Good. Fast. Cheap.

I saw this image when reading a non-airgun story. It seems extremely relevant when it comes to HPA compressors.

Where does your compressor fit? My Shoebox F10 is clearly in the Good ~ Slow ~ Cheap region!

I can not remember the original. Fast, quality, low overhead . You can only pick 2. It showed up in manufacturing at my employer a while back. I hope the new one coming is just good. Im ok with slow. Its a little cheap.

My shoebox f10 is far superior to my nomad II which cost more and fills slower.

Good + fast = $1500 at the very least (closer to $2k nearing the norm).
Good + cheap = Shoebox or Altaros Booster (they arent fast but true workers without issues!)
Cheap + fast = the rest of the lot not holding up in any way shape or form at all over time!

My Omega Personal Charger was $900 out the door six years ago. 60 machine hours later, she is still Slow, Cheap and Good. Fills tanks all day long like a boss.

my F10 gets a workout each fall, winter, spring seasons...finally Low Humidity sometimes.
i also have its older brother the Max. on standby. GOOD-CHEAP

as for china made, i have 2......the Xisico CX3 and a blue vevor 12v portable
they are holding on very well this long summer with 100% humidity. CHEAP-FAST

all being filtered by a toauto oil/water spiral separator.

 

[Shoebox]

I have a Shoebox 4500 that is leaking. I don’t have a manual or parts. Does anyone know where I could get it repaired or find parts/instructions?
