Review Posted 12/01/2022
My old DeWalt oil-less burned up the stator windings after seven years of brutal heavy use. This compressor fit the bill for replacement, small enough to go under the workbench, high enough CFM, oil-less so I do not have to worry about anything but water when painting with it. The huge bonus is how quiet it is. Very happy with it to date. The only issue was the wheels were slightly too wide for the axle bolts, I just ground off a 1/8" of the plastic and the wheels spin freely.

Compared to my old compressor, this one is very, very quiet. it has been able to keep up with any of the air tools I have attached to it. The build quality is excellent, and the protection provided for shipping was impressive. I would recommend this compressor for anyone doing home or vehicle projects. I have used this compressor for ten months and am completely satisfied with its performance and build.

Review Posted 10/26/2020
Can't believe how quiet this unit operates! Really quiet compared to my older oil-less compressor. It gets up to pressure fairly quick. It is light compared with others of similar style/class. This was the only one I could find that was 5.3 CFM @ 90 psi with the smaller form factor, weight, and low dB rating. I wish the handle was a touch longer or extended past the end of the tank a bit more...I am tall and its slightly awkward to pick up and roll. Also be aware the compressor heads get very hot...might be a good way to heat up lunch lol! Overall very pleased with this unit .
