We give the Fuji Mini-Mite 3 PLATINUM a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Review Summary
If you’re looking for an industrial grade finisher at a price that won’t bankrupt you, the Fuji Mini-Mite 3 Platinum is going to be something to think about.
Though very expensive, this unit is still more affordable than many professional quality spray systems. And it delivers results that users at every level will love.
Fuji has a reputation for making high-quality finishers, and the Fuji Mini Mite 3 will certainly serve well to maintain that reputation.
The unit comes with a powerful, three-stage turbine motor, it can work with all known coatings (assuming they’ve been thinned as recommended), and it’s optimized to run quietly, which is a big plus since finishers are known for getting loud.
Another nice thing is the fact that there aren’t many cons to speak of. We did notice that the tool can get very hot around the host coupling, and we also found that the valve near the hose is a little bit flimsier than one would expect from a tool in this price range.
Of course, we don’t expect you to make a buying decision based on this information alone.
That in mind, let us now dive into our Fuji Mini-Mite 3 PLATINUM review:

The tool itself is relatively lightweight (weighing approximately 28 pounds), it’s compact, and it even features a handle that will make transporting it easy as pie.

Can Work With Any Known Material: Good for Users Who Demand Versatility

The benefit of this is, of course, obvious. This versatility ensures that you will find lots of work for the Mini Mite 3 to do.
