow really tall.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Just the right height to be working down a pit as a Coal Face Mechanic for 20 years...ha ha
@@paultay23 really 🙄 bloody hell you must have a stiff next. 😂
Had one of these up a while now really great bit of kit and the bit you left out runs remarkably quite 👌
Yes indeed Liam it is quite isn't it. I tend to miss things on these so much to try and remember 😩😊

... but probably a small price to pay for breathing cleaner air and looking after my lungs though!
If it’s your business and you’re in the workshop all day, then definitely worth the investment
@@stevereed5776 yes, definitely! I'm just a hobby woodworker though, but would still consider one of these, if I've got the headroom.
