The best weldinger air compressors, compared.
Top pick: SDKEHUI 300 W Best value: Draper 02115 6 L – Lowest price among listings at 4.3 or above with at least 100 reviews, at about £102.27, with a stated 97 dB. Updated October 2026.
A search for a WELDINGER air compressor on amazon.co.uk does not return a WELDINGER-branded machine in this batch. The brand's German FK range is an oil-free workshop compressor that typically cuts out around 8 or 9 bar. These UK shelves hold four oil-free workshop tanks and seven pumps listed up to 300 bar. About 100 to 118 psi suits tyres, nailers, and light spraying. About 4,500 psi is a pre-charged air-rifle fill. A workshop tank does not fill a rifle, and a pump does not run a garage airline. That split is the [workshop tank versus pump](/hub/compressors/weldinger-air-compressor/sub/weldinger-air-compressor-workshop-vs-pcp) guide.

Question 1 of 2
What are you trying to run?
The SDKEHUI 300 W listing is a portable PCP pump at about £125.99, stated to 300 bar, with manual shut-off, a cooling fan, and an 8 mm hose. The amazon.co.uk line is 5.0 from a single review. That review says it is an improvement on hand pumping a PCP rifle, and that it is not silent. There is no second opinion on faults, fill time, or whether the 220 V supply arrives with a UK 13 A plug. The included line lists a 12 V battery cable, an AC power supply, and a high-pressure hose, and the stated size is 20 x 17 x 12.5 cm at 6.89 kg. Oil-free and noise are both absent from the kept specification fields. A bullet refers to a 0.5 litre cylinder under the seller's stated test conditions, which is the seller's claim, not a result from these reviews. Treat the five stars as one person's note, not a score you can set beside 1,072 Hyundai reviews.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A reader comparing PCP prices who will not treat one five-star review as evidence.
Less suitable: A first PCP pump you need other owners to have described, or any 8 bar workshop job.
Specifications
Common questions
Is 5.0 a reliable score?
The listing shows 5.0 from one UK review. That review calls it an improvement on hand pumping. It is not a large sample.
Does it shut off by itself?
No. The bullet says manual shut-off. You watch the gauge and switch it off when you reach the pressure you need.
What is it for?
The listing names PCP air rifles, air pistols, HPA tanks and paintball cylinders. It is not an 8 bar workshop tank.
The Hyundai HY7524X is a 24 litre oil-free compressor listed at 750 W, with a bullet pressure of 118 psi (8 bar) and a stated sound level of 60 dB. It carries the strongest workshop review line in this set: 4.6 from 1,072 amazon.co.uk reviews, from people using it for hobby woodturning, airbrushing, and light spraying. Wheels, a carry handle, twin gauges, a regulator, an automatic cut-out, and a condensate trap are on the listing, and the unit weighs 22 kg. A 13 A UK plug is not named, only 230 V, so you still have to check the plug on the lead. One reviewer wanted more than about 100 psi or 7 bar for a brad nailer, which sits near the listing's own limit. Another found manufacturing shot in a new tank, and a thread leak on a quick connector at full pressure. The airflow line also splits: the table says 2.65 CFM and a bullet says 5.2 CFM and 150 litres per minute.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A home workshop that wants a wheeled 24 L tank for light spraying and short air-tool runs.
Less suitable: A brad nailer that needs a clear margin above about 7 bar, or a buyer who will not check the plug.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing state a UK 13 A plug?
It states 230 V. Unlike the 8 L Hyundai, the bullets do not say a 13 A UK plug. Check the plug before you rely on it.
Can it be used for spraying?
The bullet names spray painting, tyre inflation, nailing and air tools. It is a 24 L workshop tank, not a 300 bar PCP pump.
Why are there two airflow figures?
The bullet says 5.2 CFM and 150 litres per minute. The table says 2.65 CFM. The listing does not say which is free air delivery.
