I've been wanting to pull the trigger on a large flowhood for awhile now, but the lead times and costs were the reason I have not purchased yet. Some sites are selling these exact models for $2999 plus freight. When I stumbled across this it sounded too good to be true! I live in Oklahoma and shipping came Fedex Freight and arrived in literally 3 Days, well packed! Assembly was just screwing in the 4 screws for the blower motor and popping the cover and pre-filter on. You will need a friend to help lift this baby in place but so far its humming along and a few agar transfers look perfect!
Wow beyond impressed with my order! After doing weeks of research and planning to build one of these on my own, I ended up pulling the trigger on a Bonsai. Blowers with the right CFM ratings that fit this size are out of stock everywhere or the ones that are in stock are $500-$600+. I decided to save myself the weekend and headaches of building one my own and I am glad I did! The build quality is better than anticipated. Clearly Bonsai is using some high end cabinet making machinery to build these. I looked around at other smaller sellers on Etsy and Ebay and the lead time is like 5-6 weeks to maybe save $100-$150 max. I ordered one on Thursday 3/16/23 and was delivered on Wednesday 3/22/23, that is jaw-dropping fast for a freight company called RoadRunner that I never heard of. Hats off to everyone, I am beyond pleased and already put 5 hours of time on this baby! Og forgot to mention, its super easy to assemble also! like 10 mins and I was up and running! -Peace!
Ordered 12/14 and received in Cali on 12/20! FedEx freight called me to give me delivery window and was actually on time. They delivered to my garage. I was worried it would not fit through the door but it fit and was easy for my wife and I do unpack and set up. I have been running this hood for about 10 days now and all my agar transfers are clean! Can't beat the price and delivery time for a flowhood of this size. Also want to note that there is no electrical wiring required! Very nice!
Ordered Monday night, shipped on Wednesday received on Friday to East Coast! Can't beat that for a flow hood of this size and finish! I was able to get this up and running in about 15 mins. No electrical wiring! With a friend we unwrapped this, installed the prefilter cabinet, popped in the pre-filter and 4 screws later it was purring like a cat! I have no doubt this works as advertised, seen many reviews on Bonsai's hoods and they all get great reviews. You can tell this was made by true professionals. I am a contractor and I know quality when I see it. All the edges are routed on a CNC machine, the face frame has to be made on a large CNC CAD. These guys are no amateurs!
Great hood. Ordered Sunday, got shipping notice Tuesday and delivered by Friday! Less than 6 days! Outstandning build quality and packed nicely on a skid. Delivered to my garage. Assembly was simple, just needed two people to bring it in the house!
