No experience with that compressor, but that super low price just screams "too good to be true". If it is, the thing is likely manufactured overseas somewhere with zero quality assurance and the cheapest lowest grade materials possible.

I got my FD compressor from these guys - https://www.ackits.com/

If you can't find it on their website, just call them to ask & order. Mine cost me about $350 when I ordered one last year; it was an aftermarket unit, but fit and has been working perfectly for over a year now. Plus the manufacturer does some QA/testing, as it was delivered with both ports capped, with one cap being a Schrader valve and pressurized with nitrogen. So you can stick a gauge on the Schrader valve and verify that it's still holding it's pressure charge after delivery, and you can be confident that the compressor won't leak after installation.

 

so a couple things, first the Alibaba shipping is subsidized, but returns aren't, so if you need to return it, you are SOL

on the other hand though, the aftermarket basically is just buying the cheapest thing they can find and putting it in their box, so low price might just be skipping some middle-people
