Vevor Single Cylinder Refrigerant Recovery Machine

Post by leonardclenin »

Hello, I am looking into Vevor's refrigerant recovery machine (single cylinder type) and would like to ask if this machine is effective enough, should I choose the double cylinder type, how is the performance and durability when used with gas such as R134A or R410A, and if anyone has used it, please give me a more practical review.

Thanks.

I don't, but the Vivohome I bought looks identical to the Vevor on amazon, so likely is made by the same manufacturer.

I gave the system a test run last night on an old truck with a minimally working AC since most of the refrigerant has leaked out. Seemed to work fine, although I have nothing to compare it against.

I'm curious what recovery unit people on this forum tend to use. Seemed like a lot of views for no replies. Are these inexpensive models looked down on? I looked at the similar Robinair model but cheaped out in the end and went with the lower cost unit.

For reasons I won't delve into here, I recommend avoiding anything made or branded by that name.
