Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The portable electric air compressor offers mixed performance. It is praised for its portability, quick charging, and quiet operation, making it suitable for light household tasks. However, some users report durability issues, with the motor failing within a couple years. The compressor's limited power and air output also make it unsuitable for more demanding tools and applications. Overall, it is a decent budget-friendly option for occasional light-duty home use, but may not withstand frequent or heavy-duty use.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Out it went
Would Not RecommendRarely used it. Pumping up the wifes tire and I heard the pitch of the compressor change. It stopped compressing. Sure enough, I had it just longer than a year. Very cool when working. Light weight. Didn't hold up.
Doesn’t last long
Would Not RecommendI will say I owned this for a year or so but I had only used it a handful of times before the motor starting making louder and louder noises and then quit working. Yes I was out of the warranty period. What happened to having quality products. My grandpa has had a similar one, different brand, for like 15 years and his still works. I’m pretty sure this product was discontinued because they were junk. I’m a big fan of Kobalt stuff but this compressor really let me down.
Works grear
works for everything we have needed it to and still no problems and have had it a few years works now as well as it did the first day we got it

Works Great
Would RecommendWe have two other compressors we use for heavy duty nailers/large jobs. etc. I wanted an air compressor that was easy to pick up and move around the house that would run my upholstery nailer/stapler. It pumped up to pressure very quickly and stayed at pressure during the entire job. Very pleased with its performance!

Great little air compressor
Would RecommendI bought this for blowing out outdoor power equipment an refrigerator condensers. It performs well on both accounts. I also have used it to inflate tires on outdoor equipment. This compressor is not for running air tools as it does not have enough storage or recovery time for that.

Great Deal
Would RecommendThis compressor is priced right. It’s not very loud and holds air pressure good when not in use.

love my new compressor
Would RecommendI recently bought this 2 gal compressor. I'm only doing trim work now, I find it to have plenty of reserve and it's very light. Additionally It's quieter than my old 6 gal compressor.

Small air compressor for garage
Would RecommendExcellent deal! We just needed a small compressor for our garage and this is perfect for airing a tire and cleaning small areas with compressed air. It’s also fairly light and you can plug it in till it builds pressure than unplug and carry to a flat out in the yard.

kobalt 2 gal compressor
Would Recommendwent from 0 to 125 in 3 minutes,filled all four 17" tires from 28 psi to 32psi , should refill back up in less than a minute,over all mine worked great from the box no troubles what so ever,some people may have got a dud or trying to use a frame nailer or other tools , that may not work to good . i use a finish nailer like the instructions say to do , over all i find it a great compressor for the money . would not pay to much for the bad reviews .
