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

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.

Very nice, informative review. Thank you

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

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…

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...

Nice, I like your channel 👍

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... 😛

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

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

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.

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🌷

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.

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

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

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?

👍

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

amazing info... i started watching these videos when covid had things shutdown... now it is the Ukraine sadness... thanks a lot 💝💪🌻 glory to Ukraine

is it possible to buy the FE1W in North America?

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

They remind me of Gypsy from MST3K

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 :)

first look looked like a occopus was attacking you
