works very good in tight spaces.

Hobbyair 1 With 40 Hose And Half Mask

This is a great system to use when painting. Fresh air and it helps keep you cool when all suited up. Only drawback is the hose does coil up on itself. I am storing it all laid out straight but it could up when I am walking around.

Hobbyair I With (Full Mask)

The Hobbyair 1 is a high quality unit made in the US. The half mask is comfortable and the attached rubber hose is a good length, attaching to the clip connect on the belt. The turbine air supply has plenty of volume through the 40 hose. The problem with the product is the 40 clear plastic reinforced supply hose. The plastic material is hard as a rock and doesnt flex or bend sufficiently as you move about. It also tends to coil up on itself and not lay flat. The hose is excessively rated at 200psi, and does not need to be reinforced either. Very frustrating went moving about. Im looking at purchasing the Citation supply hose but I need to confirm it is more flexible. Disappointing hose, otherwise a good product.

It is nice having fresh air when I am painting. Having fresh air pumped in sure beats trying to breathe in normal filtered masks.

I am very pleased with this machine. It was easy to setup and easy to operate. The mask fits well even with my eye glasses. It works like a charm and my breathing issues associated with painting scale models have disappeared for the most part. Just tickled pink with this purchase.

I paint my own motorcycles parts like tanks,fenders and frames. I build a small paint booth and with this mask and fresh air coming in I smell nothing!! The only issue I have is the mask is a little small but if I use my old glasses I’m ok.

I purchased this with the half mask so I can use it under my welding helmet in addition to using it for painting. The unit works well and is I think a good value. Seems to provide plenty air flow. It was shipped promptly.

The hose smells like plastic. Ran cold water through it just like the instructions say. Still smells like plastic. The air is also hot. When you disconnect the hose from the machine the fittings are so hot they were almost burn you.

I use the half mask for fiberglass work and I also got the option painting hood for spraying. I would recommend both, they work great. Dwight. P. Ontario

Great little machine good variable flow. wish I could replace the hepa filter with a full chemical type filter in case any contaminants make it over to the machine…maybe they have something for that but at aircraft spruce they didn’t know anything.

The Hobbyair 1 appears well made, and contrary to the product description on Aircraft Spruce, this IS the variable speed model. The mask is comfortable, and the fresh air flow is great. I look forward to NOT breathing any of my urethane paints!

I have difficulty breathing through a regular mask. this unit makes it so able to be in that environment. A respirator that you have to pull air through contains a portion of already used air this system keeps fresh air immediately available I love it. Respirators @30$ apiece, will let this unit pay for itself soon enough

This unit is the best tool I’ve bought. I use it for everything, painting with ISO’s or not, sandblasting, sanding body filler, etc. The money you save on charcoal filters and particlulate filters means it eventually pays for itself. Plus you can let friends borrow it in exchange for beer. These things are built to last.

very portable,does the job needed,keeping me healthy

Excellent product quiet running motor

I just used this for the first time today. It is absolutely terrific! I was on the fence about spending the money. I had used the cartridge type respirators. They're fine for a two minute paint job or for dust but with the new paints and projects more than a few minutes, this can't be beat! Love, love it. Thanks!

This is one of the best fitting face masks Ive ever used. Comfortable and easily removed once you get a feel for where the releases are. The whole system worked flawlessly. Its a game changer having fresh cool air blown in. If you work for more than 20 or 30 minutes youll really appreciate it. The only issue so far is the hose. Its bulky and not so flexible Give more attention on how things are laid out and its less an issue. I would recommend the clear covers. Very little distortion or glare.

Hobby air respirator is fine, except for the fact that it came with no instruction manual. I contacted the parent company. They have never returned my message. In my opinion, if a company do on the big stuff won t supply me with an owner manual, how to you think theyll

Same experience as James H. This unit gets extremely hot you can’t touch the box or breath the air. I spoke with hobby air and was told if it didn’t start working probably I would need to return it to place of purchase. ACS issued a return label and RMA now they are telling me they can’t help after I already sent them the unit back. I’ve always used ACS as my main parts supplier. I’m really let down in there customer service after the sale. I’ll definitely will consider other vendors from this point on.
