Had one for over a year now. Works well and have gone through 4 filters. Recommend you leave it set up ready for use - the folding plastic is brittle and hinges break over time. Also not air tight so gaps around the front will leak overspray onto your surface - I had to tape up all corners and seams. In the video, the end piece is forced on - only needed to expand the hose ribs and it screws on easily.

[@InterCity134]

Good to know. So we would be better off with a cardboard box bay that is disposable and focus on the fan/exhaust. This is the one big issue with amazon dominance in the market : we get 18 different labeled versions of the same cheapest crap and no quality products (because any quality would be impossible to find in the sea of crap). It’s probably better to buy the various parts and build your own.

[@umungus518]

@@InterCity134 there's an awesome video from a channel called props and stuff that shows you how to build one from moving boxes. Its much bigger than this booth and is air tight. I definitely suggest checking it out. Im planning on building it this weekend actually.

[@chadhackman9487]

That version is pretty good buy. I'm pretty sure it was made more for the North American market over the German market. As I work for a subsidiary of a German company, I'm familiar with Tilt/Turn hardware. However, the majority of windows in North America are hung sliding windows that the flat hose connection is perfect for. I appreciate that you did an actual paint test with this one as most reviews haven't. This looks to be the winner for me if a similar price point is available in Canada.

[@Captain_Draco]

I'm opting to build my own over buying one of these.

[@billmackinnon6505]

Got one of these a few years back. its not too bad but I made modifications after the fan failed. I replaced the fan with a higher flow rate and a PWM speed controller to control the fan speed. Fitted a switch for the LED's as well as they can be annoying working beside it.. Fitted it to a monitor arm and can swing it out the way rather than take it apart.

[@Captain_Draco]

10:50 These are meant to slot into a non-European style window, the sliding type. You'd close the window against it to keep it in place.

[@TheDigitalThreat]

So its essentially a small vacuum motor in a light plastic box for 150 bucks? Gives me ideas using old vacuum motor and 3d printed case with the RV plumbing tubes~

[@Frog_Anarchy]

windows in America dont usually open like that they open up at the bottom. so that issue with hose might be a geography issue.

[@danielbritton8588]

The key part is the exhaust fan & elephant trunk. Some one handy can create a better spray booth. Bigger area to fit more kits on or in. I bought two & made a wider one for ships & such. I feel like putting a cheaper filter in front of the filter. Once your fan blades start to collect sediment the air flow will only get worse.

[@canton7180]

It took me 4 years to finally break down and buy one of these. Every time I sprayed tamiya I was wearing a respirator, a clothe mask when doing acrylic and still I could tell a difference in my lungs, kind of had a sore throat, a good iwata airbrush cost more then one of these units, I priced out building my own and there is no way I could do for the same. Biggest con is the depth of even a small unit, add another 10” to the depth for the vent coupling so we are looking at about 28” or 2.5 feet almost a yard to account for

[@milwaukee13th]

Do you use can spray paint or just airbrush

[@Unit_With_Legs]

You used the name, "Lazy Susan" which i use a lot but no one seems to know. Also 👍 on Gojira, love it. I took a strip of wood and drilled an elongated hole that the end of the exhaust hose could plug into and fit in the window and pinched it in the window. Sealed everything with hot glue and gorilla tape.

[@Schocko1992]

I bought the exact same one and tested it today. I have no idea why people in the Amazon reviews were complaining that it is too loud. It is certainly not quiet, but also much less loud than I expected. But one question: after my first session I noticed in the manual, that they ask to remove the second layer of filter if the hose is used, because it is not required then. I did not even notice that there was a second layer of filter and did not remove anything. I feel like I prefer to keep it in there if it doesn't come with any negative effects. Did you remove one filter or did you keep it as it was?

