Mikey K sells such equipment for a living if you want to drop him a line
Not that small I don't That is only ~1.5 kW and should be fine on 230V single phase
That Lidl deal is cheap, Machine Mart do some good ones -at this level it is a lottery on how long they last/how good they are
Couple of pieces of advice;
1) at this level they will be piston machines designed for intermittent use DON'T hammer them they WILL break!
2) Get one on a good sized receiver and make sure you drain the water regularly
3) keep the pump unit cool ~85% of the power will be heat
More than happy to talk about 415V compressor
I have one of these......it's had a fair bit of use over the years, and given no trouble at all...... I've had it about 7 years, and its powered a sand blaster, and all my air tools just fine..

Good little machine but pricey http://www.abac-support.co.uk/individualmodels/Bel...
I'd go with a smaller pump unit and a larger receiver (unless you are doing a lot of sand blasting)

Yo Neil....I'm not overly 'compressed' by your spelling of recommendation either.
You see what I did there ??
It's the American way Phil. I'm in Brazil!You see what I did there ??
You noticed of course that I got it right in the text. Unfortunately by the time I noticed I could not go back and edit the title.

Que?
Our factories used to have an intranet thingy, where surplus equipment was put up so that if another factory was in need of somthing they could ask for it......It was usually full of crap like desks, chairs, and lockers.... Very rarely somthing decent would come up...
This compressor was bought as a backup and never used, so the engineer put it on the intranet..... No other factory put in a request...so they put it up for any employee to buy.... Sealed bids in an envelope..
I bid £30 quid..... It was the only bid they got..... So they sent it up on a pallet..... It didn't even have a plug on it brand spanking new, never been used and wrapped in clingfilm....
D you think I'd get my money back if I put it on eBay
