Fumeclear® FC-2001A Fume Extractor for Soldering

I bought it for my xTool M1 Ultra. It works great but it isn't enough to remove the smell completely.

I'd still recommend it!

I print DTF therefore this fume extractor is very important. I have it just above the DTF oven vent and it works perfectly. The extension hose is easy to maneuver and it is sturdy. I like that it doesn't fall down but it stays in place. When I need a larger one for my upcoming shaker and oven, I will buy this brand again in the larger size.
When I first set it up, I had the extractor nozzle all the way down over the oven vent which prevented the oven from maintaining temperature. Make sure that it is not directly on the oven vent.
I print in my basement so the noise level of the extractor is not an issue for me. My printer and my furnace are much louder and I don't consider those things uncomfortably loud.

I use it for my BGA machine with large chips so a lot of flux smoke when desoldering. It works great!

I needed a small portable fume extractor that I could travel with. This FC2001A does the job that I need and it is significantly better at filtering out toxic fumes compared to the cheap Weller/Hakko/Kotto desktop smoke absorbers (which are basically a 1/4" charcoal filter with a fan behind it). I think it's also better than the Kingsom SOON1 because it has a thicker/better filter and does not need a special DC power cord (like the Kingsom). That being said, the unit does have to be running at full speed and the suction hood needs to be placed directly over your solder smoke (you only get 70cfm out of this unit). Otherwise, there just is not enough air/CFM to move the smoke into the dust tube. It is small and very light weight. I can fit this unit AND the tube into a Dewalt 18 inch rolling tool storage bag (DWST560107) and still have room for a small soldering station and all the extra tools/materials that I need for working at a remote location. If you need a permanent desktop fume extractor the FC-100A is a much better choice, but my minimum recommendation would be something like a FC-2002 (which is a floor unit).

Works great with my DTF oven.

Works incredibly well compared to a standard horizontal fan, especially with bulky work like a guitar

Failed LEV Test. Unit is not safe to use for solder extraction.

Purchased this for my jewelry bench and so far very pleased with it. Using it for soldering and wax carving fumes. It has worked well on every setting, with each project. Worth the small investment!

Does exactly as it is supposed to do. The distance from the work does matter, depending on the fan speed you use. It is far noisier than I had expected, but soldering is far more tolerable when not breathing the smoke. Not sure why I waited so long to get one. Have been soldering seriously for a very long while. Video at fan speed 2.

While you are shopping, get a Smart Infrared Tip Cleaner. You'll be glad you did.

Bought two of these for my jewelry studio to extract soldering fumes. I'm very happy with the quality of the product, it's both effective and quiet
