Has anyone one tried a soda blaster to remove their paint?

One of my mates has got one, (will be borrowing it soon) He swears by it for paint stripping on his Ex Military defender. Takes off paint without distorting panels. No use for getting rid of corrosion though, not aggressive enough. though the one has has can be also used with sand by switching nozzles. Think it was about £100 off the internet/ebay.

Hi,
this is the one he has. Gone up a bit in price, but really good quality.
