What do you want to do with the compressor? I suggest that you decide how it is going to be used first. It may be cheaper to buy it with an airbrush as a combo. If you need the airbrush only sparingly, you may want to consider using compressed air can until you need a compressor.

There many posts on this forum on how to read the compressor spec or the lack of them. Pick one candidate that you are interested in. I will give you some feedback on your choice.
