Re: Air Compressors

Does anyone recommend any air compressors around the £90 mark please?
24L will be fine. It's going to be mainly used for dust blowing and cleaning embroidery machinery. The dust we get from fabric is unreal and the machines need the dust blowing from the front panels etc..too fiddly for brushes etc..

looking at this kind of thing:

Best to spend the extra £20 and get one from your local Screwfix or Toolstation - easy to return if there is a guarantee problem.
There is not a lot of difference in basic compressors, so for general blowing they will all do the job. The only time that quality is important is when you need a 'dry' air compressor for operating expensive screen printing equipment, or maybe heatpresses.

Wouldn't you want a vacuum rather than a blower? Little Henry will help you out.

Agree with [MENTION=6065]pw66[/MENTION] in this particular case. Better to splash out a bit extra (from a local supplier) and have access to warranty if a problem would arise with the compressor.
