Time to upgrade

[MikeAndrews]

So I’ve been using my local dive shop for a couple of years to get my tank topped off, it’s about 30 minutes from my store and the only times available to drop it off are during work hours. Fortunately my working conditions allow me to sneak away to do so but it is inconvenient. I have been tossing around the idea of getting a compressor for awhile now and have read a lot of posts on the various options out there. Well my wife finally sat down and crunched the numbers and the cost would pay for itself in five years so a Coltri MCH6 will be shipping on Monday. I am looking forward to spring when I can move from the basement range to outdoors as I live in the woods and miss the longer ranges available.

Nice choice on the compressor!! Wow!

So, yer all in with that dive compressor then. Congrats on the purchase I'm sure it will serve you well for many years to come.

It's pretty much what you have to do if you want to get away from the poorly designed or poor Chinese QC compressors.

Hi biohazardman, that seems to be the consensus among those with experience. I would much prefer to buy once and have a reliable tool.

Who did you buy it from and what did you pay? what was the shipping cost?

Love my MCH-3, 23 hours last year since my purchase.

How is the noise level? The one from AOA looks like a rebranded MCH-3 but from Daystate.

I came real close to buying the one form AOA. One of the guys that work there Rich talked me out of it... First he said you have to have a dedicated 30 amp 120VAC plug for it and he said it fills so fast you have to go back and top off because of the heat build up it drops alot of pressure... Funny they did not want to sell something.

the BEST purchase I made in my airgun hobby is the Coltri MCH 6,, I got air!!!, gave my Yong Heng away to a poor friend and my twin cylinder Davv sits in the dark, broken and I got tired of fixing it over and over. My Coltri is great and I would have been happy with the other quality compressors like AirTex, Bauer, or Alkin. I am in this hobby to shoot my guns! not to work on air compressors or drive to dive shops for a refill

So I purchased the compressor from Nuvair and the cost plus shipping is just under 3 grand. The person I worked with is Mitch. He was very helpful and made sure I understood the different models available. Since it hasn’t even shipped I don’t have any real experience yet but I look forward to a long run of trouble free use.
