Summary: Adequate for it's intended purpose
Comment: I just moved into a larger shop with a house attached. I purchased this unit for some specific remodel work (refinishing wood floors, etc) and for my newer larger wood working machines. It has performed perfectly as a vacuum and poor mans air cleaner for, so far, about 100 hours of use.
The assembly instructions are meant for two people. If you are alone, use the styrofoam packing for the motor unit turned upside down and assemble in reverse of the enclosed instructions. Do NOT tighten all screws until after final assembly. Use the cross brace as a stiffener to keep the legs rigid during the assembly process.
Minor pet peeve: the included hardware required 1/2" and 13mm wrenches for assembly contrary to what all the literature says.
As indicated by another reviewer, the included hose is fairly useless for practical work. The unit is intended for single tool use in proximity to the dust port. Do not expect this to be the foundation for dozens of yards of ducting in your shop. That said, it serves a small hobbyist shop like mine with only four major power tools with about 40 feet of ducting--with lots of blast gates.

Summary: It's a good value but you get what you pay for
Comment: I bought this dust collector because my shop vac was having a tough time keeping up with my Jet contractor saw. It appears this is the replacement model for the AP400 with a couple nice upgrades. First the finer filter bag. So far the 1 micron bag seems to be working well for me. I have not been noticing any dust being kicked back into the air. I like the see through plastic bags. This makes it very obvious when it's time to empty them. The unit is attractive and the build quality is reasonable, not great but then again it's the bottom of the line unit.
Being this is my first real dust collector I don't have much to compare it with but there are things I would think could be better. First off the 4 foot hose is useless to hook up to anything. It's just way to short. Why delta couldn't have included a 6 foot or even 5 foot hose it beyond me. The included 4 foot barely hits the floor, let alone is suitable to attach to any machine. The assembly directions are hard to follow. I expected this would take about 20 min to assemble. After misassembling the base twice and dealing with getting all the screws aligned properly I wasted over an hour and half that Delta can't give me back. Once I got it assembled it made a strange sound and I realized the metal grate over the motor housing was bent in shipping. I bent it back and it ran fine. Delta also shorted me a could bolts which I picked up locally.
The operating instructions are also a joke. They basically say if you're not familiar with this machine go ask your instructor or boss. Not that helpful for the home hobbiest who I would think it the target for this unit.
650cfm appears to be enough for my table saw, planer and router table provided I attach only one machine at a time. If I had the budget or the wiring I would have opted for a higher cfm, but this appears to be sufficient and the price is right.
