From Across The Pond Comes A New Product Introduced By HILL. Yes HILL, The Company With The Reputation For Creating Best Hand Pumps On The Planet, Is Now Entering The Compressor Market. [ BEHOLD ] The EC - 3000 Compressor, Designed And Built By HILL, Will Be Distributed In The U.S.By Air Venturi. Hence The Unit Will Bare The Logo " AIR VENTURI The Power Of Air HILL EC - 3000 "
Things I would have changed:At First Glance, One Would Think This " Gray And Green Eyed Lady " Is A Portable Generator [ Wrong - Perish That Thought.] Generators Do Not Have Air Fill ( Whip ) Hoses. This Hill Abounds With Fresh Ideas For Compressors, Such As An All Digitally Controlled System With An LED Panel For Displaying All Commands As It Monitors Every Aspect Of The Compressors Operation. The Machine Lubricated With Compressor Oil In The Crankcase, But It Also Has A Completely Separate Lubricating System Which Uses Silicone Oil. This Silicone Oil Is Fed From A Little Bottle Mounted On The Right Side Of The Unit. I'm Assuming, This Silicone Feed Is For The Valves And Upper Cylinder Walls, Not Sure Yet: This Unit Also Runs Very Quiet. Personally, I Would Never Leave A Running Compressor Unattended, But With All This Digital Control, There Is A Huge Temptation To Perform The [ Set And Forget ] Procedure. Please Don't Do That.
What others should know:Oh ! Did I Mention That This HILL Is Manufactured In The U. K. [ Surprise ] There Are No Asian Finger Prints On This Product. My Final Thoughts: With The EC - 3000's Unique Design, The Competition Needs To Beware, Because This Product Is Going To Rise To The Top Of The Hill And It Will Be A Force To Reconcile With. [ AIRGUNNERS ] Run For The Hills And Order Your HILL.

It is quite it, seems to run good, it took about a hour to fill up my 3l air tank. It look well built better then the Chinese compressors. (Time will tell) So far I like what I see
Things I would have changed:The fact that it took 43 days to get then recalled in 9 days.
What others should know:This is a full account from March 10th to May 18th. I ordered my compressor on the 10th of March with it saying it was 2 weeks out this continued to get bumped out till they got it on the 16th of April (37 days wait) & shipped it to me. I received it on the 22nd of April (43 days wait). I set it up the next day after work & it seem to work good, it was also a lot quieter then the Tuxing compressor that lasted 5 months from Amazon. Then I received a recall notice on the 1st of May (recalled 9 days later) to which I responded back too on the 4th of May (because of work schedule). I boxed it back up on the 6th of May (12 days of use) & Fed-Ex picked it up on 8th of May (off that day). It is now the 18th of May & I'm now getting hit with another fee. ($46.41 Brokerage fees to UPS) This is B.S. getting hit with another $50 fee after after spending $1000 & waiting almost 70 days that's hitting below the belt. That fee should have been covered because of the recall & under 30 days of owner ship. I also just opened the box and the thing has used oil in the crank & silicone oil all over the silicon unit. The water condensation unit is all scratched up. This is obviously a used unit. Now from the paper work is this just a temporary unit till they redo my unit or is this the replacement. If its the replacement it should be new, not someone else use unit. They know they have you since this is the only affordable compressor outside of buying Chinese (Good luck on what you get). I'm hoping that they take care of this fee because it's the right thing to do and that this ordeal that I had to deal with. I have all the e-mails to back up this whole story. The only good thing about this whole situation was Erica B. I don't know if she works for Pyramid Air or Air Venturi, but she tried very hard to make this exchange informative & up to date. So can't fault her. Cary V P.S. Waiting for my $46.41 to be reimbursed.

This pump seems to be very well built. It runs quiet as advertised. The built in safety features seem to work well so far. It tops up Airguns at at a good speed ... usually in a minute or so. I also wanted to see how well it would work for topping off my scuba tanks. My 100 cubic foot tank was at 2875 psi when it started and ended at 3600 psi in 1 1/2 hours. I did take it to its limit on a carbon fiber bottle rates at 4500 psi. It reached 4400 psi which is actually the max fill pressure that you can set it to. It didn't seem to struggle at all or even sound any louder then normal. The digital read out is very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend this pump as a good buy for anyone who is serious about pcp Airguns.
Things I would have changed:The only thing that I would recommend changing is to put some kind of cooling fins on the compressor head since it is air cooled. I will probably just make something for mine. It would cycle less if the head could disperse the heat better. It does have a cooling fan that blows on it already.
What others should know:Quality comes with a price... but this one in my opinion is worth the money.

Fast: It refills my Marauder in less than a minute. Self-lubricating: The silicone oil is in a reservoir that you top-off occasionally. A much easier setup than other compressors which require adding drops of oil through a port frequently. Digital display allows for easy and precise fill pressure settings. Not made in China. It is made in Britain. It works!
Things I would have changed:It is heavy and not easily portable. But I would rather have that then light weight and flimsy.
What others should know:The photos on the web page do not show the digital display. You can easily set a precise target pressure, and the compressor automatically turns off when that pressure is reached. The digital display is very easy to see versus the small dials on other compressors. Pyramyd Air is awesome. I bought two Nomads which were both defective. Pyramyd refunded my money with no hassles, and allowed me to switch to the Hill.

Not sure, haven't seen mine yet.
Things I would have changed:I would like to see a little less advance advertising and a little more availability. Not Pyramyd Air's fault, just the way things are.
What others should know:I find it interesting that although this machine is clearly branded Air Venturi, there is no mention of it on Air Venturi's website. I have ordered on based on the Hill name, waiting to see when I can expect to see it.
