Happy Camper!

Review Posted 03/31/2023
Very satisfied customer. Traded up from a very old LOUD compressor and couldn’t be happier. Where I used to avoid using my old compressor I know try to find reasons to use this baby. Made room under my bench just to have easier access. The wheels make it a breeze to move around the shop. When I’m wearing hearing protection (all the time) I can’t tell if this is running. Have to reach down and touch the motor to be sure.
Got the aluminum tank and saved a couple of pounds and hopefully can worry a little less about condensation. I don’t store with air in the tank and leave the valve open when not in use. Really happy with this purchase.

Review Posted 01/14/2023
Great little compressor, my old Sears died it must have weighed
over 100 lbs, so I bought this, just 37 lbs. It's great, I'm an old guy now makes life a lot simpler when I need to pull it out.

This compressor was an noise pollution upgrade from a pancake compressor that sounded like a motorcycle and a chainsaw. It is so quiet. It also compressed air as advertised.

This compressor is way quieter than any other compressor I've used. We use it to power equipment at exhibitions so that it isn't super intrusive to refill the talk. It is also very light weight.
