You get what you pay for.
Badge engineering is alive and well in the cheap welder and compressors.

Depends on what you want to do with the compressor but I bought the LIDL 2.5hp one 2 years ago and have used it a lot - including spraying the odd panel with the gun they have.

I see they now have a 3.2hp with the same 3 year guarantee so I'd definitely look at that one as well if you're looking to do a bit more with it.
