is that the V twin model or the big belt drive one?
I should explain I am talking about compact models that all share the single cylinder design like aldi, michelin, sealey etc and come in 1.5, 2 and 2.5hp set ups.
I did pick up a 3hp 50L V twin from Lidl (£200) but it was too heavy to throw in the back of the car or move somewhere else so for the cost I decided to go for 2x 2.5hp and have a modular system. That way if one breaks I have redundancy.
As I use a large static tank for high flow needs I don’t really need to worry about the narrow pipes but that is a very good point and I agree for some people one of the 3hp ones might be a better option.
I have been offered a couple of 7hp twin screw compressors (one working, one for parts). They are 3 phase and 300kg each so nowhere to use or store them at the moment 🙁
