I have a floor standing version similar to the first one you linked to
it will take a full car/motorcycle wheel.
it only has one access door

its fine for occasional use
I've made a vibrator to shake the media down so it goes back to the suction tube (it clumps otherwise)
Replaced the internal light with a 150watt light (so theres a chance of seeing what you doing)
added a air gun for cleaning off purposes within the cabinet.
Make sure your parts are clean of oil and grease before blasting
You need a extractor to keep the cabinet clear of dust
You need abig compressor
I have a 12cfm hydrovane which only just keeps up with consumption

Hope that helps

You were spot on Ian, works for about three seconds and runs out of sand. I will put a sump underneath and drop the feed pipe in that. Attached vacuum cleaner to it to clear the dust.
 
sump fitted workes well now
