Would like to know your thoughts please?

The 14cfm is the volume of air in not out, output will be roughly 10cfm, maybe a tad less. Other than that looks the same as many others made in the far east!

Same as the Wolf Dakota ones from UK home shopping but with a different paint job. They sometimes come up cheaper on eBay. Draper and others sell the same for a lot more money.

I have used the wolf compressor for a few years now, which as pedrobedro says is identical to the sgs version. SGS generally have good customer service but surprisingly the same can be said for the ukhs.tv which sells the dakotas, they sent me out a free part when I misplaced it even though I'd bought it off amazon. It's about as big as you're going to get on a standard electricity supply and copes fine with everything I've asked of it, including a bit of blasting.
