Robinair 18560 Valve Core Remover/lnstaller is "so-so"
586905
The Robinair 18560 Valve Core Remover/lnstaller arrived on time and undamaged. It worked well on two Schrader valve stems, but does not have enough grip for the third stem. It does not seem to have the "grip" that is required. I am going to use a friend's extractor for the third  stem, and hopefully it will work. On the Third stem, it will unscrew it fully, but it looses it's grip on the stem to extract it. I have tried many, many times to get it to work.

This 200 psi hose separated on BOTH ends while connected to my 155 psi compressor causing it to run for probably 20 hours CONTINUOUSLY!  Furthermore the female end must not be true NPT threads since I cannot get it tight enough to eliminate leaks even with high quality pipe dope. I will try to use it anyway with worm gear hose clamps on the barb fittings to replace the thin aluminum crimped ends. I also plan to find an NPT female/barb fitting at local hardware store. Definitely not up to Rapidair's usual quality.

The product works great, but it had a different coupler thread than my previous valve, which required me to de-solder the old coupler, and solder-on the new one. Not a big deal, but still annoying that standards cannot be followed (not sure whose fault it was - the previous valve's manufacturer, or the current one's). The other annoying issue was that the height of this valve was just slightly more than the previous valve, so in addition to desoldering/soldering, I also had to cut down the pipe some to make it fit. Again - no big deal, but it turned a 10 minute job into a several hour slog...

I have bought the 400 A in the past and have been satisfied. I thought I would step up a bit and buy this 400 ARHR for my remaining toilet. Now that I have installed it, I see no real advantage in design or quality compared to the 400 A. The hose has a pinch roller to reduce water flow to the bowl. To me the 400 A sends the correct amount of water without the need for the valve. The warranty is 7 years as opposed to 5 for the 400 A. How many people would really benefit from that? So it's only a toilet and the much less expensive 400 A, will work just fine.

The valve portion gets water "stuck" and if you don't use it regularly the wet get must and nearly impossible to clean.  I ended up soaking the whole lid in vinegar water overnight while periodically flipping the nozzle part back anf fourth, before I could get rid of the smell.

I spent a good hour or so taking my plastics apart, only to find that the filter does not fit my CBR600RR! There are three screws that go into the airbox. The front screw lined up perfectly, but the screws on the sides did not line up even though the filter was sitting flush![...]

The Delta was not American made and it shows, I need to change this valve every couple of years, not very reliable.

I replaced the cold dispensing valve because when my machine reached the rinse cycle it just kept on doing an endless rinse. Even when I shut the machine off the valve didn't shut the flow of water off. So thought I might as well change both. I changed both as I was already in there and the part was inexpensive.  Took me about 15 minutes very easy, the biggest problem I had was sliding the lid back.

valve likely works. I cannot install yet. I obtained a used valve that was simply cut from a pipe with the abs weld still on. I will have to dissolve the weld and hope not to damage. likely not worth the cost savings to get the used version.

Most tubeless values will last years. However, they are prone to gumming up from the tubeless solution and rather than buying a new valve, replacing the core is the cheapest way to get things right again. These work on Trek and Stan values, as well as others, I am sure.

I own two of these automatic toilet flush kit and one manufacted by another company that I purchased on Amazon.  The one from Kohler is not strong enough to lift the flapper on my American Standard Champion 4, but the other one is.  With no load, the wheel travels in a complete circle when activated.  Under load, the wheel travels from to bottom to about half-way up and stops.  I tried it with new Duracell batteries with no luck.  Additionally, it does not seem to work every time and you will find yourself waving frantically to get it to activate.  There may be a reset time involved, so I am not sure if this is a real issue, or just something I experienced while testing.  I was not a fan of the (very quiet) beeping noise, but this is just a nit.  For me, it simply did not succeed in its basic function, so I removed it after only a few minutes.  On a positive note, it was really easy to install.

I purchased this tool after being unable to use the cheap (stamped steel) oil filter wrench which I had previously used routinely for older Toyota 1.8L engines (non cartridge). There were zero problems with order fulfillment.

However, I was disappointed with two things about this tool. First, the fit is a little more sloppy than I anticipated, causing the tool to stick to the housing.

The biggest problem is that I had to go out and buy yet another tool just to use this one. Since it is cast aluminum, you won't be able to reliably use the 3/8 drive for filter removal without damaging the tool. So you must use a 27mm 1/2 drive socket.

I believe the tool would be a much better value if they skip the useless 3/8 drive and cast a 19mm hex instead of 27mm. This size is a much more common size and more people will already have it.

