Page 3 - Air Venturi HPA Compressor, 4500 Reviews

It appears to be well made

Hour meter so you can see how long you have run the compressor, relief valve with a small pipe to direct the discharge water and oil mix, open in sheet metal to see water tank level, temperature gauge in Fahrenheit, a little larger pressure gauge, the screw inserts on the tubing frame should be metal inserts not rubber/plastic

Packed very well, received quickly even in the season craze. Auto shutoff works perfectly.

Do not run this in your house! Garage placement is a must due to the odor this expels. Some kind of catch/tray for the black moisture that comes out when you bleed the line would be nice. I just put a paper towel under the unit when I'm about to relieve the line pressure.

This is hands above the way I used to fill my carbon fibers. No more waiting around for 5 hours with the very noisy alternatives I was using. I average about 35 minutes filling each tank from start to finish. The joy and confidence I have from knowing my money was well spent is explainable. Wish this was around way back when, I could have bought 2 of these with the money i wasted on the other products

Very efficient, quiet, easy to use

An hour meter would be nice. You are required to change compressor oil and filter at stated intervals. Compressor does not ship with oil. It would be nice if that was included. Needed to make another trip to the store before I could use it. It comes with a bag of parts with absolutely no explanation where they are used. Too heavy to move conveniently

Price and weight

was easy to set up seems to run great have used it to fill up my Air Force Texan LSS 7 or 8 times after 2 an 3 shots takes under 2 min. to fill to 3000psi

Longer fill hose, an better gage kinda hard to read

This was purchased to fill a 4500psi Air Venturi 74 cu.ft air tank and a TEXAN LSS .45. After filling with the required fluids and running for 10 minutes with nothing connected I believe it is some sort of break-in period. I filled my carbon fiber tank from empty to 4500 lbs in 50 minutes, I would open your garage door or use outside the first couple of uses because a thin layer of smoke will fill the room until it has been used a couple of times.

Display should read Fahrenheit verses Celsius or at least have the ability to change it.

Cost may have your thinking twice about purchasing but it is well worth the investment especially if you have large caliber guns or a variety. Better yet you will no longer have to concern yourself with drop off, pick up, store hours or holidays.

This was purchased basically to fill a 4500psi Air Venturi 74 cu.ft air tank, which it does quite well. It took about 20 min to fill from empty to 4500psi. It is not as loud as smaller versions on the market (which basically blow holes through some parts when they are running for the same amount of time). I should have purchased this earlier instead of the cheaper versions on the market that don't provide good instructions - would have saved some money and time.

Nothing

If you can afford it, i would consider this a must have for guns that go beyond 200 Bar

Works well fills the large Air Venturi tank and I am good for weeks.

When unit is decompressed a considerable amount of oil comes flying out with the air. (Manual says it will) It would be nice if there was a spout (hose?) that could be directed into a plastic jug or something.

Very handy to be able to fill my big tank at home. Depending on how empty tank is it can take over an hour to fill.

When it was working, it filled guns and tanks alike very quickly. I like the auto shutoff functions for safety

So, I have this for a little over a year. Not used heavy at all as total fill time is maybe 15 full tanks. Went to fill my tanks on Saturday as got a new rifle. Started immediately over heating and will fill nothing. Not even a small air gun. Shows pressure going up but does not actually move the needle in the gun at all and quickly begins overheating. Been trying to get customer support and keep getting put in perm hold and have not talked to a single person yet. This is a very expensive item to break down with Th is little usage and then not be able to get any customer care support

First time trying to get customer support in all the years at PA and all the things I have bought so most things are total quality. Problem is the one time I need them with a high dollar item and I cannot get anyone to help

It doesn't work very good, It has been replaced three times ., so I guess that could be considered good . , that they at least try to make it right, after it breaks .. I havent had one last more than 5 months. Without complete breakdown .It is a cheap Chinese pump with Air Ventrie stickers on it ! I totally would not recommend buying this inferior product . This is the best pump that they sell which is very sad . I definitely shouldve got a cash reimbursement and took my money elsewhere .

