Reviews
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.

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 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

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!

Per the supplier: The Hobbyair has a HEPA filter. The system is designed to deliver fresh / clean air from somewhere other than the area you are working in. This is why we make our systems with hose lengths from 40 to 160 feet long. If you locate the air pump in fresh air, then, yes, the system will deliver fresh air to your hood or mask all day. The HEPA filter will filter out dust etc. that are in the (fresh) air. I hope that helps.
400 watts would be required to run the system.
No, this is a one person unit with 2 hoses at 40', totalling 80'. The 2-person unit is the Buddy System like part number 12-15870.
Hobbyair 1 has 40' of hose, and the Hobbyair 2 has 80' of hose to the mask.
Yes, you could use it while working with fiberglass.
Per Vendor: "The turbine we use for our respirators has an appropriate (much lower) volume for breathing. Trying to breathe through a sprayer turbine would be very hot and way too much air."
It should work with a goatee, but it would depend on if its extremely long, braided, etc etc. We do have a hood that works with this system, it is part number 12-03319.
Clean with an anti-bacterial soap and allow to dry before storage.
Yes, this has a speed control so can increase the amount of air.
