Had mine for just over 12 months now and its brilliant. Quickly fills up my 3 PCP's no problem. Love it.

Proof of the pudding

[@paulau6670]

Hello, I have had this device for 7 months, I use it several times a week, to inflate to 230, 250 and 300 bars according to my PCP ... No problem, silent and very easy to use, you plug into the mains or in the trunk of the car and wait for the automatic shutdown, what a pleasure !!! No more inflation with the hand pump !!

[@BoggWeasel]

You either have a different pump or need to see audiologist because there's something wrong with your ears 😁

[@JC-lf8pr]

Absolutely amazing product. Yes, this pump is not completely silent but is very quiet for its duty. My only regret is that I would have saved up enough money to buy this unit on Amazon a year ago.

its a gx cs3 re branded as a bsa for £150 more ! . i know my compressors

[@user-mc3jd4oo9c]

It's not exactly the same as a gx cs3. the cs3 requires you to connect the crocodile clips up to an external 12 volt transformer, whereas the BSA unit has the transformer built in - a much tidier solution!

[@jon1801]

Used a compressor for four years now, more than repaid itself. Got fed up of dive bottles and the testing.

[@JC-lf8pr]

Excellent review. I just received mine from GX Pump store on Amazon. I am putting her through the paces now. Cheers!

[@user-qb1sk9ux6m]

why don't use filter?

[@benhizzle]

For the less civilized people like myself, I’m glad they include battery clamps.

[@melvyncotton8692]

If you, for any reason, need spares for this compressor after your warranty period, BSA don't do them and they don't know where you can get them from. This is a issue I have with my compressor.

[@steveashton8669]

I've had mine since Nov 2021, it's failed inthat the circlip on the conrod has broken and the pressure won't go above 100bar and I cannot find any leaks.

[@Ameirs]

Does this compressor have inside filter? So i don’t need one in the hose

[@yannickjanssen2375]

Wont these push a lot of moisture in my 13ci hpa tanks?? No molecular sueve or adequate filters on this so I'm wondering if its worth getting to fill my airsoft tanks with this?

[@rickrazz7136]

Thanks, I noticed yours do not have an external power supply. All the cs3 compressors I see here in America has the power supply. I assume that's because of the 110v vs 220v?

[@kazzawright8158]

Where could I get the Instruction manual from please

[@jimkurk5575]

hello-could you tell me how to grease/oil this compressor, demonstration would be great. thanks for any replies

[@stuartosborne2292]

I have a BSA r10 and also the new r12......within the past 6 months I also purchased this compressor...its worked perfectly for all this time, albeit only every couple of weeks....today, however, there is an air leak from where the air tube meets the filter probe....ive contact the shop I bought it from but with no reply yet.....why is it so difficult to contact BSA?....I cannot find a phone number or email address for the company ..I expected better service from them....hopefully they'll be at the Yorkshire Shooting Show in a couple of weeks.....then I can let them know my problem....

They're all made in china.....everything's made in China!!
