Bare in mind that the lower end sheppach stuff is identical (bar branding) to Lidl and Aldi own brand stuff.
Can't say for sure which one you mean but the standard one that Lidl often have is 50l, 1.8KW (about 2.5HP) and sells for around €100. I've had one for about 10 years and its been fine my son used it for a bit for model spray painting till he got his own.

Wake me up when it's all over.

If you're talking about spraying cars or large parts or anything decent sized, you'll need a 200 litre unit. Otherwise you'll run out of air long before you finish. Those 24ltr things are toys and only good for spraying toys.
