Orion Motor Tech 5 Gal Vacuum Chamber Kit with 3.5 CFM Pump, Tempered Glass Lid & 5 ft Hose for Wood Stabilizing & Silicone Resin Degassing

I have tried other vacuum chambers. This one is my ultimate favorite. There's literally no bubbles after I get my resin out of it. I bought the 3 gallon size but you literally don't need one that big. If you are only doing cups at a time it is a tad bit noisy, but that doesn't bother me one bit because the machine works absolutely amazing. The seal on the lid still works amazing on it and it's super easy to use. I literally hooked this up by myself and that was a miracle.😂😂 thank Gooodness for instructions that you can actually understand. I think it was super affordable compared to some other models and this one top them all in my opinion.!! my resin pieces come out clear and beautiful every time. I will buy the exact same model if mine never wears out.💙

I have used it several times with no problems.

Not too bad other than having an issue with it.Wanting to suck back up oil when I turn it off and accidentally got resin, sucked up into it.And now the one valve no longer moves, which was all my fault other than that, not a bad price for this size of a vacuum pot

This vacuum chamber arrived in decent time. When it came to assemble, though, that's when the problems started. The instructions are not easy to follow, and the pictures are very small and hard to see. The gauge assembly fits very loosely into the lid, but I don't know if that's intentional or not, as it's not well described in the instructions. The most disappointing part, though, is that there's only enough compressor oil included to fill it 1/2 full, although the instructions say to fill until the window is full. Finally, there's no way to contact the seller for support. This is definitely going to be returned.

Putting it together was easier to figure out than expected but the operation instructions seemed a little confusing at first but I eventually figured it out But it never reached -30 like it said that it should and for some reason it started smoking and had a somewhat concerning rattling. I expected the vibration of course but there was also a rattle along with it. So I’m hoping that doesn’t mean that it’s not going to last long. I’m hoping the smoke was just oil burning off from getting spilling somewhere when it was filled, I was careful but there was also oil all over the pump when i opened the box so idk. I did google the company And tried to email them my concerns so hopefully they will reach back out. Other than that once it did start to work it worked great. Got up to -25 or so pretty quick and was popping bubbles almost immediately and didn’t take long at all for the resin to degass. I’ve only used it the one time tho so we’ll see about the smoking and stuff next time * update so the company reached out and apparently the smoking is normal, but I did drain the oil to the halfway mark and cleaned the area and it didn’t do that anymore and even tho it didn’t quite reach -30 on the gauge it still did an amazing job at removing bubbles within just 5 minutes so yeah I would definitely recommend this vacuum chamber

Works great

First I will describe the problems I've had. The pot arrived with a small dent on the rim of the vacuum chamber (stainless steel pot). I tried to ignore it and at first it worked without issue. On my 4th time using it, it would not hold a vacuum, after moving the lid a little and pushing down on it, it held. This happened several times and it was obvious that it would be a consistent issue. The second problem was the bottom of the pot/vacuum chamber. As soon as I heated the pot with my hot plate (on low heat with a Fisher Isotemp hot plate, that is very accurate) the bottom became concaved. (bulging out). Then after it heated up some more, the bottom of the pot suddenly and loudly popped inward. It caused my half pint mason jar to bounce off the bottom of the lid, landing on its side and spilling the contents. It was quite startling and was the determining factor in returning the item. I will say that the pump was surprisingly quiet. It is somewhat louder as the vacuum reaches its limit. But it's not as loud as I was expecting. The lid of the vacuum chamber is very nice, it's thick glass with a nice gasket around the rim. I did return the item. I hope this review helps.

Great vacuum chamber, i used it many times to make molds and aiding in degassing epoxy etc. Very durable last a long time, not the biggest but not the smallest either, however I have yet to max the storage inside for my needed tasks. noise isnt the loudest unit but is definitely on the louder side. Overall great value for what you get and easy to setup and use right away.

My daughter works with resin and this works perfect for her smaller articles.

No problems with the unit at all yet. Great for the price.

Enlève les bulles d’air à la perfection. Très bonne machine. J’ai fais une table rivière epoxy.

Absolutely worth it! I testing it, and didn't loose any pressure after 2 days. Only thing I don't like that the oil is evaporating and creating a smoke ( which is normal) and therefore I recommend to use it only in open air.

Recieved it well packaged but a dent in the edge of the chamber keep it from sealing and working! Bad product would never buy again from this company
