Anyone have one of these?

Seems pretty reasonably priced. If anyone has one or has used one, would you let me know if you think it's worth the money?
Thanks

Yes I've got one, the LED lights I found don't perform as well as you'd think. It's not that they're not bright it's how the light is thrown out it creates a dark shadow inside GE booth. Still better than nothing though you just have to bring the piece you airbrushing forward, which kinda defeats the point of the booth.

I don't use mine while airbrushing, but I'm experimenting using the booth as a photo light box.

The booth it's self works fine for me.

I have one of those booths from before they put the leds on. Basically they don't pull enough air to do a truly satisfactory job. especially once the filter gets slightly clogged. You need to move at least twice as much air as those Chinese booths do. If you could get another fan of the same type and install it that would improve it having 2 fans. You truly get what you pay for.
If I was in USA I would look at one of these and the filters are cheap with a proper explosion proof motor.

I'm not concerned with the lighting, as I can add to it. I was wanting to know how well it moves and filters air. Thank you for your reply.

Thanks for the link. I looked and from what I can tell from the pix, it appears to be very well made. I also like that it's made in the USA.

I have used one for several years. It's cheap and works well enough. Like the others said does not pull a lot of air but enough.

If I am using lacquer then I use a respirator if I am doing much painting. No light on mine but the plastic is translucent so I have a light shining through it and another at the front shining in.

I purchased some bulk roll air filter that I cut off a proper length, it came in the correct width, and place it in front of the provided filter, as a pre filter to reduce wear on the good filter

Also, I use windex and dish soap and wash out the good filters to use over and over.

You need two filters so you can swap out each long paint session, they fill up fast.
