These days, clean air is a must for any shop. JET's three-speed air filtration system is a great buy for a midsize shop, cycling all the air in a 40-by-40-by-10-foot room up to 14 times in one hour. Unlike many of the competing products, JET's air cleaner comes with a remote control, allowing you to turn it on and off, or switch from low to medium to high, from anywhere in your shop. (This is especially handy if you mount your system to an out-of-the-way section of ceiling, where it might not be so easy to reach.) JET's air cleaner also has a built-in timer with settings of two, four, and eight hours. You can leave the system on and go to bed and it will turn itself off while you sleep. You'll also be pleased with how quiet this system is. Even when set on high, the noise is comparable to that of a standard floor fan blowing through a living room. It's really just background white noise, and isn't a distraction at all. The system's three filters--an electrostatic filter, the eight-bag inner filter, and the diffuser filter--combine to remove 99 percent of all particles 5 microns in size and 85 percent of particles 1 micron in size. The end result is a shop that's a lot healthier to breathe in, which lets you worry about more important things, such as the woodworking project at hand. --Jon Groebner
