Need a used lab vacuum for your lab heating, cooling, and vacuum work? You're weighing two different approaches: a higher-capacity HFS pump and a dedicated Savant gel pump. The HFS 2 Stage 12CFM 1HP Laboratory Vacuum Pump VP 2200 is listed at USD 199.00, and the Savant Instruments Laboratory Vacuum Gel Pump GP110-120 is listed at USD 149.00. That $50 price spread frames the key question: do you need the extra airflow and power, or is a lower-priced gel pump the better fit?
Quick verdict
If you want more free air displacement and motor power, the HFS VP 2200 is the stronger pick. It lists 12 CFM, 1 HP, a 2-stage design, and a Portable label. If you want to spend less and need a gel pump, the Savant GP110-120 is the clearer choice.

Product notes
HFS 2 Stage 12CFM 1HP Laboratory Vacuum Pump VP 2200
The HFS VP 2200 is offered with a 2-stage design, 12 CFM free air displacement, and a 1 HP motor. It is labeled Portable. It was tested for power and basic function, though not in the field of use. The unit has a clean silver housing and black components with no visible scratches, scuffs, or dents. Its intended-use categories include biological, dental, medical, microbiological, and physical laboratories. Choose it when you need more airflow and power; the main caveat is that field performance was not verified, so this is a benchwork-focused buy.
Savant Instruments Laboratory Vacuum Gel Pump GP110-120
The Savant GP110-120 is explicitly listed as a gel pump. It was pulled from a working environment and tested only to power on, and it shows some scratches or scuffs from use. Its specialization as a gel pump is exactly what sets it apart from the more general-purpose HFS unit. If your procedure calls for a gel pump, this is the direct match. Expect a used unit with visible wear, and rely on your own power-on check because only power-on testing is noted.
Final choice by use case
Choose the HFS VP 2200 when you need a portable, higher-capacity pump for general lab vacuum work and the 12 CFM/1 HP specification matters more than the extra $50. Choose the Savant GP110-120 when you want a dedicated gel pump and prefer the lower listed price.
