5.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised.

I own three of these units, all purchases separately over a year and use them on my CO2 Laser Cutters replacing the bad aquarium pumps that came with the units. These compressor have worked as advertised, super quiet, efficient and dependable. You can't go wrong with these if you're wanting a compressor that's portable, quiet and works when it should.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, small compressor
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2024
I live in an apartment, so I wanted a compressor that is small in the interest of saving space, and quiet so as not to disturb my neighbors. I’m very impressed! Like any air compressor, it does make noise but it’s really not too loud in my opinion. It also charges very quickly, less than two minutes!

Using this as an air duster to avoid going thru cans of compressed air that rely on propellant that is a greenhouse gas. It is way more powerful than canned air dusters, and has many more uses with any low cost attachment set. Should have gotten one of these a long time ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome small job compressor
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
I wanted a small, quiet compressor for jobs like cleaning carburetors or running a brad nailer that don't require a ton of air capacity and that's exactly what this little thing excels at. It's so quiet you can work right over it without being bothered and it airs up quickly with the small tank, perfect for light duty work.

I just got this and used it on one job. I think I'm gonna love it if it holds up. I paid $100 for my last one, a Husky that has worked hard for 15 years and is still kicking. Dropped it of a scaffold so it no longer has a reg. or gauges. It feels and sounds well built. Time will tell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, quiet, just what I needed
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2022
First the packaging. Came in a sturdy box well guarded inside with packing. No issues right out of the box. Easy to use regulator with a working gauges that are actually pretty close to perfect. From the floor up about half way on my shin is the height footprint. Normal feet apart stance is about the width. A large shoe is how deep it is front to back. The handle was actually in a good spot for what I needed to do and get it n a tight spot. It is about conversation loud/noise. Not yelling-just normal. A long enough power cord that it did not have to sit right on top of an outlet. Combine a quick connect type hose that plugs i to the air delivery hole and you have air at your command. It is not meant for large air tool. No way could it keep up. But a few short blast of air to blow off a work bench-perfect. The price is right, the noise level is great, the air delivery is easy and typical air connections, electrical needs are nothing special-just a 120 volt three prong outlet. It fits in most spots with room to spare (if you need an air compressor-they are usually not a small piece of equipment)

I would buy this again and again and again

5.0 out of 5 stars SO quiet!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023
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.

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024
I moved my big compressor out to the shop and needed something in the garage to air up tires and do a little blowing. This compressor does just what I need and I can't get over how quiet it is. It looks very well made.
