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.

Runs a lot, but still great value.

Would Recommend

So I never had a compressor before, so take this with a grain of salt. Bought this because the price was great, and upon first use, I will say it is surprisingly quiet (relative to the old 5 gallon hot dog compressor my dad had 25 years ago) and much smoother than I expected, the only drawback is the capacity, I knew it wouldn't be much, but I definitely should've got a 5 gallon unit, this one will run a LOT if you're using the nozzle it comes with even moderately (I was detailing a car engine w...

Kobalt air compressor

Would Recommend

I bought the Kobalt 2 gallon portable electric air compressor to air up my zero mower when necessary. It is easy to operate and a nice weight for me. I will also be using it to inflate pool toys. Good product.

Kobalt 2 gallon air compressor

Would Recommend

Low cost, holds air well, relatively quiet and charges up quickly. What's NOT to like. I use it as a bench supply to power my brad and finish nail guns.

Get what you pay for.

Would Not Recommend

Saw this 2 gallon compressor for 79$ I am re-doing my kitchen cabinets and needed to blow the sanding dust off the cabinet doors after sanding. I figured this would be perfect for the job. I was wrong about that. First off it is pretty light wait and quite compared to some pancake compressors I've owned in the past. This thing takes forever to fill the tank. Once the tank is full you only get about 30 seconds worth of air. The motor can't keep up, even while using the blow gun intermittently. I ...

Good little compressor

Great size as long as you can comprehend what it is capable of. Small jobs. I like it, it fits well in the cluster of life. I would not recommend anything over Brad nails with this as it is not big enough and quick enough to keep up with continual drain but it is a good buy for small projects definitely

Great Small Compressor

Would Recommend

This little compressor takes up very little room but does a great job! Worked great right out of the box. I have a sewing shop with 6 commercial machines. I use it to clean the machines and it does a great job blowing out all the dust from the thread. I'll be trying it for other things in the future. For the price, it's a wonderful little blue machine!!

Ok for the price.

Would Recommend

Operates well, because of the small capacity the air goes fast so if need it for heavy jobs you may want to get a bigger one. It is good for the price.

Small, portable, and relatively quiet

Would Recommend

This compressor is not to be expected to do everything. It will fill balls, pool inflatables, run a nail gun for small projects and blow sawdust off your saw. It will fill car tires but is not super quick due to low output flow. It does what I need when I need to replace some baseboard with a trim nailer at someone else's house and clean off the saw. I have a larger shop compressor for air tools and larger jobs I don't expect this compressor to handle.
