Air Venturi Nomad II Portable Compressor, 4500 PSI

Words matter and details are important.

Pros
I'm a retired electrical engineer and was preparing to place my order for a Nomad II air compressor. But after reading device details I must seriously question the accuracy of the information provided. Any experienced electrician or engineer or most individuals with common sense will explain, 95% of all electrical circuits in your home are 15amp, > Any device plugged into a 15 amp receptacle will trip the breaker if the device draws 12.75 amps or more. > Any device plugged into a 20 amp receptacle will trip the circuit breaker if that device draws 17 amps or more. . Circuit breaker are designed to TRIP at 85% of their rated value, refer to the national electrical code and the circuit breaker trip ratings. If this compressor actually draws between 20-22 amps, it won't work on your house's wiring protected bye a 15amp or 20 amp breaker, it will trip the breaker every time. If the compressor is connected to a 12v auto battery and draws between 20-22 amps it may damage the compressor.

Cons
Draws way to many amps for a house circuit or a 12vdc automobile battery as suggested.

For someone who needs a way to fill a Airforce Texan on weekend shooting and tired of filling larger air tanks, I think this is the way to go for me. Everybody not the same but for me I love it.

Pros
Overall easy to use, works great. Did a line test first thing and the compressor went 200 bar fast. I think I made the right choice.

Cons
No cons. unboxed the compressor and had no issues. Nothing out of order with the unit. I had watched so many Nomad 2 reviews that I new what to look for.

Very well built

Pros
Great little compressor. Good value.

Cons
Not really a con, but it is a little on the loud side

I have a review on this compressor on the Western Mass PCP Rifle Club YouTube channel @westernmasspcp

Pros
Great little compressor! This thing is very compact and easy to carry around. This compressor fills my 580cc bottle in under 3 minutes! That pretty good considering the Benjamin Recharge fills that same tank in about 1.5 minutes. Highly recommend this compressor.

Cons
If possible It would be nice if the compressor could be sent with a small bottle of compressor oil so the end user could use it as soon as they receive the order.

New replacement compressor has operated flawlessly for 40 fills on my 3 pcp rifles. Too bad the first compressor failed. I would have rated the Nomad II with 5 stars instead of 4. I rate Air Gun Depot 5 stars.

Pros
A very compact, moderately quiet, operates on both 120 volts AC and 12 volts DC, easy to use with a good operation manual, plus a very nice carry case.

Cons
My first compressor failed half-way thru the fifth fill on my Condor SS. I followed the operation manual and used 100% silicon RWS Air Chamber Lube. I contacted Air Gun Depot and they sent me a pre-paid shipping label, I shipped the unit back and within 6 days had a new replacement compressor. Talk about a first class company, customer service was out standing, will continue to deal with this company for my air gun needs.

After 15 months it stopped working compressor connecting rod broke I did all routine maintenance as directed and it still didn't hold up Other than the cheap quality components it did work well for the 15 months

It’s illogical to buy this if you only can fill the rifle tank and not other tanks. I bought this and mentioned to sales that I was happy that I can use this without having to fill tanks again and they didn’t say anything to me! That is upsetting

Pros
Can fill rifle tank.

Cons
Cannot fill other tanks that are bigger such as 100cu 4500PSI

The price of the compressor and the reviews made me think I was getting a good product but in fact I received a new compressor with a quality control tag on it and right next to the tag was a defective part. The transparent window that keeps dirt out of the digital readout was loose in the compressor. Returned for exchange to get a new one cause if that was broken who knows what else is broken inside. Got my new one and the same part on it is broken. Called in and they told me to glue it back on. Got to love it when they tell you to fix your brand new $700 dollar product.

Pros
None

Cons
They don?t take the time to check the product thoroughly and make sure it?s good to go and put together with quality care

Bought this a few years ago back. I only used it about twice a month for just over a year. I plugged it in and it finally seized up on me and broke the connecting rod. Since it was just pass a-year-old the warranty expired. I did some research and found a new compressor to purchase. A Yong Heng 4500 PSI for only $275. I have well over a 100 fill ups and no problem and easy to find parts if needed, very fast fill up as well. Air Gun Depot should carry these.

Pros
None.

Cons
Can?t find parts and way to expensive. Need to plug in and out of the socket to turn off completely.

The build quality and ease of use are exceptional. Compact, relatively light and quiet with quick setup / breakdown. Yes, there are plenty of cheaper compressors on the market but most require water cooling, are heavy, noisy, and lack auto shutoff. Only negatives are longer fill times and shorter runtimes. Not an issue for the casual user at all.

Pros
Amazing build quality Easy to use Compact & light No water cooling necessary Really, really cool

Cons
Not the fastest filler Not meant for large volume fills Limited run time between cool off shutdowns
