Which compressor do you like best?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I had a couple of the 110V small compressors for filling guns. One brand twice due to warranty.
Finally bit the bullet ad got the Daystate/Coltri MCH6.
I have 98cf bottles and fill them to fill my guns. Faster and handier because when I am in the field or at the ranch I don’t need power.
To each their own. Not everyone uses their air guns where and how I do. Just found that set up is the best thing I have found

What's a good budget compressor to fill this tank.

Depends on your definition of budget… not funny Haa.
anyway the cheapest and fastest , maybe best for ( what size is that ?)
tank shown well I went with a twin cylinder Tuxing. I’ve got the txed042.
I paid $360 but the price fluctuates. They come in many variations from
just the compressor no frame or extras through several more and you get
to mine which adds the twin water air filters, then the line continues to the
self contained water tank and cooling. They are heavy.
Another highly recommended budget is the Gx cs4i. This could double the
budget over the Tuxing. It’s small , light, quieter , runs cool , and slow.
You can hook up a dead empty 9 liter and walk away for four or five hours .
I have them both reason being I bought the Gx first and couldn’t pass up
trying the other for that price.

You're right, considering their advantages and disadvantages

I am refilling two 14L scba and one 9L Acecare with my YongHeng, forth or fifth year already, some 67 hours on the timer.
Out of boredom I was lurking with the idea to jump to next level compressor, in some $2000 range. Just for placebo...
But monitoring many compressor reviews and troubleshooting stories along the years, I cannot justify the expense over YH.
Yes, there are new machines coming up every year, people so excited buying those new and fancy.
But let see after 10 or 20 hours run time what is an average opinion?

And I believe I have over thousand pieces of orings for all my guns and projects. Hoping that I am set for a life ;)

So this is what is challenging me, as I read all of these posts regarding compressors. There is alot of valuable information regarding the various brands and experiences with them. I'm left with the impression that one can choose between the high priced options, of which there are a couple, that are proven performers with a full service backup dept. Or, one can toss the dice for some of the more reasonable Chinese options- which increasingly, testimonies here show some are not bad performers. However, service/backup seems to be largely minimal. But at the very least, unless you are an experienced mechanic with an engineering degree of some sort, you will only [likely] have frustrations in the long run with the less expensive options. Wish there was a line of units made in NA that fill the middle ground between these two goalposts.
