What does everyone recommend for a compressor under $2,000? I'm looking for fastes way to fill in my 9L bottles.
Best Compressor under $2,000

I actually have a CS4 and it's nice... I have 2, 9L tanks, and a 6L thank I fill all the time. I was just wondering if maybe something could fill them faster!

Why not spend a little more and get a Carette II? I am considering a similar purchase. Maybe there'll be some sales as we enter the holiday saving season?

I just filled my 9L from 3000 to 4500 in 20 min increments and it took 80 min, so almost an hour anya half.

My CS4 has been topping off a 97 cu ft for the past 8 months now and it has 45 hours on it. Is it good for it, probably not in the long run so I got something else and gave the CS4 a break. I just got my hands on a GX-E-5K1 but it's to soon to make a recommendation on it. It definitely looks like it will go the distance.

In 80 minutes I have filled 9 liter tanks from completely empty to 300 bar with a yong heng.
It certainly fits the under $2000 and faster requirements. Not easier.

Daystate 4500 PSI Compressor 110V Super Leggero looks like a good one. A bit over your budget, but may go on sale during the holidays as mentioned. If I didn't get the GX, this would have been my choice.

I gotcha!! I also have the old trusty Yong Heng. I may just give my CS for a break occasionally and use my Yong Heng.

Wow! I fill my 6.5L tanks several times a week from 3k to 4k and from empty to 4.5k annually for an interior *inspection and it takes me just over an hour.
I just use my Yong Heng too!

I actually have a Yong Heng and I've been using to get for over a year. I was just looking for something that is a little more portable and not so much work to set up, lol!!!

Yong heng filling 60 minute scba from empty
Happening now, kind of a proof of concept fill/run for my yong heng. Cobbled together a setup with radiator water cooling and some electric fans. I picked up 2 60 minute scba tanks off ebay. Seller emptied them before shipping. How long will it take, gonna see if I can find a stable temp for...
