Pros & Cons
Pros
The aoyue 486 evacuates the solder fumes pretty well. If you have sinus problems or an aversion to wood smoke this is a great product. I use mine for soldering stained glass to remove the fumes and it works great!
Works like a charm. I'm sure i'm using this all for the wrong reasons, but it sure does work great! But fortunately, none of these upgrades are needed, the product works well as is.
It's super powerful in that position and catches everything. It's probably louder than you expect but it's not too loud. It is a little loud, but it pulls the fumes away very well.
It is very durable and has a sturdy feel to it. Perfect for taking to workshop.
Cons
When i jiggle the power cord the fan intermittently stops working. Exhaust hose is too large and does not fit the fan - wrong part provided? If multiple reviewers are reporting this, there is obviously a major design flaw.

This is because i realised that the steel part that holds the fan up can be loosened and then a spool of solder and solder wick can be added

Normally i thought my face was so attractive that the smoke couldn’t resist it but it’s no match to this smoke sucker

Great to have at the workbench—sucks up solder smoke and i’ve set it up so it throws it out the window by the desk
