Hi Andrew, before I saw this video, I had already planned on purchasing the G700. I already knew most of what you stated — I have a friend who has one. However, the one thing I was unaware of was the caster situation. Not only do I have to squirm my current dust collector back and forth, but side-to-side as well. Having to "steer" the new one would have been a bit of a disappointment. Today, I talked with the folks at Harvey and asked them if it would be possible to retrofit the unit with swivel casters. He said, "Yes, several of our customers have done that." What I needed to do was to order two "G700 Castor Wheels @ $13 each. He did mention that, for reasons that I've not seen yet, I will probably have to adjust the height with several washers. So, you, too, can change your G700 to swivel as it rolls (and hopefully not shake).

My dust collection system consists of a Harbor Freight dust pan and broom. Kudos to the guy with a garage shop who can afford a gizmo like that.

I've had my G700 for a little over 3 years now and it's worked great thus far (it replaced a JET 2HP cyclone). I've never run it at full power (maybe 3/4 at most) and notice no problems with suction. One other con I've experienced is getting a really good seal on the dust bin when emptying/replacing the bags. Even after cleaning everything well, my particulate meter would start having a fit while the G700 was running. I've started putting the removable gaskets, that normally sit on the metal bin and under the collection bags, over the bags instead. The seal is perfectly air tight every time now.

The gentleman on Next Level Carpentry (YouTube) was the first time I heard of the Harvey Dust collector. He has some unique handling of the duct work for this system and has effectively dealt with its unique challenges. There are a couple of videos about it.

Thanks for the updated review. Your sentiments are similar to mine. Putting my shop in the basement, right under the living room made dust collection a must and noise a huge consideration. The option was to spend $X on a loud cyclone system or spend $2X on the Harvey. The whole time knowing that if I bought the cyclone, I would probably have spent another $X for soundproofing. Glad I did. My first Harvey purchase was the Harvey Alpha table saw, then the Harvey Ambasadore bandsaw and finally the G700. Haven't regretted a single penny.

Thank you for sharing, your experience with the Harvey G700 dust extractor. Seems like a great machine due to size and ease of use. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

Pretty impressive machine indeed, James! 😃 Thanks a bunch for the long term review and all the info! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

I've had my G700 for a little over two years and only have positive comments for the unit. The mobility, the quiet, ease of emptying the bin, the remote. But the biggest factor for me was the form factor. The ability to slide it in and out from under the bench that is 9" longer than the machine, that was the kicker. I've never looked back.

Thanks for the long term ( road trip ) review Stumpy. It sounds like a fabulous machine with very few drawbacks. I always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. 😊😊😊❤❤❤

Thanks for the video. This is a fantastic unit! I have had my G700 for over a year now, and it is invaluable. I would highly recommend for anyone in the market. I am also someone who only has one 220v circuit (dual outlet, 30 amp) and am able to run this along with my other 220 equipment. Powerful, efficient, and quiet.

I have a big collector and hate the noise. It is also 220v 15A. I've been drooling over the Harvey for years. Thanks for this update! Looks like I'm making the switch.

Stumpy, great review. I also have the G700 in my hobby shop. You touched on something that I am struggling with and that is that the inlet is on the front of the machine. I have no choice but to put a 90 elbow right out the machine. Even then with 6" pipe it still sticks out further into the room then I like. I would suggest the true footprint is now nearly 4' x 5'. I wish they had put it on the end of the machine opposite the filters. My other complaint is that when planing something light like red cedar the dust side of the bins fills faster than the chip side. By the time that the alarm goes off, the alarm is tied to the chip bin, the machine has already overflowed the dust bin and filled the heppa filters which is a real pain the backside. Even with all this, I still like the machine a lot and would recommend it

I watched your review of the Harvey T40. And absolutely love it

This the dust collector I have on my list of wants/needs I like others but I prefer this works extremely well and I like the empty option on this dust collector way easier. Ya it's best to make the workbench longer and on the extra end maybe have a roll out drawer box.

Thanks for sharing with us James, good information for those who have a bigger shop. Fred.

I would find a way to remove the fixed wheel casters and install swivel wheels. Challenging at it's given weight, but worth the effort.

I have the G700 and everything you said is true. It's so quiet I sometimes don't notice to turn it off. However, I was at first discouraged by how quickly the bins, rather the big one, seemed to fill up. (I'm looking at you planer.) Then I discovered that if I opened the bin and sort of smooshed the chips down and brushed a bunch of them to the far side of inlet, I could get 3 times as much time before having to empty the bin. It was really that dramatic. I can't recommend this unit enough.

great video, Sir...honest, clear, complete!

I have an older Oneida cyclone, (and another smaller 2 stage at my other shop). I hate emptying the two stage, about a 40 gallon bag, takes about 10 minutes to wrangle the bag out and empty it. For the Oneida, i put it outside the shop, and insulated around it for noise. I built a box for the dust and chips below it, about 2 cubic yards or so, (maybe 400 to 500 gallons) with a big door that I can just open a shovel out the dust to a pile near a garden. (yeah, it is in the country on 40 acres so I don't worry about noise for others). I cycles the air thru a filter back into the shop, so doesn't exhaust all the warm air out of the shop. I like that as the container is large enough I don't have to mess with it often. With the DC outside the shop, and the bit of insulation, (rigid foam) I really don't mind the noise at all. Don't really hear the motor that much, just the air flow noise.
