Remodeling: Editors note: Usually, our What I Like section focuses one remodeler's good experience with a new or tried-and-true product. When we reached out to remodelers for their “What I Like” suggestions for our April issue, no less than a third of the replies we received referred to the same product. That many remodelers can't be wrong. Here's what four of them have to say about the BuildClean dust control system in this special edition of "What We Like."

I was ready to criticize this product on the grounds that it is only as good as the guy that plugs the dust cord into the vacuum cleaner, but I think that a system like this is actually really cool. I know that in some workspaces they try to set up negative pressure environments so that fine dust does not escape to other areas of the house or jobsite, but I really like the idea of having a filtration system that works on cleaning the particulate out of the air before it settles. I don’t think that a system like this would eliminate the need to wear a dust mask while cutting through drywall or other materials, but it does seem like it would be a relief not to have to wear a mask all the time in a room. I would like to see data about how well it can prevent widespread dust settling on furniture or fixtures across a room, as that would be very helpful. It does not seem like it would be too hard to have a similar system in the shop, or buy one of these units for when we are working in the theaters.
I love this idea. I always saw renovations needing those huge tubes running through the houses in order to keep the air and house relatively clean, but these systems seem cumbersome to put in and take out, along with the job already being done in the house. However, this cute little air filter reminds me of the one I have for my allergies (which is cuter only because it is shaped like a penguin) and I see a lot of benefits in this system. As Chris said, ‘criticize this product on the grounds that it is only as good as the guy that plugs the dust cord into the vacuum cleaner’ which is true in the sense that this thing is only good if someone turns it on and knows how to take care of it. The device itself doesn’t seem to need much maintenance, but I can see it taking a back seat in importance on job sites.
