Are GAAHLERI AIRBRUSHES any good? 

Only 3 minutes in and it's the most scrutiny anyone's given one of these things in a review. Really appreciate that. A lot of reviews of this thing feel too good to be true, so really getting in there and looking at why it only costs $40 is exactly what I wanted to know.

Thank you for these reviews. It would be great to see a comparison between ACE , PS289 and eclipse.

Airbrushes like these are great for people who want to try airbrushing without splashing out a lot of cash. Also better than the really cheap ones that cause so much frustration that it can potentially put you off airbrushing altogether. Cheers Mark👍✌️

I would call this a win, it is like what a third of the price of an IWATA? Not looking at the NEO.

My Patriots last roughly about a year, before they break down. Patriots are $100-$120 a pop. This brush is $45 a pop. I use my Patriot to spray acrylic primer. Both have a 0.5mm needle. Seems like a better deal for me.

Just bought their dual compressor with the model 30 & 36 entry level classics that came with ... would love to know if you think they're good enough to learn on or just as frustrating as other entry level brushes. Should I just upgrade and go with the 39 one or the 98?

Thank you, it was. A buddy turned me on to this one earlier this week (I'm down a brush and needed a new general purpose workhorse). I ordered mine on Amazon for the aforementioned $45 price. It arrives tomorrow and look forward to putting it through its paces. Cheers

Despite the Italian sounding name these are Chinese airbrushes, but considerably more expensive than previous offerings. It seems to me Chinese airbrushes increased in popularity because they were cheap with reasonable performance and low cost spare parts. A really good Chinese airbrush can be had for $20, so are these expensive cousins worth the price hike? With prices rising to $100+ I would personally buy a USA made Badger every time.

Very good looking Airbrush for the price. I've believe that Gaahleri has quite a few different airbrushes at different prices. It will be interesting to see why exactly one costs more than another.

I plan on painting models soon and I was thinking about getting the GHAD-39 or a Iwata NEO has a backup airbrush (I plan on getting an Iwata Eclipse as my main airbrush), and I'm leaning towards the GHAD-39 because of the nozzle but I want to know if you think the NEO has any advantages over the GHAD-39?

Have never touched an airbrush before and bought this one on Amazon just by reviews on there. I wanted to try airbrushing my 3D prints and started gathering the equipment. After watching your review, I feel confident that I made the right decision. Thanks!

They work fine...The cup, body threads and the whole threaded fitment suck. It's too loose...and easily prone to cross threading. Drop the brush by accident and watch the cup fly off...Goodbye threads.

I bought a Gaahleri and it stopped working correctly after a couple uses. I actually like my Masters airbrush better and it was less money.

Saludos amigó! Yo compré el GHAD-39 y me respondió muy vien , me toca limpiar mi Ariografo q recomiendas para limpiarlo , gracias por el video un fuerte saludo 👏👏🤗👍🇲🇽

had mine for a couple months now and I'm really like it for my fishing Lure painting.. like the video says I can do all the fine detail work i need to do with brushing in the Lines, patterns and stencil work.. I've posted my work On FB & Instagram and my VERY generic RU-vid page (dj's custom lures) only been painting about 4 months and not only are buddies impressed so are other experienced lure painters .... I'm surprising myself with the quality of the outcomes of what i've been able to create with the GHAD-39... I don't see spending $189-$200 on an Iwata HPC like alot of the lure painters do when I can produce PURT NEAR the same quality .... If someone was to give me a HIGH END brush ( even a higher end Gaahleri ) to compare and my outcomes greatly improved I'd purchase it and promote it as well ... like I do this one in all the fishing groups I'm in BTW great customer service too !!!

Giving the needles a polish might help with consistency its very quick and easy to do

Would love to see you review the entry level airbrush from Harder & Steenbeck - Harder & Steenbeck Ultra

I purchased a GHAD-39 a few week back and have it say it was hands down the best move I have made. I've tried the Eclipse and even the AirCorba (which was my brush of choice) both of which can't hold a light to the 39. One hell of a detail brush for one hell of a price.

I've considered taking a look at these.. The delay and inconsistency pulling the trigger back is usually related to slight movements around the trigger rocker, it would be interesting to know if those will interchange with the eclipse style most every other chinese airbrush uses. I cant tell if they squared off the trigger stem or not, but thats one area most chinese brushes fail at, and leads to a slightly less stable trigger. IE that wider flatter surface on the creos 270/289 is one reason they have such excellent trigger feel and response. (badger puts some curve in their rocker to help with their round post and iwata / creos use a flat cut post to mate up to their rocker assemblies) The nozzle design of course remains to see if longevity is there. The 100.00 price point version is probably higher than I think most are comfortable taking a gamble on. I know for me the "cheap" sure ill try it out break point is much lower on chinese brushes. Where I have no problem paying well over 100.00 for a known quality airbrush.

My HP-C has a separate lever guide, and that brush has been my workhorse for twenty years.

Wanna get it but it doesnt say anywhere if you need a compressor or if its USB. Can you tell me pls

really interested into see what you thought of this new brand.

Thanks for the review :) Have you got to try out the 98 yet? If so, what do you think about it?

I bought the 98 and its been serving me well for the past week. Even with the default nozzle once I turn the valve lower it starts spraying a smaller line, which was a huge help with my free hand camo. The difference is visible on the armor parts I painted before and after the airbrush.

such a great video. thank you!

Hi i am an absolut beginner, how mutch bar u have use? Thanks

Can you put a 0.2 needle and nozzle in this?

