Worked great. The kit comes with an adapter that connects to large and small 134 cans for charging the system. I bought this kit plus everything including in the " what customers normally buy together" section. You'll need a scale to charge your system correctly unless you're a wizzard with gauges. Only used once, but you still save because a shop would charge 150.00 just to evac and charge a/c system.

This is a great buy. If anyone has priced a set of "professional gauges" they are pricey. I have used this set twice and they worked flawlessly. In my opinion for the person working on their vehicle's A/C every once and a while this is a good set of tools. I does not include the 12 oz. can adapter so you will need the Interdynamics DV-134 R-134a Brass Air Conditioning Dispensing Valve - Pack of 1 for $6.99.

Buy the adapters if you are using Walmart cans of freon!

After reading the instructions for the pump I filled the pump up with oil to close to Max line. Don't do that. Fill it up a little until you get a vacuum and then add more. I wasn't getting any vacuum, thought it was broke, poured oil back into the bottle and then turned it on, sounded like it was about to sieze up, turned it on and off a bunch of times and it got better, added more oil and it BAM, vacuum! Worked great! Next time I'll get a cheaper pump and buy my own gauges, these don't seem to be very accurate. Blowing ice cubes though so I can't complain. You need these adapters for the small cans of freon you buy from the auto parts store or Walmart. I purchased FJC 6030 can tap, with FJC 6015 adapter for the ACME to hose adapter. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002EQQ5ZW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002JMF9I

No line bursting, effectively drew vacuum and held it. The pump ran smoothly, and consistently. I had to clean out an old system, so after using a flush, I let the pump run for at least a full hour non stop to pull out anything that it could. Gauges did not leak, fitment was spot on for R134a couplings, and the bag is convenient. Not sure how they would hold up in a more industrial setting (a shop), but I would imagine if used PROPERLY, there would be little to no issue.

Worked great for diagnosing and repairing the AC system

Worked great for diagnosing and repairing the AC system. If you are going to use the 12 oz cans of refrigerant you need to take the shrader valve out of the brass fitting adapter.

I would recommend this product

This unit worked well and it wasn't as loud as I would have imagine. The noise was decent and did the job that it was intended for. I needed this vacuum pump because I had to replace a heater drain on my refrigerator, that is located in the drain pan on the bottom of the refrigerator. I hope this unit would last me since I don't do a lot of refrigeration. I would recommend this product.

Awesome performance for a light duty pump!

I needed a cheap one time use vacuum pump to evacuate my new mini split and this did the job wonderfully. I was able to reach around 250 microns of vacuum on a 50 ft line set in about 15 minutes! I had to repeat this process for a total of four zones and it went without a hitch. I was very impressed given that this is an inexpensive light duty unit. It really didn't get super hot unlike many complaints I have seen about other inexpensive pumps. I skipped the included oil and bought premium vacuum pump oil, it may have contributed to the success.

Quality/Functional for DIY A/C Repair Mechanics

The gauges and pump got me through a novice mechanic re-installation of an A/C compressor and condenser for an r134a system without issue. All adapters to connect to the car's high and low and pump are included. Fitment to the car's A/C lines were great - no leaks. You will need to purchase an r123a can tap and valve separately (for the yellow service line) when refilling a system as this kit does not include one. I took my car to a mechanic to empty the r134a prior to working on the system myself. I was able to learn how the gauges work and the importance of the vacuum pump by watching YouTube videos and asking questions from experienced DIYers and mechanics. I had no knowledge of auto A/C's prior to buying this set, but found that it did what I needed for a compressor and condenser replacement and r134a refill in a 2007 Volkswagen.

Pleasantly surprised, worked great.

Used it to vacuum and recharge my F150. It pulled around 28 inches in less than 2 minutes. Sealing it off, the gauges didn't leak. The only negative is that these are multi-pressure gauges for different applications, so the amount of space on the gauge from "0" to "30" inches of vacuum is incredibly small so you cannot get a really solid reading. However, it was good enough. Pulled to 30 inches within 3 or 4 minutes and held it there for 45 minutes. The pump came empty and with a bottle of oil, which you only needed about 75% of the bottle to fill it. Read instructions carefully. The R134a connections worked and sealed perfectly. In order to attach this to a can adapter - you need to buy those separately. I purchased FJC 6030 can tap, with FJC 6015 adapter for the ACME to hose adapter. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002EQQ5ZW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002JMF9I This kit paid for itself on the first use. Even if the pump dies down the road because these chinese no-name pumps are cheap.... it will be worth it. Neither the gauge/manifold kit nor the pump is "heavy use" and likely would not hold up in a real shop environment, but you are paying a third the price. Since this won't be a very commonly used item, I like that storage bag to keep it clean and dust-free.
