This product works perfectly.
QUALITY:
Quality-wise I am very satisfied with this product, it is a solid little unit. The compressor is very quiet but has excellent airflow, which you can adjust easily and on the fly. The Airbrushes are pretty standard, One Big Pot Gravity Feed, One Little Pot Gravity Feed and One Bottom Feed. I have used them all and they work great, the Bottom Feed bush is plastic and the others are Metal, I prefer metal brushes, but that is preference. The hose that comes with the kit is very nice, it is a mesh wrapped rubber hose that FEELS like it is high quality and it is. The handle on the top is very handy also, no pun intended.
USAGE:
This section would be way to long, so I am going to simplify it. It works like a standard Airbrush System Prep your Airbrush (Paint, Hoses, Etc), Turn on the compressor and paint. Make sure you clean your Airbrushes well and they will last you a lifetime.
PACKAGING/APPEARANCE:
The packaging was as you would expect, a large brown box. The Compressor and 2 Metal Brushes came SEALED in the compressor's retail packaging and the plastic bottom feed brush was in its own packaging in the larger box next to the compressor box. Everything came in perfect condition, nothing to complain about here.
SHIPPING:
This product arrived in exactly the time interval I expected.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
Air Brushes are amazing and had I known I could have gotten one so cheaply and easily I would have done so a long time ago. I would purchase from this seller again but with this Brush I doubt I'll ever have too!

Go ahead and spend a little extra money for this same compressor, but one with the additional air tank. Because this one doesn't have an airtank it comes on, EVERY SINGLE time you depress the brush. It's very distracting. Otherwise it's good. Also, you have to pull up on the air regulator knob and turn it to decrease, or increase air-pressure. I wish someone would have told me that in the instructions, I nearly broke the knob attempting to turn it the first time.Best Deals for Master Airbrush® Brand Multi-purpose Professional Airbrushing
Purchased this to make my scale model hobby more enjoyable. Got tired of aerosol paint sprays. I was looking for a low-cost solution to get me started. This kit came up and looked good. I've used this, so far, on one model car with great success. I've had the opportunity to use the larger gravity fed gun and the siphon fed gun. Everything has worked great so far. Compressor is very quiet, and the auto on/off feature is great.What kept this from getting 5-stars was the fact that the siphon gun will only shoot paint with the supplied smaller diameter hose. (will not spray paint with the larger supplied hose for the gravity fed guns) The issue is that its a cheap rubber hose that stays curled like an old phone cord. It makes painting very difficult because its always in the way, and always coiled up. I attempted to 'relax' the hose by stretching both ends apart and gently heating up the hose with a heat gun. Didn't help much. I will be looking for a replacement next time I get to the hobby store.
Over-all, this kit works well and I would suggest it for any hobbyist looking to get into airbrushing. One could always upgrade to better guns when the need arises.
Honest reviews on Master Airbrush® Brand Multi-purpose Professional Airbrushing
I've been using this to paint model aircraft.The airbrushes work very well for my needs. They are very easy to disassemble and clean. Obviously there are better products out there, but for only a "part time" airbrusher like myself, these are just fine.
The compressor works perfectly. I'm not bothered by it kicking on every time I use the airbrush. It is freakeshly quiet. I was a little hesitant to purchase this because of the compressor being tankless. I've always heard that they "pulse" and it shows in your work. Well, for painting models with enamel paint at about 18-20psi, there is absolutely no pulsing. It is a constant stream of air. My guess is that the water trap and hose act as a "damper" since I'm using a lower psi. The water trap itself acts as a very small tank. As stated before, I don't use this constantly. So, I have no problems with the compressor getting hot. Actually, with the frequency in which I use this, it's barely even gotten warm. Maybe with constant use I could see it heating up. Also, I have had no problems with moisture. Again, probably attributed to the frequency in which I use it.
Depending on what you are using this for, this could either be a great product, or an inadequate product. For me, this is 5 stars. It met and exceeded my expectations.

It has been a long time since I used an airbrush, and I bought a top end brush, but still needed a compressor. This one caught my eye, because of the price, and the extra's. Looking at the compressor next to one of the "name brand" compressors, at much higher prices, I believe that they are one in the same, made in the same place, by the same company, and the difference is the color they paint the compressor, and the label that they place on it. There is no difference between the two.Then came the air brushes, two siphon double action, and one single action, gravity fed brush. I have used two of the three (both double action), and they have worked wonderfully, I have not even broken out my top of the line brush yet, since I have a lot of catching up to do. As a training set, you can't go wrong with this. The brushes are sturdy, with extra needles and nozzle tips, that allow for a range of widths you can spray. They have been easy to break down and clean, and all the parts are chrome, so it is easy to see when they are clean, and when you need to get in there with a fresh cotton tip, one more time.
The only con, if there was one, is you need good eyes, and nimble fingers, when cleaning the brushes, the parts are small, and easy to lose, especially the O ring what goes between the nozzle and the brush. Don't lose that, it makes a huge difference in the spray pattern, and whether or not you get fouling in the nozzle.
Beyond that, the only other concern I have, is the condenser, you can see the build up of water vapor, and the only way to clear it, is while the compressor is still under pressure. You push the bottom valve, to release the air, and hopefully blow out as much water as you can, but it is not very effective. You might have to turn the compressor on again, creating more water, just to try to clear the water again. I have found that, when I am finished using the brushes, I turn the pressure up to 80-100 psi, shut the compressor off, and slowly bleeds off the air, allowing more to condense, and drip to the bottom of the condenser. I has been the most effective way.
Lastly, the compressor gets hot, and does like to hum around on the floor. I would be very cautious of placing it on any raised surface, it might run over the edge, before you realize it is moving.
