I TESTED the CHEAPEST Airbrush Compressors on Amazon

[@MarcoSchmandt]

I picked up the Airgoo a few months ago, and I'm super happy with it. I basically upgraded from one of those cheap Oasser-style compressors. That little guy carried me for over a year, so I agree with recommending them for a beginner.

[@papaya_pariah]

Airbrushing is on my list of things to learn, so this was quite interesting.

[@HellstormWargaming]

Its really fun, just scary with so much information out there. just grab one and spray some paper to try it out :)

[@owencresswell5499]

Thanks for this video. I’m looking into getting an airbrush and found this very useful. 👍. The yellow looked 👌

[@MercenaryQ]

I don't airbrush but this video has got me interested for sure ! Great vid

[@HellstormWargaming]

Glad I could help! If youre ever ready to dive in, at least you have a vague idea on what to get :)

[@mandyd9681]

I got a $40 one of Amazon a few years ago, swapped out the airbrush for a better one and its still going strong for me, great for terrain, and basecoats, but yea that larger one with the tank will be the next upgrade once this one goes out

[@TheDuke07]

I love every compressor is just a licensed design. In the US that Sparmax is under the Itawa brand, who also has a copy of all the other compressors shown here and the standard other compressors are under several names

[@NigeyWigey]

Sparmax and Iwata belong to the same parent company I believe.

[@ginjasteve4435]

Not going to lie, good video. Wish you had a good airbrush!

[@HellstormWargaming]

Gaahleri is great!

Nice video Mikey . Best advice I'd give is to ignore the hobby compressors and look at a "Silent" workshop compressor, these run to a max of 115psi were as the hobby ones run to 45psi which means the tank holds more a lot more air and the compressor has to run a lot less, example mine with a 12L tank, when running is about 60db range and I can easily turn it on and let it fill up then get 2 or more hours of constant use before the compressor kicks back in for a few minutes to fill it back up.

[@NigeyWigey]

Which ones would you recommend? I’m in the market for a new compressor.

[@lordgitface]

@@NigeyWigey I've got this one Hyundai 8L Air Compressor HY5508 at about £116 ( thought it was 12L but it's 8L) you will want to get a regulator/moisture trap and fitting (about £20 quid) or if the have room their 24L version comes with the reg/trap at £165

[@NigeyWigey]

@@lordgitfacecheers, I’ll look into that when I get round to replacing my dinky compressor.

[@modelmaker2001]

Funny and well presented (as usual). I've got a shop compressor. I got it for other projects, and it's handy, with a big tank, But air plumbing was a nightmare, and it's a bit LOOOUUUD!!!. Like a jet engine. Compressors, and airbrushes, are pretty affordable now (Fengda has a great one if you can't get an expensive brand name). Definitely get some kind of compressor, though. Thisd is a good guide.

[@glubgawd7393]

Ultra quiet 1 or 2 gallon, in the states, Harbor Freight sells Fortress brand, it’s absolutely amazing for airbrushing, you can run it in the house at midnight and not wake up people

[@michaelramos4482]

I was really hoping to see my compressor on here. Its even a step above the Sparmax. As you saw, the Sparmax really is just a repackaged maybe slightly higher build quality version of the mid tiered generic tank compressor. I bought a Badger name brand one and a generic one and they were almost completely identical. The absolute best airbrush experience youll get is the one at the highest price point. The Silentaire Super Silent 20-a. This thing is an absolute beast (It weighs about as much as one too) I found mine on marketplace just over a year ago and it has ran incredibly. It is so quiet that even when its recharging the spray from the brush is louder than the compressor itself. Definitely not for everyone, but if youre serious about airbrushing or getting something that will literally last decades, you cant look any further.

[@HellstormWargaming]

Wasn’t on Amazon from what I saw !

[@aurictgreatful]

holy shit, an in video addvert I'm actually interested in.......

[@HellstormWargaming]

Use my code xoxoxo

[@J-Martijn]

Which models are those? They look amazing. Also thank you for the education.

[@HellstormWargaming]

They’re Ravaged Star (Miniwargaming) :) Hope it helps!

[@J-Martijn]

@@HellstormWargaming they would make cool old world chosen w halberds

[@ikjcaboose935]

ive been using the Expo tools AB602, its kinda loud, costly and not very pretty but its been working reliably for over 10 years now. The included airbrush is not great though.

[@zachnewlin8772]

I have an As-186 and after about 10-15mins of use it doubles up as a heater during winter 😅

[@sinner6]

The smash cut to an egg that sort of is cooking is killing me, I can't stop laughing.

[@kamilzielinski1623]

where is the silent refrigerator compressor :D? htc-20a (super expensive but dead silent)

[@HellstormWargaming]

Not on Amazon for me 💀

[@ArhainHainar]

Great video, I have a Fengda like the 3rd one but mine has lasted a lot longer than yours at 6+ years

[@HellstormWargaming]

Maybe its just me :P

[@brianhall4182]

All those knock-off Chinese names are probably shilling the same compressor. The one I have is an AS-186, sold by Timbertech and a number of other places. In my research it came up a lot as a good reliable standard compressor.

[@xxxyz721]

As186 is the goto for compressors. Most seem based on that design..

[@MrWizzyfizzy]

I'd love to know, does the H&S , last longer than the standard identical looking elegoo. Can it really be 400 better.

[@HellstormWargaming]

That would be the ultimate test really, but a bit out of my realm to work out if it lasts more than 3 years for one video 😂

[@DefaultProphet]

I would not suggest starting off with the 1st or 2nd one. For new air brush users they’re very unforgiving in a way a real compressor isn’t and that frustration factor only ended up in me spending more money. Once you know what you’re doing you can get okay results from 1&2

[@kyleturner7540]

Is there USA equivalent to warmag, they make good stuff but the shipping price is insane

[@CMO31315]

How was the Sparmax on heat? I've been using one similar to the Airgoo and boy does it get hot. I've burned myself a couple of times forgetting it's under my desk lost in a painting session. Would you say it gets less hot then others or does that shroud just create a barrier to avoid accidental burns?

[@HellstormWargaming]

Sparmax also gets hot, just had the big case which protects you I guess?

[@Xatxitor]

Whatabout a cheap compressor witha decent airbrush?

[@HellstormWargaming]

I wouldn’t bother with the handheld 💀

[@NigeyWigey]

Great vid, I have a cheaper sparmax compressor and it doesn’t have a tank (came In a sparmax kit). Still does a great job but it rumbling away while I have a sleeping baby in the house is a big no no. Getting a compressor with a tank is a big must. Edit: Dafuq, my names not in the credits (yes my ego is that fragile).

[@HellstormWargaming]

If it’s not in the credits, it means you’re not a high enough tier 👀

[@NigeyWigey]

@@HellstormWargaming way to out myself as a cheapskate.

[@robertsurtees2667]

You buy cheap, you buy twice

[@HellstormWargaming]

Don’t know what you mean? £10 is NOT cheap? 👀😂

[@toddzino58]

Recommend not showing distain for a product before you even open the box. Try and have an open mind and judge on its actual merits rather than the obviously pre-conveived ones you have made up your mind on. Without setting rules for yourself, your reviews are kind of pointless.

[@HellstormWargaming]

If you’re talking about the first airbrush, it wasn’t before it was open. It was open when it shipped 😂

[@nypariah]

Silly comment, it's his channel, he just said outloud what I thought when I saw it. I appreciate the honesty really.
