Having a pre-charged air gun carries one major stumbling block: The required air source. That was, until I spotted this little compressor which appeared to be rather cost effective. So, it was ordered.It was delivered, well packed, safe and sound, in 3 days which was one day later than its estimated delivery date.The compressor operates from 12 volts DC. In order to allow it to operate from normal AC power, an industrial-style power supply is included along with the required cabling. The compressor has a small, analog pressure gauge and a slightly larger digital temperature gauge to help the user avoid over-heating.The AC power supply has no ON/OFF switch: Whenever its power cord is plugged in, it is ON. I plan to add a power switch. Or, possibly, use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R95FMS5I added an "F" in white below the compressor's fan switch to help remind me which switch was which. Other than a brand name, the compressor has almost no markings.I like that the compressor sits stable on a flat, stable surface and comes with a mating air hose. I have no PCP gun with which to test this compressor. But, a friend does. So, we got together and tested it. Now, he's thinking of getting a compressor like this one.

This PCP compressor appears very much the same as others sold under different names and for a similar price. My current PCP compressor, painted blue is identical to this one. Quality seems to be hit and miss with these compressors, but if they fail or have problems, it seems to be early on and you have a chance to return it. This compressor claims a 1 year warranty.I have a Benjamin Kratos that has a huge 480 cc reservoir. This is double the capacity of many PCP rifles. This compressor filled the 480cc bottle from 1000psi to 3000psi in 9 minutes and 45 seconds. It took less than 4 minutes to from 1000psi to 2000psi. The higher the pressure, the more time to fill. The temperature was 51 Celsius when it reached the 3000 psi max pressure for my rifle.I also have a 3 liter 4500 psi bottle. I don't have the times on filling that. I fill it in stages, 30 minutes at a time to give the compressor a break. Needless to say. it's a long time to fill the large bottle. Temperatures never got near the 80 degree Celsius maximum. I'm sure I could run it in longer intervals. It's just my regimen.It's noisy. They all are. The fan is louder than the compressor. It's not quite hearing protection level, but it's getting close. The pump runs on DC. There are jumpers to connect to a car battery. The amperage is too high to plug into a car's 12v power outlet (cigarette lighter). There is an AC to DC converter included to plug into 110/220 outlet (select voltage with a switch on the side). It is a bit crude but this is typical. The wiring gauge seems a bit light but the wiring never gets hot or even warm during use.It is to be expected at this price that there is no auto off. There is no setpoint for pressure. It will run until it blows a safety valve. It must be monitored. Same for the temperature. There is no overheat protection. If it's not monitored and gets hot, it will run itself to death or a short life. If the temperature nears the 80 degree Celsius maximum, it must be manually turned off. The air hose never got warm or hot. Only the coupler at the machine warmed slightly during use.The pressure and temperature gauge are backwards to the user end of the machine. Certainly you'll have the switches and air hose towards you when you use it, but the 2 indicators are oriented the opposite direction, leaving you to read them upside down. The pressure gauge is very small and not easy to read. Measurements are approximate in 2 MPa increments (290 psi). It's not a very detailed gauge. When my rifle reached the max 3000psi as indicated on the rifle's gauge, the machines gauge was reading about 19.8 MPa (2870psi). Not exact but somewhat close.So far the machine is as I expected, and there has been no problems or issues with it.
