Has anyone had experience with Maxus brand air compressors? Im in need of a small lightweight unit for trim/finish work around the house. I have a 24gal IR unit that I use for auto work, ect.
I was specifically looking at the Maxus X-Lite EX8017 model. Since I cant find the Maxus brand here in Canada I was looking at purchasing the RIDGID rebranded unit that home depot sells for $120cdn
I was also wondering if anyone could provide me with some info on what an induction motor is? I noticed that this unit uses one while other companies use universal motors, ect.
