The filtration in them is insane!! Way better than these shop filters, or even high end air filters.
Basically it's supposed to be four 20x20x2 , Merv13 filters, and a box fan. But that's for air scrubbing virions/bacteria. I'm scrubbing dust. So I made it with 20x20x1 Merv8's. And instead of four filters, I went with three as I have the fans hanging up blowing air horizontally vs vertically.
I bought the red Lasko B20548's for $20 at Sams ($10 off), which has a "2000cfm" on high, but I keep it on Low "1500cfm". And with 4 filters , it doesn't change air flow at all.
So, for $60, I got a crazy strong high cfm filter.
Thanks to the people here that told me about it, so I could make my own for less than the shop filter I was going to buy, and better than what I was using. It's made a huge difference in my area.

I bought the reusable Jet outer filter, i just wash it off once a month or so and I havent had to replace the inner filter yet, been running it for about 2 years now

There's also an issue with filtration efficiency. The most dangerous particles are the really small ones - and you need a pretty good filter to catch those, and box fans don't do well against that kind of static pressure.
It depends how much time you spend in the shop, how much fine dust you make, and how much you care about having the cleanest air. I spend a lot of time in my shop and I do care, so I use both a 5HP Oneida dust collector with a HEPA filter and a 2000 CFM air cleaner, not to mention a 3M versaflo for when I'm making a lot of dust or working on the lathe.
I use a Dylos dust meter to monitor the dust levels so I know that what I'm doing is working, and so I know when I need to wear a respirator.
