SHOP FOX W1727 vs POWERTEC DC5370 Wall Mounted Dust Collector

The SHOP FOX W1727 makes for an outstanding Dust Collector at $439. The POWERTEC DC5370 Wall Mounted Dust Collector, however, while overall a good product for its asking price, doesn't quite manage to stand out from its competition - there are better Dust Collectors that can be found for around $330 available here.

Popular Mechanics, a review site with a history of doing objective hands-on testing, has great things to say about the SHOP FOX W1727. In fact, it's "Best Midsized Model" in its "The 8 Best Dust-Collection Systems for Your Garage or Home Workshop" roundup, which points toward it being a good Dust Collector.

Taking a look at the POWERTEC DC5370 Wall Mounted Dust Collector, we found that it hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a spot in any Dust Collector roundups done by sources that conduct their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it difficult to recommend.

As a last step, we wanted to do a head-to-head SHOP FOX W1727 vs. POWERTEC DC5370 Wall Mounted Dust Collector comparison of their review performance but, unfortunately, weren't able to find any review ratings on either product.
