Bought this for my wife, it works beautifully.
Typical Badger quality, which for those unfamiliar with Badger airbrushes means exceptional.
Took a bit of fiddling to get it dialed in, no big deal and expected (depending on what you're spraying you will have to adjust the needle). The folks at Badger can't be expected to predict what color product every single customer is going to be using. My mrs. prefers to use gels thinned as little as absolutely possible, others thin them down to watery. Once we got it dialed (took about 5 minutes, most of which was spent familiarizing myself with the parts and how they work while reading the instructions and looking at the schematic) in she was very happy with every aspect of operation...and I quote "this is better than the one's we had in the bakery".
NOTE: This airbrush's airflow is continuously on so you will want to use a compressor. It's actually a very good thing as color does not collect in the tip and splatter everywhere when you stop and start. Definitely a big plus, unless you are using air canisters which will get depleted very quickly. In the long run it will be far cheaper to get a compressor or order the airflow valve for it's sister model (which is shown in the schematic included with the airbrush).
NOTE VERY IMPORTANT!!!! It does not come with an adapter for non-Badger air hoses and they are very hard to find locally! I ordered a cheapy airbrush/compressor set and was able to borrow a nipple from one of the cheap airbrushes but I had to hit the hardware store to buy some air tubing (exactly like the type sold for aquarium use). Anyway unless you have the proper hose or adapter already you will need to order one. It is NOT a fitting that you can get at the local hardware or wally. Even the hobby shops I checked did not have one on hand.
