Default rockler dust collector

I have a homemade dust collector that has been perfect for me for the last 8 years. Picture your hands working on a carving in a 3x3 foot lexaan box using a power tool and no dust going to your breathing zone.

Now I need to be more mobile in my shop, enter the thought of the rockler. Reviews rate it 4-5 star but they come from wood workers, those guys using big power tools and building furniture and such. As a carver of wood, do you have a rockler? and will it keep dust away from nose/ears and mouth?
Comments are greatly appreciated.

Have you looked at the Pennstate Industries collectors? I have their small portable unit for table top or work bench. I have had it for about 3 years and have been real happy with it.

Thanks for the quick reply RandyI looked at the Pennstatedc660. Do you think the large dust hood, resting on top of a beanch and me working a dremel with a sanding band, would pull all thst dust in? or, what if I mount it in the bench or about 24" above the bench ?

thanks for the help
