Ratings & Reviews for Project Source 3-Gallon Portable Electric 110 PSI Pancake Air Compressor
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Would RecommendDoes what you would expect of a very cheap air compressor. Very loud, rough sounding. Inflates tires, runs very small tools. For me it will be used rarely for short duration. If you need one for more than that, spend more.

This item is not worth it.
Would Not RecommendIf your going to buy a compressor get the Kobalt 6 gallon air compressor. This cheap one not only was very loud but the high rpm's of the motor broke itself and the smell of burning plastic pretty much gave me the reason to return it. If you get any of the Kobalt products at least returning will be a lot easier.

Very loud noise. does not hold pressure well due to 3 gallons canister. Compressor heats up too quick.

Don't like it, yoo small of a air tank.
Would Not RecommendI bought this just to air up tires. It takes too long to fill the tank up with air. It doesn't hole enough air to fill a tire, then you have to wait for the tank to fill up again.

You get what you pay for
Would Not Recommendit's a $50 compressor. It has hardly any air volume and takes forever to build pressure. i got maybe 5 shots out of it before it had to repressurize with a 16ga nail gun. It overheats pretty quickly if you plan on using it longer than 15 minutes. Mine quit working completely after about an hour.
Compact size
Would RecommendCompact size, works well for normal around the home chores
