| I never was impressed with the Sanborn or Coleman compressors & haven't seen a Magna Force but if it's made like the other two I would be hesitant of it as well.
You say "light duty" Do you mean it will only be on part of the time or just used for light duty work? IMO, if you're wanting an ac that will be plugged in all the time you will want something well built as you'll be surprised how much it will run even when not in use and I don't see much difference in wear in one that runs to replenish itself whether just from sitting or from use.
My last AC I bought for the shop was a "Bel-Aire" made by ABAC. These acs may be in a higher price range than you want to pay but they are built for long life. One feature is that all the internal components are made from stainless steel to provide maximum wear and the model I purchased has safety features that most acs don't.
So far it has been plugged in for four years with no problems. Sits in the cold side of our shop/shed. Only mainteience has been to drain the water a couple times a year. Also has plenty of cfm for most jobs. 23 cfm @175 psi & 27 cfm @ 100 psi. JMO
