AGPTEK Airbrush, 28PSI Airbrush with Air Compressor, Portable Airbrush Kit for Cake Decorating, Craft Tools, Makeup, Painting and Manicure

I Purchased this back in May, but didn’t get around to using it until today. After spending hours taping off my project to make sure that I can spray the proper colors on the proper places this thing made the biggest mess ever all it did was spit instead of mystifying there wasn’t enough air pressure to get the paint out of the gun totally disappointed wish I never would’ve bought this thing sitter just use my compressor that I do construction with

I purchased this a year or so back when I go into 3D printing and wanted to up my game from brushes to air brushes. I didn't know much back then about airbrushing (and I still kinda don't now) which is why I decided on a more budget friendly option. Something to learn on before investing in better gear. I've painted with it and it wasn't great a first. I chalk this up to beginner error. After purchasing the correct paint thinner and learning how to get the right consistency between the two, I managed to paint my first figure and the airbrush preformed flawlessly. On top of preforming well, it included a plethora of extras such as nozzles, cleaning kit, etc. which came in clutch during my learning times when I had to clean it a bunch. I plan on purchasing a better airbrush down the line when my current breaks but for now as long as this one works I'll keep using it.

First one delivered was dead (no power from included adapter), so there's the question of quality control before shipping. Replacement works. Bought this as a gift to a beginning model builder, decided to evaluate it first. Air compressor is loud, it is louder than my pro-grade airbrush compressor with attached tank. Included airbrush holder is basically useless because you need to set the compressor down on the floor to save your eardrums, and the compressor vibrates so much it moves all over the place. Probably works really well with inks or dyes, but to atomize paint (enamels) it needs to be set to max pressure. Airbrush is nice, chinalike knockoff of an Iwata. GREAT that it includes 3 needles and nozzles! Just polish the needles and you get a good airbrush. Enamel paint thinner and lacquer thinner did not seem to affect the seals in the airbrush.PROS - Good starter kit, all you need is paints and thinners; GREAT that airbrush includes various size needles and nozzles; included moisture trap is a great plus, but attach it to the airbrush and not the compressor; airhose is nice and flexible; great coverage at max pressure when painting enamels thinned for airbrushing; in quick test, finest spray line was about 3-4mm with nozzle cap removed. BIG PLUS: airbrush and airbrush hose use standard threading (Iwata/Tamiya/Paasche), so you can use this with a more robust airbrush compressor kit if needed. Not compatible with Badger fixtures.CONS - compressor sounds like a jackhammer running next you your ear, put it on the floor; compressor wanders all over the place because it vibrates so much; airbrush itself is not finely machined, but should break in and work smoothly after some use; buy an airbrush holder, the included one is useless because you really can't have the compressor on the table next to you without wearing hearing protection. First unit received was dead, but replacement unit works fine.UNKNOWN - air compressor seems somewhat flimsy, do not know how long it will last.WOULD I BUY AGAIN? - as a gift to someone just starting with airbrushing, YES.CONCLUSION: great as a starter airbrush kit, for the price, but assume you will eventually want to replace the compressor unit with a compressor-and-tank combo sometime down the line.

I used this airbrush to paint a model WWII plane. Before I used it, I watched some YouTube videos that gave tips on using this product. I used Vallejo Model Air paints mixed with one or two drops of Vallejo airbrush flow improver and had very little problems with inconsistent spraying. I did use one paint color that wasn't Vallejo brand and it gave the airbrush problems. Not sure if I should have changed the needle size or if the paint itself was not designed for airbrushing but I still got it to spray ok after adding three or four drops of flow improver and cleaning the needle tip between sprays.This is my first airbrush and for my project, the air compressor worked great. It is recommended not to run the compressor over 30 minutes which I never did.It was easy to setup and I started painting with the needle size that was already installed. The more I used it, the more comfortable I got using and cleaning the airbrush.For the price, this all-in-one kit is great and I would recommend it if you are just starting out.

The media could not be loaded. Guys. He broke down the second time. Only once I was able to use it for manicure. The second time it just didn't work. It sucks. Don't buy it.

I bought this as an intro into airbrushing. I honestly thought I made a mistake as no matter what paints I used I was encountering problems.The airbrush is great and worth the money I spent on this kit.The air compressor is not powerful enough to use acrylics with even thinned properly. I replaced the included air compressor with a more stout one and solved all of my problems I encountered.My only recommendation is if you get this and you want to use acrylics, seek out a kit that has an air compressor that can provide 30-40 PSI for thinned acrylics or you will be battling clogs.

Very hard to regulate, and very hard to clean. Instructions with this leave a lot to be desired and the trigger system doesn't work well even out of the box.

We decorated a cake and it worked great !

More than worth the value paid, would definitely recommend for beginners, I love it.

All pieces there nd brand new cant wait to use it

Good value for someone who want to try out airbrushing.

Useless for anything that needs controlled application. Clogs often due to poor needle finish/shape. I replaced with a quality brand for not really much more and it's 100x better. Be aware that the poor quality control might see you get a better one but you also might get a poor one like me.

I've never had an airbrush before, so take it into account when reading my review. I had a plastic Testors back in the 90s, the one that connected to a can, so this one looked way better.It won't work right out of the box. You iwill have to make some adjustments. I struggle a little mostly because one of the needles was bent.If you never had one before (like me) there's plenty of instructions on youtube, including using same modelAnother issue I had in the beginning was related to the low pressure. You will need to dilute the paint more than it's suggested, otherwise you will get there's either no paint or splatters everywhere. It took me some time to find the correct proportions, but now it works really well
