Ive narrowed it down to these 2 and the costs are close but at the max on what i can spend for a DC. Who knows if the advertised CFM is anywhere close to accurate but the impeller is bigger on the Laguna, the amp draw is more and SP is higher so i can only assume that the Laguna is the more powerful machine. They also show how they come up with the CFM and SP and a chart, so that was helpful…sometimes the Jet stuff you have to dig for info, which is funny….ie: "Jet Cyclone's two stage separation provides more working CFM than comparable horsepower single stage units" and then proceeds not to tell you the CFM and you have to look elsewhere other than their website to find it…. says CFM is 1963 but in manual 1963 is EU method and not US method, so apples to apples CFM is only 1240 CFM vs 1624 with Laguna? So confusing when companies do this. Also the Jet lineup has a short cone setup which apparently isnt as efficient getting rid of only the fine dust to the small back bag and dumping the small bag occurs alot more than people would like from what ive seen… Like i said earlier id assume bigger impeller, bigger amp draw and higher SP would lend the Laguna tops on performance…downside is 2 yr laguna warranty vs Jet 5 yr and i have heard Laguna customer service can be shaky sometimes. Shop size is 30×30 but not using the whole shop….will have 2 mostly straight runs (using one run at a time not simultaniously) of about 20-25 ft with Y drops to machines, minimal use of flex hose only to the ports .
