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.

For my garage

Would Recommend

I bought the Project Source pancake air compressor for my garage! I have a lift and frequently help friends and family if they are having car troubles. For me, it’s the perfect size for smaller tasks like refilling tires, a quick use of my half inch air gun, or even just blowing out the hard to reach places! If you use a lot of air tools you might want to go for one with a bigger tank but for me, this works great!

It works.

Would Recommend

It works so far. Noisy but no more than other oilless compressors I have owned. I tested it prior to giving it to my son. I wanted to be in the return window in case it was DOA. All good!

Good compressor for the price

Would Recommend

It does the job that I need it to do as far as small jobs like pumping up tires. But it is extremely loud. For the price, not a bad deal at all.

Good for small, quick jobs.

Would Recommend

Small tank, so pressure doesn't last long and it takes several minutes to build back up. Good for dusting out computers or filling a tire with a small amount of air. I'm not sure if you could actually fill up a completely flat tire with this on one fully pressurized tank. If you can catch it on sale, it is definitely handy to have with it being so portable. For anything more than quick jobs, you'll probably want something more substantial.

It works great for what it is

Would Recommend

It's only used for nail guns and to air up tires I was hoping I could use it for a paint sprayer cannot I already knew this actually I looked it up beforehand so it's really my own fault

Good small compressor. Easy to carry.

Would Not Recommend

Good design with top handle so it’s easier to carry than other types that have oblong tank. The pressure switch control is odd and I could not determine when it would trigger. Sometimes it would not start when pressure was called for and other times it would start on its own. I had to return since I could not understand the operation.

Total Crap

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this one week ago because my compressor motor died and I needed a way to keep a bad tire inflated every couple of days. This compressor worked for exactly one week before it no longer fills the tank. I purchased the extended warranty but seeing how it did not last longer than a week I'm going to try to just take it back to the store.

Low capacity

Would Not Recommend

Gauge didn’t work. Did not store enough air to get the job done.
