I've read a few negative reviews of this product and can now share my experience. Some say it leaks, some say it get too dusty inside, some say it doesn't work very well (or at all) at the stated pressures. Mine came unassembled, use sealer when you build it and it doesn't leak.... I chose crushed glass as the medium and it doesn't get any dustier than I would expect (it is media blasting after all!!) Obviously it would benefit from a vacuum being attached but I haven't. As for working, assuming the pick up tube is set up properly, the only issue I found was flashing from the moulding inside the trigger was blocking the suction hole, a few seconds with suitable sized drill bit cured the issue. It now sucks media so well I have to blow it back into the hopper to cover the tube. I'm only using a 1.5hp compressor with a 25ltr tank and it works perfectly well for the size of item I can fit inside the cabinet. So set it up well and chose the right media, for the price point it's well worth it. Read full review

The cabinet itself is well designed and strong but I had to modify it for my needs. The perspex lid clouds over very fast even with the screens attached. The built in filter clogs within a few minutes. The sand pickup tube is useless as it rises above the aggregate within no time. The lid does not seal so dust escapes all around the edges. I drilled an additional hole to attach a vacuum cleaner, this alleviated the dust problem and also kept the work area visible. I also added my own sand reservoir below the cabinet with a tube entering the cabinet at the side through a grommet. The sand from the cabinet went through the drain hole via a funnel and kept the reservoir filled.

I bought this cabinet so I could clean some motorcycle components and I am happy with it. I will point out that the integrated filter is pretty much useless and lets a lot of dust through so if you don't have a means of extraction then a mask will definitely still be needed. The cabinet is quite small and 50cc engine cases are a struggle so if you need to blast anything bigger you will need bigger cabinet. The blasting nozzle itself is really good and works very well. It's very good value for money and although it is quite small it does the job it is intended for. The polycarbonate lid is quite brittle and will crack very easily if something is dropped on it, weakest spots are the hinges. That said it is light and the only real option. The plastic protective film that covers the polycarbonate is difficult to seal properly so using insulating tape is a must or dust will ingress between the film and the lid hampering visibility. Light is as good as you could expect. Haven't had to change the bulb/strip yet so no comment on that.Read full review

I’ve been using this for a few days and it does a good job except you have to keep moving the sand over the feed pipe every few minutes, also you can’t see what your doing as the window gets covered in sand you really need a vacuum to get rid of the dust so you can see the lid also doesn’t seal very well so dust comes out all over the place other than that it’s a good bit of kit.

I was first impressed by the fast delivery, then by the quality and then by how effective it is. I initialy used a fairly small compressor as that was all I had, the cabinet worked fine the only shortcomings being from my compressor. once I got a bigger unit (2.5hp/50l) the system worked brilliantly, providing a constant streem of grit capable of removing even powdercoat. all in all I,m glad I bought it.
