Here is the link sorry

Also forgot to mention the big heavy plastic case it comes in won't fit under the seat where I used to keep my old one.

Cheers Wazaaaa,

Great to get 1st hand feedback, was worried no-one would know about them yet. How long have you had it mate?

Mark, had quick look but can't find the receipt but it would only be about 6 months, but from experence in that time all I can say is it is awsome. When I bring it out at the beach I cop a bit from mates, I think it has something to do with "mines bigger than yours" thing, I take it as though they are jealious. Not that it is out as long as theirs, 150 ltrs per min. blows the tyres up nearly as good as the servo.

Hi Wazzaaa,

Good to know that you are happy with the Typhoon. Cannot see how they can justify the price tho'

I bought one from the Adelaide 4wd show a couple of weeks ago for $180.oo, and I guess that they must have made a profit too.

Have not used it in anger yet but impressed by the specs.

Michael when I was pricing arround I saw then dearer as much as $ 379. How much are they making. Is yours a Projecta as I saw similar but no brand for less on ebay

Mornin' wazzaaa,

The price reductions/fluctuations of some items do make you wonder just how much profit some people make.

I had been looking for another compressor and had given E-bay a cursory look and saw a Typhoon listed.

One of the first things that I saw at the Adelaide 4wd show was a Typhoon compressor, and yes made by Projecta.

Had not had any experience with this brand, however the show price was $170.oo (not $180.oo -just checked the invoice). Given the specifications it seemed to be a worthwhile purchase.

As you say, it comes in a really good hard carry case too, not a problem for me as it doesn't make much of a dent in the Troopy.

Tried it out when we got home and it pumped up a couple of tyres from 10psi to 35psi in a minute or two and did not raise a sweat.......

Time will tell I guess but most compressors seem to be cloned from a master one somewhere!!

BTW the company was Independant Battery Distributors based in Adelaide.

Cheers

Hey Mozza,

Are you referring to the Pro Air or the Power Air. The Power Air is $99 and Pro Air $250 according to their website. Was thinking about the smaller one early on as its had good reviews and is a great price but thought she might be too small for larger tyres. Pumping tyres is all I want it for.

Cheers,

Mark.

Yeah sorry about that .. Power Air II is the correct model. seriously if your only using it for tyres .. it would do the job fine. personal choice in the end i guess. If you going for value for money that that would be my pick hands down.

G'day Gav,

I'm heading to the Melbourne 4x4 Show this weekend so I'll check them out for sure, that's a great saving to be had. Their website says a RRP of $390, you do wonder exactly what they pay for them if they can cut out $100+ at the shows.

Cheers,

Mark.

Hi Rob

Got one of them myself and in timed tests it does the job as well , however its not as good in quality and in mine the plastic hose weren't as good as Bush ranger d but in terms of value for money the Big W one is a real winner espically as its no questions asked if you take it back in the first year if you don't like , and after a few uses you should no if its any good or not.

I still always carry a back up , which for me is an air transfer hose.

They come from the same factory as the Max air but do not have the same quality internal components and the Max air has a 5 year warranty.
I agree they are still good for occasional use

cya there Sunday

Hey Bonz what is the "BonzInc dual battery setup"?

It means that its one I made uo myself with a RedArc relay and made up the leads etc myself, snagged a cheap battery tray and got someone to donate me a battery, all up less than $200 and its away, since then I have replaced the battery with a marine battery, sort of a hybrid deep cycle and starting battery, which I managed to hole before I even got it into the car, but hey thats a hole other story.
