I have the 5 gallon bucket and cyclone and it works OK. It's amazing how much dust you create with planners, saws and routers. I always use an N95 rated dust mask, eye protection and hearing protection. I used 1/2 garage for the shop and keep moving things around to get the car in if bad weather is coming. Both items, larger dust collector and drum sander do take up a lot of room. I only have one 20-amp circuit and keep reading people keep tripping the breaker with their dust collection system. So, I think, if I go either one will need to add another circuit. I do have room in the electrical box to add one and the run isn't that bad. Just more expense and time.
