Great design, but not the best material:
The dust collector does what it is intended to do; there are no problems with that. However, the plastic is quite brittle. One bump or incidental tap with a heavy item and you'll be buying another dust hood. The material should be a little more foregiving and flexible, possibly rubber coated on corners, etc.
Save your lungs and cleanup time:
This little collector works great if you have a powerful dustcollector or shop vac. A very nice addition to your router if you use it a lot and spend hours cleaning up afterwords. It also gets a lot more of the fine dust at the source before its air borne.
