My opinion would be to not spend more than 500-600 on a compressor because what I would suggest is to buy a pressure gauge as well( This is more important than the compressor per se).
Reasons,
I bought the compressor about a year ago (which i thought was dead) and its still working fine, pick it up from any reliance autozone . It costs about 530Rs.
Buy a good ISI certified pressure gauge , this is important, Make sure Its certified if you cannot find anything that is ISI certified then take it to a local certification shop and get it calibrated.
Or use you're gauge at different places to see the difference to give you a correct picture.
But whatever be the case buy a good pressure gauge .

Now as for the compressor, both the coido and the one I have can be used only for 10mins at a stretch (its max operating time) meaning that the components are more or less same , so dont spend 1700 for coido when you can buy similar things for 500 which are just as good.

Finally, Never use the cigarette lighter for lighting cigarettes , I've found out the hard way that the after effects are quite nasty , Today i checked and found out that I had a blown fuse , thankfully replaced it for free.

The Coido i have cost me 700 bucks,and it comes with a analog pressure guage.
