Has anyone used the sand & kleen product for dustless drywall sanding? I have a potential job, homeowner was worried about the dust and I thought that this was a cheapest product out there to get me through this job. Any reviews of this product??

I was going to write a post inquiring about this tool myself.
I bought one about three weeks ago. It is a work out. I have it hooked up to a 16 gal shop vac, and even with all the "air bleeders" open, it was a push and pull battle. The other thing I didn't like - the use of sanding screens. The screens left scracthes (even with 220 grit) probably from the strong suction. I ended up hooking it up to my Random orbit sanders exhaust - worked ok.
The Sand and Kleen when used with the sanding screens pulled almost all of the dust, but I had to go back and sand the scratches.
My verdict is still out - I think with some modifications it would be a good tool. When final note of caution: the bucket will have quite a static build up (enough that you will hear crackling when you shut the shop vac off). When you go to change the water, you'll get a few zaps. I didn't ground the bucket, but it might a good idea.
