VIVOHOME 110V 1/3 HP 4CFM Single Stage Rotary Vane Air Vacuum Pump and R134a AC Manifold Gauge Set Kit with Leak Detector Carry Bag for HVAC Air Conditioning Refrigeration Recharging ETL Listed

Okay, this is a very well built and well thought out product. If you are like me, you may have watched some YouTube videos and decided that buying a pump and gauge set is the right move.It is the right move for sure. However, there are a few differences with this package compared to the equipment that most folks use on those videos.The gauges are the same but the controls are set up differently. Most gauge sets have a red hose, a blue hose, and a yellow hose. Also they only have two valves. A blue valve for the low side and a red valve for the high side.This package set comes with a black hose that connects to the vacuum pump and the yellow hose that connects to your refrigerant can. This is really nice because you do not have to disconnect the yellow hose from the pump and then connect it to the refrigerant can while you are in the middle of the process. Also, the gauge set has two additional valves. One that opens or closes the yellow hose isolating it alone and a black valve that opens or closes the vacuum pump isolating it. So on the gauge head you have a blue, red, black, and yellow valves and corresponding hoses. On top of all these valves making sure that you are not going to get any air into the lines and other possible mistakes you also can open/close the valves at the connectors while opening all the other valves except the yellow. This allows you to make sure that you do not have any leaks in the hoses or gauges prior to doing the leak test on your AC System.All in all I am super glad that I bought this brand and I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone.Now get out there and get that cold air blowing!!

I tried to use the vacuum pump from a local auto parts store that loans it out for free first. Turns out the blue hose on that system is unique to the automotive set up and cannot be adapted to the home A/C system. So I bought this kit and it worked like a charm. Hooked right up with the adapter I had bought separately and I had the mini split online and working in no time just like the videos showed. I can't offer an opinion on the freon (halogen) leak detector, it never activated so I don't know for sure if there were no leaks, or it wasn't working correctly. Prior to charging the lines they held isolated vacuum for over an hour.

Local shop went from $50 to $140 to evac, test, and fill. After 2 uses this kit will more than pay for itself. Seems like quality components and got my Tundra blowing 45° again (from 80). Watch a few YouTube videos on the subject and save you and your friends and family some money.

Nice product but doesn't clip on any subaru. May need different adapters

Bought in 2021 used it for a vehicle, put it away and just had to pull it out to use for a different vehicle. Still works great, still looks brand new!

I bought this unit to use while installing a mini-split AC unit and it worked great. Nice quality and worked perfectly.

Wanted to do some mini split projects and found this. It's awesome. Almost too quiet. If you walk away, it's inaudible. Just set a timer, because you won't hear it, lol. Been around a lot of ac guys and there stuff is loud. Has all the right fittings and pulled very few amps. I was expecting to flip a breaker because I had 100' cord on 15 amp breaker with other tools running, but it wasn't an issue. Very nice set, and hopefully it lasts. If it died, I will come back and change my review...

Easy to use! I got a 2010 f350. I was being quoted $700 to $1200, to what I just did in a couple hours on Saturday!
