What Customers Are Saying
The air compressor has a powerful motor and quickly builds up pressure, handling light to medium-duty tasks effectively. However, some users have experienced issues with the regulator, motor, and pressure maintenance. The quality and durability seem inconsistent, with some units lasting for years while others fail within months of light use. Overall, the compressor provides good value when functioning as intended, but customers should be prepared for potential reliability problems.

question
I bought this back in December 2025. Every time I have used it the valve on the bottom leaks air. Is that normal or do I have a bad valve
Long awaited review
I've had this unit for about 6 years now, and have to say, I've had zero issues. Is it loud, yes. It's an air compressor. If you want a quite one, buy one that is marketed for that. I've used it for many home and auto projects. Pneumatic impact wrenches, nail guns, HVLP spraying, and just filling tires. I built a sound deadening box with an air vent so that I can have constant air in my garage, and it keeps up just fine.
won't turn on
bought the 1st one, worked fine for about a year, then all of a sudden would not turn on, bought a second one exact model and did the same thing, buy another brand
Kobalt 8-Gallon Portable Electric 150 PSI
Very good air compressor

Does not last long.
I've had my compressor for 2-3 years now. I don't use it often, however when I go to use it...it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. It has this electrical current sound and doesn't do anything. I tried taking it back for warranty but I could not find my receipt. My small compressor from Harbor Freight has lasted a lot longer than this.
Yes, You Can Use This to Paint Furniture With HVLP
I could not find this answer, so I had to figure it out mostly through research and trial and error. Hopefully this review will help someone who is wondering, "Can I use this to paint cabinets or furniture?" The answer is yes - if used with the certain tools and processes. I refinished the cabinets in two bathrooms and also refinished a dresser and dining table recently and everything looks beautiful, but it was a lot of work!

Stopped working after 5 uses
Had the Kobalt 8 Gal compressor for about five years. It worked fine for blowing out my irrigation system once per year. It stopped working this year. Tank fills but tool tank will not if a hose is plugged in.
Extremely satisfied
Powerful and compact

Perfect Addition
I was looking for a compressor that could handle an expanded tool line up ans provided a higher CFM rating than the typical $99 pancake compressors. There is no doubt that this little champ will work well for what I need it for at my house. I don't run sprayers or high CFM level tools. The 8 gallon tank holds enough air that I am typically able to finish an entire room of molding without the compressor kicking on. Here are the things I love about this: 1) It feels heavy duty. The entire un...
