That's really cool and affective at getting the fumes away from you and keeping them out of your lungs nice product. As always keep up the great work Tim love to watch and learn from your videos
I recently lost a very good friend as a result of years of breathing welding fumes. I guess he wasn't very careful when he was younger. One of the nicest dudes you could ever know.
Another great video Tim . . . you have morphed into an honest salesman . . .lol. Thanks for highlighting the key features of this equipment. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Sir.
@@fumedog Excellent to know, I was expecting a higher price, but this fume dog is quite attractive and innovative in a "kiss" of keeping it simple, in maintaining it. As an old welder/fitter I appreciate this safety vs a shop door open for air quality which was quite normal in my time and era - we were expendable work force, out with the old in with the new.
@@fumedog , any other cheaper solutions for us MIG wire and TIG garage hobbyist? Yesterday I ordered a Lincoln Mini Fume X for $1,500 and it has limited air flow, but it’s much smaller than this machine.
@@rays9033 We've been struggling with that for awhile. Those smaller units generally run on brush motors which will generally last about a year before the brushes run out and need to be replaced. Not a super difficult thing to do, but we are concerned about the customer being upset about having to do that. That and the limited performance you can get out of those types of units gives us pause. The internal debate for us really revolves around us being able to do something new and unique if we get into those smaller "suitacse" units vs a "me too" product that Lincoln, Miller, and Diversitech already offer.
Great video and good attention to detail. Keep up the great content and thank you for all the time and effort putting out these videos. If you are TIG welding and the gas you use is heavier than air would that drop-downwards to the floor prior to the fume extractor catching it? also if the gas is drawn into the extractor wouldn’t that stay within your room, especially if you have the exhaust within the room also and the door closed, possibly? it would be nice to see an oxygen sensor placed around the room to see the effects. Thanks for the tool review Tim. Have a great festive break. Enjoy your family time. D
It's extremely effective at filtering fume particles from welding and the associated smell, which is what you're primarily dealing with when arc welding. From what I understand, it isn't the right setup to filter vapors or gasses from special processes or painting.
Does anyone know of a fume extractor system for the hobbyist? Or am I better off (my wallet speaking) to use one of those $100 round portable explosion fans with a hose that fits the fan? I think Miller or Lincoln has a portable unit for around $2,000, but that's a lot for a hobbyist. It may be cheaper and easier to buy a shop vac and sit it outside with a long extension hose to evacuate the fumes?
That's not what I would consider a true fume extractor. It'll get rid of a lot of particulate matter (and down to how many microns), but what about actual gases, like nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, phosgene, etc? You'd need to vent those outside to get rid of those.
It is expensive, as are all fume extractors. I gear most of my videos toward hobbyists, but also have quite a few viewers who work in shops and may benefit from learning about products like this. I made a budget friendly one from a Harbor Freight blower and dryer vent tube a couples years ago on the channel that’s a great option and worked for me for a long time.

With a foot of snow outside it would be awesome to not have to open the garage door. Probably to big for my place but that would be nice!
That is a really good extractor. I can see the smoke / fumes moving away from your helmet and into the extractor.
Thanks for the review Tim! You did a better job explaining it than we do sometimes ha ha

Wow! Great vacuum.
What an awesome product and great review!
$5,349.00 USD for the unit I did not see, or can not find the price on a replacement filter?
Hey sir! Filters are $115 ea, but you can also find them for less on filter websites like Filter Professor.

@@ApocalypsesandSurvival Thanks sir! That means a lot to us. And yea, things have changed quite a bit. One step at a time!

Well done! Nice review Tim
Great video, I actually already got a quote for one (wall mounted). I’m curious how many features carry over from that model to this one

This is super interesting. $5k is a bit much right now but I might reconsider at the end of the year.
Tim does this machine filter the fume smell ? Like a gas filter ? Once air has passed thru back into garage?

Who made fume dog ?
Nice fume extractor, how much cost?

Have you tried looking on Amazon? I bought one for about $400. It works fabulous.
Good review
Just need to sell on of my kidneys to get one🤣
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼🎄😎
$5,000 ?

$5,000 is a little steep for my wallet I’ll build an exhaust system instead.
$5K, yes, but paint it blue and it is $15K!
lmao that thing cost nearly $6000. You can just make a custom one yourself that's more efficient than that machine for $1000
I thought this channel was for home-shop type welders. $5000+ is *not* hobby level money, that's some serious dough.

Absolutely a rip off. I could make one for 200 bucks, same filter.
