PB Motor Tech 3 Gallon Vacuum Chamber Kit with Tempered Glass Lid - 4.5CFM Vacuum Pump. 38 Micron Vacuum Pump Kit (Oil Not Included) - Ideal for Wood Stabilization

The vacuum chamber works just fine. The glass lid makes all the difference with some of the resins that normally craze plastics. The 4.5 CFM Vacuum Pump makes a difference in time to pump down over other offerings with 3.5 CFM 1/4 HP Single Stage Vacuum Pump. It would help if the instructions were written in standard US or British English. For example: when filling the vacuum pump with vacuum oil, the instruction state to fill, rather than noting the Min and Max levels in the sight glass.

So far I'm about 1 month into using this Vacuum chamber, and so far it was been perfect for my needs. I'd say I degassed about 10 pints of silicone so far without any issues. The pump itself isn't loud for the time it takes to reach max pressure. Vacuum holds for after the pump is shut off. I definitely would recommend this to anyone starting out.

So... product presentation needs to play with Russian dolls on this one,.. and fit the pump inside the vacuum vessel pot before packaging, because it raises end cost

This is an absolute steal at the price I paid for this. The double gasket kept the vacuum for 3 day's after I turned the pump off. I am absolutely pleased with this purchase. The other one I bought came with an acrylic lid and cracks started appearing after the 3rd use. Also it only had the gasket around the lid. This one is tempered glass and has held up. It comes with a gasket for the lid and also one for the pot.

Works as it should great product

spits oil everywhere. pump motor gets hot relatively quick. didnt come with any oil like it says it does.

The pump burned out our socket after the second use. The pump generated tons of oil vapors and gets extremely hot in 30 seconds. After second use doesn't work at all burning any extention cable. Low quality product. More over that you need to pay for the return of 11kg machine by yourself!! That is fully unacceptable work from Amazon and from this seller.

As others have mentioned, the included instructions are pretty much useless and/or incorrect.It did come with sufficient parts/tools, but the wrench that's punched from a piece of metal is too big for the valve that installed on the pump itself, and too small for the 1/2”~1/4” adapter that is also included (there's only 2 hex shaped parts in the whole kit, besides the lid nut!). No doubt most people will have an adjustable wrench in their home, so it's not a huge issue. One of the silicone washers included with my kit was already broken. Unfortunately, that means the entire thing is useless until I can get a replacement.The parts list claims that it comes with a 4.9ft hose, but in actuality the included hose was only 3.25ft (attached photo). Luckily, a 3.25ft hose is sufficient for operating the equipment.The instructions also claim that you need to use the included hex wrench to install/remove the oil drain plug, but the oil drain plug on the pump is just a Phillips head screw (attached photo)! 😖😖Bottom line.... these kits aren't exactly made for precision and/or laboratory type work, so keep your expectations tempered. I can't comment on it's functionality until I find a replacement silicone washer, but it seems like it should work just fine once that issue is resolved.
