I already own 3 air compressors before buying this Limodot LG1100 air compressor, but I needed one to serve a specific purpose, which is airbrushing. My 80 gallon, and 36 gallon air compressors are just too big, not to mention that they are loud. Twenty years ago I bought an airbrush compressor, and it has served me well, but it seemed like time for an upgrade. After shopping around I decided to buy this Limodot LG1100 air compressor.
The Limodot LG1100 is significantly bigger than my old airbrush compressor, but it's still compact enough to easily fit on my workbench, which is really just my kitchen table. After going through the test procedure, which is conveniently in the included owners manual, I started using it to do some airbrushing. Right away I noticed how quiet the Limodot is. My old airbrush compressor is so much louder than this Limodot, which surprised me because of the power and size difference. I've included a picture of both compressors so you can see the difference. The Limodot is quiet enough that I could actually still hear my TV, not that I would be watching TV while airbrushing. I'm also pleased with the weight of the Limodot. It's easy to lift, and move around when I need to. It's super easy to setup, and use. I really like the design, and the location of the handle. When I pick it up it stays relatively level, which makes it easier to set back down. When I turn on the compressor, it fills the tank, and reaches the 120 psi cut-out pressure in less than a minute, at which point the compressor automatically turns off. I'm able to easily adjust the pressure, to my airbrush, with the regulator, which is important because I use a gravity feed, and a syphon feed airbrush. My old airbrush compressor struggled to supply enough pressure to my syphon feed airbrush. After almost a week of using the Limodot LG1100, I'm pleased to say that everything works well. Now I can work, and hear myself think.
All together, I'm very pleased with the Limodot LG1100. It passed all of my tests, and it brought a huge amount of value for my money.
