Would RecommendThe compressor lived up to the quiet promise. I did put a ball vave below the quick connect to take the pressure off when releasing the hose.

Not used yet-my hoses and nozzles are in storage
A Lowe's employee showed me on her tablet that I could get the compressor online for $179, but when I tried I learned that price wasn't a legitimate price.

Pressure Regulator Knob poorly made
Would RecommendMy only complaint with this is the cheap plastic Pressure Regulator knob. It's a splined or knurled plastic female knob that attachés to a steel splined or knurled male shaft. To replace it they send you a new manifold because that knob is glued to the shaft so you have to replace the whole manifold. I replaced it once and made sure I was extra gentle with it (no aver tightening). I am now on my third repair with the same problem! Warranty and support from was very good. Kobalt definitely need...
Surprising little monster
Would RecommendI love this little compressor. So far no problems. My complaint isn't actually with the compressor itself. It is quiet enough that when it is running, I can still hear an audiobook on my Meta Wayfarers. I purchased it to (some) of the work out of some framing in my new workshop and it has delivered. The first round head nail that I sent thru it drove 1/4" into the board. I use a wheelchair and with meds, I can stand a few minutes at a time. I was able to put up furring strips on the rafters to ...

Would Not RecommendDidn't last a year

Everyone is right
Would Not RecommendThere's a serious quality control issue with this compressor. It lasted me 8 months and died. Lowes will not exchange outside of their standard 3 month policy. I recommend looking at Harbor Freight's Fortress series if you are in the market for a quiet air compressor in the same price range. Read through the reviews carefully for this Kobalt compressor before you make your decision.
same as other users
Would Not RecommendI wish I had read the reviews before buying my unit. Mine lasted over 1 year, but I don't use it daily. It is extremely quiet (especially now that it doesn't run anymore!), and I loved it when it worked. Now I need to buy another brand, because I don't want to be caught in bind when a new one fails.
