Those little chinese compressors...

Those $200 + shipping; has anyone tried one ? Would they last to fill 100 tanks ?

Somewhere browsing their instructions I read they use plain motor oil What is the deal with that ? Are their pistons not lubricated ? The compressor I had used Mil-6085A (or something like that) oil.

Did you calculate how many hours one would have to run to fill 100 tanks?

Did not find clear specifications for those. From guessing, about 2 hours each tank ? A couple a week... Could it survive a year ?

my 2hp takes an hour. I'm thinking much longer.

I have been getting mixed reviews from owners. Many have failed or needed some machining right out of the box. A couple have blown apart for no apparent reason. I have only been involved because they don't come with a filtration system and the owners are tired of crapping up their $1000 air guns. So they are asking me to provide them with a solution. I find it kind of silly to put a $400 filtration system on a $200 compressor but I do what I have to do!
