The Coltri MCH-6 is now dead and the new version is called Icon LSE

Nice find, Chickenthief. In addition to the lower price, they have reduced the weight of these to 83 lbs. That weight reduction means they can be shipped by UPS and FEDEX Home Delivery in the U.S. it will be interesting to see what the prices are going to be at U.S. dealers. These new Coltri models could be game changers for people seeking an affordable, reliable dive quality compressor that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

FedEx maximum weight for home delivery is 70 lbs. The compressor weighs 83 plus another 30 lbs for shipping materials, I don’t think home delivery is gonna happen.

UPS delivered my Daystate2 (A.K.A. MCH-6) to my door.
 
Oh, and what's the difference, other than price, between the MCH6 at the scubastore and Nuvair?


From the videos i have seen the Nuvair is a MCH-6 rebadged, Daystate 2 is a MCH-6 but lacks the filterstack, just the moisture trap.

The MCH-6 that I got from Nuvair was not "rebadged". It was a standard Coltri MCH-6, configured by Nuvair for airgun/paintball use, with the standard Coltri MCH-6 name plate.

All the Daystate 2 compressors that I have seen have the filterstack and moisture trap. The Daystate 110 (based on Coltri MCH-3) does not show the filter stack.
 
Nuvair put their logo sticker on my Coltri MCH-6 because I had them change some specifications on it. It was no longer an MCH-6, exactly as sold by Coltri.

They lied (for now)!

Mine is the new black but still have the old MCH-6 sticker.

Works as advertised so im happy as a pig in mud :)


In the past, blue was the standard color but black was available for special orders. Current models appear to be black as standard color and blue is now by special order. As far as I know, Daystate versions were always black.
 
Just watched a video on the Coltri Icon 100 LSE uploaded to YouTube a few months ago. This thing looks amazing!! It has 4 stages. I’m curious as to how it functions over the course of a few years. The animated video is very well put together showing the components in motion and it assembles the unit as it goes through the various parts and mechanics of the compressor. There’s even a kit you can purchase that will pump breathable air into a “closed environment with very little ventilation.” Looks like it’ll be a contender once it reaches the U.S. The info provided in the Youtube description is for a company selling them in the UK. Here’s a link to the video. It has an approximate 5 minute run time.

The latest release and rebadging of their MCH-6 series which has been available for many years. The MCH-6 has always had 4 stages.

“The ICON LSE series are the world’s most widely used portable compressors…. and are equipped with the MCH 6 pumping unit….”
 
@Scotchmo I don’t recall the four-stage aspect. Have you seen the Icon available in the States? When I purchased a compressor I stopped looking at the specs of others.
The Icon 50 has a 3 stage (MCH-3) pump:

The Icon 100 has a 4 stage (MCH-6) pump:

Icon 50 and Daystate LC110 = MCH-3
Icon 100 and Daystate T2 = MCH-6
