How often do you use your blast cabinet?

I’ve been thinking about getting a blast cabinet. For those that have them, how often do you use your cabinet and what do you typically use it for? What media do you run? Should I get a cheap cabinet or man up and get something nicer?

Thanks!

Answers on this are subjective, some tools I use infrequently but want a quality product. For me the cabinet size and specs were important so I purchased one that is rather expensive. I was fine with a larger cabinet as I have the space for it and the vacuum it came with.

At this point if I were to get one it would likely be a **** blast from TP tools. Although the last thing I sandblasted was an 8 foot snowplow so I don't see a blast cabinet in the near future.

I’ve got the Harbor Freight floor standing blast cabinet and for light hobby shop or general homeowner use it’s a good cabinet. I did replace the gun assembly with a TP Tools gun setup which is a much needed upgrade. I run garnet in mine and as far as how often it gets used, it will just sit in the corner for months and then it will get used just about every day for a month.
