thanks for doing this comparison! I wasn't looking at these exact models but it helps give a sense of what to expect from the general form factors that are common on the market

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks! glad it cab help you... some of the outcome was expected, but some also not... to bad those good ones are so big.

Thanks for the Chaptering..

[@Shnick]

The smoke isn't visible behind the fan because it's diluted with clean air and moving too fast. The first filters shown won't have enough surface area to clean all the smoke out of the air. It's still in the air, which is why you still smelled it. HEPA level filters are the only way to go, but then you trade noise for efficiency.

[@TonyAlbus]

Yes agree HEPA is teh best, the rest is nice to delude a bit.

[@triktrak_1451]

Very nice, informative review. Thank you

[@TonyAlbus]

Thank you!

[@grerlab2777]

Awesome... Did you read my mind...? I'm just looking for a smoke extractor… This video presents a great demonstration of different types of smoke extractor. Always interesting video… A big thank you…

[@TonyAlbus]

Glad I could help! Thank you too

[@Maltanx]

Thank you Tony! I really need one of these, this is the right occasion to buy one. Sometimes I get very careless while soldering, to the point where I get a bit dizzy from the fumes...

[@TonyAlbus]

Wow, if you get dizzy, you need one for sure. it is serious.! take care

[@Maltanx]

@@TonyAlbus I know, but sometimes I get caught in the "Prototyping frenzy" and I lose track of time. I want just to keep working on my circuit

[@RiedegDesign]

A great Video, very helpfull 👍. Now i know what to buy. Thanks for the Time you invested in this Video. Greetings from Germany 👋

[@TonyAlbus]

Thank you very much! .. greatings

[@Radiocruncher]

Hi Tony. Really enjoyed your reviews and findings. I could do with upgrading my little carbon fume extractor as it’s not great. As usual I seem to like the white one the best which is also the most expensive. I did look at their site but they don’t offer a postage option to the UK. Not that I could afford one 🤑. Cheers Graham

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi Graham, thank you. Yes this is important and we usualy forget, is see myself almost never using it.

[@Codeeze]

A fair representation of each model Tony. Nice video. Good grief aren't they noisy! The smaller ones are fine for all benchtop work in my opinion. The larger, and more noisy ones - well, I ask myself, would I want to sit at my bench and solder wearing ear defenders? - perhaps not! In my earlier days, and prior to getting my RS components dedicated extractor, I used a Dyson handheld vacuum - HEPA rated filters etc... 😛

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks Paul... i think in a larger space it would sound less... good air or loosing your hearing though choice :)

[@nathanfulton]

I have the Kotto Hose Fume Extractor. It sits on the desktop like the ELE-FU1 and performs really well for its small size.

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi, Yes looks a lot a like.. maybe your is EPA E10 and the ELE-FU1 is E11, maybe if i put a E10 in this device is will be stronger.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

This is really interesting I would like to buy a fume extractor. I do have an industrial air filter in my workshop it helps with my asthma and helps keeps the dust down. I also have the bench top fan model and it’s pretty rubbish but blows it away from the face.

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi Chris, that is a good one.. yes the air we breath is important. In our house, its sort of modern high efficient energy, we have a closed, balanced (heat regenerating)ventilations system. meaning the house is closed.. the system blows in fresh air (in winter pre-heated by the warm outgoing air with membrame in between) and takes out the same amount, trough separated pipes and filters.. i make sure i replace the filters every 2 to 3 months.. it helps indeed.

[@floatx86]

Nice, I like your channel 👍

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks you!

[@pauwerwoman1247]

Thanks for the info, I have the FE1B-ESD … works great, but as you showed in your video it doesn’t bend easily🤔much prefer your white hose.. but I do have the flexible end…where do you get that white hose? BVD🌷

[@TonyAlbus]

Great! Its all from Eleshop.

[@th3drizzl378]

wish i could find these elsewhere looks like eleshop will not ship to me in the usa.

[@TonyAlbus]

The smaller one was also on AliExpress. maybe same brand has sort of the same. but some of the big ones are special design for Eleshop.

[@snorttroll4379]

can we get one with a cyclone filter and electrostatic precipitation?

[@TonyAlbus]

Good question, i am not sure. not sure these brands are available in all countries, but if it is, you can look for filter in that same size with the specifications you want.

[@KeritechElectronics]

Whoa, these big ones look like something straight out of a dungeon :) I'll be sticking with the one I made out of an EBM Papst centrifugal fan. No filters in it, it's just there to keeps the fumes from going up to my nose. The air flow mixes the fumes with the surrounding air, preventing the concentration from rising to harmful levels. Little Aoyue... plain and simple. I like the look of the little Eleshop, but the noise is a killer. A true vacuum cleaner! It really sucks. This thing could use some dampening and speed adjustment. The big Aoyue looks nice and professional, meant for two workstations (e.g. soldering station and BGA rework station), not that noisy as it's down there, and well thought out with those filter cartridges. Centering the filter is a different thing, meh. I love the speed control on the big Eleshop. Nice rubber hood too, easy to clean if it gets covered with these little specks of solder. Still a single-station unit only, and takes up a lot of floor space. I wonder if it could be put somewhere farther away and connected with a ventilation system going to the workbench... Something similar to what I did in the typecasting lab at the Book Art Museum, where three operational lead type casting machines have fume extraction pipes going down to their melting pots, and I can shut the unused ones off. Kudos for using that good old Weller iron :) Oh, and I just noticed that you've got a huge-ass metal pipe right back there. I wonder what that is... A concentric air/exhaust pipe for a gas heater?

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks, yes it was great fun :) That pipe is my ventitalion system

[@MasterEffectsPedals]

is it possible to buy the FE1W in North America?

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi, i am not sure ELEshop delivers outside EU, but you can always send them an email. eleshop.eu

[@AA-xm7rt]

Hey super review! Ik ga denk ik voor die grote van eleshop! Ik zag alleen wat recenties dat de buis lastig aan te sluiten is is dat ook echt of komt het gewoon goed als je voorzichtig bent? Ik twijfel tussen de quick variant omdat dat een bekende naam is alleen is de airflow speed veel lager en de filters veel duurder.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks! er staat mij niets bij dat de aansluitng lastig was, maar het is even geleden. de grote was wel het meest effectief en stiller.

[@AA-xm7rt]

@@TonyAlbus thnx voor je reactie Tony! Ik zat wat filmpjes te kijken en schrok van hoe zo'n filter eruitziet na een paar maanden. Ik heb zelf zo'n kleine simpele maar ben tegenwoordig veel aan het solderen dus tijd voor iets serieuzers!

[@TonyAlbus]

@@AA-xm7rt Ja het is waar hoor, er zit zoveel rommel in de lucht als je bezig bent met solderen. zelf ben ik wat slordig, maar als je filters bekijkjt.. inderdaad

What kind of magnifier do you use? For me it's the most useful tool.

[@tmtm5112]

grandfather, you look rich. i have none of fume extractor.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thank you, not grandfather, but thanks to Eleshop for the borrow, i can show the devices.

[@ssalient]

Remember my dad soldering from when I was a little kid (around 6-7 years old) until now (i'm approaching 50) without such a thing and still going strong... So I can use the space it takes for something more important :)

[@TonyAlbus]

Yes some people smoke there whole life and easy get to 100, some others don't.. yes more space sounds very good too :)) i need space.
