Iwata-Medea Studio Series Ninja Jet Single Piston Air Compressor

It's a good product and does what it says. It's small and lightweight so it's easy to carry around the house or on the road. It came with the compressor, curly cable and a couple of adapters for different types of connections. So far, I've been using it for priming and painting different models and styrene proto-types. I haven't had any issues other than my own user error. Does it get hot? It's warm, but nothing that burns the skin. Is it loud? My Fiancé says its loud and she can't hear the T.V. in the next room when the compressor is on, but I don't mind the volume. Does it have a moisture filter? Nope, I was getting some moisture coming out on my first couple of airbrush sessions. I opened the manual and it said you need to get the Iwata-Medea Pistol Grip Moisture Filter, or a comparable product. After I got that product, it trapped all of the water that was splatting out (it also made the airbrush easier to hold). Maybe they can fit a small for factor moister/dirt filter on their V2. Is it strong enough? Well, I feel like it could be stronger. I don't think it pushes more than 20PSI. There is no PSI gauge so I have zero idea about how many pounds per square inch are flowing out of that little guy. Maybe their product manager could add a gauge if they can fit it in the next version. Good product and probably good for the hobbyist to add to the collection or someone that is on the go. As far as a product for a beginner, it may not be suitable as there is no PSI gauge or moisture filter which may add a steeper learning curve for someone just getting started. See ya later.

Works great was perfectly compatible with my Iwata airbrush. It’s actually quitter than the reviews said. And builds pressure fast definitely worth the money.

I've been using the Iwata Ninja Jet for about a month now and, like Joy stated in her review, it is a little loud but once it warms up it performs very well. I use this compressor in conjunction with the Iwata HP-BS airbrush to apply airbrush makeup (Kett Hydro) and I haven't experienced any pressure problems. The makeup goes on smoothly and creates a flawless look. In my humble opinion, the Ninja Jet is a dependable little workhorse that's perfect for home or salon use and the price can't be beat. (The Amazon Review star rating function lists this as a 'toy'...I can assure you, it is NOT a toy, it is a professional piece of equipment)

Great for beginners! Make sure to practice assembling and cleaning! I bought 3 other airbrush machines that had the compressor inside. This one works way better! Worth the money spent! Just a little loud

It seems kind of loud when your right next to it and it will vibrate the crap out of your table. That being said the packing foam sheets in the actual box of the pump fit right under it that remove the vibrations completely and the sound doesn't carry at all. I have it set up in my room about 8 feet from the door and if I have that door closed you care barely hear it in the next room. Put some music on and it gets completely drowned out. This is a perfect little desktop air compressor and can supply plenty of pressure and air brush. I haven't tried and air powered tools yet but on max setting I bet it could handle some like tool work as well.

I bought this because of the price point and i wanted to get into airbrushing I have large compressors for my Air tools but its minimum is 45 PSI which is a little high and I would prefer not to airbrush in my shop so i bought this so i could use it inside where the AC works. As it is the compressor works with some pressure spike's at first trigger pull. I haven't seen any moisture buildup but I don't run the machine for very long usually a max of priming or base coating 5 to 15 mini's. For this purpose it works really well if you were doing much longer and more intensive use id recommend a larger machine with a tank and moisture trap and most importantly a pressure gauge this just has a turn dial with a + and - on it and that's the best you got. Other than these drawbacks for a person who is just getting into using a airbrush this is at a good price point for a small and easy to use device.

I'm still an airbrushing newbie but this was great to start with. I researched a lot and found this to be my best option and I'm glad I went with this and not something a little cheaper. Packs a lot of power and pressure is adjustable. I also purchased an iwata airbrush and they are both awesome. Very user friendly especially if you're new to airbrushing. There is some noise but it's not terrible.

Bought this for my wife to use for applying make up with her air brush. She has had difficulty with her air brushes clogging during use. Heavier and noisier than we thought, but works great. Very easy to adjust the pressure. Works much better than the starter kit compressors that come with make up air brush kits. Very happy with our purchase

Got heated up and burned before I even used it

No vale la pena

Great little compressor. I use it for body art. Great continous airflow, not too heavy, reliable.

Excelente aerógrafo, ruido moderado, no tiene medidor de presión pero funciona excelente para modelismo

I like everything about the Iwata, it's small and easy to move around, is perfect for model painting.
