Air Venturi Air Compressor, Electric, 4500 PSI/300 Bar

Great product One of the best air compressor for air rifles after

Pros
Very fast and powerful Worth the money

Cons
Little too heavy

Well build and well perform. Air freedom gives me a much enjoyable shooting experience.

This is a very well-built compressor. You’re better off making the choice to just purchase this and leave all the headaches behind. I bought this compressor and a large tank with the very helpful advice from Doug in sales. Well worth the investment.

I am very happy with this compressor. It was taking me two hours of drive time to fill my tanks, and I wasn't even getting full fills. This compressor is a game changer. I now get full 4500 psi tank fills, and shoot as much as I want. They should come with a warning label though, as my pellet consumption has skyrocketed. Airgun Depot has me covered there as well though.

Pros
Quick, easy fills, and lots more shooting

Cons
A bit expensive, but buy once, cry once

I’m semi new to PCP air gunning but this year I helped a friend in need along with my elderly neighbor both with flooring projects. Friend was at the hospital for a month with a premie, neighbor installed 1/3 of his flooring wrong and had to remove and start over wasting hundreds. I couldn’t let a friend get home with a newborn to an unfinished home and my defeated neighbor I could relate because I’ve made costly mistakes and just had to pitch in. Surprise they both got home to complete new finished floors and clean houses. I’d never accept a penny from either even if they were insulted by that. They both conspired together to hook me up a week before Christmas with several carbon fiber tanks, ammunition, a new Hatsan Bully 30 cal and boxes of other goodies but best of all this compressor. No more trips to the fire station or hand pumps. Better still my days at the range or in the field aren’t limited By lack of air just not enough ammunition.

Pros
Packaging was awesome and dent free. Box is tough with rugged carry handles and tightly packed with ridged foam boards. I?ve read the bad reviews and it shouldn?t be put on AGD or A.V. because you?d have to dump this package off a moving truck to damage the contents. That?s all on the shipping company. Ease of use and essentials video made setting up a breeze. The short time from zero to 4500 to full on 88ci, 75cf and 98cf in the specs are dead on along with top off fill times. Wishing I bought this when it came out. The auto off feature is awesome. I?m never far from filling station at my house but it came in handy once. I?m usually right at my workbench while filling working on filling mags or cleaning barrels or tuning but this feature works if you need a bathroom or fridge break so no worries. 4+hrs of initial run time for my first fills with little or no breaks and a quick oil change, compressor never got near the temperature it said in the manual to shut down and trouble shoot. It was actually 20 degrees cooler than that temperature. Oil was cool enough to dip my hand in during the change. Awesome machine!

Cons
First I wish this had an hour meter. I?m keeping a log of runtime but what my friends paid for this great gift an hour meter is a short ask. Second I?m in the construction field and have bought several compressors, generators and other gas operated equipment and never did I have to run to the store to buy my first container of oil. Always less than a quart and an exact measured container of oil came standard in the box with inexpensive equipment to high end. So this was incredibly odd to me. Not really a complaint but others might find this helpful, I?ve always maintained my equipment, (notice I changed the oil after the first 4hr run) it?s expensive so the better you treat it the longer it lasts. My 3 job site compressors purchased in the mid 90?s lasted decades and are still running today because I do the required maintenance early and always kept them running out of the weather and in as much of a dust free area as possible. I set my new A.V. compressor up in a spare bedroom because my garage and basement are unheated and very dusty. If you are running this inside your house please make sure that you are in a well ventilated room with the door closed on a level floor. Don?t overfill the oil. Put the one third quart in run the 10min dry run check and add oil if necessary (another friend running his newly purchased compressor in basement watched a YouTube video and put a half quart into the machine, needless to say his home stunk for months). I vented my room with a fan pulling air out one window and another fan pulling in through another window because the oils burning off can really permeate the rest of your home/clothes/carpet/furniture and make people very unhappy. No foul odors here! The smell is hard to remove so run with open windows and fans if possible. I filled four tanks and 3 guns after the 10 minute dry run so I was running for about 4+hrs straight. Other than no hour meter and lack of oil in the box, nothing.

this item meets all my needs for charging for myself an customers , just started an air gun service for local shooters with pcp equiptment

Pros
ease of operation and setup, not much noise, availability of accesories

Cons
none at this time

This has been working very well and is easy to fill all the tanks with. The pressure setting on it comes in very handy for what needs to be filled at different pressure settings.

Hi everyone, I watched a bunch of videos before I bought this compressor. I remember that none of them showed filling an empty tank. So here's my experience, a 90ci took about 13 minutes. When I put the tank in water it was closer to 10 minutes. I then filled my scuba tank 80cf it was 45 minutes. The smaller tank out of water got seriously warm but not hot. So far I like the unit. I used to use 3000 psi in my blackbird but now with 4500psi it's like a new gun.

Pros
Easy to use. I like the digital temperature display.

Cons
I haven't used it enough to say anything bad

The Air Venturi arrived with only slight damage to the container. Setup was easy and unit appears to be well made. I have only used it one time to top off AV 74cu ft. tank from 4100 to 4500 psi. This fill only took a matter of minutes and the compressor did it without any problems.

Pros
The obvious benefit to having your own compressor is the ability to keep shooting without the worry of having to either hand pump your gun or run to the dive shop. It will take me some time to realize how convenient this is and to stop being miserly with my air. The only restriction to air gunning now is the number of pellets you possess. I own 3 pcp air rifles, one of which likes a lot of air and likes to be kept between 2000 and 2500 psi. I can now test pellets and bullets as much as I care to.

Cons
I could say that the price is a little high and perhaps out of range of some shooters, but I don't own a bass boat or a golf cart, and air gunning is my main vice so I will only offer a mild complaint on the price.

Unlike some earlier reviews, my compressor arrived in perfect shape and undamaged. Packaging was more than adequate, and amounted to a rigid shipping container that protected the compressor perfectly. The construction is very good and appears to be designed for easy operation. Instructions were well-written and easy to follow, although left several questions unanswered. So far I've used to fill my AirForce Condor and Air Venturi 90 cu tanks, and was surprised how quickly it fills. I thought the price was high until my local scuba shop owner said that such a compressor would cost thousands more. After filling the Condor tank a couple times and trying to fill the Air Venturi tank with a Hill hand pump, buying this compressor was a no-brainer. I especially like the pressure cut-off setting on the meter. It's very easy to use and is very accurate. I don't particularly like that the cooling system switch remains illuminated whenever the AC cord is plugged in, but I expect the power wasted is probably miniscule, and having the switch illuminated makes it less likely one would forget to start the cooling system before the compressor pump. I'd like to see an hour meter and an AC cord storage reel added.

Pros
Speed of operation - fills tanks much faster than I expected. Quiet operation - considerably quieter than my shop air compressor. Fit and finish is excellent. Manual is well-written and easy to follow. Setup is straightforward and easy. Pressure cut-off is easy to use and works very accurately.

Cons
No hour meter - would be useful to schedule required maintenance. Manual doesn't specify to use distilled water in the water reservoir, but a call to the manufacturer revealed it should. Manual doesn't address whether synthetic oil of the recommended weight can be used, but a call to the manufacturer revealed it could. No provisions to store the AC power cord - a reel or hooks on the frame would provide a place to store the cord when not in use. The cooling system switch remains illuminated when the compressor is plugged in to an AC outlet even when not in use.