[@Wolfenacht]

There is a negative affect with keeping the second layer on. Since moving the air through the hose takes a little more power, but the filter itself restricts airflow the thicker it is. They gave you a double wide filter to really trap in the fumes since you are not using a hose to remove the fumes away from you, so they don't want extra fumes floating about. If you take the extra filter off you will see a big performance boost in terms of airflow/fumes moving away from you and into the hose.

[@advictoriamgaming7554]

​@@Wolfenacht so if I'm understanding you correctly it would be ok to just use the booth and not hook it up to an outside air source? My hobby space is in the basement and windows are a tad hard to come by there. 😂

[@Wolfenacht]

@@advictoriamgaming7554 So, it depends on what you are spraying (Yes there are different types of paint) and how good of a filter is in it, will determine if it's safe. It's definitely better than nothing, but I would always consider having a respirator on if doing it for a bit. You never know the damages of this kind of thing until it's too late, or years later with cancer.

[@mpierrela]

The best review I have seen. The instructions for attaching the tube are vague in the booklet provided. As for the noise, my compressor is so loud I really don't mind. Thanks for this review.

[@toddanderson1506]

How much does the filter cut down on spray paint odor? I live in an appartment and I dont want neighbors to complain about paint fumes coming out my window.

[@rookmorrigan8379]

I actually recently purchased this very model, and I am quite happy with its performance. My only complaint is how much extra space it takes up with the exhaust attached causing it to overhang from my desk.

[@hvacthrills8490]

I put a 90 elbow upwards then connect the exhaust hose. Saves room

[@jlai036]

The most important thing is to look out for airflow rate. The higher airflow rate means it can move fumes away and out of the room better. The type of paint used e.g. lacquer or enamel which are very toxic would require a high airflow and suction to remove as much fumes as possible. Also always paint with paint respirator. Next is the lights - number of lights and how bright Next is working space - how big is the painting area

[@richardjones7984]

Thanks very much for this video. I just ordered the same item today and this will help me get it all going when it arrives.

[@UnvarnishedTarnished]

I have the same booth and I love it. Just gotta keep the filters clean / replace em

[@WF3D]

Thanks for the tip!

[@UnvarnishedTarnished]

@@WF3D I have a tiny handheld vacuum and it works really well for getting the dry paint particles off the filter after it starts getting clogged, helps preserve the filter longer. I also use mine for spray painting and while it's not GREAT, it helps a lot in a room that already has decent ventilation.

[@TedMassis]

Hey, I was wondering I found your compressor to be super quiet. Could you give me the name and model number of it please and thank you.

[@Alucia0]

Thanks for the review here. I currently have a very old version of this without the lights and just had to order this one since my old one is showing its age. If your wanting an idea of longevity my current one had lasted approx 15 years. So if this is as good as that one then it's well worth the money.

One thing I have been wondering about these designs that go to the window is if the wind blows the fumes back into the room where the vent isn't.

[@martincerny8106]

Hello, is this way of airbrushing safe for indoor ? I would like to start airbrushing but i do not have extra space, where to do it. So my only option is to start it at home. So i was looking for a solution to do it safety at home.

[@CombustibleL3mon]

Will a spray booth capture stray fibres from the air? Currently I am just using a room air purifier near the working area but I still end up with fibres getting stuck to my models when I spray them with some lacquer or other smoothing spraypaint and it's very frustrating.

[@WF3D]

It has a good suction inside the cabin, but I don't think it can eliminate this. It's just too small for that

[@megatryn]

The problem isn't your hose, but your weird window that opens inwards. Otherwise, thanks for the review, I've decided to get one myself thanks to you. :)

[@WF3D]

That's a regular window in Germany :D

[@darrellyeo773]

Does it suck up dust as well? I am having challenges with dust settling on the artwork.

[@WF3D]

That's really hard to answer, I would say it really depends on the type of dust. The flow is ok for very light stuff, but if you are working in a really dusty area (like sawdust) I don't think it is strong enough :)

[@darrellyeo773]

@@WF3D Not sawdust. Just usual dust.