Based entirely on this review, i bought this model. It arrived with the void sticker shot, a dirty needle and paint cup stained inside. I cleaned out the brush and tried to use it. The flow came out at 30° from the tip and had a shape unlike a cone of spray. Not impressed.

Probably benefit from a polish on the needle.

Good review! I absolutely love mine!

You didn't show the annoying part.

Great review, I got one, I’ll use this for priming!

Thanks for this, I currently have an Iwata Neo that a friend gave me.. I ve been using it for basecoating warhammer but never any details, would this airbrush be a decent upgrade without getting too crazy??

Dood! You didn't put it back together. Ffs

Bought mine on Amazon during Christmas Sale for $29!

I just received a GHAD-39 and am very happy with it. I've used it to do camouflage on a 1/72 Hawker Hurricane and overall dark blue on a Grumman Hellcat, also 1/72. Both look great. The control for doing camo on such a small model was excellent. The weight in-hand was also a plus.

Got one. Haven't used it yet. Got it for the 5mil needle for chunky metallics n thicker primers

Seems to be quite good if your point of comparison for issues is an airbrush that's more than 2.5 times the price from a long standing brand. This looks like a great first airbrush

This channel really is very honest and because of that, GREAT !!

hi there i purchased the iar brush but not a pressure device. please can you advice which pressure device and cable i need to purchase because i am lost at the moment. Thank you

👍👍👍👍👍

One thing I found with the 8 prong nozzle brush is you can’t crack the nozzle cap to back flush it. It will geyser out of the cup as soon as you press down the air. You can still back flush by physically blocking the nozzle but I found that interesting.

'Advancad' bwaaaaaaaahaaaaaa

$24.99 with coupon on Amazon right now.

If it’s possible you should take the one they offer you to like raffle off or something

Thank you for complete and honest review. I'm up to order their trigger model, at 77 euros it might be a good deal too. Did someone out there already tested it? Thank you for your help and advice. Note that I already have an Iwata. 35 Neo ans the H&S Évolution 0.2 for smaller details, but I sometimes whish I had a larger nozzle /needle combo to prime larger surfaces (I custom paint gunpla kits). The trigger solution looks like a good thing. What do you think about it?

High respect to you sir. I have seen reviews by studio D claiming it is an honest review ( which could be by the way) and saying he hasn't been paid for the review, but hey he's a business partner and one of their Airbrushes carries his name. It was a good review however it will always be biased and if a manufacturer is sending any reviewer a free airbrush then the review would be biased most of the time. it is just the human nature. Excellent review as usual. Again Respect !!!

What size coupling does your iwata take need help just bought one and don’t know much abt airbrushes.

would this be good for painting minis

Thanks for the review would like to see the 98 review

Your the best Chanel quality and discerning guy about airbrush art and tools..congratulations your have all my respect…and pretty sure from all community…love Your Chanel brother…

Is it possible to polish the needle? I usually use leather when I first get a needle thinking it might help polish but who knows

Excellent customer service as well from Gaahleri. Very communicative.

I picked one of these up a couple weeks ago for my s.o. right after getting myself a H&S Infinity. I'm jealous of the no nonsense greatness of this brush and the box it comes with blows the Infinity's out of the water. It has a beautiful breakdown diagram lovingly inset into the box lid. It comes with a test card... You can pull the needle through the front like the Infinity. I WISH this thing was around when I got started airbrushing; what a step up in quality and cost-effectiveness.

I bought one and I love it

Very informative and good video.

They work great

Thank you for all the great content and these reviews, question: have you tried any portable compressors? I travel often and I have been thinking on getting one just to have something not too big that fits in my luggage and doesnt weight 4+ kg. Cheers

Thanks for the review !

Thank you for sharing your video it was a bit late but still helpful

Great air brushes! If you can’t accept a ‘freebie’ and stay independent then you need to rethink your choices!! Bob England

WHY!!!! are you continually comparing the 39 to the Iwata... $40 vs $400,

I'm just wondering if it's false economy not to just buy an Iwata as my first airbrush. If I'm not completely happy with it, I'll end up having to buy something better anyway.

The 39 version is a pure ripoff of Iwata HPCR at least the design

So here's my question, the .35mm is the same as the iwata, could you use the iwata needle in this? It might help the trigger response

Yep, bought the GHAD-39 and its GARBAGE. Needle is so tight inside the body the trigger simply does not work.

Another great review👍✌️💜😊 Im a H&S fan, Ive got Paasche and Sparmax too. Ive purchased one of these GAD39's, for £30 as either a backup or a primer/basecoat airbrush. Im happy at that price point, hopefully theyll stay with us, they seem to be customer focused, so hopefully theyll keep getting better and stock parts. Theres about 3-5 of you YT guys I rate with your work and reviews, hopefully airbrush manufacturers listen to you and continuously improve. Your reviews are very scientific and consistent, I love your ethics and work too✌️👍💜😊 Ive Chinese friends, love the people but not the government🇨🇳🇨🇳 (mind you I could say that about a lot of countries by degrees, including the "UK" government the corporate name for the British Isles and its current form of government and deep state government). Thats my only reservation, so far. Ill see how I get on with the airbrush though ✌️🤞👍💜😊

45 us$??? I don´t know, I wouldn´t buy it. It´s just another chinese generic airbrush that has been given some branding, only slighty better than no branded ones. For the money, I would go for used Iwata or Badger (cheaper replacement parts). For a new one, easy... Sparmax. For something cheaper and better, maybe a Fengda/Timbertech AG-183K (floating nozzle, 3 needle size and 3 cups, etc).
