AS-186/ AF-186 compressors

Hi guys,

Looking at compressors I’ve come across a few As-186/AF-186 types with reservoirs at prices that suit my budget on Ebay.

They all seem to be no-name brands mostly - are anyone here using this type of compressor? Are they worth it? Around the AUD90 delivered.

Difference between the AS and AF seems to be the AF has a cooling fan built in and is a few dollars dearer…anyone having any thoughts on these?

Cheers BT

It’s kind of looking like if you buy one of these you can let us all know how it is. I did look up some youtube on them which didn’t say a whole lot. I guess maybe not the quietest units but one might expect that given the price.

If you can hold out till about mid-July, you’ll probably be able to get something similar from Aldi. For the last few years they’ve had an airbrush compressor for $99.00 some time in July or thereabouts. Last year it was this one with a tank attached

In previous years, it was the same basic compressor but without a tank. A couple of years ago, I got one of the tankless models on a clearance a few weeks after the catalogue date for $40.00 (was $99.00)

Had one of these for years and had no problem at all with it, very quiet and never had a drip out of it. This is the type I got from ebay just so there’s no confusion, can’t go wrong for AU$90 delivered.

This is exactly the kind of thing I’ve got my eye on. Think I might just order one! :slight_smile:

Don’t think you can do better for the money new. Let me know what you think of it when you have it.
