Umarex ReadyAir Compressor

[@lefthandedluke]

MSRP for the new Umarex Oilless ReadyAir Air Gun Compressor is $549.99 US Dollars or £800 plus here in the UK. Any one else feel we are being ripped off ?

[@cblack1green]

We are not called rip off Britain for nothing.

[@russellham2094]

No more than usual 😮

[@richardlewis7214]

$549.99 is £433.04 in UK.

[@lefthandedluke]

@richardlewis7214 Just over half of what we pay here, it would be great if you know anyone going stateside who could bring one back ..

[@fiddy_watchguy]

That's cheaper than I thought. I thought they were about $800 - US. Considering I just paid nearly $300 for a ToAuto A2, I would've forked out another $250 for this. I'm only really filling a couple of very small tubes these days 6:08 . I use my springers more 😂

[@jampots1202]

I would love to see these compressors tested to see how much moisture get through it maybe a case for project Farm ( the best tester of all types of equipment on KZbin)

[@Festivejelly]

I still use my handpump. Great workout lol. I dont have to fill my tanks that often so i'll stick with that. Its a bit pricey for me.

[@familyhelpdeskhelpdesk270]

The nomad 2 and its BSA close cousin do the same job, are more compact and are cheaper. They both look a lot better. Both also come with a filter with activated charcoal and a dessicant that is easy enough to change when needed. I added a separate pressure gauge with a nice large face for £16 and and a large filter (£22) just to be sure the air going into my guns is clean and dry.

[@Curtis.Carpenter]

wow ... moist air not good enough for you ?! trying to keep your devices in good shape??? pffftt... nerd. 🤣🤣🤣 😆 jk. thanks for the advice 👍🏻

[@558vulcanxh]

Hello, thanks for your advice, removing the moisture in the air is a major requirement for me and of course the health of your PCPs , vital 😊

[@Terryhaslet]

Nice. Was that a Fast Show reference? Jazz. Nice. Anyway. Great review. The activated is intriguing as any engineer or chemist will tell you these remove hydrocarbons and not moisture. So oil etc. If it’s moisture removal then that is usually 3A molecular sieves. See Hill MK5 cartridge etc. Have a good weekend everyone. 👍

[@richwilson9517]

Thanks!

[@paulspeller968]

only thing that concerns me about theses compressors is the moisture content going into the gun did not really see much filtration there , only the charcoal filter . not saying it’s an issue because your not running it for extended periods of time for moisture to build but still i would like to see a little better filtration added in the package

[@rmurton130456]

At that price I would consider the hills unit which can fill guns and tanks?

[@DeeCee-123]

Think we need 2 reviews on weeks like this, so that there’s always a gun review 🤓😆

[@jaconeli88]

Decent compressor but £820 ! Ouch ! I will stick to me trusty BSA, Great review Andy.

[@grahamgeorge1130]

PSA what is the complete number please

[@visiononsystems4491]

I bought the BSA compressor after your review and think that beats this on several levels. All cables and hoses already attached on the BSA plus its about £300 UK less, smaller and in my humble opinion, faster. I love my BSA😊

[@gpbeck]

Worth highlighting 400W at 12V is 35 Amps, way over a car 12V socket current hence the fat cable supplied. Needs a direct battery connection and a running engine.

[@wihtgar7016]

The activated charcoal filter will be very handy when filling your rifle in a CBRN situation!

[@skygod1067]

Hill EC3000 or this Umarex as similarly priced? Hill looks considerably higher quality in my view

[@simonnoble7589]

Great review Andy , great bit of kit ? but £ 820 is a bit rich ! take care n thanks Andy

[@georgeloveless4176]

I was close to buying this, but they were sold out at the time. I didn't want to wait for it to re-stock, so I bought the Nomad 2 and ive been happy with it. I've heard decent things about this...the only complaint I heard is that it don't last for more than a year if your someone who uses it constantly. Thanks again Andy.

[@donpeer4477]

Hahaha!!! "...if you have a springer!" (pregnant pause) That look just cracked me up! Good one, Andy ;)

[@manueltonelli8102]

Thanks for your review. I have to say this is a great product for refilling PCPs without wasting time and effort with hand pumps. I hope it can also land in Italy, it would be really useful for me.

