What ever you buy go for one that gives at least 14CFM.
My own compressor purchased at least 15 years ago from Halfords in a sale is a SIP item giving out 14CFM which is adequate.
Was used all day this last Saturday grit blasting and never gave any problem.
The air storage tank is 50 litre but in retrospect a 100 litre tank would have been better.
The use of a self draining water separator is a must what ever you do with the compressed air.
I always remove the tank drain plug when not being used as it is surprising the amount of water generated which if left will corrode the inside of the tank.

Thanks for reply and aware of requirements BUT did you notice pricing across a range of items?

Given that the site you quoted is currently giving a 403 error, I would be wary.

Something not right. Far too cheap. Their price for a V twin 14.5cfm 50L £97.99 Inc Vat and shipping, Machine Marts price £298.80.
Some of the bigger models the price goes down instead of up.
The contact us post code is wrong.
If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is..
I’d give it a miss.
