Page 4 - Air Venturi HPA Compressor, 4500 Reviews

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He absolutely loves it. He is 62, but has had two back surgeries. The pump was very hard on him. Now it takes him about 1 minute to fill up each gun. He is thrilled!

It does have a slight odor when used, which I know cannot be helped. But if I could change that (in a perfect world), I would.

Pyramid Air has absolutely the best customer service bar none! You get all the help and guidance you need ( I need it because I am in uncharted territory shopping for my husband); the shipping time is unbelievable, and the packaging is perfect! Everything arrives BEFORE scheduled delivery date and in perfect condition. Do not hesitate to order from this company! They are excellent to work with!

When I first received it, it worked. It failed after one year and the compressor was lightly used. I only used it form my air pistol needs. I only fill to 200 bar...3,000 psi

Durability. It cannot fail after a total of four hours of use.

Buy something else

Very nice compressor fills up scuba and all paintball tanks About as loud as a normal air compressor

Hour meter

I like everything about my new compressor. Fills my new FX Crown in a few minutes and the fill cut-off gauge is spot on.

I would hinge the covers so the could be opened for maintenance and assembly with out taking screws out.

So much better than filling my air guns from scuba bottles plus my Crown takes more bar then the old scuba tank could feed it.

My hand pump quit so I decided to go with an electric pump and I am glad I did this is an excellent pump it will pump my air arms s410 up in just a few minutes I also have a suba tank it will pump it up in about 30 minutes from 0 to 3000 psi

Nothing

the quality

this compressor takes a special compressor oil which does not come with the unit.Also no mention of this in the add.You find this out when you are at your cabin and read the instructions.

Built like a tank. This unit is also powerful, relatively quiet and fast as when filling up my PCPs. Easy to use as well with excellent instructions.

Nothing at all

This is an awesome unit and worth every penny. It will make you want to shoot your PCPs all the time because of its ease of use. My advice is to save up for it if you need to, because it will psych you up to shoot a lot more than if you rely on a hand pump, which gets old really fast. You won't be disappointed if you purchase this unit because I feel it is an excellent investment for the hobby. I was on the fence buying it at first because of the price but now I am very glad I did.

The Air Venturi 4500 Compressor is well-built, well-thought-out in terms of features, controls, and operation, and reasonably priced for what you are getting. It is easy to set-up and simple in its operation. The manual that comes with the unit is well-written, and simple to understand and follow.

Based upon the reviews of other users, I ordered and installed an hour meter to keep track of when particular maintenance items were to be conducted. The cost was about $35 delivered to my door for the hour meter, and it simply attaches to the compressor with Velcro or the supplied adhesive strip. The compressor is also heavy. You would be well-advised to purchase some type of wheeled cart or moving dolly to mount it on so you can push it around when needed. I mounted mine on a wooden moving dolly that I purchased at Home Depot. I also purchased a small plastic bin that I mounted next to the compressor on the dolly to hold my extra bottles or oil, owners manual, power cord, and small parts.

Be sure to buy at a couple of bottles of the Air Venturi Compressor Oil so you can get up and running as soon as the unit is delivered. The oil comes in handy 16-ounce bottles, which is exactly the amount called for in the manual. Always be sure to have one or two extra bottles handy. About the only other thing that would make this product even more useful would be some type of cover to keep the unit clean when not being used. I am sure that you could find a cardboard box at the UPS Store that would slip over the unit to do the job.

Best thing you will ever buy to support your pre-charged airgun addiction.

Not a thing. The only tiny annoyance is the glycerin filled pressure gauge has a bubble of air that always seems to be blocking the view of my 3000psi marking. But that is no reason to take any credit away from the compressor.

I highly recommend changing the oil after the first couple tanks you fill. The book recommends changing after 25 hours initially however I did an oil change after the 10 minute break in period and then I topped off two scuba tanks. I found the oil was definitely full of particles from the break in period. I plan on doing another oil change after another hour of use on the compressor. This is common wear during the break in period of any new motor and it should not be of concern to see, however there is no need to leave the grit and abrasive particles in the machine during the break in period. Also note that your oil in the machine will not appear to be as dirty in the viewing window as it actually is in the compressor. All the metal shavings and bits of metal will settle into the bottom of the pan when the machine is turned off. So I am just recommending oil changes more frequently when you first begin to use the compressor.

