Product is built well, seems durable (haven’t dropped it hard/hit it with anything just yet) and priced fairly compared to other options. Only small issue with this adapter was it felt a bit loose when installed out of the box, can’t speak to any potential issues collecting the dust but was too loose for my old. A quick few wraps with electrical tape solved the issue and now fits snug with only 30seconds of extra work and a foot or so of tape. Would absolutely recommend this product to a friend (assuming you have some tape on hand)!
Pros: I was quite impressed with the build quality of this tool. it has a solid feel and fits perfectly on the router. I’ve tried it out a couple of times now, and the dust extraction is exceptional. Cutting a 1/2 groove resulted in nearly zero dust escaping.
Cons: I have pretty much every size vacuum hose there is along with tons of adapters and the 1.25″ version I got didn’t readily fit any of them. I found one that if I jam it in as far as it will go it seems to stay in place OK. My biggest complaint is that the efficient design also efficiently blocks any view of the LED-lighted bit. I’m planning on maybe cutting a viewing port and covering it with some curved acrylic.

Well designed fit. Used for slab mill and captured large amount of dust.
