That Aztek looks plasticy and doesnt have a reservoir, its a diaphragm compressror as well, ill admit to knowing nothing about these so cant tell you if theyre any good for hobby stuff. This is the AS186 model most of us have used at some point, like the Bambi, it does have a reservoir. It is sturdy, has a tank, a way to get moist out, solid air pressure, does not make a ton of noise and it is a cheap option all things considered. If you're stuck between the two versions of AS-186 I would actually go with the older one as it has slots for cooling, the newer one I see has both ends capped with metal plates.

A version of the AS186 will not cost you super much, but any cheaper and you will get either: something that breaks down, does not have good enough air pressure or that is very noisy. I’d split your budget 50/50 or thereabouts, compressor and brush, if either one is sub standard, you’ll get poor results and you’ll get frustrated very quickly.

Now, you’ve decided what kind of compressor you want, there’s another division here, there are standard ones, and quiet ones. Having hooked up the compressor to my usual airline/airbrush I switched the unit on and checked for air leaks - none seemed present. The BD-133 is a professional airbrush and will work to fine lines of less than 1mm with outstanding results from graphic design workthrough to custom car artwork. A friend of mine has the first one for several years now (the one with the vents on the end of the casing). I will add a more detailed review once I have had time to play with the kit but initial impressions are favorable.

Those compressors arent meant to have a reservoir, youd need to rig a feedback loop to turn it off once an external cannister was full.Airbrush Pro series BD-133 withsuction feedand advanced double action trigger to activate and control the air and paint mixture. So, I was wondering if anyone here uses one of these compressors or has heard anything about them, good or bad?

They put out around 40 decibels which I’m told is around what your fridge does, with no vibrations and have a minimum of 9 litre reservoir which is massive when compared with every other brand available.

Adapters range from A1 - A7, sizes are given in BSP (British Standard Pipe)- Example 1/8 BSP is not the diameter of the adapter.Now, there are a tonne of compressors around, and these are split in to various types that can be confusing. The compressor is mounted on top of the air tank and provides a foldable carrying handle and is fitted with an adjustable regulator/pressure-gauge with built-in water trap/air filter. I cant find the db output on this but its fairly noisy having used one, and it doesn’t have a reservoir either, its a direct compressor. It seems to cope well with all four brushes, and has seems to have given a new lease of life to the old AE. For me, and the way I work, the flow from a reservoir feels much smoother, and fitted my style better so its worth testing out some setups if you can.
