Any Home Compressor Recommendations?

I just ordered this based upon recommendations. I haven’t used it so don’t know how it is, it’s a punt and if it fails I’ll drop a grand in a better one:

I was always wary when these kinds of things first came out at “budget” prices, and would always push home fills towards stirrup pumps (less to go wrong).I just ordered this based upon recommendations.

(The only one I would endorse back then was the Tom Kaye Shoebox which was actually a booster to be used with “workshop” compressors)
General feedback these days shows that things are good at an affordable price
The primary thing is the air filter. The picture shows one fitted so assuming it is on yours then all is good
It will be interesting to have your feedback on noise, how hot it gets when running, time to fill (and time to fill practically if done in stages)
…. Also what add on fees you get on arrival at custom
Old school ones were having cases removed to reduce heat - don’t do that as the case is part of the safety !

I'll be keeping an eye out for your feedback too!
It arrived really fast, well packed. It’s filling a bottle now. Been 6 minutes to get a 48ci to 2135psi. It’s got to 50 degrees C (it is 26 degrees in my garage today) so will let it cool for 10 minutes.
It’s not quiet! But for the money, and the ease of not needing to drive 45 minutes for a refill, it’s fantastic.
Edit: I hadn’t turned its fan on, because I’m an idiot. It’s cooling itself rapidly, as in less than a minute to cool down, so it’s charging again now. It does slow as it goes about 2k psi.
Edit edit: Just under 10 minutes and it’s done. Auto shut off worked. The pressure relief valve to disconnect the hose worked. It’s all perfect. Not quiet though, but not obnoxious.
