Rockler Dust Right® Dust Separator, $69.99 after $30 off (23 - 30 November)
$69.99
$99.99
https://www.rockler.com/dust-righ...-separator
Turn any shop vacuum with a 2-1/4'' ID outlet into a 2-stage dust and chip separator. When used with most power tools and shop vacuums, the Dust Right® Separator captures sawdust, wood chips, and other debris before it enters your vacuum, preventing the loss of suction power caused by a clogged vacuum filter. The five-caster base makes it exceptionally stable and easy to maneuver around the shop. Plus, hoses connect inside the in/out ports, preventing unintentional disconnections. The Dust Right® Separator creates a cyclonic air flow that causes most wood dust particles and other materials that are heavier than air to separate, preventing them from being passed to the vacuum. The vortex effect that is created prevents the loss of suction caused by prematurely clogged filters. For use with shop vacs that are 4HP or more.

When I priced out the diy option that I liked it was about $40-$50 so paying an extra $20 would be worth it to me because that's more shop time rather than prep time.

In contrast, the Rockler setup uses full-sized 2.5" openings, and allows me to have a continuous 2.5" diameter path all the way to these tools. The suction is significantly improved with my vacuum setup, which is a mid-level prosumer dust extracting shop-vac. With less vacuum power (or if all of your tools are 1.5" openings or less) -- the two models might perform equally, but I noticed a significant difference with the Rockler's ability to keep the full 2.5" diameter all the way to the tool.
Other pros of the Rockler are that despite being double the capacity of the Dust Deputy, it has a lower vertical profile -- plus both hoses do not add any height to the unit because they enter/exit *horizontally* . I find it easier to empty (and you can use trash bags in it). I also find it topples over less easily, because it isn't as top heavy.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this at this sale price.

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 Thien baffle for my Dust Right which improve the performance quite a bit for smaller particles.
There are a couple good video reviews -
Dust Right vs Dust Deputy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ct5R6_bj80
Dust Deputy vs DuStopper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10d3Fmh
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) -

Dustopper vs Dust Deputy vs Dust Right part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-zZ-d-l40g
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
I have 3 shop vacs, the largest which mostly lives with the Rockler and stationary tools, and other two which move around with the Onedia as needed.
Last time around somebody asked how I build the Thien baffle - it looks pretty much like http://www.jpthien.com/cy.htm - except I didn't move the outlet to the outside. But it still works reasonably well.

I use the Onedia DD for portability and finer dust, and have the Rockler Dust Right hooked up to my larger tools like TS, BS, router table given the capacity. They're both way better than nothing, but there are some difference between them.

Lol ok dude. Have fun breathing in all that particulate that passes through your COVID mask. This thing is so worth it just for the easy cleanup indoors
Great comment. As a newbie to woodworking a few months ago, I got excited about building every shelf, stand and jig myself. I've since realized that I want to spend my time in the shop building things that will live outside the shop.
Yep, you don't realize how much time you spend making stuff work when you could have just paid a little extra up front and been doing something more fun or creative with your time.
