Review on 💨 Iwata-Medea Studio Series Silver Jet Single Piston Air Compressor: Maximize Your Studio Efficiency with Precision and Reliability by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good

This is a good compressor, small, very quiet and quite powerful (my Paasche airbrush puts out about 30psi but would probably go to 40psi inches if not working ) does not have a small leak). My only complaint is that you can't just leave it running while doing a longer job (45-60 minutes), it overheats and stops working for a while. This is because it doesn't have an air tank like the larger garage compressor, so it doesn't shut off when it's full, but runs all the time. But if you turn it off when not spraying, it works great for a long time. I use it for modeling, so I spray acrylic paints, usually diluted with isopropanol or window cleaner, onto the plastic, that's enough for a delicate layered finish. It lights up quickly and fits almost anywhere.

Pros
  • pressure adjustment knob
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

This thing is awesome! If using for long paint sessions I would recommend a vapor trap
