Best Air Compressors
Absolute beast.. really happy with performance. Good value. Totally recommend it Show details
Great tool for in the car, and around the house – Easy to use, handles large tyres and small soccer balls with ease. tested the gauge pressure against and calibrated gauge and it is spot on. Makes… Read more
such a laborious task much more pleasant and even my 3 year old can figure out. Take it in the Car for the 4x4 when camping
Ideal for push bike and motorcycle. Works for car & caravan – I use this for my motorcycle which often needs just another 5 psi before a ride without having to set up my air compressor. I take it with me on a… Read more
tour and check my tyres each day before heading off. I just crossed Australia and used it for my car and caravan tyres, though it’s a bit slower for them, but never overheated. Didn’t need a recharge in two months. Gives the exact same pressure readings as two different tyre pressure readers. Love it & only AU$40.
Not serviceable/ no parts – It was a good compressor and worked well for 18 months; nice and quiet. After around 18 months, it stopped being able to keep up and kept running out… Read more
of air. Opened it to find three of the four reed valves broken in the compressor head. I have no issue with that as it "should be a serviceable item " (my 30-year-old compressor needed new valves every 4-5 years). I called and emailed AEG; apparently, you can't get replacement valves, and I would need to replace both compressor assemblies. (motor, pistons head and all)
A beautiful budget priced 5 1/2 cfm air compressor. I've had my BlackRidge for 11 years and it keeps going and going. Today is my last day I've used… Read more
it and I've purchased a new ITM 12 cfm unit. Not sure what the new units are like but mine was outstanding.
Have only used it once. It pumps fine but the digital reading was very wrong, i ended up with nearly 60psi in the tyres even though the gauge read… Read more
33 psi. I will need to take it back when i get a chance at it defeats the purpose of paying extra to have the digital cut off setting.
It started pumping quickly then the digital read out slowed a lot which i thought was strange it was struggling, but it turned out to be pumping fine just reading the pressure wrong and didn't cut out
Top Unit – My workshop has never been so clean. This unit was by far the best Christmas present my kids could have got me - I use it constantly and the air… Read more
tools are so cheap. It's a little noisy but you expect that from a compressor. Very versatile unit and just the right size for me
AN EASY TO USE TYRE COMPRESSOR - FERREX MINI COMPRESSOR – Tried out the Ferrex Mini Compressor today. Bought it at Aldi for $79.99 on 23/10/2023. Used it on an old wheelbarrow tyre. Set the pressure for… Read more
20psi, then 25, then 26. Switched on and pumped up. Checked the tyre pressure with a stick tyre gauge. As I often accidentally let air out when putting the stick on to measure pressure, I had to repeat the processes several times. The gauge appears to be accurate as can be seen in the 2 photos showing the compressor and then the stick. I’ll check against car tyre pressures when in town next. Will be useful for my car and van tyres. PROS: easy to use (and easier than another compressor I have) appears to be accurate can set required tyre pressure all cords and adaptors are held in compartments on the machine cables and hose are long enough compact fair price easy to read digital screen light weight at 1.0 kg 3 year warranty C0NS: can’t think of any.
At this stage I highly recommend it. 5 stars.
Great air compressor – Pump supports upto 150psi pressure and has multiple nozzles to basically fill up anything object in your household. It has rechargeable battery. I… Read more
use it for my big SUV and it does fill up those big 20” tyres quite quickly. So performance is great and it’s really quite compact and can fit in your backpack or car drawer storage easily.
Great value mini air compressor for inflating 4wd tires – For a trip to the Eyre Peninsula that was going to include some off-roading I wanted to buy an air compressor so I could properly deflate and inflate… Read more
the tires of our off-road vehicle (Mitsubishi Pajero Sport). After having searched the internet for a bit and having read a number of reviews I decided to buy the Lincoln BA140 compressor predominantly because: 1) it pumps out 140l/min which I understand is the minimum you need for large 4wd tires if you don’t want to wait for 15 min per tire and 2) it is very reasonably priced. After a number of off road trips I am pretty happy with this pump. It has no issues at all inflating 4 proper 4wd tires in one go in a matter of minutes without any sign of struggling or overheating. The compressor comes with a number of attachments for pumping up bike tires and soccer balls etc. as well should you need it.
The only (minor) downside is the quality of the bag it comes in is not great, after having used it twice the zipper broke...... not really a big deal though as I will be buying a small toolbox to put the compressor and all its attachments in.
Overall a great mini compressor that is awesome value (competing brands cost typically well over $130) and does exactly what it needs to do.
There are several airbrush compressors on the online market place. the Ozito 3L 105W Airbrush & Mini Compressor Kit MACK-300, at Bunnings, is the… Read more
best choice by far. Pricing: - equivalent to those on major market places. Performance: excellent! Value: Three year warranty. Forget the airbriush accessories included (buy a decent aitbrish separately), as the true value is in a compressor with a tank that performs brilliantly. Why buy on line from dropship market places, when you can receive the best warranty with local support in the industry, for a great product. Totally recommend!
