SO quiet!!!!
5 Stars
SO quiet!!!!
Wow! Just wow. After decades of being around "normal" air compressors I was really shocked at just how quiet this compressor is. The unit I replaced was so loud I would have to use my noise-cancelling headphones when it was running, and it took forever to fill a 2 gallon tank. This one gallon unit went from 0 - 120 psi in under 90 seconds and I could have a normal level conversation while it was filling. Amazing. The one gallon is sufficient for my needs because it's only being used to blow chips/sawdust out of the bowl that I'm turning and/or to blow dust away in the lathe area. It's small enough to fit right under my bench and still be handy. I wish I had made this purchase a long time ago. When the time comes to replace my 20 gallon tank you can be sure that this brand will be at the top of the shopping list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet with a FAST recovery time!
Reviewed in Canada on January 31, 2019
I mostly bought this compressor for cleaning my pellet stoves and computers(with pressure dialed down), as the compressed air dusters run out of pressure really fast and are expensive. So I ordered an air kit to go with the compressor. The compressor works great and fills up very quickly. It is surprisingly quiet, not like those pancake compressors which sound like a jackhammer.

I was a little worried about the quick connect air hose attachment on the compressor-the release ring looked like it was stuck. I thought I might have to replace it, but as soon as I plugged in a male quick connect fitting, it popped securely in place. This compressor is very well designed with quality craftmanship. The compressor has no where near the power of my Campbell Hausfeld 5HP 26 Gallon compressor, but it will come in handy for cleaning, and is definitely more portable than my big brute, lol!

I love this thing!
