I spotted one that is almost new (he replaced with a JET) for $110 with remote and manual. Normally sells for $229. I have a small shop (16' X 10') and really haven't even thought about an air cleaner. Anyone have any thoughts on this? It's about a 45 minute drive so if I value my time at $50/hr I will break even with just ordering a new one.

For your size shop, the Rikon 400 should suffice. I have 2 of the smaller Wen / Powertec models in my 20×20 shop. It definitely works as the filters get clogged up quite often. 45 min drive is like nothing down here in FL. Feels like everything is 45 minutes so if your time is valued at that much, then yeah, get a new one with warranty.

I wasn't really worried about but as I was working on my french cleat wall this past weekend there was a fine layer of dust everywhere. It was the first time I had done like 50 repetitive cuts. If didn't help that my dust collection had gotten clogged at some point. I think the WEN should meet my needs at an affordable price.
