There are few different models all with similar designs, out there that use that method and work fine.

I've still got a Veevor one bought a couple of years ago that adopts this method. It still functions.

Problem is the quality and safety of internal electrical components - and Veevor issued a recall on some versions, as they suffered from inadequate components that were a fire risk.

I'd be wary of this, and maybe look to a more reputable seller with some backup, in case things do go wrong.....but the design principles are fine......if you don't over use it.

Mine is used to fill a 300cc bottle on a FAC rifle, which is used occasionally and I don't shoot regularly with it, hence it lasting.
 
IIRC, these need a bit fo silicone oil every so often, but the Tuxing style (this one) arent bad. Exactly how good for the money is always th eworry, at that price its pushing it for me, but having sdaid that I wouldnt say no!

Would that be good enough to fill a small 100cc PCP rifle?
Would it possible to connect it to the mains instead of a car battery?

Thanks

To connect to the mains you would need a 12v supply capable of delivering the necessary 25amps. That's going to cost another £25-30. So that pump and supply will be around £115 with effectively no warrantee.

You might be better off looking at a tuxing from amazon (that comes with a power supply) and adding their 3 year warrantee - around £150 all in or £125 with one year's warantee. I would get one with a port to put a few drops of silicon oil in every 1.5 hours.

The Vevor compressor with integrated transformer failed a Trading Standards check due to a spade connector on the internal earth (a connection formerly used in many UK appliances but no longer compliant with electrical safety regs.) which was very simple to fix. If buying Tuxing clones from Aliexpress it might be sensible to do an electrical safety check and/or use only if RCD protected.

A digression: I bought a replacement heating element for an oven. The original had a spade earth connector. The replacement had no earth connection at all... the UK manufacturer's solution to solving the non-compliance. 😂
 
I paid less than that for my Wulf compressor, and was not told it needed.....anything really except a change of filter on the hose every now and then. It doesn't see a lot of use ( only 4 PCPs out of 12 guns, and not a lot of space to shoot them anyway) but it's running fine on zero maintenance so far...
 
Have a good watch of this and make your own mind up 😉 some is surprisingly well built ,some not so much
My one would have failed bs testing on the power supply bit I've not killed myself with it yet... 😬

 
I have had a Vevor one for a while now and it works fine. After I read some accounts about safety and them not being up to UK standards I tested the earthing on mine and it tested OK so I'm not sure what else could be dangerous if it's earthed OK.

The earthing will normally pass testing. The reason for failing the UK safety standards is the spade connector could become detached, especially as the compressor vibrates, which could result in the case becoming unearthed. This is easily fixed by soldering or putting a screw through the connector. It's located at the back of the "kettle lead" socket.

If the case ever became live you would be protected by the RCD in your consumer unit. I'm guessing there are still old domestic installations in UK which aren't RCD protected. You most likely wouldn't be if running the compressor off a cheap generator.
 
I am also considering just getting a hand pump (Vevor 3 state for around £30). It is for a Stoeger XM1 with just 100cc capacity and mainly back garden use, so I think I can go from 150 from 200 bars with around 30 pumps from what I saw on YouTube. That should last for around 40 shots and then another 30 seconds of pumping.