[@robs4509]

Carbon filtration is not needed for air rifles, a medium that absorbs moisture is what is needed!

[@konkretnyfacet]

My arrived today. First run and problem. The pressure stopped at 25 bar. I quickly located the leak. It turned out that I had to tighten the Weihrauch nipple onto the compressor hose adapter very tightly. Now it's OK. But it may be worth buying a uniform adapter with a quick connector tip (without thread).

[@steveplows9996]

Funny old thing your comment on buy cheap buy twice, I bought the 'blue' water cooled chinese thing (no names no pack drill) it was recalled last month by Amazon as it had a tendancy to go live in the electrical sense so it cost me a BSA replacement I did get my £250 back though

[@alistairj4851]

I use a GX-L3 airgun compressor which is about a 3rd the size and runs off 2 power tool batteries. It's also lighter and due to its small size you can leave it in the boot while you recharge your rifle.

[@PeakyBlinder]

I use the GX PUMP CS2 Portable PCP Air Compressor, They are awesome little compressors.

[@chrisfalcke6201]

How would you say this compares to the Air Venturi Nomad (smaller, cheaper and better looking IMHO)? Faster or slower? Louder or quieter? 😊

[@robbierobinson8819]

Very nice review of a compressor, which is a piece of kit that I need and am specially interested in checking out before buying.

[@alancummings7107]

I have one of the £150 Chinese compressors had it maybe three years and been good as gold just have to change oil regularly so I think I have had my money’s worth out of it .

[@msindisiwillem8731]

i know this video has been out for a long time Andy,but is it possible to use the everyday compressor to fill a PCP if you have the fill probe? That is if im not planning to carry any air reservoir.

[@The-Ratbasher]

Get that desk dusted you naughty boy !. lol

[@fiddy_watchguy]

It's a piece of fabric covering the table.

[@fliesarenegade]

Had a cheap chinese one. Well, still over 300€. It lasted 3 fills before it blocked down completely. Got the Hill EC right now and I'm very pleased with it. I have 4 big bottle (all over 500CC) PCP guns and only during (very) hot summer days it needs to take a break to cool down during filling one up. 3 of my guns are 300 bar rated. So: this thing looks amazing, but I'm more then happy with my Hill. Since I mostly shoot in my backyard I feel no need for a 12V option. When, very rarely, I leave my garden I'm just taking along a scuba tank. So every once and a while the Hill needs to fill the tank with a few stops. Up to now it did so flawlessly. I'm a bit curious to find out your long time test results Andy. If the Hill ever quits, this might be a cheaper solution. Have a nice weekend! Cheers, Filip.

[@Paul-pb3vq]

I'll stick with my Hills compressor thanks 😉

[@jcdupuy4809]

Nice compressor. How does it stand against the bsa gamo compressor ? And vevor does anyone know about those compressors ?

[@darrenmorgan9164]

Nice one Andy.

[@keesverhagen9227]

So you can not use this compressor to fill up an eight liter tank ? Although you would do it in cycles ? Waiting several minutes before restarting ?

[@Curtis.Carpenter]

So are you telling me I could hook this up to a human shaped balloon so to speak and have it set on a timer to blow up to a certain pressure? Just asking for a friend a very creepy friend.. 🤣

[@hetrodoxly1203]

I don't understand why you'd set a temperature, surely it would cut out at a factory pre-set temperature to prevent damage and or fire?

[@CrazedCrittic]

I've been running a cheap Chinese compressor for around 3 years now. I drained the oil when I bought it and put in some high grade compressor oil. It gets regularly used, and including a large 300BAR gauge I added, it cost under £200. If it breaks I will just buy another one. £800 is ridiculous considering you can get a compressor that will fill a divers bottle for just over £1000.

