I bought this with a dash of skepticism. I have been using a 30 watt Roly diode laser for about 9 months and have tried several things to deal with the fumes. I bought an inline fan and vented through a basement window for several months, but my wife who seems to smell just about anything was always complaining about the smell. At one point I decided it wasn't worth the hassle and was going to sell the laser. I could certainly smell the laser when it was working but it didn't bother me all that much.I decided to keep the laser and I moved it out to the garage and ran the vent out through a partially open garage door. The problem there was as it got colder, it got too cold to be out there. So... the next step was to but some vinyl strips and create an air barrier for the partially open door. That worked reasonably well, but it was still a bit cold to sit at the laser (and my garage is actually heated).As a last ditch I decided to look into fume extractors. I had taken a look before, but the cost was just a bit too high to consider. I did a lot of looking and came across this extractor. it was one of the lower priced units and had good reviews. I bought it fully expecting to return it. I just didn't think it would make a big enough difference to warrant the expense. I was wrong... at least for now.I hooked the extractor up to my laser and did some test cuts in 1/8 plywood. I was letting the extractor just vent into the garage. My first attempt was impressive. I could barely smell the laser. It was even better than when I vented through the basement window. There was way less smoke build up inside the laser enclosure and if I stepped away from the machine, I could hardly smell anything.I have only done a few sessions with the laser since installing but if it holds up, this is a great solution for the price. I can now sit at my laptop right next to the laser and smell only faint smells of the burning wood smell. It comes with ten of the first stage filters and I plan to change those frequently to try and keep the other two filters clean as they are pricey. I'm hoping the filters last a while before needing to be changed. I'll update if anything changes but if you are considering a fume extractor, I'd keep this one at the top of the list.

After many hours searching, this is the extractor we decided on for our fiber laser set up. I can tell you it’s everything we wanted and more!We had a switch damaged in transit and the team was quick to make it right! Thank you again!

I use this with a desktop CO2 laser. It has more than enough power and I rarely run this over 50% power. It filters extremely well (although I still vent it outdoors). The machine itself is built of high quality steel casing that is nicely padded with a rubber/foam insulator that helps with the sealing and noise. Feels really high quality down to the wheels they chose to install on this model. Filters are kind of pricey, but the set gives you ample first layers (which are the ones you replace the most) so it times well with when you need to refresh the other filters too.Please keep the filters around for a long time! Anyone looking for a mid-tier fume extractor, I would highly recommend this.

Well, no matter how good at filtering the air this is, it doesn't really matter if you can't control it. During my testing, the dial to turn it on and off and change how fast it goes stopped working. Interestingly, though, it seems to be stuck on full power, so it technically still functions. You just can't turn it down or turn it off without unplugging it. If it weren't for this defect, I would have probably rated it pretty highly, as it does have good airflow with some very thick filters. But obviously, there might be some quality control issues with this. So I would say get at your own risk.

I have a 40W Xtool laser engraver/cutter. Unless you're using a laser cutter outside with a nice breeze, a fume extractor is essential. This one is a bit pricey at over $500. I'm a retired electronics technician. I've been building and repairing electronic gadgets for over 40 years. I just can't see why these extractors cost so much. They are basically a motor in a box with filters, and the relatively simple electronics to control speed etc. This one does seem a little more upscale than the other two I've reviewed. It exudes quality. It has a brushless motor. The fit and finish is top notch. It is quiet for the amount of suction it has. It works very well on my laser cutter taking away smoke and fumes. Knocking off one star because I don't think it should be this expensive for what it is and does.

I have it connected to my xTool S1 and it does a great job of pulling in and filtering the fumes from cutting and engraving wood projects. So far, I have only needed to use a low speed setting to collect all of the smoke; I might need to increase that for other projects but it seems to have plenty of capacity if that is needed.

This fume extractor is impressively powerful and well built. It can move a serious amount of air and it does it all through 3 layers of filters so that even if you vent to the outside you're not spreading pollutants into the environment. The 4" (100mm) inlet creates a positive suction and is the standard diameter for the exhaust opening of laser engravers. The fume extractor is surprisingly quiet for how powerful it is. It's rated at about 50dB which is about the same as the small air purifier I keep by my bed specifically for the white noise to help me sleep. The fume extractor includes the necessary filters as well as a few extra pre-filters. Keeping a fresh pre-filter in it will extend the life of the other more expensive filter layers. It's very easy to use, very effective, and feels like a quality product that should last quite a few years. I'm very happy with this fume extractor.

I now have my laser where I am working. Used to have to unplug my computer and take over to the laser which was by the window. Now I have a long pipe attached to this Fume Extractor and out the window like before. This makes it so much easier!Not loud at all, matches the noise from the laser!I recommend for anyone that is doing projects with any cutting machines or printers!
