Well maybe? I just bought a Harbor Freight 2hp DC from a fellow worker for $50 (the gloat:D). I know the hp is overrated and really about 1.5hp. I have a few questions for you all.
1. He had trouble with it kicking out his breaker. Do you think a dedicated 15a circuit will work or do I need a 20a?
2. I'm going to replace the filter bags before using based on what I have read around here. I'm looking at PSI 1 micron bags ($75), HF 1 micron cannister filter w/ paddle ($170), or the 0.5micron cannister from Wynn ($120ish). Does anyone have any experience with the HF cannister? The Wynn doesn't have a cleaning paddle so how do you guys clean it?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dale
