Phi,

I own both compressors.  EMPHATICALLY.......the Bauer is the best!  I've
used both compressors with both gas and electric drivers.  When I need true
portability, I use the gas driver.  When I'm at home I switch to the
electric driver. I built a small tray that allows me to swap drivers
quickly.  There is a carbon monoxide detector in the outlet of both
compressor.  I highly suggest you invest in this option if you ever plan on
running a gas driver on the compressor.

If you decide to by the Coltri/Max-Air 35 compressor, I have a complete set
of spare parts for you.


Best regards,

Chris Hulgan
