BACOENG 12 L Stainless Steel Vacuum Chamber with Tempered Glass Lid Especially for stabilizing Wood

High-quality item for the price

I go this to help with a large epoxy project initially. I decided to go for the tempered glass lid as I read reviews about the plastic one being damaged by some chemicals. The lid is solid and quite heavy. The chamber seems well made and I'm glad a got the 12L versions as it seems like the sweet spot for having enough room and not being to large to store. The valve assemble all worked fine for me and was simple to use. Seemed to hold a vacuum well right out of the box but sometimes the lid needs to be wiggled or pushed down to get that initial seal. Made a big different with the epoxy and removed a lot of trapped air. Came with spares and the vacuum hose also seems well made so hoping that this all lasts a long time.

When I got this, it didn't seem to be leaking but would lose most of its vacuum within 15 minutes - warming the glass+seal in the sun made no difference. The fitting on the side of the pot seemed looser than I would've expected and the gauge/valves moved around freely. The nut on the inside could only be tightened slightly as there was no washer and I didn't want to damage the rubber seal. Adding a steel washer allowed this fitting to be tightened considerably. The whole fitting feels much more rigid and the pot now holds a vacuum for several hours with no discernible change to the pressure inside.

I got this to degas silicone and stabilise wood for knife scales and its working great. I'm glad I paid the extra for this larger 12l version as it gives more room for larger containers if I ever need to do a larger project. I like that the pressure gauge is on the vessel instead of the lid as it makes it easier to see what you're working on. The glass top version is more expensive than the acrylic versions, but its needed if working with wood stabilising resins. The lid is a big thick slab of toughened glass, with a thick silicone rubber gasket around the edge. It sits perfectly flat on the rim of the steel vessel and gets a perfect seal. The pressure gauge maxed out at -1 bar and stayed there. The whole thing is looks and feels heavy duty and built to last.

Easy to order, arrived quickly, better than expected. The glass top is very sturdy. It takes a little juggling to get a seal (probably because it was new and in a cold room) once sealed works very well. Really impressed.

Unacceptable. Arrived with tempered glass lid cracked in two places. Now need to waste more time and money returning and sourcing a replacement.

Have used it 3 times so far. Holds -29inHg vacuum for many hours without any leak.

Great little chamber helps me out with my crafting

good

Devo dire che è realizzata molto bene, buona qualità dei materiali, vetro molto spesso, guarnizione di buona qualità, perfetto il funzionamento (la utilizzo per degasare resine poliestere bicomponente) insieme ad una pompa per vuoto bistadio. Ritengo molto comodo il fatto che manometro e tubazioni non sono fissate al coperchio ma alla parete del contenitore, questo permette una più semplice apertura.

Tres bonne qualité .

Erstklassige Verarbeitung, nach 24 Stunden Test ist das erzeugte Vakuum noch voll erhalten. Test bei leerem und sauberem Gefäß, klasse...

Great chamber
