Effectiveness is pretty much entirely dictated by what filter you choose, assuming you don't mess up building it and leave huge gaps. This guy on youtube made a video showing the effectiveness of different filters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAJ__E-hIJc

I have one with just some cheapo filters in my workshop. Does a great job of keeping dust out of the air for paint and finish work.
