Review: Excellent build quality and very quiet compared to other cheaper, lower rated CFM pumps - Very high quality pump. I've owned others and not only could I tell an immediate difference in build quality by how heavy and well put together this pump is compared to the others but the quietness and deep vacuum ability are unparalleled. I live in the NE heights of Albuquerque so my elevation is around 5400ft (1645 meters) above sea level. Most people forget to calculate elevation into the amount of mercury your able to pull but I'm here to tell you it factors a GREAT DEAL INTO IT. For instance at my elevation I'm only supposed to be able to pull 25inHg with a vacuum pump that pulls 29-30inHg at sea level (San Diego, CA for instance). So if your at a high elevation like me(Denver for instance) and can't understand why your vacuum pump rated for 29inHg is only pulling 25, it's not the pumps fault (more then likely). Bc the higher your elevation the lower the available atmospheric pressure. Why the meteorology lesson you say?! I'll get to the point. Even tho this pump or any pump is technically supposed to only be able to produce 25inHg at 5400ft it was consistently producing beyond that teetering between 27-28inHg which I was very impressed by- I mean it's kind of defying the laws of physics w/those #'s ;) ! The fact that it's a dual stage pump means that if your in a hurry it should be able to boil any moisture from the system in about half the time of a single stage. I can't say whether it'll happen to you but before I had a chance to use it for a reason that escapes me atm I was going to return it so they offered me ~60-70$ off to keep it and I accepted (wouldn't hurt to try..we could all use a little help in this rigged economy) I've had it for about a year and a half at this point and used it to pull vacuum on 3 different vehicles (one of which I've pulled a few times bc of how old and long it was open to the elements) and the oil is still really clean. I bought replacement robinair oil tho so I'll be changing it before the next run for maintenance-also bc it is a tad low. It won't kill it if you do -ask me how I know- but the oil fill port is not the big cap that says oil directly above the drain screw- it's right next to the front of the handle I'll update review if I have any issues - I don't suspect I'll have any. Sorry for the winded review! Hopefully it helps someone! Review: Worked flawlessly for me - 5 CFM model has plenty of capacity for home residential system use - My 15500 arrived beat to death in shipping, but despite that, it sure worked well. I was careful to follow the oil fill directions in the manual, and had no problems. I attached a micron gauge to the vacuum port, and it pulled down to 7 microns. Outstanding. Pros on Youtube will show you all manner of elaborate hookups, and they need those when speed is important, but since I was just evacuating a 3/4" line set and evaporator coil for a new heat pump install, I decide to try a simple hookup. The pump connected to the service hose on my manifold gauge set (standard 1/4" hoses). The low-side hose connected to the suction service valve through the straight-thru port on a Yellow Jacket core tool (core was removed from the service valve. The high-side hose connected to the liquid line service valve through a T fitting that came with the CPS micron gauge. I left the schrader valve core in place on the liquid side. The micron gauge went on the T fitting side port, through a Yellow Jacket ball valve so I could isolate the gauge. First pass, this little pump pulled it down to 200 microns within 45 minutes. I stopped it and isolated the pump using the valves on the manifold gauge. As expected, the reading rose, stabilizing around 980 microns. It held below 1000 microns for three hours. Second pass, it pumped down to 150 microns; I did not time it, but it was between 30 minutes and an hour that I left it alone - that's plenty fast enough for my purposes. Pump isolated, it stabilized around 350 microns, well within the heat pump manufacturer's guidelines. Job done. I found it to be fairly quiet too. I think this pump has plenty of capacity and it performs very well. Pros who need a pump for the most demanding daily use might want something else, but this Robinair is fine for the rest of us. ## Features - [MULTI-USE] - Robinair's 15500 VacuMaster Economy Vacuum Pump is designed for use with A/C-R systems using CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs in conjunction with mineral oil, ester oil, alkyl benzene oil, and PAG oil as lubricants - [HIGH VACUUM RATING] - Two-stage rotary vane design provides powerful, quiet, high vacuum capability and ensures moisture removal, while the high pumping capacity reduces evacuation time - [LIFETIME FILTRATION] - Intake screen prevents foreign matter from entering the pumping chamber while an internal exhaust filter separates oil vapor from the exhaust flow - [SURE-GRIP HANDLE] - One-piece molded handle makes it easy to carry the pump to and from job sites; handle stays cool to the touch during operation allowing rapid take down when the job is done - [COMPACT DESIGN] - Aluminum housing and rotary vanes keep the pump weight low, making it easy to carry to and from the job site - [PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS] - 5 CFM free air displacement; factory rated to 35 microns; 1/2 HP, 115V/60 Hz thermally protected motor - [KEY FEATURES] – Finned aluminum surfaces for fast heat dissipation, 1/4 inch MFL & 3/8 inch ACME inlet fittings, 3/8 inch FFL x 1/2 inch Acme adapter, easy to read sight glass, easy access oil fill port, and angled oil drain valve for faster oil changes - [BEST PERFORMANCE] - To achieve best performance and highest attainable vacuum, Robinair recommends the use of its Premium High Vacuum Pump Oil (Available separately in 13119 Pint, 13203 Quart, and 13204 Gallon sizes) and changing oil after each use - Engineered specifically for air conditioning and refrigeration service and built with Robinair feets proven offset rotary vane for fast and thorough evacuation - The two-stage offset rotary vane design provides powerful quiet high vacuum capability and assures moisture removal while the high pumping capacity reduces evacuation time - The intake filter prevents foreign matter from entering the pumping chamber and an internal exhaust filter separates oil vapor from the exhaust flow - Pump measures just 13 inch long while the aluminum housing and offset rotary vanes keep the pump weight low making it easy to carry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000O1C47M | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,353 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #24 in Air Conditioning Vacuum Pumps | | Brand | Robinair | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,430) | | Date First Available | April 2, 2004 | | Item Weight | 21 pounds | | Item model number | 15500 | | Manufacturer | Robinair | | Manufacturer Part Number | 15500 | | Model | 15500 Vac Pump | | Safety Rating | Não aplicavel | | Voltage | 115 volts | | Wattage | 700 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Robinair - **Color:** Red - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00637335016248 - **Item Weight:** 21 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Robinair - **Material:** Aluminum - **Maximum Flow Rate:** 5 Cubic Feet Per Minute - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Style:** 5 CFM - **Voltage:** 115 Volts ## Images ![Robinair 15500 VacuMaster Economy Vacuum Pump for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Service, 2-Stage, 5 CFM, 1/3HP 115V/60HZ Motor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b4uz+jb6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can the exhaust fitting (the big red plastic cap) accept a pipe fitting?** A: The exhaust fitting does not accept a standard NPT fitting, the exhaust female thread is 7/8" in dia and 16 tpi.7/8" ID lies between pipe size 1/2 and 3/4 **Q: Can you tell the rated hp for this pump? I need one to easily keep 11 lbs vacuum using a pressure guage. Thanks!** A: Bonnie - 1/3 hp. It will hold 28 to 30in Hg in smaller sealed systems, such as automotive AC. Note that vacuum in this unit is constant and increases up to about 30in Hg. The equivalent in PSIa (a = absolute) for 30in Hg is roughly 15 PSIa. Note also that you will require a vacuum gauge to monitor vacuum; not a pressure gauge. Hope that helps. **Q: Can i use different brand oil? Or has to be same brand?** A: Any brand of vacuum pump oil can be used. **Q: What is the Warranty on this pump?** A: It has a Limited Warranty for 1yr from dat of purchase ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent build quality and very quiet compared to other cheaper, lower rated CFM pumps *by S***N on June 21, 2025* Very high quality pump.