The Hyundai HY5508X is an 8 litre oil-free workshop compressor listed at 550 W, with a stated ceiling of 100 psi and a stated sound level of 60 dB. Across 989 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.5 stars, readers use it for tyres, dusting, and short bursts on air tools, and many say it is quieter indoors than the older compressor they replaced. The listing states a standard 13 A UK plug, which is rare in this batch, and it states a 2-year warranty. The tank is only 8 litres, so the motor restarts if you stay on a tool. The included-components line is the compressor itself: reviewers say the hose and tyre chuck are not in the box, and one put extra fittings near £25. The specification table prints 2 cubic centimetres per minute while a bullet says 4 CFM and 120 litres per minute, so the table figure is not a usable airflow. Transit damage also recurs, including an inlet filter crushed because it was tied to the handle.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Indoor DIY where you want a stated UK plug, and jobs that only need short bursts of air.
Less suitable: Continuous spraying, or anyone who expects a hose and a tyre chuck in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this Hyundai come with a UK plug?
The listing bullet says it is supplied with a standard 13 A UK plug. Reviews say the hose and tyre chuck are not in the box.
Is the HY5508X oil-free?
Yes. The listing calls it oil-free. That means you do not add pump oil. It does not mean the air is dry.
Which airflow figure should you read?
The bullet says 4 CFM and 120 litres per minute. The specification table says 2 cubic centimetres per minute. Both are on the listing. The table figure is not a credible output.
The HYCHIKA is a 24 litre oil-free tank listed at 230 V and up to 8 bar, priced at about £124.84. The 27 amazon.co.uk reviews average 4.5, and the ones that name a job mention a small spray gun, tyres, and inflatables, often calling it quieter than an older compressor. Two wheels and two handles are how you move it. The weight is not settled, because the bullet says 16.7 kg and the table says 21.8 kg. Noise is split the same way, at 62 dB in the table and 68 dB in a bullet, and airflow is 60 litres per minute in the table against 160 litres per minute intake in the title. One review says the unit smoked and smelt of burning on day one, and that buyer replaced it elsewhere. Other reviews describe ordinary DIY, so this is a small sample with a serious fault in it, rather than a settled reliability record. A 13 A UK plug is not named.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who wants a lower-priced 24 L tank and will accept a thin review sample.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a settled fault record, or a listing whose weight and airflow agree.
Specifications
Common questions
How much does the HYCHIKA weigh?
The bullet says 16.7 kg. The specification table says 21.8 kg. Both figures are on the listing.
What noise level is stated?
The table says 62 dB. A bullet says 68 dB. Neither figure was measured for this comparison.
Did reviews report a fault?
One UK review says the compressor smoked and smelt of burning on day one. Other reviews describe normal DIY use. There are 27 reviews in total.
The Draper 02115 is a 6 litre oil-free compressor at about £102.27, the lowest workshop price in this batch, listed at 1.2 kW, 116 psi, and 185 litres per minute. Across 335 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.3 stars, readers use it for short jobs, including farm punctures and finish nailers in bursts, and some praise simple controls. The specification table states 97 dB, and noise is the complaint that comes back, including returns for that reason. Six litres runs out quickly, so the motor restarts if you stay on the tool. The included-components line is the compressor only, and spray users say they needed extra connectors. A pressure switch and a Euro coupling are stated. A BS 1363 plug is not, only 230 V and a 1.7 m cable in the title. At 8.78 kg it is the lightest workshop tank here, once you fit the handle that some reviews say arrives loose.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Short tyre and nailer bursts where the price matters and you can tolerate the stated noise.
Less suitable: A shared garage, indoor evening work, or a spray job that needs a long continuous supply of air.
Specifications
Common questions
How loud is the Draper listing?
The specification table says 97 dB. Reviews often call it noisy, and some readers returned it for that reason.
Does it need oil?
The listing says it is oil-free. Included components are the compressor only, so do not assume a hose is in the box.
Is 6 litres enough for spraying?
Reviews say the tank suits short bursts. A whole-panel spray job is outside what those reviews describe.
