Thinking about purchasing a desktop cabinet and extraction system just to speed up cleaning of parts and removing rust. Anyone purchased from these guys?

I like the idea of this one with the extraction fitted to te back:

Seems large enough to get most parts into.

Slightly bigger than mine which also has vent/extraction ports. And is basically the same but costs less.
Which media do you use the most?

I bought some that was on sale. I have also used sand. All I will say is the means of sucking up the media is not good and the media keeps on needing to be moved about.

I have one very similar to nicks, I wouldn't bother with it unless you haven't got a lot to do. I've modified mine to improve it and still not perfect. The screen doesn't seal very well, i made a steel border to go around it to make it more rigid. It fills with dust pretty quickly, I've now got a vacuum to suck the dust out and the media doesn't fall down to the bottom so have made the 'slopes' steeper and more to a point.
Don't use actual sand as it contains silica and can cause silicosis!

I have the clarke desktop blaster and fitted a cyclonic filter to the side of it. I got the filter from ebay £10.99 and some 32mm overflow fittings from toolstation. Just connect it to a vacuum then. Does a brilliant job.
