SUMMARY
After over a year of use and processing 264+ frames, the AGO Film Processor from Vintage Visual remains a capable mobile developing unit. While its automated agitation and temperature adjustments provide consistent results for various film formats, a seal failure in the original unit led to liquid damage. Vintage Visual addressed this with an improved model and an optional funnel to mitigate chemistry splashing, though a permanently attached USB-C port cover is still desired.

Improvements include an optional funnel to prevent splashing and a USB-C port cover.
A seal failure occurred in the original unit, leading to liquid damage and replacement.
