Jet now provides a benchtop, but you can hang it as well, air filtration unit. What’s nice is that it includes a remote control.
The new JET AFS-400 Air Filtration unit can either be hung from the ceiling by four hooks to save shop space or be used as benchtop. This little powerhouse cleans and circulates air in a 20’ x 20’ x 8’ shop, 7 cycles per hour to provide you with a cleaner, healthier shop environment. Three speeds 260, 362, and 409 CFM allow you to choose the most efficient air filtration for your shop. The remote control with built-in timer settings for 2, 4 and 8 hours will shut off automatically at the end of the designated time, cleaning the air in your shop even while you are away.
