Hi all

I am considering buying a Werther air compressor, but their website doesn't have much info on the various models. The models available to me are the Hobby Air and the Werther 2.

Does anyone have any opinions on these compressors?

Tarok,

I have the larger of the two Werther compressors, the one that produces 4 bar/55 psi; on the back it is called the Werther Three. The reason I wanted this one and not the lesser model is my son and I can plausibly think of wanting to paint at the same time, and I wanted to be able to do that.

It was louder than I thought it would be, but acceptable as compared to my other industrial compressor. I'm still getting used to it, but am enjoying being able to paint whenever I want and not have to fear waking up the whole neighborhood.

I find I am having to adjust my paint mixture alittle to the thinner, because I am used to having so much more l/m behind my airbrush. By this I'm not saying I have to adjust the levels tremedously, it was bothering me just enough to change what I have been using before.

The only thing I really have against the compressor is the noise level - and that is most likely my own subjective desire that was let down, not any actual factor. After putting the compressor on a anti-vibration matting it is very nice.

Don't know if that helps, but anyway best of luck!!
