  • Great little unit
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Works exactly as it should. I think a lot of people reviewing extractors don't have the most reasonable expectations for how these things work (which is a physics problem, not a problem with Hakko). I'll try to briefly cover why this unit is just fine for its price and promise. Pros: Quick setup and use. Pop the filter onto the front grate, plug it in, flip the switch. You're extracting. Good extraction. Anything close to the unit will be pulled through. As the manual notes, the most efficient use of the unit is to lay it face-down with your soldering job directly in front of the unit on your bench, so that the fumes go straight into the unit's lower grill. Used this way, the unit is amazing. Set upright, it does a better job generally clearing a room, e.g. if your shop is full of smoke and you need to leave the unit on for a while to process as much air in the room as it can. Either way, it does exactly what it promises. Hakko also sells a desktop arm. Really, the best way to extract maximum fumes with a unit of this sort would be to buy an arm to hold the unit right above your workspace. The hot fumes naturally rise, meaning it's much easier for the extractor to catch them. If you really want the most bang possible for your buck, fashion some way to hold this unit over your project. Cons / Explaining Physics Will not suck air from three feet away. Sorry kids, but physics doesn't work that way. There's no way for a simple fan unit to be able to input a column of air from a distance. What the fan does, is create a low-pressure zone directly in front of the unit. That means air rushes into the unit in a roughly semi-spherical pattern. Yes, you will have to put your soldering job right in front of the unit to get efficient extraction. No, there's nothing Hakko can do to fix that, nor anyone else. If fumes really concern you and you can't get your unit closer to the extractor, either ventilate your whole room (wear a mask and get a restaraunt-style extractor hood), or get an arm to mount this unit directly over your workspace. Isn't deathly silent. I see a lot of people complaining, and really this unit is exactly as loud as fan this size would be sucking air through a filter. It's quiet for its class, although I'm sure it's relatively loud right by your ear under perfectly laboratory conditions. In a real workshop, this is the normal sound of a quality fan. No big deal. The only real con: The slightly bulky plastic construction, although rugged, does cut down on the airflow a bit. This is a smart compromise, valuing durability over raw efficiency, so it's hard to argue. But a little more design effort might have led to let's say 10% more airflow without hurting the durability. Overall: There's a reason this Hakko unit is beloved by many people. It's pretty much exactly what you expect. Get one. Extra tip: If you want your filter to last a little longer you can improvise a simple mesh screen, or use some cotton batting, in front of the carbon filter. A simple screen will prevent the filter from sucking in ambient dust, while still processing all the bad stuff that comes through. ... show more

  • Nice unit!

  • seems sturdy. If I change my point of view
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I used it for the first time today. I'm new to the hobby and almost decided to build one on my own, but decided in the end I'd rather start making something rather than all the things I need to make something, if you know what I mean. You can see from the picture that I have it right behind where I've been doing my soldering work. It seemed to me 100% effective. No smoke anywhere and even though it was mostly below where I was doing the soldering, it seemed to function well. It's not particularly loud to my ears, seems sturdy. If I change my point of view, I'll come back with an update. ... show more

  • I should have bought this years ago
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I've been breathing solder fumes for years without great ventilation. This smoke absorber works. I now consider this a necessity. So, I'm happy and I love it. But 4 stars because I was expecting the suction range to be greater. Positive: The solder fume/odor is reduced tremendously when sucked into the filter. It's made from high quality plastic, the switch is firm, the fan is loud but not annoying. No vibration. Negative: It creates a wonderful 'laminar' suction area in front of the filter, but only for about ten inches. You have to work very closely to the filter. It made no difference if I had the filter standing or on it's side. Both modes work just as well. It's easy to create plumes of smoke that escape filtration if you are just a little bit too far away. So, you can't have this filter on the back of your work desk; it has to be right up in the the action. Hakko sells an optional arm mount for this so that you can place it directly above your work. I would highly recommend purchasing that if you are doing a lot of work. ... show more

  • Works really well for a small unit
I've been soldering an analog synthesizer project with a really dense board, and got tired of inhaling all the nasty fumes. I finally sprung for one of these. I was nervous about getting one as I've read tons of bad reviews about desktop smoke absorbers. If your expectations are in line with reality for a small bench top unit, then you'll like this fan. Specifically, you'll need to solder the board right in front of the fan. On a big board (the synth board is about the size of a mini ATX), you'll need to turn the board so the part being soldered is within a few inches of the front of the fan. Unless you get an industrial quality hood, or something like you'd see over a kitchen stove, or even a small enclosed structure like my pain booth, any fan you get is going to work like that. I personally like the freedom of having this on my bench as a small unit as opposed to a large installation or a respirator. If you have a really cheap iron, the airflow may cool the tip as stated in other reviews. That's not the absorber's fault, though. Noise is fine. It's a small fan so it's not silent, but I've had computers with louder fans. I'm happy with this purchase, and so are my eyes and lungs. ... show more

  • Does a Good Job Extracting Noxious Fumes
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I've found myself soldering far more than anticipated and was getting concerned about breathing the fumes. I bought this extractor since I have a bit of confidence with Hakko soldering products. I've been using it for a while now and it works well. I'm very happy with the purchase since it extracts and filters noxious gas and that is what I bought it to do. There are a lot of complaints about noise. I don't notice it. I' a retired engineer that worked in a test environment for most of my life and lots of test equipment would run and everything was running cooling fans. It's just a white background noise that I don't notice. If you're noise sensitive maybe the sound noise will be offensive to you so read the reviews that complain about it to better determine if this product is unacceptable for you. ... show more
