Erm , dunno, it's red, single phase, about 150 litres, works a treat.
I've also got a 3 phase compressor head
to go on a huge tank. But no tank yet.
A small 20 litre thing for blowing up tyres, and inflatable pool toys. Pool toys I said.
But this is clearly the highest rated compressor I own (joking). It's absolute carp. 15 bar my bottom.

Small and silent are not something that go with an air fed mask, even more so if you're running a spray gun

Ah mate.. feel sorry for you with such a terrible system.. I have a broken 100L SGS 14cfm I could trade you to get you out of a tight spot?

I have an old vintage single phase dental compressor, V twin cylinders , oil less and has an integrated dryer, 20L tank, use it for my 40A plasma
It's very quite, and can use for airbrushing too, not that i know how to air brush.
And a basic V twin 5 HP single phase with a 100L tank for other stuff.
BTW dental compressors are very efficient and low noise.

Motor burnt out now all it does is trip the breaker and short to the case. Only had it 2 months.
When I went to investigate what was wrong half the head bolts were working themselves loose, one of the gaskets on one side had deteriorated and was leaking.
They wanted 80 quid to ship it back to them and wouldn't accept me dropping it off as I only live an hour from them. Stolen the tank off it for my new system and wont bother with that company again.
I should have a 28cfm tandem unit arriving today from FIAC. Customer service has been sketchy at best so we will see if it actually turns up
not a terrible thing if it doesnt as I dont really want to be moving a 170kg compressor in 35 degree heat...Motor burnt out now all it does is trip the breaker and short to the case. Only had it 2 months.

Thats really unlucky ive had mine for a year which no issues as such and i use it to run a plasma system so it does get a good workout. I assume you put oil in before you first turned it on etc? Because its weird the motor would go like that.. like i said probably just really bad luck.

Tell them to arrange collection or you'll involve trading standardsMotor burnt out now all it does is trip the breaker and short to the case. Only had it 2 months.

I have 2 X 50ltr ones which I coupled together and set them to both stop at 125 psi. If I dont want much air I close the valve to the second compressor and just use the first compressor. Now then if I am in need of more wind I open the valves and switch on the second compressor. Been working like that now for about 15 years.

May be too late for that, sounds like he's dismantled it already.

It had pretty much dismantled itself by the time I had a look at it. But correct, the compressor cost me 200 quid and they wanted 80 just to look at it so I decided to see if it was an easy fix for me to do. Motor windings were completely shot and there was oil leaking in to the motor.
I didnt think it was worth the effort and cost of returning it for the same thing to happen in 6 months time. I can use the tank off it and put the rest down to experience. Buy cheap, buy twice!
quite a few compressors here not so meany still work, ones serving the test of time are.
ingersol rand type 30 pumps good but the tank went bang, and old unkown 1.5 kw 2 stage thing from thr 70's good for tyers tho. main compressor is a twin pump clarke thing same as shown earlyer good compressor for singel phase and an igersol rand 130 cfm diesel
