What Customers Are Saying

This small air compressor is suitable for basic tasks like inflating tires and running small air tools. Many customers found it to be a good value, especially when purchased on sale. However, it has some limitations - it is very loud when running, the 3-gallon tank size means it takes a long time to fill and doesn't provide much air capacity for extended use, and it may not be powerful enough for larger jobs or tools that require higher air flow. Overall, it is a decent budget-friendly option for light-duty home and DIY use, but customers should be aware of its limitations.

Good Price, but very loud

Would Not Recommend

Like others have said, this is loud. I took a chance for the price but it is significantly louder then I thought/expected. If your looking for cheap once in while compressor for car tires, and basketballs/footballs would be fine, but for an everyday compressor I'd spend slightly more and get a quiet one.

Check it before leaving the store!!!

Would Not Recommend

The good news is that this one wasn't broken. This review is more for service after the "sale" than the quality of the machine itself. The new one works well to power my brad nailer. I bought one of these compressors Dec 30, 2024. Late the week before last, I finally unboxed it. As I took it out and removed the packing material, the regulator assembly fell off into my hand. It was broken off down into the body of the compressor. I took it back. The refund went without a hitch, and I went...

Perfect for a small tool

Would Recommend

The compressor is noisier than most I've used but, when the tank is full, I rarely need to refill the tank when using a 23-ga tool. Small and very portable...I can do delicate trim work with smaller moldings and not get in the way of others.

loud compressor

Would Recommend

Overall it works well as expected, but it is very loud for such a small compressor. Works great for tires, and things as needed.

Great inexpensive (especially on sale!) compressor

Needed a inexpensive compressor to use in the house (and more portable than the one in the garage). This was on sale for $40 and fits my needs perfectly!
