Unfortunately, not as described

Quality features and build at a really low cost.
1 of 1 found this helpful When I bought a 1.5kW inverter for 49 quid I really didn't believe it would be any good, but I was quite wrong. On the outside, yes it's a cheap looking moulded case but the inverter has some great features. programming it is very simple and similar to most inverters. You select a parameter, change it, and save the changes. I am running it off UK single phase mains and it is driving a 1.1kW 3 phase 220V motor in delta. Control is very smooth, with sine wave PWM. accel and decel can be set over a wide range and torque compensation for low speed running has a big range. I like the fact that many of the parameters allow setting where they happen and how much. For instance, believe it or not it has DC injection braking, but more than just setting the amount of braking you can set how long it is applied, etc. Controlling the thing is very easy, either from the irremovable keypad, or through a conventional relay latching stop start circuit. When the FWD input is connected to the units +12V output, it accelerates to the preset speed, via pot or up and down arrow keys. It stays at set speed until 12V is removed from the FWD input when it then decelerates and brakes if you are using DC braking. If you want to pay twice the price for the same inverter sold by another company and in a different box, you can get an RS232 output and terminals for a braking resistor. I'm happy with this one!

Buy it. Super quality, works perfectly and was really low cost.

It's a really nice little compressor, solidly built and very good quality. If you are worried about noise but need a small to moderate amount of compressed air then this is perfect. Note - it is NOT silent. 67dB was never going to be silent. The really quiet compressors that sound like a domestic refridgerator are like 10 times the cost of this thing though. Subjectively, the noise is half way between the moisy standard compressors and the silent refridgerator typed. It is not bad at all, I would happily use it indoors and know the neighbours are not going to be bothered by it. Incidentally, I tested it with a sound presure level meter, and it read within 1dBA of the advertised claims.
The build quality is good. I could easily have been convinced it was one of the many Italian compressors, it does not seem Chinese at all. The quality of just about all of the ancillary equipment is good. One very good point - it is extremely good at holding air, dropping less than 0.5 bar overnight, even with the inline tap turned on so the Euro style quick release connector is pressurized too. And one bad point - the normal compressor control unit red up/down on-off switch is very very stiff. It takes two hands and most of my strength to turn it off, albeit it is mounted with the switch just above eye height. I'd be interested to hear if the supplier thinks this is normal or if I have had bad luck and have a bad control unit.
The motor cuts in when the tank pressure drops below 6 bar and cuts out at just under 8 bar. The manual hints at a screw to adjust it, but also tells you not too adjust it!. Most people should be happy with the factory seeting anyway.
Don't forget the extra bits and pieces you will need, they can add up to a significant cost. You really must use a water trap. These traps have a glass bowl that traps water from the compressed air so you can periodically empty with a quick push on the nozzle. It has a pressure regulator, a pressure gauge, and input and output ports. These are usually female threaded 1/4" BSP holes. Some come with one male and one female quick release connectors. You will also need to plumb the compressor to the trap, and the trap to an outlet (usually a quick release coupling). Make sure the trap is solidly mounted as you will be connecting airlines into it with a reasonable amount of push. When you get the various connector parts, give thought to a couple of things. Firstly, not much new equipment is still using the old quick fot connectors, mosat now use Euro quick connect system, at least in Europe they do. Secondly, think about plumbing a 1-to-2 Y adapter on the output so you have two female Euro quick connectores ready to be used. It can be very useful to be able to easily plug in more than one piece of equipment.
Anyway, great bit of kit, you won't find better value.
