What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this compressor for its reliability, quiet operation, and ability to handle multiple framing and finish nailers simultaneously without overheating. Most highlight its compact, lightweight design, quick recovery time, and consistent air pressure maintenance, with many noting the oil-lubricated cast iron pump ensures durability. Reviewers consistently report it outperforms larger, more expensive models for residential and light commercial use. A few mention the oil dipstick design is awkward and tank drain valves are poorly positioned, but these minor issues are vastly outweighed by strong overall satisfaction and value.

Oil amount and level

I'm giving it three stars so far. My main complaint is determining the amount of oil the compressor holds. The manual does not state anywhere the amount it should hold. Also, checking the oil level once it is added is hard too. Metabo what amount of oil does this compressor take?

Great portable compressor

More quiet than other portable air compressors. Fast recovery time. And really like the double drain easy to access. Oil filled pump for long life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve bought four of these so far, and have l have been pleased with there lifespan, duty ratings. I like that they are putting the universal ends on them so you can use any end that you have on the hose of the moment. One drawback is that parts are expensive, as I’ve cooked one from a low oil situation, and replacing the pump parts was the same price as a new one.

Dynamite in a small package.

Fine unit...

This appears to be a well designed and made unit. I appreciate the obvious care that went into its design and constriction. I'm glad it is an oil lubricated unit and should be long lived.
