yes I did mean 860 sorry about that. I don't see an option for 220 volt. I only plan to use it on one machine at a time. I have a midi lathe a band saw and a planer.
Sorry for the late reply. The 1-1/2 hp is 110 the 2 hp is 220. I use mine on a band saw, drill press, little lunch box planer and for the lathe all one at a time and it works pretty good.
Setting up the lid on the can, it has a lift mechanism, is a little fidgety but you only have to do it once. The directions are just a little challenging. Not useless just a little off, so just use some common sense. FYI the blower assembly comes all put together with the motor and is kind of heavy so get an extra hand to help set it on top
I like mine, I bought it pre buy and it works pretty darn good, it rolls around good, overall very pleased with it

The Grizzly G0860 looks like it would be a pretty competent from the pictures. I have a Laguna P-Flux 3 and the overall design of the Grizzly looks like it compares favorably with the Laguna C and P Flux models.
I read somewhere that the cyclone cone should ideally be 11* for best separation. You will notice that Oneida and Clearview cyclones are more tall and narrow, but there units are also very tall overall. Too tall for my workshop. With a shorter cone you may give up something in efficiently separating macro and micro debris, but it can still provide great filtration (check the numbers), and a machine that fits.
Looking at the pictures I like that the Grizzly has a flapper to clean the filter. My P-Flux doesn't and it's a super PITA to R&R that filter and clean it out. The price on the Grizzly is much better than the Laguna and from the look of it you're not giving up anything.

Not sure how well it would work with the new generation pleated dust filters, but I took the garden hose to the inside of one of the old paper ones. No problems, and no dust all over the neighborhood.
