Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fuji 3003 Q3 PRO Quiet 3-Stage HVLP Spray SystemCustomer Review: FUJI Customer Service is TOPS Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this unit 2 years ago with the future in mind. 2 weeks ago the future finally arrived. As with most hobbyist woodworkers, I too never looked forward to the finishing process. After much research and past experience with their products I settled on the FUJI brand. Using this sprayer was a dream. The stain and poly coats came out flawless. The learning curve was quick and simple. But on to the title topic.
After maybe 15 uses I started to hear a brief rattle come from the compressor. It came and went 3x's before it was constant. After shutting down and disconnecting the electric and hose, I inspected the unit and found metal shavings at the hose outlet. Further inspection revealed that a turbine blade had broken away from the shaft and ground up. I sent and email (on a Saturday) to FUJI direct, detailing the situation.
Their reply was damn near immediate. Their statement "Please also remember, we do not make the motor. It is made by Ametek-Lamb Electric. They do not warranty their motors, but we do warranty our product so we are happy to replace it. 99.99% last at least 10 years and get a lot more usage than yours so it's just bad luck."
Yes, I have had it for 2 YEARS prior to its 1st use, but FUJI has stood behind their name and product. They have shipped me a complete, new motor and turbine replacement along with simple instructions. For those of you with the older black unit, they also made note of a modification that they have done to the sound proofing foam which they also sent a diagram with instructions.
Does it get any better?
Description of Fuji 3003 Q3 PRO Quiet 3-Stage HVLP Spray SystemThe Q3 GOLD model turbine spray system is the quietest 3-stage HVLP turbine on the market. Using patented noise reduction, noise levels have been reduced to less than 50% of standard HVLP turbines. All other specifications are identical to the Mini-Mite 3 model. Now supplied with the new Fuji XPC non-bleed spray gun with pattern control knob - the fan is adjustable from small round to large and everything in between (Fully incremental). The new Fuji XPC spray gun is also non-bleed - air only passes through the spray gun when the trigger is pulled. The benefit is less blowing around of shop dust and less paint buildup on the tip of the fluid nozzle. The spray gun features a stay-cool nylon handle, stainless steel fluid passages and an external needle packing adjustment. Obtain a professional finish with all known coatings.
