Personal compressor advice

[ellisfitler]

Hi all , I am in the market for a compressor , I am looking at 2 diffrent types Maxair 35 and AireTex 45 aka Alkin W31 . If anyone has any experince with either one of these, a bit of advice would be appreciated .Thank you Ellis

I have known a few people who had purchased a Maxair aka Coltri. Based on their personal experience I would not purchase one. I would continue to research and maybe research Bauer. I think it is better to pay more up front. There is ample information on the internet discussing the pro's and cons of both... Sorry I have no experience with the Alkin.

Cheers,
Roger

Go RIX, much cheaper to operate.

I've got two Bauers a K-14 is my stationary comp. been running flawles for 25 years. Portable is a Capatono 6 years no problems. I don't like the small RIX oileless compressors they vibrate and are noisey. I would never have anything other than Bauer.

Had a Bauer Capitano for years. Wore out and replaced the Honda engine, but the compressor (with another owner) is still going strong. It is an excellent compressor, and would be my choice in a portable.
