6 Litre Air Compressor 5.7 CFM, 1.5 HP, 6L

This is a great little compressor, just be aware of its limitations in terms of the amount of air it can deliver in sustained blasts.You will find it comes up to pressure quickly, but also the pressure drops quickly when you draw air from it. Nothing wrong here – it's a small compressor with a small motor and equally small air receiver – to be expected.It is great value and well made – straight out of the box everything was screwed on tightly and there were no air leaks.As others have commented – there is no mention of the air connector type fitted to this compressor. It is ¼ inch “Euro” type.It is noisy – but that is to be expected. Try and operate it as far away from yourself as possible and noise does not become too much of an issue.You have to run it in for 30 minutes when you first use it. This involves setting it up so it blows air without compressing it.The instructions are not very clear on this subject and if you follow them to the letter you end up with a tank of compressed air and the unit turning itself off via the auto shut off device.The easiest way to run it in is to completely remove the water drain valve and set it going for 30 minutes. I would recommend shutting it away in a room somewhere as it is even noisier when just blowing air without compressing it.I mainly use it with a blow gun for blowing dust out of computers, printers and other pieces of equipment.Hooking up an air hose straight to the compressor and then attaching a blow gun did result in occasional drops of water being blown out of the blow gun.This was fixed by attaching a water separator/trap with male and female euro quick release connectors to either side of the water trap. There was just enough space for it to directly attach to the compressor without it touching the ground (the air outlet of the compressor is approx 6 inches off the ground – so select your water trap accordingly).All in all, very pleased with it.

A nice little compressor. The tank is obviously tiny, but once empty, it fills back up pretty quickly, in maybe 10-15 secs. It is a very noisy little thing, but it does the job I need it to do, which is to fill painters pressure pot. I had calculated that it should do it in one go with the size tank it has, but it will take a full tank, and another maybe 10 secs to get a 10l pot to 4 bar of pressure.

Husband says it's a fantastic compressor and a very good price. He's an engineer so must be good then. You do have to buy attachments separately.

Came in a good strong box So packet OK Came on time Check all nuts and bolts First Switch on up to pressure Switch of at set pressure So all working great THANK YOU

Seems to be a reasonable piece of kit. Shame it didn't come with accessories - which I knew, however when I rang them requesting pipe etc. they didn't supply any, leaving me to source locally humping the compressor with me to assure compatibility. Once I eventually get it working I am sure it will be fine.

Great little compressor for my home garage car and bike tyres small pin nailed and staple gun recomend for hobby work

We have now had this compressor for 2 weeks and been unable to use it due to them supplying an instruction manual for an older model. We have been trying to get the new manual from the company directly during this period of time. Trying to get through in the first place involves long wait times, one day they even had a message saying we are currently at lunch we will be back at one on all day! Having just spoken to someone who promised to email the manual yet again (still haven't received it) they told us the new manual was available on line ..... you've guessed it, it's still the old one! We were then told to ignore the air release valve as it was now redundant and we didn't need to use that to dispel the contained air just do it through the hand tool, when asked why the air valve was still on the equipment we were told it was because they haven't changed the design! So as you can see we are still unsure of the safest way to operate this piece of equipment, the after care has been of no use and we can't get up to date instructions for it. Avoid at all costs.

Does what it says on the tin used it to spray paint and it done it
