- Today found time to do a short review (sorry bit long 16.5 minutes, so please try to stay awake at the back of the class😂) of my new Hill EC-3000 compressor. Two video clips, first a run down of the design, build and operation of the EC-3000 and my thoughts, and the second a timed re-fill of my Edgun Leshiy 2. Will be testing re-fill times on my 530cc 300 Bar AGT Uragan, and my Seven litre bottle, both from 100 Bar to 300 Bar, to see how the EC-3000 performs.
Comparision to my Nomad 2 compressor shows the EC-3000 to be quieter, quicker and requires less routine lubrication, which makes it easier to use. The Nomad 2 has the advantage of being lighter, and can be run from a vechicle's battery if you are in the field.
The Hill EC-3000 seem to be a top quality piece of kit, and if she performs well in the following tests (which no doubt she will), would in my opinion make her well worth the money.
Hope you all find this useful.👍

The decisions that are out there for a new PCP compressor have just narrowed down after this review. Diffidently have this on my list to look more into. Like how there’s no external water bucket with a fish tank pump!
Tremendous piece of kit .. I'll see what my Mrs says about me purchasing one when she gets home from work today , all pissed off and angry .. cos I'll be worse for wear on lager around that time , and my tonge always Kicks into gear before my brain when I'm boozed up .
You too?
Using my now for 8 months the only problem I have had with it is it doesn't like the cold, if my workshop drops down to 5 degrees it will not start until its warmed up.
Great video . Have you tried filling a buddy bottle?
I have one of these, had it a week and its failed already. After it gets to temp then pauses to cool down it wont restart. The motor sounds like it is jammed it just buzzes and it tripped the electrics. So turned it off straight away and put it back in its box ready to be returned.
This compressor seems like a winner! Build quality seems very good, and I love the design aesthetic or looks of it. Sexy! I am assuming this unit has some sort of air filter to clean the air a bit before it goes into the cylinders? Where is that on the machine? Also that digital control is exquisite; easy to use and intuitive. Thanks for posting and sharing. Much appreciated.
Yes. The Hill EC-3000 has a three stage compressor which has an internal filter and a final moisture trap. When you bleed the compressor you get a small amount of silicone oil and any water in the trap, released on decompression.
It has a blue and white pre filter, you can see it in the video, also the new evo has a black and white one.
Hi from Australia..
Great review, thank you, I am considering either the nomad 2 or the hill ec-3000, being that you own both and you’ve used both now for sometime which one would you recommend?
If you don't need to run a compressor from vehicle, the Hills is the one to go for. My friend now has the Nomad, as I only use the Hills. I have a 3 Litre and 0.5 Litre for range use, and the Hills fills them with ease.
@@reevessairgunningreviews5572 thank you for your feedback. You have been very helpful, I will order the Hill.
Good review. So how is it holding up after 3 years?
All good. Running well.
I've just sent for one. Hope it's OK, I'm a retired disabled pensioner. I don't want to get blown up. I've got enough on my plate. Seriously, I think if you just fill your guns and not push it too hard, it should be OK. I hope.
I regularly fill my 3 litre bottle. As long as you read the manual you’ll be fine.👍
Can this fill a 12L scuba tank or only for rifles?
According to the manual this compressor can fill up to 4 Litre bottles and top-up 7 Litre maximum size bottles. Rifles are no problem.
@@reevessairgunningreviews5572 thank you
How long to fill my 3litre tank?
Topping up a 3 litre tank from 150 bar to 300 bar takes around 20 minutes
how do you fill a 4500 psi tank if it only goes to 300 bar (4351psi)
Are guns have moved on since my childhood.
Is it worth £850, no. Its a good pump with about £200 worth of parts, so I would say around £500 tops, then all airgun compressors are over priced.
Like you say all compressors are fairly expensive, some very like the Daystate. It's less that £200 more than the Nomad 2, so I would say it's worth it.
Made in England or assembled in England from Chinese parts? 🇦🇺
Made in Sheffield. Many parts made in house, all other parts (including, electronic boards, software, hoses and motor) are all made locally, ie. Yorkshire and Lincolnshire 👍. No Chinese parts at all.
It looks like a great compressor, but unfortunately owners dont seem to be very happy with it. Failures are often, and parts are not easily available.
Haven't heard anything bad about it, reliability wise, but I will keep everyone updated on it's long term operations.
I had an Air King which looks the same as a Nomad. Probably just a re skinned job out of the same Chinese political prisoner sweat shop. It failed twice, I returned it under warranty 👎🇦🇺
Great vid ,
Have you tried filling a dive tank ?
Yes. The manual says you can top up small bottles. I have topped up a 3 litre from round 150 bar to 300 bar. There is a short video on that
@@reevessairgunningreviews5572 thanks I'll check it out
This is more of a Tremendous piece of $h1t. You haven't had it long enough to say it's a tremendous machine. I've seen more bad reviews on this model than any other compressor in the same price range. I mean no disrespect to but this is a terrible machine. To be honest there really isn't a really good compressor from China weather it is rebranded or not.
Do you, or have you owned one?
@@reevessairgunningreviews5572
Don't need to in order to see all the negative reviews. I'm in the market for something to fill my gun but haven't purchased anything yet. More than likely I will go with a 60 minute tank then later purchase a compressor to fill it. Wait a year for all these to improve or continue to pay for refills.
@@rentaroo please direct me to all these negative reviews. I have Googled negative reviews on the Hill EC-3000 compressor and it doesn’t list any problems that other compressors can suffer from. I also have the Nomad 2, but bought the Hill to fill my 3 Litre Carbon bottle, no problems there. Manufacturers state up to 4 litre filling.
@@rentaroo dont talk shit unless you have experience, reading reviews tells you what it tells you, but you are in no position to judge the product when you don't even have one.
lol at guy talking shit about hardware he doesn't even own. And making up bad reviews too. Probably someone who sells those shitty exploding compressors from China.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MOISTURE GETTING TO THE GUN?
Not that I know of.
