Summary: Terrible design 2006-12-27
Comment: I purchased this design over a year ago. You have to push the hose through the opening and clamp it into place from the inside. You can fix this with sealant and pipe or like I did with duct tape which will leak. I recently found another one at Woodcraft that is made much better and has fittings that you clamp the hoses onto. Brilliant!
Save yourself a major headache and disappointment and buy the one from Woodcraft.

Summary: Useful only after a lot of rework 2005-01-19
Comment: This item, for it's price, was a big disappointment. For me the issue was not finding a suitable trashcan. (Found one at my local home improvement warehouse). My issue was the total lack of design consideration as far as vacuum leaks were concerned. The basic principal of this thing, I guess, was just to drop this thing on a trashcan stick two hoses IN the holes on the lid and just hope all the air leaks would not drop the efficiency of the system to the point that it would still move some dust.
After one look I decided that this thing needed some rework. The first thing I did was went to my local home improvement warehouse and picked up some PVC fittings that I could cut, grind, epoxy, and basically fabricate into 2 solid nipples that I could attach to the lid and clamp my 4" dust hoses onto. Then it was a simple matter of taking some black 3/8" weather stripping and applying it to the out side of the trashcan just under the rolled lip at the top. This provided a pretty good seal. All told all this stuff added an additional $20 to the cost of this product.
When my rework was complete the system works very well. 99% of the dust is trapped in the can making dumping the collector bag a very rare event. The vacuum efficiency is very good. To the point that if all my blast gates are closed it will actually start to collapse the sides of the steel can. Not a big deal but it might be a little worrisome if the dust collector and can are in the other room and you start to hear noises like a depth charge starting to implode.
There are other products out there for similar money that require no rework, Looks like woodcraft has a nice offering (Part #143290), but I have not been able to locate it on Amazon yet.
Hope this was useful.

Summary: Quality 2004-10-04
Comment: I am dissapointed. My experience with Grizzly and Wood Stock has been pleasant until today. The issue is quality and price. This particular item has been a free gift from Grizzly in the past when you purchase a Dust Collector. It appeared to be a good idea, and it still is. I would not pay anymore than the bargain price. This is truely a "You get what you pay for situation." The lid is flimsy and I expected a male or female connector for hose attachment as with a shop vacuum. I tire of having to modify and improve upon a manufacturers product.
To me durability is important and I buy quality products from various manufacturers. I would not pay full price for this. I will modify it and make it fit. The problem is when I have to remove debris from the separator can. My experience with other products that are this flimsy is they must soon be replaced.
When I have more time I will make my own. Two accurate circular cuts in a "solid" lid and two adaptors.

Summary: no wonder it was on sale 2004-07-15
Comment: I purchased two cyclone seperators, one for each dust collector,so far,I cannot find a 30 gal or any other garbage can for which to get a snug fit. I worked so hard to get my dust collection system air tight that I can't see using a device where the 4"hoses fit so loosely that you can see light around the connections and the lid is totally loose around the all the cans I tried. There are no instructions or tips to seal this device and if you try to return it you incur a restocking fee.
