ZhongYan manufactures 4 different 4500 PSI Yong Heng types, each in 110 and 220V:

1. Simple - doesn't have first-stage drain
2. Hardcover - has a first-stage drain
3. Auto Stop - automatically stops before exceeding pressure limit
4. Set pressure - you can set the pressure at which it automatically stops

  66 cf tank: ~50 top offs and 1 full fill
  18 cf tank: ~100 top offs and 2 full fills (these top offs probably average ~3300-4500 psi, just cause it is so easy to do)

YongHeng 110v with a few hrs fill time as of now. I fill both guns to 4500 psi and 90ci tank and 88cf tank to 4200psi. No issues except temp gauge went bad. Seller sent me a new one. Paid 230$ shipped. Yes I would recommend and would buy another.

Hi folks,

I have created the survey.  You can submit your HPA compressor experiences here:

http://bit.ly/hpa-compressor-survey

Thanks to everyone who has helped me identify the compressors that should be included.  If you have a compressor that is not listed in the above survey please email and I will add it!  mcoulter@syr.edu

To everyone who has posted your experiences here I will ask that you also submit the survey.  Doing so will help me tremendously in managing the data. 

Thanks!

 - Matt

p.s. I am going to ask the admins an see if this thread can be locked just to make sure the survey is where people enter their information  :-)
