The new compressor

Here is the no name compressor and power supply $264.

Delivered from China, took about 2 weeks. 12 volt so good for field.

That is the packing in the back ground.
 
Looks just like my Hatsan Spark. Hope it works as good a my Spark has been working for me.

It basically is the hatsan spark. But Chinese manufacturer don't have QC, that's why they can sell them for cheap. Hatsan and air Venturi have to have their compressor go through testing and QC to be safe for use. That's why they changed a higher price. You either go cheap and taking the risk. Or pay a higher price for a better unit. Plus hatsan and av compressor comes with 1 year warranty. I doubt these chinese compressor have a 1 year warranty.
 
I've had mine for two weeks now.I use it to top off my Condor 1800 to 3000, 480cc tank.

The gentleman selling them in China comes across as concerned and honest. When mine got held up in shipping he offered to send another.

Somewhere on the forum are pictures of this unit with the cover off and at a different thread there are pictures of the Spark with the cover off.

I'll leave it up to you to compare.

Power supply works and the filters catch the moisture.

Very small compressor.

It’s the same compressor as the ones with someone’s name on a sticker on it. Same factory, same QC. Just not paying the middle man an unreasonable profit margin. I don’t mind a profit, but don’t make your monthly payments on my purchase. Mine wouldn’t make pressure, sent Kevin an email and he was ready to refund me right now, next morning I checked and tightened fittings and it’s purring along nicely. You’re gonna love it!
 
Does anyone have any tips/info on how often the little foam and moisture filters should be changed out?

I dont have this compressor but I have the Yong Heng. I use it to fill my rifles directly. I will replace the filter element in the original small black filter after about 3 fills which is approx. 5 minutes of total run time. When the filter element is take out, it is slightly wet. It can then be put aside to dry out by itself and reused the next time. With Yong Heng which pumps out significant amount of oil, the filter element need be tossed after it has soaked up too much oil. This should not happen when used with the oil-free compressor in this post so I would expect the filter elements to be reused many times. It this sense, the compressor is more environment friendly. 
 
I agree with airgunfans,

The foam filters soak up water, just squeeze them out and let dry and reuse. There is no oil discharge from these oilless compressors. I did stack the larger foam discs in the large filter housing to stop the small filter cartridge from coming out in side the housing. The small cartridge does show signs of a black substance, probably the seals breaking in.
