Your thoughts on this compressor from Lidl and related products

 When you click on the above link go to the DIY section. I was thinking of getting this to use every now and again, but mostly if I ever need to spray my car. What are your thoughts on quality and price. I have heard that Parkside make is German. I dont think it is a bad price and looks quite powerful. Has anyone bought one and painted a car with it? I think it has been on sale before in Lidl. There is also a sand blaster that would be great for blasting rusty parts and a spray gun. Would it be better getting a gun that proffessionals use do you think, as this has to feel and be right when spraying? There is a bigger compressor as well, but it is a lot more expensive. Is the smaller cheaper one well capeable for the DIYer?                                                       . Thanks

i had a similar one from aldi fo years, did everything i ever asked of it, but have recently upgrade

you could spray a car with it with the right gun and preasure

but they are very noisy

For the money mate I don't think you can go wrong tbh.

Even if you use it for a few years and upgrade as JB has done it'll be worth it

It will be poorly built. But if it is looked after and not used that regularly it will be fine!

It doesn't take a lot of air to paint. Just get a half decent gun and moisture trap, and possibly a regulator.

Just don't be dissapointed when you try and run a sandblaster off it. It would probably be OK for small bits, nothing big. And the compressor will always be filling.

Am I being short sighted or does it fail to mention the tank size?

I would imagine it would be fine for inflating tyres and running a small gun *but* as previously stated it will only be good for the smaller air fed items.

It would be good for running an air fed breather if you do get into spraying though.

Got one of these!

I use for it for sandblasting and it works fine with the gun from Lidl. I also have the nail/staple gun which works fine too.
It'll run the air wrench but does have trouble with the rattler gun though.

I have it the garage and when it's filling it is quite noisy though. I think I'm going to build it a kennel outside instead.

Spose it's like everything really. You gets what you pays for.
