Lidl compressors - any good?

Does anyone have experience of Lidl power tools - specifically compressors?

I see they're selling a Parkside-branded one with a 1.8kw motor producing 7bar and with a 24-litre capacity for £80. It comes with a three-year warranty.

However, I wonder if it's any good for that price, whether it would be possible to get spares for it? I tend to think you get what you pay for these days so I wonder if I should spend a bit more and get something decent - I had been thinking of getting a Clarke compressor.

It would be for amateur use (blowing up tyres, spraying Waxoyl and maybe the odd panel, etc).

Your thoughts, please!

Whilst no doubt it will do what it says on the box personally I would go for something with a bit larger delivery with at least a 50ltr storage tank.
My SIP twin cylinder 14 CF/M delivery with 50 ltr tank can be a bit frustrating at times especially when you want a good flow of air.
