Compressor advice

[Lee Roberts]

Exactly a compressor not worth buying. .

Why not that is contradicting what you've said above "2hp mega store" or did I miss something ?

From what I can tell all these Aldi/Lidl power tools come from the same main brand and just get re branded, for instance my drill press is a PowerCraft, little 80a stick welder - pankhurst. Both are listed on the main website - Erbauer.

Its just in my opinion, but 2hp for £70 is what i meant. You could all with that one and even paint/and wait every 2 min a bit if big HVLP gun/. The problem with the £150 one you show is that it will not reach professional lever for using air tools and not reach the CFM for paint gun, but at the same time is double more expensive.

What i mean it is double or triple more expensive and will do the same job.

i would classify the compressors worth buying like that:

0. Silent compressor, good for blowing dust of lens, cleaning pc, small airbrush jobs

1. 2hp -70-80 euro Ok for inflating tyres and all around, non pro but usefull. The one that is a must to have at home

2. then next one is 2-3kw 1hp, belt driven 50l or more, 500 and more euro, 500=chinese

3. The best for a small workshop 2-3kw, belt driven 1 phase 100-200l or if you have 3 phase 3-4kw, 200l.


I have all 3. silent for when wife sleeps, aerograph or lens cleaning, small one is portable, when i need to bring it somewhere or with the car, or on job site. Big one recently obtained, for painting, plasma, air tools, etc...
