    If they are the ones with a round top they are a hit or miss. You have a 50/50 chance of getting one that actually works. I went through 3 before getting one that worked properly and that was only because it was replaced and not refunded.

    I wouldn't use them to collect dust ... but that's just me.

    Agreed, but couldn't get my money back. So now it sits in a drawer collecting dust(approx. 2 years), don't want to use it and don't want to give my problems to anyone else.

    I know EXACTLY what you mean. My dust collectors went out during my last spring cleaning.
