First I must say I am a large volume shooter in a gun club and I use lot of air.
So far about 65 hours total running time on my YH filling regularely two LARGE 14 liter scba's (these are probably the biggest fireman tanks?) and have a third 9 liter for "case of emergency".
I have rebuilt the YH couple times pretty much 3-4 hours of elbow greasing and back in the game.
Tinkering maybe to get a larger compressor, and put the YH on reserve.
My view is (after monitoring these compressor threads for a year or so) ... no matter how much $ to spend there is no idiotproof compressor on the horizon below two grand, and that is a question mark again for longevity.
Those battery powered toys with no oil and no cooling - don't even try to tell me your story, please.
I am well aware of that 3-4 times the cost over YH doesn't really mean that is 3-4 times better or a life expectancy is guaranteed... I can take Tuxing for example.
I am in Canada, if I buy a big machine I will probably maintain DIY, not gonna happen me feeding a shipping company for cross border sending for service...
Do we have known reviews from credible sources that such and such a Brand statistics shows more reliable ???

if I could find a good compressor block-head only? and hook up to a washing machine motor with a belt drive...
