Campbell Hausfeld DC080500 Reviews & Ratings
The DC080500 1-HP 8-Gallon is the perfect handy portable air compressor to have around for a multitude of chores: small repairs, power caulking, or keeping your tires at their proper inflation to maximize mileage are good examples.
It has a greatly reduced noise level of 68 decibels which allows it to be used in home environments. It features a gauge and a regulator for easy monitoring of the tank and line pressure.
The oil-free, maintenance-free pump is among the key components that are designed to last up to four times longer than those of a conventional oil-free air compressor, so this unit will give you a long and quiet life of quality performance.

Surprisingly Quiet Little Powerhouse!

Review Posted 12/10/2017
Read all of the specs and watched several videos before purchasing this compressor.
Had my doubts about the claims that were made for it, but now that I've used it I can honestly say that it lives up to the promised levels of performance.
It has the capability to easily do all of the tasks claimed for it and at such a low sound level that it doesn't interfere with conversations in its proximity even in an enclosed garage. It's hard to tell that it's even running unless you're very close to it and it doesn't even scare the animals or bring on consternation from the women folk.
One of the best tool purchases that I've made in several years.
Very Pleased!

Expert Response
Campbell Hausfeld rates this unit as capable of 2.4 CFM at 90 PSI. As we explain in How To Pick The Perfect Consumer Air Compressor you need to match your compressor to your air tools.
The Features for this unit list "tire inflation, hobby air brushing, finish nailing & stapling". Consumer/Hobbyist grade staplers typically use less than 2 CFM at 90 PSI, which leaves a little head room for best performance- a good match. A "power tool" like an impact wrench requires 4 CFM at 90 PSI (or more) so this unit is not recommended for those applications.

Bought this CH 1 HP 8Ggallon Quiet air compressor because I have had an older CH for some 20 years before she finally gave out.
Love the new model because it has wheels and is much more quiet.
