Looking at getting a small air compressor for home use

Seen quite a few but the likes of this seems to tick a lot of boxes:

Can anyone recommend one at all, as well as an 'on the wall' air line and parts like a tyre pressor gauge, small nozzles for blowing dust clear of shut lines etc

Cheers

Should be fine for blowing up tyres and the occasional air dusting. Not sure that would justify wall mounting it, though. If you are planning to use it to power any air tools you'll find the duty cycle is so low it is effectively unusable.

If you're thinking of using it at one end of a wall mounted pipework system with plug in air sockets at various points on this pipe for airlines I'd suggest you save your money.

It will be fine for blowing up tyres & blowing dust off things but that's it.

You've both suggested stuff that I haven't asked for...

It literally says in my post it'll be for blowing up tyres and used to 'dust stuff off'

I want a small compressor for that very reason and a wall mountable line reel so that it can be kept neat and tidy...

I have a cheap walk mounted retractable air hose, I’d spend more money next time, as it doesn’t retract that well, nowhere near as good as my old one anyway.

Yeah; I've seen a few reviews of where hoses don't retract well...

Makes me think that just having a loose one, short & long and then hung on a hook on the wall may be an easier option!

For the amount of use you’ll have…
