Performance Tests: Real-Time Review

I tested the dust collector's suction power at all three levels, using glitter, acrylic dust from filing, and a more extreme scenario of directly using it while shaping my nails. I also used a new nail drill to generate dust for testing.

The highest suction setting excelled, capturing even fine glitter without any loss. The medium setting proved effective for most standard filing tasks, but lower level did lose some dust. The 'extreme' test of shaping directly under the collector produced a small but manageable amount of stray dust. The noise level was acceptable.

While a small amount of dust escaped during the less powerful setting and the extreme test, overall the performance is very good. The ease of use and cleaning are significant advantages.
