    New vacuum pump suggestions

    Hi guys I could use some suggestions. My secondhand Robinair vac pump isn't really doing the job anymore and i feel like its a good time to upgrade. Doing mostly resi and light commercial ac service, occasionally an install. Thanks for the input

    Love my JB. Wish it would break so I could look at the Appion.

    if you dont have a lot to spend get new (or used) JB pump.

    Or if you have the budget for it go for the Appion pump. I have both (and a YJ super evac as a spare) but the appion is the first choice.

    My thought are that if they say Appion they are probably very good. That being said I get the black hoses from United and have been quite pleased.