[@andycarless9069]

[@ronheeringa6158]

Well I use a cheap chinese Tu Xing compressor who is doing the job very well. Cost me around 300 pounds converted. Filling up the Kral Big Max quite satisfactoy. Also having had bad experience with Umarex and their customer service, would not apend easily this kind of money on their compressor

[@hugohernandezandrade2053]

Hace tiempo compré un compresor Umarex y me ha dado fallas, pero ahora la que hace es que enciendo el compresor y como a los 1100 PSI se apaga pero en el tablero me aparece Over temperat y a los 1150 PSI se apaga como puedo solucionar este problema, pero antes quise cambiar de Psi a bares y ya después me apareció este problema hay solución?

[@paulkeogh3518]

Where does the moisture go?

[@5Komma5]

Yes please give us an update after a while. I still have my China Express unit but I am not happy with it so I am hoping it will fail soon so I can justify getting a new one. This looks like a unit I don't have to be scared when operating it as I do not trust my blue China special. My China unit is eating compressor oil as if it where free and the oil tank gasket leaks as well. Back when I bought it there where no reasonably priced alternatives. This unit is much better priced in Germany. Nice 👍

[@ronheeringa6158]

[@cosmichef75]

Great option for SHTF

[@stephenbroadhurst7653]

Sorry to bother you Andy but I’m in a bit of a pickle, now I am retired I feel like giving my knees a rest and with the ReadyAir @ £620 and the Hills ec 310 evo being £850 the choice is getting harder. Umarex doesn’t show any parts diagrams or spares availability, Hills shows everything but it’s a bit of an overkill for what I need. So I wondered how the ReadyAir is holding up, But I really want to support British companies and I know the parts will be available. So it would help my decision if you say that the Umarex is floundering slightly, so what do you say ! Then I won’t need to keep this video saved in my favourite section.👍

[@AAROnair]

@@stephenbroadhurst7653 The hill is the one I use, but it’s the more expensive, the Umarex is good and does 12v too. The Hill will do tanks with ease. You should really go for the dry pac too. Stay safe

i bought a cheep chinese one ..yes people will say u pay for what you get..but..its 2 years old and hasnt put a foot wrong....i put top range oil in it when it arrived...and has filled up my 4 pcp's ever since...price??.....£140.....

[@jean-lucchessher7065]

Springers dont need that but they also dont fire from a magazine

[@DelDredd]

I imagine the Charcoal filter is to remove oil vapour from the pressurized air, it will not remove any moisture you need dessicant etc for that. How does the Umarex do that?. On ours we have a separate large Dessicant filter assembly, so we have no issues with moisture getting into rifle.

[@jeremymoore16]

It doesn't. Your pressurizing atmospheric air and humidity. So once you are at the needed pressure, the dew point inside of the airtank is going to be so high that you will have condensation in the tank. I made an air dryer for this unit. Dry's it down to almost 0% humidity. However, this adds an additional $400 to the price of the compressor. You would be better off buying a supply tank and taking it to a diving shop where they dry down the compressed air and having them fill it.

[@1davechandler]

What has your experience been with this compressor now after having it for 5 months or so?? I’m looking to buy one but I just pulled up a bunch of reviews on it and it had way to many very poor reviews, on guy had got one that was dead right out of the box, wouldn’t even turn on and the 2nd one they sent him was also dead right out of the box. Many poor reviews on this unit and would like to hear about your experience with it. Thank you. Dave

[@AAROnair]

so far so good, no issues. I contacted Vector Air to ask if they have had any issues or faults reported from customers…None. all good, so far 100% working with no problems. stay safe Andy

[@1davechandler]

Thank you Andy for your fast reply. I will continue to take a look at this compressor.

[@russellham2094]

Great idea, but a very big investment? A 12L bottle and guage etc would be less than 200£ UK. At a top end refill cost of 5£ per top, there's a 120 fills before becoming viable 🤔

[@beastmode2990]

I think it only fair that you show how it compares with you putting in an additional 100 psi with a hand pump at full speed. 😈

[@CreativeMistakes]

While it looks nice, it gets to hot and takes a long time to cool down. If you live in an area where it is hot it will take over 20 minutes just to get it down to high 80'S. Then after 20 hours you need to get a rebuild kit at a cost of $30 plus with shipping. If you shoot alot it will not last. Each time you use compressor it will takes longer and longer time to get up to pressure.

[@mercster]
