I've had one of these DC3401 units for over a year. It's worked fairly well, but I will say it is underpowered for anything but the tiniest shops and really isn't a whole lot better than a shop vac. I just ordered the DC1300 unit. If you're considering the DC3401, I would suggest you get the next model up, the DC1300.
Nice set up. Wish I could put my dust collector outside my shop but up here in MN I end up with two concerns doing it both in winter involving heat. I'd lose a bunch via pumping the air outside and not sure what kind of vacuum it would create on the shop and if it would mess with the wood stove. In any case it looks like yours isn't outside outside just in another room so that's nice.

I only did it thus way because the shop is attached to the garage. Otherwise I'd be in the same boat as you in winter.
Keep us posted how it performs.
Will do