This second TXES062 listing costs about £179.90 and shows 4.2 from 161 amazon.co.uk reviews, the strongest PCP star line in the set with more than 100 reviews. A bullet states auto shut-off, a dual display of pressure and temperature, and a converter for 220 V outlets plus 12 V clamps. The specification table says 110 V AC, so the voltage you receive is not a settled fact on the page. One UK review describes a 450 ml rifle bottle in about 10 to 12 minutes, against a seller timing of about 25 minutes for a 1.0 litre tank from 0 to 300 bar. The capacity field on this ASIN is 0.3 litres, while the other TXES062 lists 2 litres. An updated review says a unit broke within days, and that customer service did not know the product. The hose is called short, and the listing puts it at 0.5 m.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A PCP or paintball fill if you check the voltage plate on the unit you receive.
Less suitable: Anyone who treats 110 V in the table as ready for a UK socket, or who wants one merged TXES062 score.
Specifications
Common questions
Which voltage is on the listing?
The specification table says 110 V AC. A bullet says a converter for 220 V outlets and 12 V battery clamps. Check the unit you receive.
What is the stated fill time?
The seller says about 25 minutes for a 1.0 litre tank from 0 to 300 bar. One UK review describes a 450 ml rifle bottle in about 10 to 12 minutes.
Is the capacity the same as the other TXES062?
This ASIN's capacity field is 0.3 litres. The other TXES062 ASIN lists 2 litres. Do not merge them.
The SDKEHUI 350 W pump is the dearest listing in the batch at about £220.15, and the title states a UK plug, alongside 230 V and 12 V, up to 300 bar. Fifteen amazon.co.uk reviews average 4.1. Buyers whose unit worked say it filled PCP airguns in a few minutes and was not unbearably loud, with one reaching about 250 bar. One review says the unit stopped at 3,000 psi rather than the advertised 4,500 psi. Another arrived with a transformer wire disconnected, which the buyer reconnected. The auto-stop bullet mixes a preset pressure and a preset temperature, so the wording does not tell you which limit actually stops the motor. At 10 kg, with a 1-year warranty on the listing and only 15 reviews, this is a thin record for the highest price.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who wants a title that says UK plug and will check the pressure the unit actually reaches.
Less suitable: Anyone treating 15 reviews as a reliability record, or a workshop tank job.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the title say UK plug?
Yes. The title includes the words UK plug, and the voltage field says 230 V AC as well as 12 V.
Does it reach 4,500 psi?
The listing says 4,500 psi. One of the UK reviews says the unit only reached 3,000 psi. That is one review, not a lab test.
How does the auto-stop wording read?
The bullet mixes a preset pressure and a preset temperature. Read the manual on the unit you receive before you rely on it.
This SDKEHUI pump is a manual-stop PCP compressor at about £132, listed at 300 W, 220 V or 12 V, and 300 bar, with a stated 80 dB. The listing tells you to watch the gauge and switch off at 30 MPa, then bleed the pressure slowly. Across 35 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.0 stars, some buyers say it is easier than a hand pump and report a fast fill, including about two minutes on one gun. The safety reports in that small sample are severe. One review says the unit exploded and the gauge left the housing, narrowly missing an eye. Others describe heat within about two minutes, a burning smell, and exposed mains terminals on the power supply. A 13 A UK plug is not stated. Stop using a unit that runs hot, smells of burning, or lets the gauge leave the housing.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only a buyer who will stay at the gauge and will stop if the unit runs hot or smells of burning.
Less suitable: Unattended fills, workshop tools, or anyone who wants a pump that stops itself.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this model stop automatically?
No. The title says manual-stop. The listing tells you to watch the gauge and switch off at 30 MPa, then bleed the pressure slowly.
What safety problems are in the reviews?
One review says the unit exploded and the gauge left the housing. Others describe heat within about two minutes and exposed mains terminals on the power supply. Stop using a unit that does that.
Is it oil-free?
The listing says oil-free and that no external water pump is required. Moisture in the air is a separate issue.
The TUXING TXES061 is the most reviewed PCP pump here, at 3.9 from 737 amazon.co.uk reviews, priced at about £152.99 and listed to 300 bar. Readers who moved off a stirrup pump describe rifle fills, including one empty-to-232-bar example, and some call it quieter than they expected. The included-components line lists a home power line, a car power line, an oil/water separator, and a repair kit, and the table weight is 7 kg. Auto shut-off is not stated, and reviewers say not to leave it running unattended. The table says 110 V and 300 W, while a bullet says 250 W and 110 V or 220 V AC, or 12 V DC. One review says the power supply failed within minutes while the pump still ran from a car battery, and another says the 12 V transformer was extra. The recommended-uses field says tyre inflation, which does not match the PCP bullets.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A PCP rifle fill where you want a large review sample and you will stay with the pump.
