Looking at some Youtube videos where these compressors are dismantled
the working parts mostly seem to be the same generic design, possibly
all produced in the same couple of Chinese factories.

Its a common misconception that Chinese items that look alike are
produced in the same factories. Having spend several years involved in
sourcing product from China which involved visiting Chinese factories I
can erasure you items that appear outwardly to be the same can vary
enormously in quality and be produced by 100s of different factories.


Indeed.

I've seen lots od reports illustrating this involving
electronic goods such as meters, etc.

General consensus is that Banggood are the preferred supplier
for kit which is well built.

Yep --- even the Chinese copy each others items. You can have any
quality you want in identical looking widgets at any price you want to
pay. Appearance does not guarantee repeatable quality.
I sent many years working for a widget importer, testing items.
