Yong Heng unbranded help.....

- Start date
you want a high volume vendor .. if they have a small store and low sales youll get burned with an old or returned one 'more often' .lets say ..somebody that moves a ton of freight has new ones .. so bargain hunting for the lowest possible buck will get you fried if you arnt looking at the other factors ..more or less ... on alot of th8ngs ..

Look at the unit. Virtually all have two stages as one can't do the compression needed.
Several of our members bought Yong Heng and Tuxing units. Both seem to do about as well as the other. I have the Yong Heng, and it works.
Not to say I haven't had problems over the 3 years owning it. Broken piston, blown dowdy seals, leaks galore I've had to track down (Knock on wood, working at the moment)
If you are looking for a YH (tuxings are different, but have had good reports). Look for

- the name painted on the side.
- 3 air pipes on the front of the compressor. Two vertical and one horizontal. Some units don't have all 3. I don't know if that is a better design or not, but the traditional unit I have used 3 pipes on the front.
- As Dizzums said, higher volume vendor.
- Look at where it ships from. If China, you'll wait. If somewhere in the US, it'll come a lot faster and probably been inspected for obvious shipping damage. My first compress was mangled before shipping and had to be sent back.

If a high volume dealer is $20 more than someone with 5 feedbacks, spend the extra $20. It does not guarantee a better experience, but in my experience sure improves the odds of a good experience.
I highly recommend the YH compressors, my experience is that when they work, they work very well. In my case, yes there are scuba shops in Salt Lake but at $15 to 30 per fill, doesn't take long to justify the compressor. Very happy I have one.

You want a compressor built like the Yong Heng then buy a Yong Heng not some unbranded unit hoping it is like the Yong Heng that just doesn't make any sense.