It is very loud, it vibrates a lot, it will not stay in one place as you fill an air tank it will vibrate across the room,. The cooling system makes a very high pitch noise when it is turned on. The pump itself makes a crazy rattling sound sometimes the tone will change thats when you know its about to go south and break permanently .. I have had this pump replaced three times from system failure. Also pyramyd air uses the cheapest means possible with their free delivery. What this means is they use fed ex ground. The pump weighs over 80 pounds ,So the freight will be dropped multiple times. the first one I got had a bent frame. The last one I received came in a different box altogether because it was dropped so many times, I did not receive a owners manual, I emailed them and asked for one and I still have not received one. I was told I can find the information on the Internet if I would like a manual.

This is not a good pump. It takes a very long time to fill a tank. It is very overpriced for what you receive. This pump doesnt even come with oil. For that much money it should. I wouldnt recommend buying this pump even to someone I do not like .. this pump has made me change my feelings about air Venturi *I cannot believe they would put their name on this pump. I have received three of them and they all have broken.. I cannot believe they would put her name on this path. I have received three of them and they all have broken . What this means for me is I end up going without an air compressor for a very long time without an air compressor means no shooting. If you like to shoot keep this in mind . I really wish pyramyd air would have just gave me my money back since they do not sell a better model . I also wish they would follow through with contacting me in regards to the subject instead of giving me the runaround. Like somebody with authority or power calling me via telephone

I have owened one of these for about 2 years, and this spring is the first time I have any trouble with it.it had some low pressure problems. I talked to to several techs ,that I want to thank a lot for helping me out a great deal with my problem. Wound up having to return it to PA , they were very quick at repairing ,and returning g it back to me. Thanks PA techs. I have filled two 74 cu.ft. tanks with it so far and no problems with it so far.Thanks again

Need to come up with some kind of filter that is affordable that separates the water and oil , and filters that smell. If you can put it before it goes into the final output filter would be great.

I found it helpful to put a frozen water bottle into the water tank while it is operating is helpful in it's operation

Convenience! You heard of a "God Send" ? Well this is a "Gun Send". Especially for those near Twilight yrs. This is amazing & works above & beyond it's call of duty. Fills my Ben. Marauders in less than 3 Mins. Over 8 hrs. of use with no problems. Built real well from China, but think were it's knowledge came from? We are back USA! Heavy, Yes. Buy or build a dolly. A little bit pricey but well worth the $'s. A life saver for those who are older or not physically fit. Easy to maintain & to change oil & filter. Buy one on the affirm plan. You can not go wrong!

Need hour meter. Keep a log book.

Read owner's manual. No one knows it all? Buy compressor oil CHpower @ local hardware store.

Fairly compact, and easy to set up. I've been PCP shooting for many years. I inherited my brothers guns and that got me going. I have his scuba tank. I would have the local FD fill it for me. It would take a week for the command to approve the fill. Then, they upgraded their pump. It has a cage to put their tanks in while filling them. Local codes I think. My tank was too large for them to fill. Now, with my own compressor, I have other local PCP shooters coming to me.

I would have a Hobbs hour meter installed from the factory. I installed mine myself and it works good. Further, I would have a way of venting the bleed oil/water to external container. Hose or something to get that away from the interior. I would like to see the power connection on the side or back.

It's set it, let it run till it quits. Follow instructions on testing this feature. You'll be happy feet next time that tank is empty and you don't have to farm it out.

like?? Huh!! I love it. It's easy to operate. All self contained in one unit. Not as loud as I expected after reading some of the reviews. The weight is fine with me too. Sits proud on the new bench i built for it and don't dance around.

I can't think of anything I would change except an hour meter would be nice.

