XtremepowerUSHVAC Air Vacuum Pump 3CFM 1/4HP (R134a R12 R22 R410a) A/C Refrigeration AC Manifold Gauge R134 Can-Tap Included Carrying Tote

Love this set. Has everything needed to check and fill car A/C systems. Quality is definitely good enough for any shade-tree mechanic. It has saved me a lot of money because I can now fix my and my family's A/C issues at home for a fraction of what I would pay a "professional" to do it. I mean you really can't beat it for the price. Filling an A/C system is pretty simple. Many YouTube guides on how to do it right. I haven't had it long but I am already banging it around and so far so good. Nothing has broken. Highly recommend.

After watching a long list of mini split installs..one of them had this pump as part of their links..I never installed a mini split before and this pump has worked perfectly for my install and I will use it for future installs. For the price this was perfect. The storage bag is a perfect addition. Bag feels very durable as well as the pump and gages.

This helped me perform a successful ac recharge. The Pump vacuumed the system to -30. The manifold seemed to be good quality and didn’t leak.

Perfect complete system. I have used this a few times and has done great.

Good product

Good value, works as it should

Awesome Set. Saved me hundreds

Bought this to recharge after replacing parts on my truck's AC system. Vacuum pump functions as expected and is quiet enough that none of my neighbors complained. Plus it quickly pulled my system to -30 HG, which apparently means "a vacuum". Unfortunately, losing that vacuum upon closing off the manifold lines took all of 5 seconds.Oh no! Read instructions, repeat cycle, same result.Check all accessible system connections, repeat cycle, same result.Looks like I'm going to have to pull it all apart and start over... so yeah, lots of suck.Well, thank goodness for web forums and cranky old HVAC guys with opinions is all I can say. Taking their advice , I tested the manifold (the gauges and hose bit) that comes with this package and guess what? It's broken! Luckily on the low side (blue) was leaky, so I was able to pull vacuum through the high side (red) and it held overnight. Great!Now I can't recharge through the high side because I dislike exploding metal cans, especially when they are in my hands, and the blue side of this manifold leaks like a boat with a big hole in it (read: a lot). Luckily again, a neighbor of mine had one of those O'PepZone self-recharge hoses in his garage, and even more luckily it didn't leak, so I was able to get the job done.Now the moral of this story is, check the manifold first. QC on this part is apparently less than awesome, as mine is not the first review to complain about the "won't hold vacuum" problem. But also, be thankful for the lucky things in your life, even if they're small. If it weren't for the multiple lucky things that happened to me (see above) counter-acting the very unlucky thing that arrived in the XtremePowerUS box, I might still be contorted into a pretzel under my dashboard, redoing a job that was actually done right the first time.
