Could you post a pic of the electrical motor data plate?
I'm trying to see how I need to wire an outlet for one for the future.
Thanks.

Desiccant filters on intake side don’t really do anything. They require a dwell time. The best way to drop incoming humidity is running it through a chiller to make the air condensate and that’s not practical for small home compressors or even large commercial compressors. A compressor intake needs unrestricted air flow. If you do anything to try and dry incoming air be sure to install a differential pressure gauge so you can assure you aren’t starving the intake at all.

I suppose because they are sold is not enough to justify effectiveness, ok. However, I would not say they don't really do anything, probably just not as much.
Other than that, yes, everything you said.

That's my understanding as well. Starting the intake hose indoors seems the simplest way to start with less humid air.
Not going to sweat it too much- pretty robust water separation & filtration on these units.

Yeah, that Air Venturi drier is a joke. If you don’t dwell the air, all it is is a restriction. And they know it, but marketing is a wonderful thing.

Remember, they make a 120 volt, and a 240 volt compressor. You would need to be sure of your motor voltage needs.
