Einhell compressor

[jimbo84]

Has anyone got any experience of these? Looking for a cheap compressor for occasional use.

I’ve got some other einhell bits and for what you pay for their stuff they seem half decent. Wondering if the same could be said for their compressors.

All depends what you want to do with it. They are a generic Chinese manufacture. Be OK for running a nail gun, blowing the odd tyre up (slowly) but not much else

Thanks, yeah that’s all really, running a model steam engine on air, the odd tyre top up and I’ve always fancied trying a bit of airbrushing so possible that and then any other small things that might crop up.

Space is limited as is budget for this.

model steam engine will take a supposing amount of air. The last thing you want is to run a compressor continuously. Airbrush ok, but you will be slow doing it.

I have the 30l upright one. It's really good in that it is really economical to store space wise, fits perfectly in a corner and no horizontal one would but by heck is it noisy. I'm not usually fussed by tool noise just put ear plugs in and carry on but when it's running I tend to leave the garage.
