Pros & Cons
Pros
Only issue i can see is in the manual it states to remove and discard the exhaust plug from the exhaust fitting.
Robinair is an extremely well known and well made hvac guage. It is rated to surpass epa vacuum regulations. Amazon pack this and a 30# recovery cylinder in the same heavy box.
This 15500 is so light and running smooth and zero walk. It easily pulls a vacuum to 29 mmhg or more on my 5 gal vessel, in about 5-10 seconds. Cfm easily acheives 30 vacuum to check for leaks, pull in compressor oil and refrigerant.
Cons
Purchasing this model pump from somewhere other than amazon was my mistake. The warranty is a joke. Returning to amazon the day of arrival would not pull a good vacuum out of the box.
Highlights
Quality
Durable build nice to carry around not heavy or bulky
Works great didnt experience any issue while operating the pump suggest to get extra oil bottle for oil change
After installing mini split hooked it up and it vacuumed down to 49 microns in under 5 minutes
First time powering it up it pulled the rated vacuum quickly when deadheaded
Price
Great value for what you pay for
This pump is powerful and fairly quick as well for the cost
As a residential hvac tech i’ll say this for the money it does good
Shipping
Arrived as promised works as it should
Packaging/appearance
First one was stolen second one is still working excellent but i needed a larger pump for package units
In fact the previous owner cut into the user manual plastic bag and into the user manual when he opened the box
Competitiveness
Even better since they are made with american pride in wisconsin
Much better quality than the lower priced generic pumps although this robinair pump is made in china where as i thought they were us made
This product came up in many searches recommended by hvac instructors at a price hundreds less than many competitors

As another reviewer noted be aware that the initial setup instructions tell you to 34remove and discard the exhaust plug from the exhaust fitting34
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The exhaust fitting is the cap in the large hole centered on the top surface of the front of the pump above the oil level sight glass
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The vent cap says 34oil34 on it with some arrows that i suppose are supposed to indicate that it is an oil exhaust vent
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I took the cap off looked at it and found there was no plug to remove
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The instruction concerning a plug to be removed must be for an older model a different model or a different exhaust cap and does not apply to this pump
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Do not confuse the oil exhaust vent cap with the oil fill cap
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The fill cap is smaller and is located next to the handle directly across from the intake port
