Not at all a compressors expert here, but I have a Nomad II and granted I might not use it as much as most people do but so far it has been amazing.they tell you to check the Load as a warning when it's struggling and should stay under .30, so far I've never seen mine go above 22 and usually runs between 20.5 to 21.5all I do if follow maintenance procedure, purging after the number of fills mentioned.On Amazon there's several same type compressors anywhere in the 300-400 bucks range