I've been seriously air gunning a few years now but I wore out 3 o 4 Daisy' power lines in my kid like days. I started a few years ago with a RWS 460 magnum which l love to shoot. Then I started studying PCP air rifles and soon got my first marauder and boy was I excited. I had a 90 ci tank that I had filled a couple of times until the paintball arena went out of business. Then there was the hand pump. I did that for 3 or 4 years with no Big issues. It just make you really make all your shots mean something. Plink wasn't as fun as it should be, in other words. So I finally decided to get a compressor and so glad I did. The first one arrived damaged in shipping. It was during the hustle of the Christmas Holliday so it got tossed around a bit I'm sure. I notified PA and the gladly and promptly sent a replacement. It was perfect. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the compressor and the service from PA. Thank you Pyramid Air and Thank you Air Venturi. Ronnie C.

The compressor came and pump didnt work but pyramedair was quick to send me new one. That came wuth broken fan shroud for compressor motor wrote to Pyramudaur and they aloud me to try it unit works well and there sending me a new fan shroud. Great customer service.. and they have great Gun techs. Thats why i order my Guns and my equipment from them great service.. and the fan shroud you could see got broken from shipping

Nothing

Great service great tecks equals the Best customer service Great company love my Gun My seneca Recluse and my Aircompresser

Quick, quiet, easy to operate, and backed by Air Venturi. It arrived at my house in perfect condition. I filled my 74' AV Carbon Fiber tank from empty to 4500psi in just over an hour. Refills from 3800 to 4500 take about 12 minutes. Just turn it on, purge water as often as you want, it will shut off at your set pressure reading and enjoy your PCP's.

Nothing with the compressor. An hour meter might be nice, but I keep a log and that works fine. A lower price would be nice, but I wouldn't want to pay a few bucks less and loose the quality.

I used a mixture of 50/50 antifreeze and distilled water to help prevent any corrosion. I also used Royal Purple synthetic compressor oil. I changed the oil after the first 10 minutes of break in, and again after my first tank fill which was just over an hour of run time. I'll now change the oil and air filter every 25 hours. I purge the water about every 10 minutes and get maybe a table spoon out. You can do that with no interruptions to the compressor. I uploaded a picture of the "cart" I made for it. It makes moving it around and purging the water much easier. You will definitely enjoy your hobby more with this air compressor!

It was simple to set up. I did order the Air Venturi 4500 Compressor Oil, 16 Oz. to simplify the process of getting started

Nothing I can think of. Maybe I would add an hour meter.

I filled my Marauder (with an extended air cylinder) in about 2 minutes, maybe 2.5minutes. The auto shut off was easy to set, and it worked like a charm. I have an 88 cu in tank coming in a few days. I can't want to fill this

the ability to fill air tanks

haven't had it long enough to snivel.

Only filled my tank once so far, but when the automatic shutoff shut the pump down, my 20 amp breaker tripped. Want to see it happen again before calling.

Packed extremely well and quickly shipped. Easy to set up and use. Filled my 74cf tank from 2000-4500 psi in 23 minutes. This compressor is well made and quiet.

Add an hour meter but not a deal breaker. Log book works too.

I'm glad I made this investment purchase. Even tho I live around the corner from a dive shop here in Akron Ohio. I like the independence/convienence this compressor gives me. BTW from my experience with sprinkler system air compressors, follow the maintence/oil change recommendations religiously. Joseph in Akron, Ohio

I've had mine for 7 months, it runs smooth and steady. The air comes out dry. I've got a downline cylinder filter, and it's not seen a drop of water. I do get white fluid that sprays a bit on the bleed, but none of that seems to make it out of the condenser output tube. I had one issue with a seal on the output hose, Pyramyd mailed a replacement within minutes of of calling them.

A little pricy, but a lot of value.

You'll need some more ammo

Saves me time and money to refill my tank. I can shoot as much as I like and not worry about running out of air. I'm shooting FX PCP air rifles and they take lots of air.

Should include a vibration hour meter.

The fill time for my 75 cu ft for 2800 psi to 4500 psi is 30 minutes. I've filled it 2 times. The initial cost is expensive but it's worth it. If you are a serious PCP air rifle shooter, it's a good investment in the long run.
