Same function as a Dust Deputy - uses your shop vac to create a two-stage dust separator. The dust collects in a dedicated container and avoid clogging the filter on your vac. Just ordered mine based on the positive reviews.
This includes all the parts and the container. All you need is the vac.

I have both the Rockler Dust Right, and the Onedia Dust Deputy.
In my experience, the Dust Deputy outperforms the Dust Right for fine particles, but the Dust Right has sooo much more capacity and doesn't need to be emptied as often. Also the Dust Deputy likes to tip over if your hoses aren't supported.
The Rockler product is fine for wood chips and sanding debris pretty well, but doesn't effectively handle drywall dust, and no way ash!
Now - I did build a Thein baffle for my Dust Right which improve the performance quite a bit for smaller particles.
There are a couple good video reviews -

This is not really much of a comparison but what happens if you try to vacuum something fine like flour (likely similar to ash and drywall dust) -

That particular claim was that Dust Right was the best for flour but that doesn't quite match up with my experiences. https://youtu.be/a-zZ-d-l40g?t=805
Regardless, if you use a shop vac a lot and don't have one of these, any of them will help quite a bit, minimizing contamination of the filter and emptying the vacuum itself or replacing a filter bag..
BTW, the Dustopper is arguably ripped-off intellectual property: http://www.jpthien.com/smf/index....pic=13

My guess would be no - the YouTube separator I made that is similar to this does not work with fine dust.

Very light. 2 pieces of plastic that snap together. You just roll it and the vacuum around with you.