Less suitable: An 8 bar nailer, or a fill you intend to leave running while you do something else.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a workshop compressor?
No. The bullets describe a PCP pump for air rifles and paintball. The recommended-uses field says tyre inflation, which does not match those bullets.
What power lead is included?
The included-components line lists a home power line, a car power line, a separator and a repair kit. One review says the 12 V transformer was extra.
What failed in reviews?
One review says the power supply failed within minutes, while the pump still ran from a car battery. Other reviews report ordinary rifle fills.
This TUXING TXES062 listing is a 350 W PCP pump at about £169, stated to 300 bar, with auto-stop in the title and a voltage table of 220 V. The seller's own timing says a 0.5 litre container took 11 minutes, and a 1 litre container from 0 psi to 3,000 psi took 26 minutes. Among 90 amazon.co.uk reviews at 3.8 stars, buyers who wanted an alternative to a stirrup pump cite the auto-stop and the cable spool, and one describes a direct mains fill in a few minutes. It is a separate ASIN from the other TXES062, which prints 110 V in the table and a different price. Reviews also say it is noisy while filling, and that extra adaptors were needed, including what one reviewer called an EU adaptor. Two failure reports sit in the kept signals: one unit died after seven months of light use, and another around 20 hours. One reviewer says you still switch it off by unplugging, with auto-stop described as a needle on the gauge.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A PCP rifle fill from a stated 220 V supply, if you want auto-stop on the listing and can spend about £169.
Less suitable: A workshop airline, or a buyer who treats this ASIN and the other TXES062 as one product.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the only TXES062 listing?
No. ASIN B0C4Y9T3RD uses the same model string, at a different price, with a 110 V table value. Treat them as separate listings.
How long does the seller say a fill takes?
The bullet says a 0.5 litre container took 11 minutes, and a 1 litre container from 0 psi to 3,000 psi took 26 minutes. That is the seller's timing, not a test here.
Does it include a UK plug?
A 13 A UK plug is not stated. The power line is 12 V or 220 V with a converter. One review mentions buying extra adaptors.
The TUXING TX is a PCP pump listed to 300 bar (4,500 psi), not an 8 bar workshop tank, at about £130.99 with a 250 W motor and a 0.5 litre capacity field. It is the lowest-rated listing in the batch, at 3.6 from 40 amazon.co.uk reviews. Buyers whose unit worked say it fills a PCP and is small, at 6.7 kg, with an 8 mm connector and a filter in the box. Auto shut-off is not stated, so you watch the gauge yourself. One review describes touchable live parts on the mains input of the external power supply. Another found the hose wet with condensation after two uses, and a further review says the pump failed after a couple of fills. The power line is 220 V or 12 V, and a 13 A UK plug is not stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A PCP fill only if you will watch the gauge and you accept a thin, low rating.
Less suitable: Workshop nailers, and anyone who will not inspect the mains lead before plugging in.
Specifications
Common questions
Will this fill a workshop nailer?
No. It is a PCP high-pressure pump listed to 300 bar, not an 8 bar tank compressor.
Does it stop by itself?
Auto shut-off is not stated in the bullets kept from this listing. Watch the gauge.
What did UK reviews say about the power supply?
One review says live parts on the mains input could be touched. Another describes a hose wet with condensation. Those are review reports, not a repair guide.
We compared 11 amazon.co.uk listings kept under a WELDINGER air compressor search on 15 October 2026. None of them is branded WELDINGER. Prices, stars, and review counts are the UK listing figures. Conflicts are kept, not averaged. There was no lab test. The four weights below sum to 100.
Amazon stars, damped by review count
40%Star points are the amazon.co.uk rating over 5, times 40, then multiplied by a sample factor: 0.4 under 10 ratings, 0.7 from 10 to 49, 0.9 from 50 to 199, and 1.0 from 200 upwards.
