Authentic Yong Heng?

Hi All,

Im looking to buy a new compressor. It will be used to fill a 6.8L maybe once or twice, and then used for top offs. Im looking at the Yong Heng and GX-CS4. The link below is the Yong Heng from Amazon, and would like your thoughts if you believe it is an authentic compressor. Would also like thoughts between the two compressors as well. The GX is on sale with a discount code for $495, while the Yong Heng through Amazon is $265. I also posted a link to the GX compressor as well.

Thank you, Erik


 
its real iffy 'going lowball' and getting one from a vendor that isnt moving alot of them ( look at the reviews, two?) ... how i read that is he got them secondhand probably, as returns from his uncles store, comprende? maybe nothing wrong with it at all .. maybe .. but its alot more positive usually to get something like this from a vendor thats moving 'scores' of them, even if its a few dollars more .. and yes if the pic isnt 'borrowed' it looks like a genuine generic chinese yongheng ..

Authentic Yong Hengs are manufactured by the Nantong YongyIheng Pneumatic Company, LTD of Jiangsu, China. The compressor ID plate (pictured) will note manufacturer as YongyIheng Pneumatic Company. Searching Specification Chart, in the Amazon link provided, MSTGE is identified as brand and manufacturer, not YongyIheng Pneumatic Company. Authentic Yong Heng is doubtful. WM

Pictures LOOK correct but you could always message the seller & verify it's authentic. My newer YH, purchased April of last year, sports a new model #, 30QB-SD. It seems to be more robust in build quality than my 1st one. You could probably verify the model with the seller too. Here's a picture of the new nameplate. Get the extended warranty! It's worth it! Tried to look at specs but was giving me info about a Tuxing compressor. Just VERIFY with seller!

Thank you. I will be messaging the sellers tonight.
 
Your compressor looks like it has a rounded cover. I'd like to see other pictures. Where did yours come from?
It would be interesting to know the upgrades.
My orginal is approaching 50 hours without problems and I have spare parts But...
If you meant MY compressor, it's a regular looking rectangular Yong Heng. I took that picture using a flashlight on the nameplate. Maybe that's why it appears rounded. It tops off tanks faster than my old one did & the oil has not discolored one iota since April or May of '24. My old one always had discoloration to some degree after a short while. Almost freaks me out how clean it's stayed, Almost. Runs like a champ. Bought off Amazon, seller was TopDeep.
