The airbrush worked well enough the first few times I used it. Even though I cleaned it thoroughly after every use, it became clogged during the fifth or sixth session. I disassembled the unit and cleaned all the parts individually, but I was unable to unclog it. Thinking that the needle was to blame, I purchased a replacement needle from the manufacturer. But even after I installed the new needle, the airbrush still would not aerosolize any fluid (paint or water) from the color cup.

Add to this the fact that the airbrush is extremely difficult to reassemble, because it contains some incredibly small parts (the lever guide and trigger) that must be maneuvered into position inside the unit - a maddening task.

I regret buying this product and certainly would not recommend it.

I initially bought this airbrush with economy in mind as it will be used mainly for hobby painting.

The feel is that of a quality made tool and I like the fact that it is all metal and gives a sense of durability.

Using it to paint was a pleasurable experience and it can be precise enogh to do your signature as if writing with a pen as well as filling in large areas of your picture.

The only “fault” I have found is that cleaning to change colors is a little tedious but I can’t see how it would be any different for more costly airbrushes without disassembly.

I have ordered a complete set from this same manufacturer in a siphon feed style for multi color applications but this will be my primary airbrush for years to come.

I highly recommend this airbrush for the beginner or hobbist because of it’s price and versatility.
