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

DD: My initial review: Quit working after 4 months...piece of junk don't buy!!
Update: The compressor works just fine. I reread the instructions and found that an extension cord longer than 25 feet can cause the unit not to turn on. Sure enough, when I plugged it directly into the outlet or used a 25-foot extension cord, the unit runs perfectly. Also, if you need to have a long-time supply of compressed air, the small tank does empty quickly. For inflating tires or blowing off/cleaning an air filter, the unit works just fine.

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.

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...
