Shiznit: I’m very surprised of how quiet this air compressor is. Has been working very well with my engraver. It’s great for small things, but it won’t run anything bigger than a engraver or airbrush consistently.

JMIII: Writing this review as my use case is likely different than most others here. I have a couple road, gravel, and mountain bikes and it was becoming expensive to have bike shops setup my tubeless tires. I bought a cheap $89 compressor from a local hardware store and had to return it because it was really loud and didn’t have the power to get the tires seated to the wheel. This one was perfect, I’m now doing tire swaps in 10-20 minutes. I’m still using a hand pump for adding air before a ride (it’s just easier, IMO) but this has been great for getting tubeless tires setup

Raul R: Uso doméstico para el matenimiento vehicular.
Eficiente y sin molestar a los vecinos con el ruido porque es silencioso.

Sam: For those who purchase this and find an odd rattle that is louder than the unit, intermittent, and doesn't seem to have a clear source. It's the big white start capacitor under the plastic cover on the motor that has come loose. It is only hot glued in place and the glue fails. The cover is a bit of a pain to get off, and if you aren't familiar with high power capacitors, take it to a repair shop as they can be very dangerous, but all it took was some better adhesive around the capacitor to stop the rattle.

Debbie H: Had to return because it was too small for what we needed… was our mistake… got full refund

Amazon Customer: I wanted something small and light that I or my mother-in-law could tote around the house for various projects and keep in a cupboard. This is a great little compressor and it exceeds my expectations. It is very easy to use and is surprisingly powerful— it reaches pressure quickly and I can quickly fire a lot of 2” nails before it kicks in (I use a $50 Ryobi nailer). I have sensory issues with loud noises and appreciate how quiet it is, which was one of the main reasons I selected it. I highly recommend.

Fella: The compressor was even quieter than I expected, a conversation is louder. It takes no time to get from zero to 120 psi. I tested it from about 8pm to 10 am the next day and the guage reads exactly the same, the system lost no air pressure over 14 hours. I'm using this to run a Lindsay pneumatic air graver, its performing better than expected and I'm glad I didn't spend more money to buy one of the silent air brands that come recommended by them. This sits less than 6 feet from me and the noise level is inconsequentia. I'm set up in the basement and I find the HVAC system more of a bother than this, it really is impressive!. It has no trouble keeping up with the airgraver. I originally was having to go out to the seperate garage and turn on/off a big 5hp two stage compressor twice each time I wanted to use this. This will make life much easier, especially in winter.
There was a rattle when I first turned it on that made it atleast twice as loud as it should have been. A quick investigation revealed that one of the compressor isolation mounts wasn't tightened as much as the other two. If find yours loud take a look at the threaded bolts on the bottom of the frame, if one of them...

pugfantus: This is a great little air compressor. It's not too heavy, it's fairly quiet, the controls are easy, I just wish the tank was bigger, and that's on me. I mainly use this little compressor to blow out pedestal fan , dust screens and clean out the dust bunnies in computer cases and it just doesn't hold enough air, which means the compressor is constantly running and I'm constantly waiting for it to come back up to pressure. You'll get a good 10-15 secs of good sustained pressure before it needs to reload and I really need upwards of a minute to be effective.

Roark: Boy this thing is quiet. True, you are not going to forget it is there, but the average polite conversation isnt going to be disrupted by it either even it is sitting at your feet. FWIW, I use this at an SMD rework station for blow-off, drying, and powering small air tools where it has replaced my little DeWalt pancake unit. When the DeWalt kicked-on, I’d always flinch and often turn my head away from the noise. No more! This fact alone made this a worthwhile purchase for me.

This compressor has a very pleasing “putt-putt-putt” sound, unlike the obnoxious “braaaaaap!!!” of other units, yet the air output is impressive for such a small unit. As other reviewers have mentioned, it only takes 60 seconds to fill from empty, and 15 seconds to refill itself to the cutoff pressure (~120 psi). Although my use case is pretty specific, I can definitely see where this unit would be a good fit for air brushing or powering a trim/brad nailer. And of course it will handle the usual tasks like inflating bike tires, car tires, athletic equipment, and levitating random sleeping cats (KIDDING!).

Perhaps the biggest “like” (other than being so quiet) is the portability...
