MUIN Solder Fume Extractor - 3 Stage Filtration Solder Smoke Absorber for Soldering and Wood Burning,Portable Soldering Fume Extractor Fan for Soldering Station (Black)

I recently picked up the MUIN Solder Fume Extractor, and so far, it’s doing exactly what I need it to do. I use it mainly for soldering electronics and occasional wood burning, and it makes a noticeable difference in keeping fumes away from my breathing space.Performance: The suction power is solid for its size. As long as you position it fairly close to your work area, it pulls the smoke in effectively. My workspace stays much clearer, and I feel better knowing I’m not inhaling fumes during long projects.Filtration: The 3-stage filtration system seems to do a good job. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in the lingering smell after soldering. The filters are easy to access for future replacements, which I appreciate.Noise Level: The noise level is reasonable. It’s not silent, but it’s definitely quiet enough that it doesn’t interfere with concentration or conversations. Noise is subjective, but for me, it’s not distracting during use.Design & Portability: The unit is lightweight and easy to reposition if needed. It doesn’t take up much space on my bench, and the build quality feels solid. The sleek black design is a nice bonus—it looks professional.Overall: If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable fume extractor for soldering or wood burning, I’d definitely recommend this one. It works well, is easy to use, and gives peace of mind when working on projects.I will update after a couple months of use.

Although I still would solder in a more open area, this really does help with removing all that bad fumes away from you. I usually do a bunch of replacements on chips and doing soldering so this works great for that. When I am heating a chip off, it keeps the flux odor from coming right at me while also allowing me to maintain visual of the area I am trying to work on. The filters are pretty nice and they are pretty effective. I can see the amount of build up on the filter after several uses. It comes with three filters so you can use that how you will. I am unsure if they are able to sell replacement or if you can just wash this and reuse them. I am not entirely sure how long you can use each filter for but use your best judgement when working with this. The device is not extremely heavy but can be a bit loud. You need to make sure it is not too far from where you are soldering (five inches is recommended). It can pull the fumes away pretty well. The fan really only has one setting so you are not able to increase the speed. I honestly would not want to. The fan does cause vibrations but it does not cause the device to fall over or anything. It stands up pretty well. It is light and small enough where you can easily move this around as needed. Replacing the filter is not too hard. You just remove the front panel and swap out the filter. Although this does filter out the harmful fumes, I would still recommend you solder in an open area. Overall the device works pretty well. It is well built but easy to disassemble so you can replace the filters as needed. The device stands well but the fan can be a tad bit loud. Because you are working closely to it you, it can be a bit annoying. The filters do the job in keeping the fumes to a minimum. Would I say it is perfect? No which is why I suggest you still use this as well as solder in a more open area just to be safe. The fan is solid. It also has plenty of grills to protect your hand so you do not get it caught in the blades. It eliminates a good amount of fumes so you can be a bit safer in your work space.

It works really well! The suction is good and it is not anywhere near as loud as previous units I’ve owned, and this is ways cheaper! I’m so happy about it and I will definitely recommend it to anyone hoping to find a good extractor!

No more breathing in toxic fumes. Build seems pretty good! Only time will tell!

Powerful and great for desktop soldering jobs. I work on some small project at home and a full air hood wasnt worth it for me, but this was a perfect middle ground that allows for some fume extraction while still being quite compact and versatile.

I will be the first to admit that I prefer solder that contains lead and of course that comes with certain risks. Obviously breathing in any smoke from soldering is not really great for you health, so I decided to invest in this.The product feels very durable, but I don't recommend knocking it off your workbench just for fun. It is not dead silent, but it is not obnoxiously loud. It has excellent air flow and pulls the smoke away from the component I am soldering instantly. Not only does it save your lungs, but it also makes it easier to see what you are soldering since the smoke is being pulled away.For the money, it is completely worth it. I really wish I would have gotten this when I started working on electronics. Definitely a game changer!

Does the job if you place it close enough. Air volume is low.

It's an overly simple device - a fan, some square filters, and some plastic to hold it all together. Issues: (1) The detachable front face was falling off - I guess because the tolerance in the shape of the plastic is too high to guarantee a snug fit at the latches. I used a hot air gun to soften the plastic on the bottom of the face and deform the latch area ever so slightly to lift the lip maybe 1/32-inch (see picture). Now it snaps into place with a reassuring "click!". (2) There's no rubber on the bottom feet, so it slides around really easy. I'm happy overall.