[@cetiah]

I'm worried about what might actually come out of the exhaust outside and what happens to that stuff. Is this going to make a mess outside or get paint on the window or anything like that? Is it something that could bother my neighbors or landlord?

[@themodellingmuppet]

Hi, great video 👍🏻 would this be OK for spraying glass and matt coats on models?

[@ericbruneau1970]

Great video. Is it necessary to put the exhaust tube outside? I plan to use this in my garage, and this cabin is just to catch the paint fume. If nothing but air is coming out of the fan, i would leave it in my garage.

[@InterCity134]

If you are only spraying latex / water based paints that is fine. If you spray enamels with solvents then no - as the solvent fumes will build up in the room and they are flammable so eventually will get to an explosive concentration as well as being bad to breathe.

[@sabinedr4492]

Tolles Video! Do you think this would be ok when using spray paint in cans, like Liquitex or Montana spray paint? Vielen Dank!

[@WF3D]

Ich denke dass der Abzug bei zu viel Sprühnebel zu schwach ist. Also wenn du sehr viel und lange sprühst. Ich hab aber schon Klarlack aus der Dose in der Kabine gesprüht und das hat gut geklappt.

If you're exhausting out of the window what is the purpose of the filter? If you have filters why exhaust out of a window?

[@depshallburn]

how good is this booth for lacquer paint? I'm seeing too many mixed reviews and stances on this.

[@davidcauley9400]

Had it for a couple of years and the suction is no good for a heavier spraying like priming or varnishing. get a light beam striking the area and you'll see billows of particles escaping. For close up airbrushing it's probably fine. I absolutely would have saved up more for a dual fan or stronger fan though in retrospect, as i don't think this is strong enough for purpose..

[@cloudwind23]

Somewhere down here i read that the filter has a second layer, for when you are not using the hose. Did you test the airflow with the second layer removed?

[@davidcauley9400]

@@cloudwind23 yep. I went really thin with ut but also then there is paint particles building up on the fan. The suction is fine for close up small work, but any base coating and priming type stuff its not strong enough to prevent clouds of particles escaping. I definitely reccomend saving more and going to the next price level with led lights and more powerful fan. Also bigger for more working space.

[@Nordic404]

Is it necessarily if you are gonna use gas mask anyways?

[@airbrushnewart1045]

Very helpful video. An airbrush booth is very helpful for the model builders.

[@AndrewAHayes]

Did you look into the cost of building your own spray booth or was the folding up of the booth an important factor?

[@WF3D]

It was important for me, that I can store it away. I already built a very large one in my last workshop and also made a video about that quite a while ago. From that experience, time spent and hardware cost it was not really an option for me.

[@nacholiron]

If it gets all the paint, why do you need the exhaust out of the window?

[@MadMaxwell7]

"the end of the hose, which isn't really practical and needs to be adapted" is not the problem... for 99% of people. that is designed for a normal window. you slide it in and close the window on it, taking up just enough room so you can vent out with precisely enough opened window space is left to normalize the pressure the vent is causing. calling it bad design is just wrong my friend. your window is bad design, not the vent. The only change I'd make if I only had one window in a room, is to add a bend at the end, like a giant snorkel. the purpose of which is to release the fumes away from where the window is pulling in fresh air. otherwise the vacuum in the room is causing it to suck in the bad air you just vented out. the best solution is having a second window and making the vent out a solid piece to close the window on, then crack the second window.

[@WF3D]

Well I don't know where you're from and what you mean by "normal" window but these are regular windows in Germany and similar in most of Europe so definitely more than 1% who buy that will have a similar issue with the window. There are different standards, if you compare it for example to a wall outlet which is different in Germany, UK, and US for example it is up to the product to have the right "plug" if sold in that region

[@MadMaxwell7]

@@WF3D I live in the US, (NewYork) here 99% of the windows are the same, "single hung" or "double hung" I guess here in the US we do things different... unlike our fondness for crappy ways to measure everything from distance to temperature, I like our windows lol.
