Thanks for putting this review together! I’ve only just discovered your videos and I feel I’ve been missing out! Cheers

[@neptuned4746]

I reached out to this company and never heard anything useful back about getting a number of these but wanted to try one before dropping that amount of money, and have been waiting almost a year for someone to review this extractor so thank you 1000 times over. -Neptune

[@BranchusCreations]

You're welcome!

[@cla3d]

Thanks, I will be ordering one of these.

[@cla3d]

My order has been placed!

[@enzofitzhume7320]

Great review Bruce!

[@19AndreasL90]

Very well put together and perfectly presented - Thank you and greetings from Germany! PS: I just ordered the 100W model as the lowest power setting on your 150W model is sufficient - might be noisier but we will see. Plus, it was on sale for 120€ and, on top, your 5% discount code also worked. To healthier soldering! 😅

[@patrickguice]

Great informative video Bruce! Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been wanting to get one from Weller or similar and like you said, they were prohibitively expensive! I have nothing on my bench currently, but I’ll be getting this one for sure. Those tests you did convinced me.

[@JonDeth]

*I built one using a squirrel cage blower salvaged from a powerful dehumidifier, a dryer exhaust hose, some lumber and other parts until it was sealed airtight in a window and my hose pulled up both fumes and material to be expelled outdoors.* The drawback is ultimately that even with a highly powerful squirrel cage blower, *I need to build another that uses the blower out of a dryer I salvaged.* I realized that in large part, you're really trying to achieve the effect of a giant shop vac and to be truly effective, these machines need to have the force to snatch up large pieces of material, and then you can watch and see that not a single-colored fume escapes. *My current unit looks just about identical to yours in the demonstration, and IMO after using it a couple years, is just "okay" and these devices just need to be incredibly powerful.* The boil down is something is better than nothing and if functions in the fashion of a true fume extractor, the difference in exposure will be phenomenally lower. Ultimately, I want a unit running in the room as a secondary hepafilter in unity with the fume extractor that evacuates tremendous quantities of gas directly outside.

[@Monzox]

Thank you very much for review, very informative

[@nathankimball2519]

I'd love to see the power button mod.

[@fattymcboomboom9254]

Thanks for the review, please review a fume extractor by the brand Atten too.

[@TheStuffMade]

Nice review, looks like a nice unit. 👍 Personally I've been just using a fan to avoid smoke in my face and then I have a reasonably large air purifier unit with hepa filter that keeps the air clean. The air purifier is fairly quiet and it comes with remote control plus ionizer and plasma functionality.

[@Biomancer81]

The statement about less current at 230v making less wattage doesn't make sense. If it takes 1.3amps at 115V to make 150w, it should still use .75amps at 230v and still produce 150w max. Wattage should remain consistent.

[@cla3d]

Hey Bruce, I received my unit today and it is great. Just wondering if you would every post the 3d printed clip you made for that button for the power? And I am assuming you just ran the wire through the tube?

[@steveparker4055]

Love the shirt! But, Why don't you put her in charge?!?!

[@steveparker4055]

You've sold me. Ordering one now. I assume you just soldered some wires to the existing switch to add the remote switch. Was it difficult? I know some boards have components really tightly packed and very small soldering pads and it's really hard to get it soldered.

[@segfault8512]

Thank you for your great test! Unfortunately I cannot find replacement filters from Vevor. Can you please measure the filter elements? Are the dimension 238x238x268mm for the big filter and 193x193x265mm for the middle filter like the article you show on aliexpress from HUNST official store?

[@BranchusCreations]

If you do a search for XF250 on Ali Express, you'll find replacements there: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005159659697.html

[@Verminator151029]

How about a link to the Air Quality Tester? That looked skookum for PB's.

[@BranchusCreations]

Good point! I've added it to the video description.

[@theaustralianconundrum]

@@BranchusCreations Great review but for the love of God, how do I get my Mac 8.5 universal install CD to install to a BlueSCSI V2? I emailed Juicy Crumb but all I got was a lot of technical stuff about needing disc images and to download everything from mac garden or something. I have a few SD cards here but can't work out if I have to format them in my Macbook Pro running Monterey or do I simply remove the original 1GB IBM Apple stickered HDD from my 7500/100 and then plug in the BlueSCSI and then insert install CD and hold down C key? I just don't want to spend AU$130 to realize I'm not tech savvy enough to do this. Sorry to take up your time.

[@BranchusCreations]

@@theaustralianconundrum You should be able to follow the steps from my BlueSCSI/SheepShaver video, but just use the 8.5 Installer CD image instead of there 7.5.3 image. You can download the image from the Macintosh Garden. Though I would recommend 8.6 as it's more stable.

[@theaustralianconundrum]

@@BranchusCreations Thanks for the reply. I have original Apple 8.5 universal installer CD and the 8.6 updater CD so I've used them and restarted and running sweet. I found some unarchiver app that seems to convert all the vintage software I am after and I'm just shutting down the 7500 and removing the SD card and letting my Macbook Pro surf the net for all the vintage Mac software sites. However I will buy the DB25 BlueSCSI V2 as I'd prefer to not be removing the SD card at all if possible. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like bloody Noo-noo!