Compact and powerful – Great little compressor. Compact enough to fit in my under tray box. Took a bit to wire it up but not impossible, I made it harder on myself by… Read more
where I wanted my switch. Quick to pressure up and inflates tyres no problems. Easy to do Ute and caravan all in a few minutes ready to go. Has the ability be wired into dif lockers if you wish. The wiring harness is comprehensive ( except the power harness) it includes the fuse and switch, I made my own power harness as it comes with a spare Deutsche plug. You will need to purchase all the air connectors. I give it a 9/10 if there were some air connectors in the kit I would have gone 10/10 but we are getting a bit precious just go buy some they are not expensive.
High reliability at a low cost – We live on small acreage and have an Envirocycle septic system which relies on an aerator and a pump. We have tried around four types of pumps with… Read more
the Hailea HAP-80 being a winner on four counts thus 5 stars. Pricing is excellent but need to shop around. New diaphragms are cheap and easily available which a handyman could fit as they are easy to replace. Warranty is one year with ours just starting to fail now but it has been well over two years so warranty is excelled. So if one has new diaphragms on hand the pump could be back in action within an hour. This pump uses 60 watts of power which is reasonable considering many other pumps use much more wattage to run. We have tried the name brand pumps that have failed in less than two years (It is always the diaphragms breaking) with the diaphragms costing a mint compared to the Hailea HAP-80 diaphragms. So for us it is a win- win on all counts using the Hailea HAP-80. When the diaphragms fail the pump overheats and cuts out and/or trips the safety switch on the switchboard. It will restart later but will simply cut out after a period and this is worse in summer. I am retired from Engineering with Electrical Qualifications and the last thing I want to do is constant repairs on vital equipment. Hint, we have two Hailea HAP-80 pumps so that when one starts to fail we can easily install the second one thus keeping system working and no pressure to put new diaphragms strait away into the failing pump.

I.found it works very good and it is so compact and you don’t need much room for it.
The Verdict: This pump works great for emergencies as described. It is incredibly compact and easy to use, making it a perfect "just in case" tool to… Read more
carry on your bike. However, after using it for a while, I’ve realized its limits and would likely upgrade to the Auxbeam BL05 High-Performance model for my next purchase.
Why it’s great for emergencies: Ultra-Portable: It fits anywhere and takes up almost no space in a bag. Effective for Single Flats: I was able to inflate two tires from flat to 40 PSI on a single charge, which is exactly what you need to get back on the road. User-Friendly: The dual-valve system is simple and the display is clear.
Why I’d upgrade to the BL05 next time: Heat Management: This compact version gets hot quickly during operation. While it gets the job done, the upgraded motor in the BL05 is better suited for frequent use.
Battery Ceiling: While two tires are enough for a roadside fix, the 1000mAh battery doesn't leave much "buffer." The 1500mAh battery in the BL05 would offer more peace of mind for longer trips or multiple uses.
The Black Rat is no white mouse – G’day, So I purchased the Black Rat twin air compressor out of need for a 12v air compressor that was rated to operate at 150psi. With so many… Read more
brands and types available I chose this particular one because of great value, compact size, high performance claim and its very handy carry bag.
I certainly wasn’t disappointed by my purchase, as you’ll see in the attached video.
The Black Rat is nice and light, it weighs next to nothing. Sitting it on the the front of my (running) engine, the rubber feet on the compressor provide great stability and there’s virtually no vibration from the compressor while operating.
To put it to the ultimate test, I ran it right up to its 150psi claim, in order to allow the air suspension to rise majestically in my Range Rover (Unfortunately I had a failed factory air compressor in my 4wd on the first day of a 3 week remote 4wd trip which made the purchase of the Black Rat a necessity rather than a luxury). The Black Rat not only performed flawlessly, it also pumped my 10 litre air tank up very quickly. Impressed, indeed!
The unit does get hot, along with the air hose (provided) after sustained use, however, it does cool down rather quickly.
Do I have any gripes? Yes.
The nitto fitting from the air compressor is a male connection. This isn’t a fault or defect, I presume they’ve made it this way to prevent people using other hoses on the compressor. Traditionally the fitting from a compressor is a female. This was no major problem, as much as just a pain.
I also dislike the connection (the part that you attach to the valve on your tyres). The screw-on nature means you lose air when connecting and disconnecting the air hose to whatever you are inflating.
This aside, I believe it to be great value and an outstanding performer. Definitely worth the outlay if you’re into 4wding and regularly inflate/deflate your tyres, or require the available 150psi.
4 stars out of 5.
