I have the same booth, also sans extract hose. It has worked well for many years. It can be folded down in seconds when not in use. It catches overspray nicely, but dont rely on it as a protective device. It takes out coarse particles and dry paint flakes, but not much else. Use a decent A1P1 rated half face respirator, such as the 3M 6000 range. I think of both of them as essential to airbrush work.
