    I'm not an expert, but I have used this for home used for about 2 months now. Not really a long term review, but its not broken yet. There is quite a bit of condensation that does come out of it, even when using the "moisture separator". I usually fill a tank up to about 4k and let it cool for 20 minutes before filling another.

    Hope that helps you out.

      Yeah that's the cheaper one theres also a version with auto shut off. You should run a dryer but it's not completely necessary. We fill 2 scubas each time we play and take those out to the field to fill off of. Takes maybe 25 minutes to fill a scuba. I run a Facebook group called yong heng compressor owners group. Lots of good info in there. They are very common with the air gun guys.

          I'm still looking at the UmareX or the Benjamin Traveler 2. More expensive but self contained and they seem to be well reviewed.

            Now what are some good dryers / moisture removing pieces that can be paired with these cheap compressors?

              You run the intake through a PVC pipe filled with reusable desiccant. Then you run a larger output filter with cotton filters and charcoal. The output filters can be purchased on sites like alibaba/aliexpress, they must be rated for high pressure. The input filter doesn't have to hold pressure so it can be homemade simply.

                I have been looking deeper in to this myself. I ended up with one of the msc-6 compressors with a blown motor. have a new motor to replace it, but of course its a 3 phase motor so that is fun.


                I loved my shoebox, i just ended up fighting the bushing support rod. probably just an alignment thing. If anyone is interested in an f10 shoebox id be willing to let it go.
