Everything Included--Just Add Paint
The Mini-Mite 4 System includes everything you need to start spraying: the turbine, spray gun with cup, 25-foot hose with quick-connect, air control valve, user manual, viscosity cup, wrench, and cleaning brush. All you need to do is add paint.

Powerful Mini-Mite 4 Turbine
The Mini-Mite 4 Turbine System is equipped with the Ametek-Lamb Electric 4-stage turbine motor type #119292, which is the same 4-stage turbine installed in every 4-stage system on the market. The 4-stage turbine is ideal for heavier paints such as latex house paint.

The difference compared to the higher-end Q4 PRO system is that the Mini-Mite does not have any of the noise-reduction features. You'll want to keep this in mind if noise-level is a factor.

Non-Bleed Spray Gun with High-Efficiency Aircap for Better Performance
The included Fuji XT-2 Spray gun is non-bleed, which means that air passes through the spray gun only when the trigger is pulled, so there is less paint build-up on the fluid nozzle tip, less blowing of shop dust, and less turbulence in the spray area.

The Aircap features a design that provides a cleaner spray pattern. The result is less overspray and mist in the air. You can purchase additional Aircaps, and different Aircaps are color-coded, so it is easy to select the one you need.

Save Time with the Conveniently Located Air Control Valve
While other spray systems include controls on the turbine, Fuji has installed the air control valve right at your fingertips, so you can quickly and easily reduce overspray and bounceback.

Hose Stays Flexible for Many Years
The included Fuji Hi-Flex hose is designed to stay flexible regardless of temperature for many years. If you've used the typical solid plastic hoses that come with most HVLP turbine systems, you'll really appreciate the maneuverability and ease-of-use of the Hi-Flex hose design.

The Fuji Mini-Mite 4-Stage HVLP Turbine Spray System is backed by a two-year parts and labor warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars My first HVLP unit, July 10, 2006

By	Chuck (Eastern WA, USA) - See all my reviews

My 4 star rating is based on not really having any other HVLP spray unit for comparison. I like this unit quite well. The Mini Mite 4 turbine. is noisy, while I do not have the ability to measure db levels, I would rate it about the same in noise to my DW735 13" planner(loud). You definitely need hearing protection if you are going to operate the turbine anywhere close to where you will be spraying.

So far all I have used it for is latex enamel and it sprayed just fine. The spray gun has three different controls that will control the width of the spray pattern. The nozzle itself can be screwed in or out which offers basic width control, additional control can be obtained by adjusting the airflow where the hose connects (a quick release coupling) to the gun, and by adjusting the needle itself. Just in my initial testing, I was able to get the spray width down to approximately 1". Using the four stage MM4 turbine and the standard tip included, it handled latex thined about 15%, I did not try unthinned latex.

The standard color cup holds enough paint for smaller projects, such as an end table or coffee table, a large chest would probably require a refill (or two) during use. The spray gun is easy to clean, remove the cup, pour whatever paint is remaining out and fill part way with an appropriate thinner (I used water for latex) and spray the thinners cleaning the paint flow channel. Repeat as necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing results with a small price, September 16, 2007

By	The Oracle (CA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this unit when Amazon had their 20% off sale. It is the same thing as the Q-4 PRO Quiet version, same motor, same fan, gun and hose except you save over $200! It says the PRO is much quieter. Yes it may be but the MINI is not that noisy, about the same as a shop-vac. Besides, I made the mistake of putting the fan unit inside my spray booth (read garage) and got atomized finish all over the motor unit. I tried to clean the unit with solvents and the logo dissolved right off - what a mess! Not to mention the sponge filter clogs much faster, because it's trying to suck in dirty air. Now I put the unit outside the garage where the air is clean and if I shut the door half way, I don't hear the unit that much.

As far as the sprayer goes, it's construction is solid and performs well. Much better than the mid level HVLP conversion (compressor) sprayer I used to use. The conversion gun required so many adjustments to get the desired flow, it was purely a frustrating experience. Each time I use the darned thing I get inconsistent results. Lord knows how many times I had to sand down to bare wood so I can re-finish the work again and again (read angry clients).

With the MINI-MITE 4 all I do is fill it with the material, turn one nozzle to fine tune, test and spray away. Now I can spend more time on spraying than setting up the gun. For easy clean up I line the cup with a zip-lock sandwich bag (make sure your finish material and cleaning solvent does not dissolve the plastic bag, also make sure the lid lock is cranked tight to ensure no leakage). Any remaining material left over can be soaked with paper towel, zipped and tossed. Line again with zip lock, put some cleaning solvent and clean the gun. Zip, toss and you're done. To further ease clean up I covered the hose with a plastic sleeve. The local hardware store sells poly-vinyl sleeves for plumbing??? for about $.42 a foot. Snake the hose through the plastic and tape the ends. Done, no more messy finish on the hose.

Get this unit you will love it. Not only that, you will never go back to conversion HVLPs any more.
Note: if you are looking at the 3 stage units, pay a few extra and get the 4 stage you will not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sprayer, super value..., August 2, 2007

By	NeoDeNardo (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

Outstanding product. Great bang for the buck compared to the Fuji Q4. This system also has a 4 stage turbine (the same as the Q4 I believe) but for about $200 bucks less than the Q4. Use the savings to purchase the 6 foot whip hose and the 3 mini cup set and you're still ahead well over $100. Fuji Industrial Spray Equipment 6-Foot Flexible Whip Hose #2049FFuji Industrial Spray Equipment Mini-Cup Set, 3-Piece #9080I highly recommend these accessories. The unit is about as loud as a shop vac and still quieter than most shop equipment, but I use only for short periods at a time and wear ear protection so the exra noise is not that much of an issue.

Since I purchased the unit, I did a test spray on shelving units in my shop, followed by refinishing an oak table, a wicker lounge chair, a wrought iron bench, and a desk I made for my daughters art room. Outstanding results on all of these projects using Benjamin Moore paints and Minwax varnish products. Saved a tremendous amount of time as well.
