Bauer makes some nice compressors, what requirements do you have it narrowed down to?
There are some equally reliable compressors out there, for less $$, but you usually have to trade off to larger dimensions & more weight.

no doubt about it.F.Y.I. the only way to get one thru the Bauer Co. is to contact them directly and then they will build it for you.
They do not keep any in stock so to speak.I ran across this while inquiring on one for T.L.

Check with some of the commercial dive gear outfits, they'll probably sell you one cheaper than you can get it from the factory.
That's been my experience, anyway.

Bauer compressors are actually designed for continuous duty unlike some of the less expensive but similar output sized machines you may come across. Bauer's all use an oil pump to force lube vital areas, whereas most others just use a splash lube from the sump. Bauer also uses needle bearings on the upper connecting rods and roller bearings on the crankshaft to improve durability. You could certainly do worse than a Bauer.
