Replaces my Luminess

I bought a Luminess Air in December 2017 and it broke a few weeks ago after taking it apart to clean it and then putting it back together it doesn't work. I hated buying a new brush from them for over $60. I was fed up with their dodgy car subscription service (they wouldn't let me unsubscribe until the package was on my doorstep 2 weeks later, probably hoping I'd forget about it and get paid extra) and really didn't want them anymore give business. I bought this from Revain and it works great! All of the components of the airbrush appear to be fairly standard. I do not see, what an airbrush for three times the price of its identical twin can do, besides paying more for a well-known brand. I won't be surprised when I find out they are made in the same factory. It seems like these types of airbrushes need replacing every year or two, and I'm happy to pay $20 a year for nice makeup. Edit: I've owned this for a while, but I have an observation that applies to this airbrush and brightness. You must delete them. Even if I splash water on it every time, it clogs about every 2 weeks and I have to take it apart and soak it in warm water. When I turned off the glow, I couldn't understand it. Now that I've played around with it a bit, I've found that the blockage was right at the point where the needle sticks out. This is the smallest piece to unscrew and I had to use tweezers to flip it over. Since learning about this I've cleaned up my old lume and found that its parts are interchangeable with this airbrush. Both need to be brushed fairly regularly.
