Ophir Upgraded Water Curtain Airbrush Spray Booth, Spray Paint Booth for Airbrushing with Filter LED Lights for Model, Shoes,Crafts, T-Shirt, Cake & Hobbies

This airbrush paint booth performs excellently. Assembly was a breeze. Took about half-hour. The three LED light panels at the top and the two sides light up the work area beautifully. I have severe COPD so my lungs need protection when I hand paint with Acrylic paints. I chose this one because it has two exhaust fans so that I can switch both fans on. Or I can switch to one fan only. Its a simple toggle switch. Switch left and both exhaust fans run, switch center and both exhaust fans are turned off. Switch right and only one exhaust fan runs. It pulls a hefty 9 cfm of air easily, Most other air brush exhaust booth's only exhaust 4 cfm. While I am painting on my hobby project I switch-on both exhaust fans until finished with painting, Then I switch to only one exhaust fan while my project is drying. There are no paint fumes smell at all in the room. The paint booth exhausts all fumes out the window where I set-up the exhaust vent. By the way, all the necessary parts for set-up are provided with the air brush paint booth. The only thing I needed was a window seal around the exhaust vent. I solved that easily. Home Depot has an air conditioning rubber foam seal package for about $3 bucks. It works perfectly. Next is the noise level. I am using the Decibel X app in my iPhone 7 Plus to measure the noise level. When everything is turned off including TV etc. the background noise level inside my room is 48 decibles which is like a quiet whisper. When I switch on both exhaust fans the noise level increases to 75 decibels which is like riding in a car with road noise. For my acute ears I use those little foam ear plugs. When inserted into my ears correctly I hear nothing even with both exhaust fans running. I am a safety nut what can I say. The ear plugs may be overkill but I like the added protection. It's a personal choice. The exhaust system design with two fan motors is very cleaver and a real space saver on a desktop. Instead of having to attach the exhaust hose directly out the back of the exhaust fan housing, this one is designed to exhaust out the top of the exhaust fan housing. That feature allows me to slide the booth snug up to the wall with no interference to the exhaust. It's all in the engineering. Here's the bottom line: The product is well engineered and well thought out. It is sturdy, light, easily assembled and disassembled. It folds up like a small suit case. The desktop footprint is acceptable. I am very pleased and impressed with the performance of this well designed and well engineered paint booth. It is a great value for the price and I definitely recommend it.

I got this to replace an existing spray booth. I have seen reviews that complain about this product - saying it wont remove smells completely - thats not what its designed for.I use it for airbrushing acrylic paint (Tamiya and Vallejo mostly) and lacquers (Tamiya and Gunze) with great success. I have mine venting into a bucket with filters - as I have no other options where I live. With the waterfall, there is little to no dust. Which is a great improvement. The fan does exactly what it should - pulls the paint dust out of the air and removes it from the paint area. There is still a smell but thats to be expected when using some types of paint.Cleaning is easy too - I replace the water once a month (and I use it almost daily), and I check to make sure the pump is clear of debris. The water filters at the bottom of the fall catch a lot of the paint dust - these are easy to take out and clean as well. Long story short the maintenance is not a horrible ordeal or process like some are making it out to be.Biggest challenge is the smooth laminar flow of water - which just needed some rain-x on the clear sheet, and some dish soap in the water to get things to smooth out.The noise without the fan is almost non existent - I left it running overnight once, without knowing. The fans on low, still pull air but not a ton, but make no real noise. On high you will hear them - but its not louder than the air compressor for the airbrush.In the end I am happy I picked this up, and ignored those who claim this was a "doom and gloom" not worth it product.

A vast improvement over the other models available. I ordered both (a 100 model and this one) and decided which one I would keep.This model being wider, better lit, having a smarter placed exhaust hose that preserves desk space, and an improved extraction rate; made this one the hands down winner.It has the ability to switch between one fan or two. There is a decibel difference in using them. It operates with one fan at 75 decibels (db) , and with two fans at 78 db. It's about the same profile as heavy traffic.I use this in an office next to my master room. If a fan is on in the master, you can't hear it in there at all. With the door closed , the sound bleed is minimal. Very happy about that.I like that there are still transparent sections that allow one to add extra lighting. The LEDs that come with this aren't bad. They seem higher than 5000k, which makes the shadows a bit harsher. Still, very usable and fixable if you aren't satisfied. I don't have very bright ambient lighting, if I did, I don't think this would be a problem to begin with. I have sprayed the following in the booth, and it has properly extracted everything. I occasionally double up with a respirator if I'm heavily spraying lacquers, despite the smell of them being near undetectable (running both fans).-Ammo Mig (acrylic and enamels)-Tamiya (acrylic)-Mr Color / Mr Surfacer (lacquer)-Hataka (lacquer)-Alclad II metallics (lacquer)I have had to clean it since, I've used Isopropyl alcohol and in tough cases, mr thinner. Nothing has caused discoloration as of yet.Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. I can paint inside comfortably, and it saved me a little money on making my own.

Have owned for less than two months and top led strip has failed. Have reached out to company, will update review if they stand by their product. Not feeling confident they will as the "Contact Us" link on ophirairbrush.com does not work...always a bad sign. If not, look elsewhere. UPDATE 7-27-2020: After a few weeks the company did respond and was very communicative and prompt. They are sending replacement part...turned out to be the power supply. So have added stars . The unit is actually quite nice, love the bright lights.

This is a really good spray booth and I feel it's a bargain price for what you get. The lights are great and really help you see what you're doing. The space is large enough for some nice projects and it's very effective at moving the fumes and so on out the window. I did use duct tape to tape together all the joints in the hose to make certain everything would go out the window but I think it would work fine even without that precaution. I found it easy to put together and to understand and use. I would recommend this product.
