Customer Reviews for VEVOR Refrigerant Recovery Machine 1/2HP AC Refrigerant Recycling Machine HVAC 558psi Refrigerant Recovery Unit Air Conditioning Repair Tool (GREY)

Neat tool to have for DIY HVAC or automotive A/C. Good value, easy operation. For me, it was like buying a chainsaw. Good to know it’s there for me when I need it.

I found out the hard way that newer vehicles (a 2017 Hyundai Tucson I was working on and a 2020 Mercedes SUV) requires a full amount of refrigerant before allowing the compressor to turn on. So that means the cheap way to recharge an empty AC system is impossible with just cans and a set of gauges. This machine is a great alternative to the 10x-50x more costly fully automatic machine that most repair shops have. All you need is to reverse this machine's input and output accordingly and make sure to only pressurize the high side port while the car is off and measure the refrigerant weight in ounces. You can bleed the air out the line while this machine is off when the dial is turned to the low so as long as you use it right it is just as useful as the far more expensive alternative. Only problem for me is that I had to buy a few different adapters to connect to my set of gauges. Luckily I had a couple different adapter assortment packs on hand while setting it up.

Recovery machine works well, the fast recovery and purge is all I have used so far, but it has been great.

This machine only had 6lb of gas in it but it pulled it out in less than 10 minutes. That is good enough for me. Came with a drier 2 filter screens and a little hose to connect it to, opened the valves wide and watched it go. As long as I can get 5 years out of it I’ll be happy

I had issue with the unit that was delivered to me. Appears to be built well, but unit would not run. After talking at length with customer service. Vevor refunded all the money on my purchase. Documentation that is sent, is not the best and doesn't explain well enough how to use this unit the way it is designed. I ended up rewiring unit after discovering a discrepancy in the wiring. This model unit is really designed for those that have experience with refrigeration. The unit has a low pressure switch in the circuit and will not run without a charge in the system. This is to protect the pump. The limits how this device can be used. It will only work on a fully charged system. If someone tries to use this pump on a system with low pressure and a suspected leak. It will not run. The device works well, but is only designed to do one job. Discharge a functional system. Vevor customer service was great to work with and very understanding and helpful. I have a Vevor welder and it works great. Love that welder.

This Recovery unit is excellent for the price, we do a lot of recovery, and it has severed us well we will purchase another in the future. .
