recovery machines

[caosesvida]

I am switching over from commercial to residential. I was doing mostly 22 and now I need a machine that will do 410. what do you guys recommend? I don't plan on doing a large volume of business, sort of slowing down as I get older. Will probably be units under 10 pounds so large volume is not needed. Light weight would probably be a plus, and cost is a consideration. Looks like most are about $600 to $700. Thanks for any help on this. kevin

I have the promax 5410EX I happy with does 410a fine.

Appion twin V is lite weight and fast and loud. not sure how it dose with 410a.

I love my small G5 twin........http://www.johnstonesupply.com/203/t...uct_group=1001 It's 2 pounds lighter then my tool bag.

I highly recommend the appion G5 twin. It weighs about 23lbs and is nice and small. It recovers super fast and is rated for 410a. You can get a used one on ebay for about $300 or get a new one from a supply house for about $650. They are easily repaired in the field aswell.

check other threads on this board, still no change, appion G5 beats all others. They do have now a smaller model appion G1. I bet for residential it will be enough. http://www.appioninc.com/products/g1features.html

i just bought the appion g5 twin. i havent used it yet but it is very small and light. i bought it from a guy on craigslist for $500 cash. still in the box brand new. probably stolen, i know. too good a deal to pass up.

I like mine. It's noisy, but it moves a lot of refrigerant fast. Tech support said not to try to throttle the flow. It's designed to run full tilt. I'm not used to that, but I've recovered a few system with it so far, and it hasn't tripped the reset yet.

the G5 twin by appion can't go wrong on size weight

Can anyone tell me where the G5 is made?

I know the Reftec Diablo is made in the USA.

They are very comparable to one another, the choice may come down to where it was made. I am not supporting China anymore than I have to.

I'd never heard of the Diablo until reading this thread. OTOH, I'd never heard of the Appion G5 twin until reading a previous thread. Whether it's the best or not doesn't matter, it's what I have and it does a fine job.

[beachtech]

the appion does a great job sompared to older and lesser recovcery machines it beats the crap out the high dollar Y/J recovery machines

the diablo is fairly new, and if someone is in the market today i would recommend it over anything else right now
