Air Venturi Review: Air Venture/Hill EVO-310

[SPARATORE]

I recently received a new Air Venturi/Hill EVO-310, claimed as the upgrade to the Hill EC-3000. It is a solid, very well constructed compressor, that performs according to Published Specifications. It tops off my Marauder from 2000 to 3000 PSI in a few minutes and, will top off a 1.8-Liter Buddy-Bottle from 2000 to 4250 PSI in about 7 minutes. It's Cooling-Fan does a fine job during the Cool-Down Cycle, which runs for about 6-7 minutes before it shuts off. I augment the cooling with a 100 CFM Muffin-Fan directed at the Compressor Stages, when considering cooling air... More-is-Better.

I plan a follow-up review after I have used the unit for several months.

Well Mr Don, it's been a bunch more than a few months, still loving, liking (or hating) it?! I have had mine for a few weeks, finally used it this weekend to fill my S510 from zero to full and to top off my Ghost. I'd say it's about 9 times faster than my hand pump, but it's no beast. It's perfect for my uses though. Also.....this thing is BLINGY?! Got the Hill filter kit with (clearly) 3D printed mounts. Only thing I recommend is get a 90deg fitting, and a disconnect for your hose.

Very good idea about the 90deg fitting! Thnx for sharing!

I wanted that, the second I saw how silly it was that it came off the top like that. You would have to put your rifle on the table and compressor on the ground (which isn't a terrible idea re. moisture!) or buy a longer hose but I need it to fit in the home I'm building for it. Now after use I can pop off the hose, plug the compressor end fitting, and not have a dangling hose, asking to get damaged. Good mod for any small compressor Did it as well for my hand pump.