I have gone through a good number of these type of "full flow" manifolds over the years (sometimes under the Craftsman name), mostly because I have waited too long into the colder months to remove them and sometimes did not remove them at all. In the case of the aluminum version I have attempted to leave some on through the whole year, with the same result of leaks developing despite having shut the water pressure off and drained to the extent possible. I decided that the cast metal ones had more problems in the long run - mainly due to substantial corrosion and mineral depositing. In my case the large diameter valves and full flow capability are important so I have stuck with these models despite the fact solid brass may be better. Too bad they don't make a full flow brass version of this.

This is not like the filter you receive with a new Hamilton Beach Air Purifier.  It is over priced as it is only a single-layer pleated filter that does not collect as many particles as the original filter, and it cannot be vacuumed and reused.  The original filter had an additional outer mesh layer on it that is like a collection bucket which removes dust and mini particles from circulating in the room.  (You can easily see these on the filter).  Plus, the original filter could be vacuumed monthly and it continued to filter fabulously.  Mine performed well for about two years.  This Crucial Air filter is not a true air cleaning filter, and it collects so much less that it is not a comparable replacement filter.  And it needs replacing monthly!  And after about a month after installing the Crucial Air filter, my unit began to rattle -- I popped out the filter and the rattling stopped.  Time to replace it!  Consider this:  If you use bought 24 of these and replaced the filter monthly, you'd probably get the same wear as ONE of the original filters (if you cleaned it monthly); AND the original filter would out perform the Crucial Air filter because it permanently removes much more pollen and debri from the air with it's multi-layer design.  If you really want the unit to work properly, avoid this inferior after-market filter.

Sept 2015 --  This is an update to my original review.  Hamilton Beach (HB) has really failed to provide adequate replacement filters for its customers.  After writing my review, I purchased the True Air brand tower filter which had good reviews and it arrived with a mesh outer layer, making me hopeful that it would replace the original filter.  After 30 days, the equipment developed a slight vibration, not as bad as the rattle with the other filter, but it needed cleaning.  After that it worked several more weeks, but required cleaning every two weeks.  And the amount of debri in it did not compare to the original filter.  The original filter in new units is described as a HEPA filter. Neither the True Air nor the Crucial Air filters currently sold are HEPA quality.

I contacted HB, and was told they do not sell HEPA quality replacement filters for this unit, just the True Air replacement filter.  When you look online for a new unit, the specs still say the original filter is HEPA: ".Permanent HEPA-grade filter removes airborne allergens  Filter can be vacuumed clean; no replacement filters to buy."  However, the filter in the new units are white and look like the aftermarket filter sold by TrueAir.  My original filter was grey and the pleats were soft, not stiff like the new filters.

My machine still works well and runs quietly, so I triple cleaned my original 2-year-old filter and it works better than either of the new filters I recently purchased which lasted about two months!  I wish HB would go back to their earlier HEPA filters. The tower was such a good design!  I wish HB would remedy this. If they do not, an affordable option is to replace the tower unit with the HB TrueAir Room Odor Eliminator -- their cube shaped unit which has carbon filters on three sides.  These filters are not HEPA quality and costly to replace as recommended, but the carbon filters capture lots of debri.  I do not use the overpowering "scented" stuff they include with it.  And I vacuum the filters rather than replace them which extends their life and lowers operating costs.  The cube unit works adequately in small rooms, but does not do larger rooms as well as the tower.

I ordered this PCV valve for my '05 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi. I had to do research on other websites to verify that it was the correct one. I used pliers to grab the tab and gently turn and wiggle the old one up and out. After cleaning the old one I did suck-in/blow-through test on both. The old one only worked properly when holding it straight up, while the new one works in any position, even upside-down. I'm hoping this was the causing the oil stains on my air filter.

I found the on/off feature to be non-intuitive and the model I bought only came with one cartridge. I had to use part of the co2 to find the leak and there was not enough left to inflate the tire.

Unfortunately since originally posting I have had to swap out the original kit from Barons because the compression fitting on the bottom line located on the filter end started leaking.  This occurred a few months after I had installed it.  So I installed the replacement in which all the lines came pre-torqued.  After a few months the same thing happened again oil leaks from the compression fittings.  No amount of thread sealant will make a difference.  I will most likely be switching back to the stock oil filter....once you perform the oil change a few times it doesn't take as long.  The idea of the re-location kit is nice but after two attempts and two leaking kits it is not worth it.  I've seen images online of a version of the kit that seems to have different oil lines than the one I have.  Not sure if Barons has released a new model that is less likely to leak.