Hooroo
Great air pump at a reasonable price – Purchased this Ozito air pump to inflate the pool toys Very impressive Inflated all of the pool toys in no time quicker and a lot easier than the manual pump Purchased at Bunnings Great value for $19.99 Highly recommend
Cheap and nasty – Purchased one of these units late 2020, motor failed after about 18 months of light moderate use at home for small projects. Another cheap Chinese piece of rubbish that needs to be taken to the tip. Show details
I have a Antilia 190L/Min, 50L air compressor model AN2550CH-1, purchased from Repco. From day one it would not run smoothly/freely. I adjusted the… Read more
belt to loosen the tension, which alleviated the problem, however it still run rough and under strain. I took the head off and inspected the cylinders, which seemed to move correctly. Yesterday when I started up the compressor, it seized after running for about a minute. It was apparent that the flywheel on the motor was stuck as when I turned this it would kick over but then freeze again. The main issue I have is that when I approached Repco for assistance they said that there was no local support for the product or availability of spare parts. The unit they said was sourced out of China and that was it. This did not bide well for buying any tools or equipment from Repco ever again as they do not, to my mind, stand behind any equipment they might sell. The customer assistance was basically p*ss poor.
damaged – Bought this compressor a couple of months ago, and upon opening it up, the wheel bracket was bent straight out of the box. and now has rust. I've had to return the same compressor twice, giving the product a chance.
Portable air, but not for the bush – This portable air compressor is quite robust and appears well built at first sight. It is rated at a maximum of 200 litres (air) per minute but my… Read more
unit struggled to get anywhere near that figure, in fact it struggled to blow up a partly flat tyre on a small car. The unit comes with a nice orange coiled air hose which is a little on the short side when you try to extend it. The hose creased too easily for any heavy handed use and the plastic end fitting cracked and came off after a few uses. The brass alloy head attachment is of ordinary quality aa is the plastic seal within it ( you would expect to see a rubber o ring) the other accessories are run of the mill fittings. The instruction sheet which came with it made no mention of how to use the deflation valve and its settings. After a bit of tinkering it now works OK but I would not trust it in the middle of the bush.

UPDATE — within 4mths of writing the below review, the Sherpa compressor died completely. Absolute waste of money. Have put in an ARB twin. The… Read more
ARB is also much quieter.
I've had this Sherpa compressor for 3yrs, permanently mounted in the rear of a troopcarrier. It doesn't get used excessively & it's done the job until recently. About 1 week ago I turned it on but the motor was not turning the compressor, no air was being produced. On the advice of the manufacturer (out of warranty) I took it out of the 4x4 & dismantled it. What I found was poor design & very poor workmanship. 1) The drive shaft from the motor is attached to the compressor piston con-rod & held in place with a small allen-key grub screw. This screw had come loose due to it having no locking mechanism or loctite applied to the thread & so the motor shaft was just spinning without driving the piston. 2) While dismantling the compressor most of the smaller wiring end connectors fell off. The ends of the wires had only been bared back about 3mm & the connectors had not been crimped onto the ends of the wires correctly. I had to fit new ends to 6 out of 8 wire ends. 3) The pressure gauge is faulty. When there is no pressure the needle is about half way around the dial. This doesn't bother me as I don't rely on / use that gauge, but it's been like that from new. Poor quality. 4) The pressure cut-off switch is faulty. Sometimes the compressor will turn off when it reaches pressure but most of the time it'll just keep running & then eventually it stops. On a few occasions I've actually had to switch it off.
I bought this Sherpa compressor because I wanted something that was faster pumping up tires than my old ARB unit. But really, I wish I'd kept the ARB. It was 13yrs old & had never missed a beat. And it's still going strong for the guy who bought it from me.

my tyre. I returned it to the store and was told that they would have to send it to their repair depot to have it checked. After months of being stuffed around, they finally gave me a new which I picked up from my nearest store. Over the next 12 months I used it maybe 6 to 8 times and this one developed the same problem. Leaks air, and gives a false reading. It's now in the rubbish
I bought the Iron Air, 2.5 horse power 60 Litre air compressor mid 2024. It ran fine for 6 months. It has blown 2 hoses in December which have been… Read more
replaced at my cost, not under warranty.
Bad alignment and kinks on new hoses, no real quality with them. 3 hydraulic hose suppliers cannot make the hoses as they have odd fittings and no one carried them.
I ordered them from supplier at over $50 each and fitted them. Now the non adjustable electric pressure switch does not switch off below 150psi. Now the pressure relief valve is relieving pressure at 150psi, the motor runs non stop until the circuit breaker pops.
I’m just buying another brand compressor now. Don’t waste your money or time. Iron Air is a low quality brand. At $800 for a 60L compressor I wanted at least 4 years or more.
3 failures in 6 months is a joke. I do not recommend.
Difficult to get the inflator onto the valve, then it leaks air until the second inflator is placed on the other wheel, non-adjustable pressure so… Read more
you can't just walk away and let it pump to a preset selection, you have to pump it way past your intended pressure, I had to pump it to 45 PSI then drop my tyres back to 32 on my wife's car, if I have known that before purchase I would have bought the Big Red unit,
