Item : B00005A1K8 Customer Reviews Needs to be improved by .. terry Nielsen () This tool does reduce the amount of sanding dust. However, the lid is too flimsey and my vacuum litterally sucked it into the bucket. I had the air bleed almost all of the way open to reduce the pull of the lid but even the lid on a bucket of drywall compound or kitty litter is heavier than this weak thing. If your building a product used by the construction trades then make it out of construction grade materials and not the cheapest bucket you can find. I will convert an empty 5 gallon paint bucket to replace this one. Dustless drywall sander by .. Sam (Arizona) After sanding half a room and getting dust everwhere throughout the house I bought the MT800 system. It worked exactly as advertised although if you had several rooms or a tight deadline you might consider some help. I give this a big 2 thumbs up. great dust control for the diyer by .. Charles (Burlington, VT United States) I bought this about 5 years ago, used it, and put it away. I just got it down for a room renovation. I was impressed 5 years ago, and I am impressed today. I discovered it hooked up nicely to my random orbit sander (with a bit of tape) and I now have a super fast drywall sander. The orbit sander does overwhelm the system a bit. That is, after sanding the room is thick with dust. However, I have discovered that 80+% of the dust is going into the vacuum. At the end of a day of sanding there will be 3 inches of drywall guck in the bottom of the tank. That's the one drawback: How do you dispose of a gallon of wet drywall mud? However, note that I said you could sand all day without checking things. If you use this correctly the vacuum filter will not clog. In fact, I used this for completely mudding a fairly large room, changed the water in the tank about 4 times, and never checked the shop vac until I was cleaning up (that's when I discovered the 1/2 inch of water in the bottom of the tank.) For complainers about it clogging up: Read the directions. If you over fill the tank you WILL come to grief, and your hose WILL clog. If you follow the directions this won't happen. By the way, the first time you use it it will look wrong. I expected the tube to be under water. It isn't. When properly filled the inlet is just above the water. Apparently this keeps the bubbling down. Please, however, use a wet/dry vacuum on it. Remember the 1/2 inch of water in the bottom of my vac. Bottom line: This is the single most cost effective drywall sanding system I have seen for the occasional user and the diy-er. My feeling is that it would drive a professional crazy after about a week, but then they can justify a $300 drywall vac. Screams Like A Banshee by .. Larry Darnell (Cypress, TX USA) I should have heeded the warnings of other reviewers regarding the noise level of this device. It may be very effective at removing the dust, but I just can't deal with the noise. I suffer from tinnitus and when this thing began to scream, I thought I was going into orbit! No thank-you, I'd rather deal with the dust. pleased with performance till it broke by .. Robert L. Brammer () I was extremely pleased with the Sand and Klean Machine because it kept the sheetrock dust under control. This is totally essentual when remodling a house while you are still living in it. However, I was truly disappointed when the handle on the sanding block broke off in my hand. It worked great when I used it on the hallway,the family room,the hall pantry,the hall bath and even the master bath until the handle broke off in my hand while sanding the last wall of the master bathroom. Is it possible to get another one sent to me as soon as possible so that I can finish this room without createing a bunch of air born dust? I am awaiting your response.