Size and ease of use.

Would add a hour meter and maybe make the temperature gauge in farenheit.

Works great fast fill not to loud.

Needs to come with oil. Nothing like waiting on backordered compressor, to have to wait for oil to come in.

This is a well made machine. Easy to set up. Runs fairly quiet. Fills my Tiger Shark tank from 3700 to 4500 psi in about 10 minutes. The auto shut off works great, but make sure you are on a 20 amp circuit. Had mine on a 15 and when the auto shut off kicked in it kicked the breaker. The manual does not say what amp circuit it should be on. I have about 120 minutes of run time it and it has performed flawlessly. The oil that the manual calls for is used in ATV's so when you look for it, look in the ATV section and not the automobile oil section. You can also use compressor oil. This is one purchase you should make now, and one you will never regret.

It weighs about 80 lbs. Adding some caster wheels would help allot of folks move it about if necessary. If I ever have to go mobile with it I plan to mount it to a small pull cart.

There are a few events in life that provide you with a new sense of freedom - getting your drivers license, getting your first car, graduating from school and moving into your first apartment on your own, and maybe for some, getting divorced or retiring. But to the serious air gunner nothing compares to the freedom you experience when you buy this compressor. No more worries of running out of air at the wrong time, no more worries about where to get the air and more paying for air for some folks. It provides stress free unlimited shooting time which for shooting addicts like myself, that is priceless. I would strongly recommend to anyone looking to move into the PCP world, to buy this compressor - FIRST. I believe that most of us made our first PCP gun choices based on availability of air and shot count. This steered me to purchase a good rifle but not necessarily the one I wanted at the time. Had I bought the compressor FIRST, I would have had a much larger pool to pick from. BUY IT!

Fast fill rate.

Couple compressor with the air venturi moisture pre filter at a discount, say $10 off total price.

Awesome pump, works like it should for the money

Nothing

Get one it's the way to go

Very easy to use so far. With the help of YouTube videos Im feeling fairly confident that Im not doing anything wrong. I have a 44cf tank and it takes about 10-12 minutes to top it off from about 2900lbs to 4500lbs. Something unexpected happens when filling my Gamo TC45 from around 3000lbs to 4500lbs. When the pressure reaches around 3900lbs while filling the compressor begins to sort of let off! It will build up pressure, the gun valve will open and take the air then the compressor air pressure gauge will drop until it reaches pressure again! It will eventually fill to gun completely in about 6 minutes. It was unnerving the first time this happened however.

Not sure yet. So far so good!

I like the convenience and ease of use. I am completely satisfied and would recommend it.

Very well built, very efficient unit, fills all my guns and tanks very little time. Very quiet unit.

Install casters on unit, install hour meter on unit, supply cover for unit.

I can fill my own tanks and my own guns no more hassle. It's not as loud as I thought it would be. I filled my 88cf tank from zero to 4500 psi tonight. I was in my basement and the wife did not boot me to the garage. The whole unit seemed to be quality. Extra parts were included some seals and o-rings. There was a female foster adaptor included I was able to use the extended foster connector that came with my inpact. Now I can get it off with my hand no more using pliers.

Not much it worked pretty well first time out.

I filled my compressor with royal purple synthetic air compressor oil. I filled the cooling system with purified drinking water and a bottle of royal purple ice. I need this compressor to last. It was 20.3C when I started filling my bottle took it roughly 1.5hr and temperature never went over 63.6C. It was eventless and went exactly as planned. The bottle was slightly warm to the touch after filling. I am a happy airgunner.

Very fast fills. Easy to operate.

Would like to see a hour meter.

Just buy it. Worth every penny in my book.

I've had this compressor for a short while and have done set up and run in. Have filled one tank and 4 pcps. Very satisfied so far with this unit, sure beats my hand pump and my y.h. compressor.

Would have been nice to have an hour meter, even for a few bucks more, it will be next.

Buy this unit ! You won't regret the purchase!!
