One of the twin outlets on my Aldi sourced air compressor has disintegrated and it is now a useful doorstop. At 25 litres, it didn't have much puff for sand blasting but it could blow up a few tyres, spray on Muc Off and air dry the bikes.
Q? is it worth repair, if I can find someone, or should I replace it?
If I replace it, where can I get a cheap compressor that does have some puff?
 
There's usually a fairly good warranty on the stuff from Aldi/Lidl - might be worth a try if you still had the receipt.
 
If it didn't have much puff, the tank capacity is only part of the problem. The air displacement and motor rating come into the equation as well. I got mine from Machine Mart - linky here.

Repair it with standard bsp fittings from a pipe supply dealer or even the plumb centre, etc.

Use an old gas bottle as a receiver, so the pressure drop take longer due to the increase capacity.....

Timpo.
