Review on XtremepowerUS Portable Refrigerant Recycling Condition by Jazz Rajasingam

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does the job but doesn't finish it.

As below. It recovers the refrigerant but does not create a small vacuum in the system to ensure all refrigerant is removed. It approaches 0 but then shuts off, only for the remaining liquid in the system to boil, causing the pressure to build up to about 20psi on each side. Thus, not all of the refrigerant is removed. Unlike professional recovery machines, you cannot restart this machine after hitting the limit, which is around 20psi. Anything above that will turn off the finished light and allow you to proceed with the restoration. You can't pull it into a vacuum to remove the residual refrigerant, so you'll eventually have to vent it, which is no good. This really needs to be fixed! It would be great if you could just press the start button and it would run for another 30 seconds to 1 minute or just hold it down to finish removing leftovers would be great. Otherwise, you'll have to find a way to bypass the switch, which is a security issue. I would recommend buying a professional recovery machine instead until the above issue is resolved!

Pros
  • Can recover and charge all types of refrigerants, even CFC/HCFC/HFC refrigerant categories, including R12, R22, R134, R407C, R410A, etc.
Cons
  • Lean Instruction
