Hi Tony

Is it a 240 volt or 12 volt job?

Tony,
The problem with all those Chinese compressors is that you never know when they will fail.. Some guys on here will tell you they have had a terrific run out of their $100 unit but I bet there are plenty that have died prematurely ( the compressor that is!!). Some of the cheaper units claim big airflow rates, some probably achieve them but most wont. I personally think its better to buy a Big Red or ARB or Blue Tongue, these are reliable units and will be lower performance specifications than some of the cheaper units but will wear out slowly over the longer term rather than failing when you need it most!! I have a big red compressor, about $300, made in the USA and had it a couple of years and have complete faith in it.. I cant say I would have that faith in a cheaper compressor. regards Michael

I have a similar unit with twin cylinders - I would never bother with single cylinder.

It runs very cool.
