Considering its price, this was a surprising product. It works perfectly, and while loud, was quieter than I was expecting. The meters seem accurate, and the quick release fittings are of good quality. My only complaint is the plastic handle. Quite frankly, it feels very flaky and if anything will break on this unit, it will be this. The wheels and feet need fitting by you, but anyone who has a need for an air compressor will obviously not find this a problem. The manual is good, if not amazing. The protection plugs fitted to the oil filler and air intake need removing on arrival, and they are a complete pain to get out. You need quality pliers. To NOT try to pry them out... it won't work, so save yourself some aggro and just use decent pliers. Valve cut off cuts in slightly early, but rather that than too late. Only one output is regulated. This is common on such a unit, but the ad, or website doesn't make this clear. The way it is packaged makes the plastic surround susceptible to damage, and mine arrives with a slight crack. It doesn't affect anything, and personally I was not bothered, but you should check for damage on arrival. Tank certification plate showed 2021 manufacture date. Drain plug is located bottom dead centre where it should be unlike its main competitor (the yellow one named after a wild canine ;)). Off centre ones are useless for moisture drainage, and you should remove all moisture after every use to prevent corrosion. All in all, it is well worth the money. It just about managed to run my blast cabinet at 50psi with a 5mm nozzle, which is a worst use case scenario for a compressor of this size and price, and it has MORE than enough CFM for paint spraying and air tools. Recommended if you are on a budget. Read full review

When recently looking for a 50 litre compressor I chose SGS for the advert description seemed to suggest that it was. British assembled in own workshop and referral to German standard safety, etc., but all I got was a box securely strapped closed with clear labelling made in PRC (China) which has obviously been bought in bulk and only distributed. Product bog standard compressor but with weak plastic handles surrounding which are definitely sub standard to the Wolf compressor we already have on the farm. Compressor works fine so far (month old) but consistent handling will definitely see the week plastic handles fall apart.

good quality,except for the handle which seems flimsy,and is not really up to the job of moving what is quite a heavy compressor.Apart from that,the compressor itself seems to be of good quality,and well made.A nice touch is a "proper" car type air filter element,rather then the bit of wiry type foam used in my previous compressor.Overall,I am pleased with it,and would recomend

Having destroyed my little clarke one I thought it time to invest in something bigger. The SGS one was the best priced for the size (didnt want 2nd hand as it can be more hassle than its worth). The only issue thats worth taking into account if you need it up and running asap is that it drops all its oil in the packaging so you will need some more. It would be great if SGS also added some for you but they dont. It comes with the euro connectors not the pcl ones (again it would be great if they offered a choice!) As for running and amount of water in the system, its really good and hasnt done a thing wrong yet. Worth buying one if your in the market for a good compressor but dont want to spend a fortune!

***update 4 years on*** Compressor is still working well, I did knock the plastic air filter off but it's had a few rough days so can't complain. Definitely still agree that it'd stand light workshop use, it's been set at 115psi for the last 3+ years and I have changed the crankcase oil twice in this time and that's the only maintenance (aside from draining moisture) that it's had or needed.***end*** Great value and nicely built compressor with good output, would easily stand light workshop use even at a purely DIY price level. very impressed indeed and would definitely recommend.