Listing clarity
20%Type, maximum pressure, and a voltage earn the base. A stated 13 A UK plug, auto shut-off, and an oil-free claim with a connector add points. Hard conflicts, mixed auto-stop wording, and a current figure with no side stated take points off.
Price

Job fit, minus recurring UK review faults
20%Reviews have to describe the stated job. Quiet-use comments, a stated UK plug, wheels, a clear auto-stop, or a described rifle fill can add points. Stated 97 dB, a small tank, a missing hose, day-one smoke, no auto-stop on a 300 bar pump, and a thin sample take points off.
Start with the job, then delivered air, then noise and the plug. A tool's airflow demand, and what to do when a listing prints two figures, is set out in [free air delivery explained](/hub/compressors/blog/free-air-delivery-explained). The notes below follow the order used for these eleven listings.
A WELDINGER air compressor, in the brand's German FK range, is an oil-free workshop machine that typically cuts out around 8 or 9 bar. This amazon.co.uk batch does not contain a WELDINGER-branded ASIN. It contains four oil-free workshop tanks and seven PCP pumps listed up to 300 bar. You tell them apart by the job. A workshop tank does not fill a PCP rifle, and a PCP pump does not run a garage airline.
No ASIN in this batch is branded WELDINGER. A German euro price for an FK model is not the UK shelf price. Read the brand on the amazon.co.uk page you are about to buy.
Workshop cards here sit around 8 bar. PCP cards are listed to 300 bar. One does not do the other job. A pump that does not state auto shut-off still needs you at the gauge.
Several cards print two airflow numbers. Keep both. Do not assume a hose is included unless the contents line says so. A 5.0 from one review is not stronger than 4.6 from 1,072 reviews.
The first split is the job. A workshop tank in this set does not fill a PCP rifle, and a PCP pump does not run a garage airline. Workshop cards sit around 8 bar, about 100 to 118 psi, for tyres, nailers, and light spraying. PCP cards are listed to 300 bar. Many rifle fills sit around 200 to 300 bar. Delivered air comes next, then tank litres. Sealey's guide says to start from the tool's CFM and treat litres as stored air. Keep both numbers when a listing disagrees with itself.
Stated noise is a claim. Hyundais state 60 dB. PCP pumps state 78 or 80 dB. The Draper table states 97 dB, and reviews often cite that noise as a reason to return it. HYCHIKA states 62 dB and 68 dB in different fields. Nothing here was measured for this page. The Noise at Work Regulations 2005 set employer action values at 80 dB(A) and 85 dB(A). A hobby garage is not automatically work. UK mains are 230 V and domestic plugs are BS 1363.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a wheeled 24 L oil-free tank for short air-tool runs, airbrushing, or light spraying. The strongest large review sample in this set is 4.6 from 1,072 reviews. Check the plug: the listing states 230 V and does not name a 13 A UK plug.
You want the lowest workshop price for tyres or a finish nailer in short bursts, and you can tolerate a stated 97 dB. The tank is 6 L, so the motor restarts if you stay on the tool. A hose is not in the included components.
You are filling a pre-charged air rifle, not running a nailer. This card states auto-stop and a 220 V table, at about £169, with 3.8 from 90 reviews. It is a separate listing from the other TXES062, which prints 110 V in the table.
None of these eleven amazon.co.uk listings is a WELDINGER. The top pick for a wheeled 24 L workshop tank is the Hyundai HY7524X at about £149.95, on 4.6 from 1,072 reviews, with a stated 60 dB, a regulator, and an automatic cut-out. A 13 A plug is not named, and the airflow figures disagree. The best value is the Draper 02115 at about £102.27, the lowest price among listings at 4.3 or above with at least 100 reviews. Its stated 97 dB is why a quiet garage may skip that label. A PCP fill belongs only on the 300 bar cards, and a 5.0 from one review is not a reliability record.
Draper 02115 6 L
Lowest price among listings at 4.3 or above with at least 100 reviews, at about £102.27, with a stated 97 dB.
