Iwata-Medea Studio Series Power Jet Lite Double Piston Air Compressor

I had been reading the reviews that say “you’re just paying more for the Iwata logo”. Well that logo is worth every dollar. It seems like the people that say that are A. Don’t know how to properly take care of the item or B. just too broke to afford it and need a reason to tell themselves they don’t need it are the reason I see those posts. After using the Jet Pro Lite you can easily see that there is huge a difference in quality and performance. Yes, I fell into that trap of trying to save a dollar. I bought one of those no name compressor/tank set ups. Sure it did the basics but once I ponied up and bought the Iwata compressor, it was night and day. This compressor is a work horse and actually has the working pressure it says it has. 1–50 PSI. Not sure why the description says 1-60 but on the Iwata website it correctly states the working pressure. Also you get some of the best customer service and troubleshooting from Iwata head quarters. I have called a few times with random dumb rookie questions and they were beyond helpful. Trust me Iwata knows what they are doing. Why risk wasting one dollar on a compressor made by company that doesn’t know anything about airbrushing just because it’s cheaper? Spend a little more on the front end and you’ll avoid wasting more money trying to fix and or buy another compressor.

Very quiet. Holds line pressure very well, only runs when painting. Easy to control pressure.

Too noisy

best compressor

Not much you can say other than it works great and performs leaps and bounds above any cheaper air compressor you might come across. If you are serious about airbrushing and plan on doing more than one project this thing is the way to go. It is a bit of an investment, however it is one that pays off in the long run.

Zero issues so far, mine goes up to about 45 psi max which is enough for my various brushes, they make a more powerful model for professionals but this should do more than fine for any hobbyist.

Great air compressor. I received it in the time quoted. Small quiet compact unit. I use it in my Nail Salon to do creative fancy nail art design. Oil free compressor. I like this unit. Works for me in my business.

Perfect!Perfect pressure for home tanning and for professional.

Not too loud. Exactly as I expected it to be!

Everything works. Good job.
