Editorial Review:
Features a handy remote control that can be used to adjust the three speeds, timer and on/off. Quietly cleans and filters the air in your shop while you work. Filtering 98% of all particles 5 microns in size and 85% of all particles 1 micron in size. Use in conjunction with a JET dust collector for maximum dust control. Unit comes complete with eyebolts to either hang the machine from the ceiling or to sit on on a workbench. System features a convenient built in timer that can be set at 2, 4, or 8 hour increments. Turn the timer on when you enter the shop and forget about it. System will shut itself off at the hour interval you set. Constructed of a heavy-duty, powder coated metal box and powerful motor and fan for added durability. Comes standard with an electrostatic filter that is electronically charged to attract many more dust particles than other standard filters. Three speeds (550, 702, and 1044 CFM). Has the capability of filtering the air in a 20' x 20' x 8' shop in under five minutes. It can filter the air in that shop over 12 times an hour. Two easy grip handles are inset into both sides for ease of movement. Filters are easily replaceable, no tools required. The inner three pocket filter fits inside and can be blown out or washed out if preferred. Comes with sealed inner filter. Standard Equipment: Remote control; 5 micron prefilter; Electrostatic outer filter; 1 Micron inner filter; Eyebolts for hanging. 708733 Inner Filter; 708731 Electrostatic Outer Filter; 708732 Washable Electrostatic Outer Filter; 708734 Charcoal Filter.
A good filtration system is as important as any tool in your shop, and the Jet AFS-1000 is a pretty inspired machine. Like other systems on the market, Jet's uses a two-filter process: an outer filter removes particles up to 5 microns in size and an inner, three-pocket filter traps particles as small as 1 micron. The electrostatic outer filter easily withstands three or four washings, and the inner filter can be blown clean easily with compressed air. On the power end, Jet's three-speed, 1/6-horsepower motor filters to 1044 cfm on high speed. The outer filter is well sealed and provides efficient intake. However, what really sets the AFS-1000 apart from most filtration systems is its remote control and timer features. Since these systems are most effective when placed high or hung from the ceiling, being able to control all of the unit's functions via remote control is a feature we quickly decided we wouldn't want to live without. The timer, which can also be set via remote, affords you the option to set it and forget it. --Justin Paul

Jet AFS-1000B Only 4 stars due to the vibration from the squirrel cage. Not as bad as some have reported and pretty much goes away on medium and high. It does a good job filtering.
Terrible QC on the fan Another example of fine Chinese craftsmanship. The impeller on the fan was not perpendicular to the fan motor shaft; therefore, the thing vibrated like crazy due to the wobble. I ended up taking the entire assembly apart and truing the impeller myself, which took most of the vibration and excess noise out the unit. It sure seems like there should be better quality control, it makes me wonder how high the quality of the components are that I can't see. I imagine it will do an adequate job of filtering the... more info
Disposable filters the same size don't fit I bought this unit partly because I saw that I could purchase disposable filters at the local store the same size as Jet says they are 1x12x24. Well jet's filter is actually a half inch smaller in each direction as a normal filter is. In other words a standard filter of the same size doesn't fit. Not sure what I'm going to do at this point, probably will fabricate a transition frame to hold the"bigger" standard size. Jet wants $15 for their filter and the local store wants $4 for the standard size. I take... more info
value for money spent I like this air filtration system. It performs well, is not overly noisey, the remote is very convienient, and being able to set it to run and then turn off automatically after you leave the shop is very nice. It accepts readily available sized furnace filters, so that is easy on your wallet. My only complaint is that Jet doesn't pack the units very well for shipping. The first I ordered was damaged so badly the fan wouldn't turn. Return and replacement was quick and easy, thanks Amazon! The second unit was... more info
