Thoughts on the Benjamin Traveller Compressor
- Thread starter Polyphemus21
- Start date
I have had one for about 5 months now....has worked flawlessly.
Only problem is that now my patience level has dropped and want even quicker fill-ups on my guns.
A little cumbersome for me, since I set it up each time to use it, pull it out of the original box, attach inverter for use on 110 volt electricity.....but other than that, is great.

Don’t rule out the Hatsan Spark. I have had one for about a month now. The little compressor does a good job and has been used damn near daily to fill up one gun or another.

I’ve had mine for several months now filling my streamline works great only thing I don’t like is you have to unplug it to stop the fan but that’s not a big deal

Traveler arrived today around 6PM. Yipee!!.
Ordered it from MidWay on April 9th "on back-order" and expected product ship was April 18th. I said fine,as I could wait it out, if, in fact it was even real... You know it could be weeks, or, months, until you get a response to your ship date. MidWay delivered. Period.
I got an email on the 16th saying "it was on its way and would be there on the 17th. WhAT?, one day and it's here?, no way... Well it was 2 and here at, yes, 6pm Thurs. Crazy I know.
The other small details to this adventure is that if you have searched for a "Benjamin Traveler" by word on the web, MidWay comes up with a a price of $519.00 +T &S, which was very reasonable.
That is a $110 less than ANY other Legit Vendor advertising. So I thought I would wait it out and see. Well they delivered.
Patience paid off, as in a in a lot of cases it does.
My first impressions of delivery are...Pretty good. Well packed and "tight". Was intact with only one small dent/gash on the outside and all the inside compartments were solid.
I will test "My" experience with the first Fill and we shall go from there.......
Here are the first photos of what I saw. Ugh, another "opening", I know,sorry, I get it, what It is about is the shipping quality and arrival integrity ...LOL.
This is what I got...
I'm as hopeful as you all have been that have a Benjamin Traveler, and those that are searching for a great portable compressor.

Its a shame we cant find an AMERICAN company to make a quality compressor for our use at a (reasonable) cost, all these hpa compressors are built in China and relabeled with a marked up price. Reminds me of Reebok tennis shoes....made in Taiwan and re boxed.

Double check to ensure the fan is working, I know of one case where the fan was not connected during the assembly process which resulted in some overheating. When the compressor is on the fan should be on -- one on the PSU another on the compressor.

Thanks LMNOP,
All fans are working properly, check.
Update on the first fill: Made sure all the bits were tight and connected properly and connected it to my Marauder. Was so excited I forgot to time it from 2000-2500 psi! Did have my dB meter out and it was hovering @ 69-70dB indoors, which is not to loud at all. Shot 20 down to 2000 and filled to 3000. This time I timed it @ 3 1/2 min. for the fill and the dB range was 69-70 up to 72-73dB by the end of the fill.
Measured all the parts and accessories then went to Harbor Freight with a 25% off coupon and picked up an 18" tool bag that fits everything perfectly.$18 and some change. So far I'm very happy.
So glad pumping is a thing of the past.......

Fantastic! I know the joy of retiring the hand pump because that thing is a serious work out -- gone are your days of pumping more than plinking. Congratulations and fantastic setup with the carry bag which is a perfect fit. Nicely done!

Your idea for that bag was great and I just went and did the same. Congratulations on the compressor.

Great Choice. I love mine. It fills my BSA Buddy Bottles in about 6 min for the 200 CC and about 9 min for the 280CC. I was curious about the error codes and got this info from Crosman.
Benjamin Traveler error code list:
E0 - Temperature sensor error, it may due to the wire disconnected
E1 - Temperature over 85°C and it will automatically shut down
E2 - Voltage below 9.8V and it will automatically shut down
E3 - Start / Stop Button error
E4 - Pressure exceeded the set limit
E4 means the weapon/bottle is full and has reached the limit set on the pump to dial. I get E2 sometimes when using AC voltage.
