This is a great item. What I like most is that it folds up very easyinto a rectangle shape for storing in a closed shelf. It's about the same noise level as a vaccum but not as loud as a shop vac. I also got the tubing for the solvent based paints I use. Know that the end of the tube most go out a window. It comes with a base that spins to place your items that you are airbrushing on which was a nice surprise. The airfiler is a simple blue mesh filter that can easily be replaced. I will just use some left over mesh fish filter once it needs replacing. It's made out of plastic and very sterdy. For lights I use a daylight desklamp 65k bulb. I do that as it's the closest to natually.....daylight....as the bulb states and not yellow in color like most incandescent bulbs. The longest I've used it for is about 4 hours straight and my ears were ringing, next time I'm using foam earplugs. I'm very happy with the price and quality of this product

Was skeptical. No longer. I took the plunge.

Noise levels. What are people thinking? This is not designed to spray during the movie! It is just fine. It is not loud enough to drown out the sound of the airbrush. Perfect solution.

Suction. Beauteous!! Remove much of the overspray. If you point it I. A strange direction or a part that hangs out of the unit, it will not suck it down. I probably should tape down paper shields but I don't. I have 50 coats of various paint colors all over including the turn table and it works excellently!

Exhaust hose. Ya, it is cumbersome. But that is actually a good thing. It is fairly rigid and pretty much will stay where you put it. Standard dryer hose size so if you don't like the rigidity, you can buy the flexible kind and exhaust it clear into the neighbors house. I love the one provided.

The only thing that I don't like is the compartment for the little power puck. It takes an expert in puzzles to figure out how to get it on there. But the thing folds up nicely. I don't care about that because I have never gone anywhere else to paint my models. I have put it away on rare occasions and the fold up feature is truly nice but not the primary purpose of the device.

I bought my first Master Airbrush spray booth three years ago. It is still working great. However, I bought a second one because my models are becoming larger, and I need more room. I have no complaints about this product except for the instruction manual, which sucks. I highly recommend the Master Airbrush spray booth.

I am using this to paint Stainless Steel Tumblers during the winter. This does a great job but the manual needs to be updated. The instructions say to remove the 4 screws on the back of the fan and remove the grill to put the hard sleeve on. No, don't do that! There are no holes on the sleeve and I wondered about that but I saw that it had tabs on the inside so it looked like you are supposed to turn and hook those tabs on something. So, I thought maybe it hooked inside the unit but could see the tabs didn't go far enough down to hook under anything. Then realized that it probably hooked on the grill. So, I put the grill back on and sure enough the tabs slide underneath the bars that go to the 4 screws. So there is NO need to remove the screws like the instructions say. All of the rest of the instructions are good. So because of that i only gave it 4 stars.

This unit is as compact as I was hoping. It also expanded to the size I typically use. I bought the unit with an exhaust. You will have to remove four screws on the back and install a shroud before you can use it. But it works just fine once installed. Remember not to place too many bents in exhaust or your fan will be unable to overcome back pressure. When the unit arrived, the plug in power supply (DC Transformer 120VAC 60Hz to 12VDC 1.5A) did not work. They don't handle being dropped very well and this one apparently was dropped before I got it. Since I'm an electronics tech and save working power supplies from old electronics, I just pulled another one from my salvage bin and the unit came right to life. If your not that handy...go to Radio Shack or contact the mfg. For me this is not a big issue. [Spoiler Alert: Do not attempt this at home without proper training, as it will void warranty and may break unit......Since this is a simple unit electrically, I might later upgrade the fan with a Brushless DC fan (like in PC cases) with higher volume and maybe a LED light in the back. Think Blue.] I have waited awhile for something this neat, compact and inexpensive. Thanks Master Airbrush!!!

Update: This is my second buy. This one had a new adapter on the back and didn't require removing metal screen. Also the fan is better and pulls air faster. Overall better unit. I did upgrade the exhaust duct to all metal from a hardware store. It will reduce the flammability of unit in case of....say a fire. I'm not telling you how I know. The unit is only rated for acrylics.
