I like the **** benchtop, any others?
My advise is don't get a benchtop blast cabinet if you can avoid it. If you can't avoid it, get one with the deepest, steepest hopper you can find. The biggest issue with benchtop machines is the shallow slope of the hopper and the media getting stuck on the sides.
The second biggest issue is that you may not have room below the cabinet to add a metering valve, which is a very desirable upgrade if your pickup tube does not work optimally.
If you want a benchtop cabinet because they're small, just look for a small floor standing model (they exist). If you want a benchtop cabinet because the only space you have is on a bench, you may just have to deal with the issues I've discussed.
The little trinco tr20 is a "benchtop" machine with nice steep sides and it's a good little machine, but very small volume. The little econoline is also nice but even smaller. I've owned both of those.
The Cyclone benchtop model appears to have moderately steep sides, but probably not as steep as the two mentioned.
The skat is pretty similar to a lot of models in that size range, including the Harbor freight benchtop model. I've owned that one and struggled with some of the issues I've discussed. I had to put a lot of media in it to keep it flowing, and ultimately had to mount it on a heavily modified cart with a metering valve to get the performance I wanted, and that was running the skat/tp tools gun which is what the skat cabinet would come equipped with.
Good luck!
