$1000 Compressor

[ltreperinas]

I’m willing to spend approximately $1000 on a compressor. Are there any high quality options for around that pricepoint?

See the Hatsan Lightning threads below. Field Supply did have them for about that cost. Many seen quite happy with them. Probably more information than you need in those threads.

i can only say what i have bought my first one was $1000 from Modair and it broke over 12 times wiring ,, cooling system , melting switches piston rings , leaks , itwas a mess .My friend told me If you want a commercial unit which is rugged , you wont have to keep fixing it or running to scuba shop, Airtex 45 , so I got one 2 years ago I run it probably 10 times a week filling guns or tanks and it never failed me , it fills a 90cuin tank in 4 to 5 minutes and a gun in seconds . The filtration system and all parts are quality nothing cheap on it but it is over $1000 , I got mine on sale $500 off ,I do not know aobut the new ones which just came out , I think only time will tell LOU

here is pic of both units



mrodair is junk

Airtex 45 GOOD

Last I heard the Airetex class of compressors were selling just under $3000 but that could be wrong. Seems that the Nuvair compressors I've looked at are also just under $3000 without shipping. Lots of difference in $1000 and $3000. But those higher cost compressors would almost certainly last longer, fill faster, and have more resale value. Different strokes.
