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.

Great forsmall projects

Would Recommend

Purchased this air compressor to do small work around the house and so far it has done me well. It doesn't require a whole lot of setup to get you going. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this product if you plan on doing a major work around your house.

Works Well

I bought this to blow up pool toys, knowing it was capable of much more. It works well for pool toys, but when we wanted to blow up an air bed we didn’t have the right adapter. That’s unfortunate since adapters cost about 1/3 of the price of the air compressor.

Kobalt Air Compressor

Would Recommend

Nice! Does exactly what I bought it for. Not too noisy or heavy. Keep it in the trailer with my ZTR, so I always have access to it.

BANG FOR THE BUCK

Would Recommend

I bought this on sale, around $60, and IMO I got a great deal. It's quiet, relative to most compressors, and delivers what I need for jobs around the house

Did not work correctly....Maybe a one off....

Would Not Recommend

I bought this air compressor for my fathers day preset as I was tired of borrowing my father-in-laws when I needed to air up an inflatable for the kids. Figured it was time to own my own and just wanted to get something small. This fit the bill and looks great. Comes with all the main connectors I needed and the hose. I got it home and hooked it all up. It ran fine when first hooked it up. When shutting it down and doing the stuff you should do at the end I noticed that the drain valve would no...

VERY POOR PRODUCT

Would Not Recommend

My old shop compressor finally gave out & I saw this Kobalt quiet model on sale so got it. Took it home from Lowes & it charged the tank but would not deliver any pressure/air to my tools- I tried all of them just to be sure & the compressor was faulty & not one of my tools. Returned it & tried to exchange it but they didn't have any more so sent me to the next nearby store 2 towns away. I bought it & had them open & check it before I left the store: same exact problem. So got my money back & st...

great for spraying the dust out of computers

Would Recommend

I bought this strictly for spraying all the dust out of computers I repair and own. This thing maybe be little but worked perfectly. Sure you have to wait for it to recharge and fill back up but after using canned air this thing will pay for itself eventually. As far as it being loud or quiet for it's size it's quiet. But if you buy one bigger get ready to buy easy plus as well. I only run mine between noon and 4 pm so it won't bother the neighbors....lol. I really do love how well it works for ...

Bought this just for the small tasks in the garage. My tire on my car was just a little low so I figured I would put some air in it 10 psi and this compressor took for ever to do it. I don't even want to try to do anything else with it like blow off the deck of my tractor.

Small size

Would Recommend

25 lbs great for small jobs (pool toys, mattress, sports ball, bike tire) other jobs will take time to refill, but is that isn’t a problem $60 is a great saving over stationary units

Far louder than advertised!

Would Not Recommend

Specifications stated the compressor operated at 70 decibels. It actually registered 110-118 decibels on my sound meter.

Great value

Needed a compressor for my son’s science fair project, then for around the house work. Couldn’t beat this for both price and performance.

Great starter compressor

Would Recommend

It’s good if you need air in your tires not so good with the blower especially if you need a lot of air . Small things I think it would work great as a starter

Nice Little Compressor

Would Recommend

For me and Mrs. this is perfect. I needed a compressor for inflation and small finish jobs and this works perfectly. The Mrs. loves to re-upholster chairs, sofa, etc. She was tired of staple guns and I was tired of a hammer a nail set. Small size fits in the corner of the garage and if the Zero Turn tire is flat in the shed, just carry it down. Seems to recover fast enough for us. Keeps SUV tires up during these cold days of winter. Bought on sale between Christmas and New Years and what was 30 ...
