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.

worse air compressor ever
Would Not RecommendIt is always braking, nonreliable will never buy another Kobalt tool again I am fixing the air compressor more than I have used it. got it for a birthday present and I use it I have to repair it. I could get one from harbor freight and it would last longer. and after all things, it is broken again.

Not for inflating tires
Would Not RecommendI bought this for small power tools and thought I could use it to fill car tires. But it will not fill car tires to more than 30lbs, at least my 17 inch tires. Long story short, it is a volume issue. The air volume of a car tire at 30lbs is larger (4x) than the air volume in the small tank of this compressor at 120lbs. It's a physics thing.
Great Air Compressor
Would RecommendThis compact, easy to use and transport air compressor is perfect for inflating the tires on my truck and boat trailer tires.

Read the specifications before you buy...
Would RecommendMost of the negative reviews appear to be from people who know nothing about air compressors and/or could not be bothered to read the specifications before buying. This compressor does exactly what the specifications support.

Didn't last too long
Would Not RecommendStarted having issues with compressor not shutting off on its own. Would continue to run until relief valve opened. Manual says this is due to pressure switch being stuck and remedy is to replace compressor. I was 6 months outside the 1 yr warranty and kobalt wouldn't replace. Still usable but I expected more than 18 months out of it.

Would RecommendJust the right size for what I needed and to take with us in our small camper. Works well.

Portable air compressor
Would RecommendThis is a nice little compressor for small jobs. I bought it primarily for inflating tires and powering a small finish nail gun,which it does great. I don't think it's powerful enough for much else. I did replace the tiny hose that came with it with a 1/4 inch rubber hose that was more flexible and easier to use.

Light air compressor
Would RecommendEasy to use dual stack compressor. Works well with a brad nailer for indoor trim work. Lowes has offered this at a very competitive price. Relatively quiet when in use. Relatively nice kit comes with compressor.

From truck tires to blowing dust of my work table.
Would RecommendSo this size was compromised size vs price. For the size and total power to what spent on it this was the best deal. I’ve used it time and time again with no problems to clean my work area and fill my tires on my Jeep.

Great portable compressor.
Would RecommendGreat portable compressor for small to medium, jobs. I'm using it with an 18ga brad gun for craft/decor projects. It is a little noisy when filling pressure, but not as noisy as larger models.

Great little compressor
Would RecommendOnly used it two times, once to top off the pressure in car tires and the other time was to blow off dust. Unit is quite but it does take a little time to fill up. It works as advertised and everything I expected.
