What Customers Are Saying
The air compressor is praised for being very quiet during operation, making it suitable for use in homes, workshops, and job sites where noise is a concern. It is described as lightweight and portable, allowing users to easily transport it to different locations for various DIY projects and home repairs. However, some customers reported issues with the air hose fitting, leaks in the tubing, and limited air capacity that may not be suitable for more demanding applications. There were also concerns about the compressor's durability and longevity. Overall, the compressor is well-suited for light-duty tasks and home use, but may not be the best choice for heavy-duty or professional applications.

My new Metabo air compressor is a most welcome replacement for the compressor that I had previously used for many years to power my air brushes. This new unit very capably drives my airbrushing activities over the broad variety of paints that I use for my projects. The air supply that the Metabo provides is smooth, steady and reliable. And, best of all, this new compressor is quieter than I had imagined would be. I practically have to remind myself that it's actually running! Great machine!

Great compressor
I was amazed with how quiet this compressor was I'm thinking now why did I put up with my other compressor for so many years it was so noisy it would wake up the dead Really recommended It's small and compact but it's strong enough

Metabo HPT air compressor EC28M
This is my second Matabo EC28M. I really like the low level of noise and the portability of this air compressor. I purchased a second unit because I gave the first one to my son who is also enamoured with this product.

Great Products
Used the Metabo HPT EC28M for the first time today to inflate a low tire. I did the 10 minute breatin run then closed the tank and let in fill to max psi. Very quiet running, sufficient volume to fill any tire. Runs great, just like my Metabo battery screwdriver.

Watch the gauge faces- full pressure not developed
Overall good compressor with limited capacity. But the pressure gauge inside cards with the pressures printed on them were slightly curved... keeping the pressure needle from actually reaching 125psi tank pressure. Once I realized the needle was physically being stopped by the guage card, i was able to understand that the full pressure was being generated. Good for pumping up car tires and small jobs. I haven't yet tried with a framing nailer or anything more demanding.
Verified Purchaser
Quiet, well built, lightweight, decent price.
I bought a 1-gallon compressor (Husky?) some years back from Home Despot. For $48 it did the job. BUT. It was noisy as heck, and took a long time to come up to pressure. I'm not a contractor anymore, but I would never bring that noisy thing into someone's home. The Metabo HPT EC28M is a whole step above that screaming MiMi of a compressor. Cost 5 times more, but what a difference. When I first plugged it in, I was immediately reminded of gear from Honda- QUIET. It is solidly made. It comes up ...

Warranty Registration needs upgrade.
Warranty registration online is not up to standard. No confirmation email like Dewalt and other professional companies. Hopefully not an issue if something goes wrong.
