From small studios to busy workshops, it's helped a lot of users finally get their air quality under control.

But instead of us telling you how good it is, let's hear directly from people who are actually using the FC-350 every day.

Fumeclear Buyer's Voice

👤Alexie Jenkins

I use this fume extractor during keratin treatments

"I use this fume extractor during keratin treatments and it works very well. It significantly reduces fumes and makes the procedure much more comfortable for both the stylist and the client. A wider hood-shaped attachment would make it even better, but overall it’s a great machine for salon work."

👤Glenn G

"I use the FC-350 for soldering and 3D printing inside my home office. It has been tremendous at eliminating fumes not only in my office but throughout the house. Highly recommended."

👤Ops

Performing Exceptionally Well in Our Production Environment

"The FC-350 has been performing exceptionally well in our production environment. Compared to our previous unit, it provides significantly higher airflow and much better fume capture. Odor during engraving is nearly eliminated, and the workspace is noticeably cleaner and more comfortable."

👤Dan

FumeClear FC350 working well

"This machine has worked reliably for over a year alongside my laser cutter. The airflow indicator is a helpful reminder for filter changes, and the performance has been consistent. I would definitely purchase another unit for future setups."

👤BushPig Design

FumeClear FC350, clearly the best!

"I have a very small office where I create designs for laser engraving, and both the laser and FC-350 sit in the same space. This unit is fantastic at keeping the air clean — no smells at all. Highly recommended for small fiber laser businesses."

👤Bert G

Game changer for my projects

"Upgrading to the FC-350 made a dramatic difference in air quality in my workspace. The airflow is strong enough to pull metal particles when working with brass, and the larger filters last much longer. I’m already considering a second unit."

👤Ken M

AMAZING!!!

"This product was more than I thought it would be... I have no wood burning smells while the machine is on and no lingering odors afterwards. Way more than I expected, so much so that when I put into service my larger laser machine I will NOT use the one it came with, I will definitely purchase another 350... thank you for a REALLY GREAT EXTRACTOR!!!"

👤Mike F

GREAT PRODUCT

"We have been using this filter/fume extractor for over a year and a half now. It's amazing and really does a great job filtering. We make nameplates for dog collars and it captures the brass dust amazingly!"

👤Rois R

Great product!

"After looking at many different options I decided on the FC-350. It has turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. It allows me to run my enclosed 60 watt CO2 laser indoors with little to no smell."

👤Ken S

The FC-350 is the way to go for a small shop

"The FC-350 allows us to operate our open frame 64-watt diode laser in a single car garage without any residual smell after the jobs are finished. We mostly run it on half speed, which is plenty of airflow to remove smoke from the laser honeycomb bed. Even the next morning, there is no lingering wood smoke smell. We also love how easy it is to switch back to the supplied hose and move it around the shop."

👤Stephen C

FC-350 works for me

"The FC-350 allows me to operate two lasers at once with little to no odors. I can cut and emboss wood without triggering the smoke detector, and it also works well for burning paint off metal tumblers and ammo cans. Highly recommended if you're unable to vent outside."

👤Armen A

FC-350

"After purchasing the FC-350, I can say this fume extractor is very powerful and more than enough for my 60W fiber laser. I'm extremely satisfied with the suction and highly recommend it for peace of mind and clean air."
