just had to pay deposit and got it back on return.
I let that thing vacuum for hours and tested. Make sure they give you new oil for vacuum. Then left it over night checking for leaks.
used my harbor freight gauges to charge it following Vintage airs specific instructions and oil weight using scale. that thing blows so much cold air my kids make me turn it off. what i saved paid for the gauges to have next time
