WOULD YOU BUY THIS? | HVAC TECH | Vevor recovery machine and recovery tank

Todays video is of a recovery machine and tank product sent to me by Vevor. This is not a proper procedure video, and the method executed isn’t the most ideal but it’s what worked for me for todays job! This machine doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the newer equipment but the job it performed in a short amount of time was actually impressive. Also with the machine was a recovery tank they wanted me to look at, on first impressions seems pretty solid and had all the right markings (except DOT) but to recover the 5-6lbs of 410a this worked quite well and in timely matter. Hope y’all enjoy the video leave a comment down below what you think of the product 🤙🏻 #hvac #bluecollar #hvaclife #skilledtrades #tools #hvactechnician #repair #vevor #recovery

I recommend putting that recovery tank in water or ice over it to help the recovery process and keep the tank pressure lower. You can also just run water hose over it. or put it in a bucket and ice. Nice job Jake. liked it.

Thanks for the video, I found it informative! Curious where you got those fittings you used on the AC unit itself.

Pretty common for recovery units to shut down around 400 psig when recovery tank gets to about 120 degs F, for R410a, 150 degs F for R22, driving up the pressure for machine to work against. Cooling down recovery tank with slight water flow on it helps.

Orange tank !?!? This dude must be a Clemson fan !! Great video. Go Tigers !!

I had to use my machine a few times already in the last year. Definitely paid itself back by now. And doing it in the comfort of my own garage instead of going to a shop and wasting money and waiting around for a half assed job. Got the recovery tank from a local store though. Dont need a license for that.

Question. Should the recovery tank be put on vacuum before adding refrigerant ? I have had good luck putting tank in bucket with an ice 🧊 bath 🛀. Keeps tank pressure down. Just bought a Vevor recovery tank 2 months ago. So far so good. I use a Infincon recovery machine.

Thank you for the Intel video, what model is this recovery machine?

[Eddy]

Question man when you recovery refrigerant from the ac unit at the same time the compressor oil is coming too ?

[Clevefan]

Are the Vevor and VivoHome the same machine? They look Identical??

[parkerjohnson]

What’s up Krauss! Did you pull a vacuum on the cylinder before starting the recovery? Love the videos man!

[Therealro]

Is this the 1hp dual cylinder version?

[marianmarin]

Hello! how does the recovery work? is it ok? Or not?

[hvactechpr]

You can use that port on the tank for pulling a vac.. pulling cores out is a must the appion evac kit in 3/8 is a must have all I have is 1/4 hoses with the depressors removed

Should have started and stayed on slow recovery until liquid was pulled then switched to fast recovery. Keeps compressor from getting hammered. It has an auto cutoff at a set vacuum to let you know it's done.

Thanks for making this video. The only problem with Vevor, Their after the sale support is terrible. Try getting a part for this machine when it needs service. Not worth the headache.

Hard sell, you can find G5 Twins used for $250-300, then rebuild it with the seal kit and have yourself a rebuilt unit for about the same price. I'd personally rather have that. But if this was in the $300 price range I think it would be a great option.

Why is the tank upside down? The tank has a liquid and gas port.
