Can anyone recommend a good all around air compressor, I have been searching but the range goes from 200$US-1200$US and im afraid I dont know much about them. I just got a Renegade Krome and would like to get a compressor that will last me. Also according to the info I have read I would like to find one with everything included such as a tank, moisture trap, etc...thanks in advance

I have the TC-20 and it has performed admirably for the past 4 (I think, maybe 3) years. I have experienced no issues with pulsing from not having a reservoir tank and have had no mechanical issues. Great buy for our purposes! Even Ken from Badger recommends those types and says we don't really need the reservoir as long as our hose is long enough. I have a 10ft braided hose by the way, with quick disconnect for H&S Infinity and Iwata HP-CS...

I also have the TC-20 from TCP Global. It started to act up after about a year but it has a two year warranty. They replaced it with zero hassle....I did not even pay for shipping and I kept the old compressor which still works but I can't run it for lengthy sessions.

I've been researching compressors myself and that TC-20T has overwhelmingly positive reviews amongst a large swath of mini painters. Seems like it's the clear pick unless you're willing to spend hundreds of dollars more.
