Read the small print. "For cave diving only". The minicompressor puts out trimix only. I knew there was catch.

A scam??? Oh dear. And I was so hoping to get a compressor that I could fill my pony from for $29.99.
It probably will. Question is, in how many days?here I thought I found a reasonably priced compressor to fill my HP doubles! The ad even says it will fill any tank.
The site claims they can fill the 3000 psi (200 bar) tank in 3 minutes. They never indicate the volume of the tanks they're talking about. They do say it will fill 4500 psi tanks (300 bar) but don't give a time.It probably will. Question is, in how many days?
Over here on the right (hand) site of the pond, 300 bar (4350 psi for you metrically-challenged folks) tanks aren't unheard of. They're not particularly popular among the tech crowd, as they make PP blending calculations a PITA, but for us rec folks they can be quite nice. Lower water volume makes for lower weighting requirements, which can be a good thing if you normally carry some 10+ kg (20+ lbs) of weight.
You don't say...I don't think these guys are selling a product at all. I think they're just tricking people into providing credit card numbers.
