Review Posted 02/08/2023
I couldn't be happier with this thing. I didn't realize how bad I had it (with my old compressor from Lowe's) until I bought this. No issues so far after 6 months & I love the obviously located adjustment knob. And free shipping on an air compressor??? Great deal. Don't buy from the big guys, small ecommerce stores like this are where the value is these days.

Review Posted 11/17/2022
Purchased this air comp. about 9 years ago when I closed on a fixer upper home. I knew I was going to be inside many many hours with an air compressor running. You can be standing next to it and answer your phone. Not to even speak of the light weight. All the base board, door trim and window trim in a 3000sf home . Not sure how many more years I will get out of this compressor only time will tell.

Although I knew it wasn't stacked like my compressor being replaced, I didn't focus on it.
Had to rearrange a tight space to fit it in.

Good Choice For Small Construction Projects

Review Posted 08/09/2021
Easy to use, easy to handle.
So quiet. - Just like it was described.
I use it for a finish nail gun and an upholstery stapler -- so far.
Looking forward to expanding my pneumatic tool holdings.

Money Well Spent!
By Michael L.

Review Posted 01/05/2021
I am 54 yrs. old - and this is the fourth or fifth compressor I've had over the last 15 years. I do a lot of DIY projects around the home (trim, molding, cedar closets, etc...) as well as used for general maintenance of autos. I also do some woodworking with air tools. Long story short, this was worth twice the price for no other reason than the sound level. It recharges pressure quickly - and you barely hear a sound when it kicks back on. This was a very well designed product. All controls are where they should be - and intuitive. It is nice to have the drain valve so conveniently located - never a concern about condensation build up. I read several reviews before purchasing. I discounted the few negative reviews and decided to give it a shot. I have no regrets - this is a fantastic little unit. I had a sheetrock crew at my house two weeks ago to do some ceiling repair (my ceilings are 16' high - and yes - I am afraid of heights LOL). They brought a competitor pancake compressor in to do the job. I asked them to use mine because I was at home and didn't want to hear the noise theirs was making. They were shocked at the recovery speed - and quietness of this compressor. I would definitely buy again (and will probably buy a 10 GAL version at 70 db for the garage). Thank you Air Compressors Direct!

Quiet And Lightweight
By David A.
Richfield, Minnesota
Purchased 12/08/2020 |
Review Posted 01/02/2021
I bought this compressor to use mainly for stapling, some finish nailing, and usually in an occupied recording studio situation, so I need a quiet compressor, and California compressors really fill that bill. I have a bigger one for bigger projects, but this lightweight one is perfect for smaller jobs.

I Should Have Went With Compressor A Long Time Ago.
By Daryl L.

Review Posted 11/02/2020
This unit is so so quiet compare to the others. Easy to carry and refills pressure quickly.
I should have bought one a long time ago instead of buying other brands that didn’t last.
