Draper 31254 Belt-Driven Air Compressor, 100L, 230V 2.2KW, 3HP

I used to have a cheap 'Fu-Yuk' brand belt-drive 50 litre compressor which had a habit of tripping the electrics and was only good for inflating tyres so decided on the Draper 100 litre. Was impressed by the overall build quality and relative quietness compared to previous smaller compressors. So long as you DONT use an extension lead, it will run quite happily from a standard 13amp socket via standard B curve 16amp MCB in your consumer unit (assuming your house/garage wiring is working properly).I'll be using mine for paint spraying, grit blasting, running air tools such as die-grinder etc.

Got a belt driven one because they are quite... And it is.... Great

bought this compressor for home and its a fantastic piece of kit, its easy to move about and its quieter then my previous one.

Instructions are very poor it asks you to put oil in before you fire it up, it very hard to see the oil level so you just do as it says ended up with a right mess on my bedroom floor

I needed a larger capacity compressor and one a bit quieter. I was going for the Hyundai 100l but the cost is almost £200 more than this one?Took a chance on it and pleasantly impressed. I expect most compressors are made in the same Chinese factories with different badges this one seems to be better than most.Turned up early on a pallet, well packaged in sturdy box.Beware it's a heavy unit but once you get the wheels and handle on it's fine to move.It's quieter than a direct drive unit but not that much more, but without the machine gun rat tat tat of direct drive.So far it's been great and not having the motor come on every 2 mins is even better, go large everytime!I just wish they would stop supplying them with euro connectors, I swapped to PCL ones straight away which are just so much better.
