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 Not RecommendFirst - I did not have high expectations for this unit since it was really cheap. Main usage was to run blow gun to clear debris from work pieces. When I pulled the unit from the box I could hear material rattling around inside of the tank. Removed bleeder valve assembly and a large amount of mill scale, grit, and debris poured out. Tried vacuum to remove additional material for 30-45 minutes with minimal success. Worst product I’ve ever purchased from Lowe’s - and I’ve been shopping there for 3...
Compressor
Would Not RecommendWorked fine for over a year then quit. Should last for years and years. Don’t buy one.
UNSATISFACTORY

make sure it works
Would Not RecommendSave your receipt! I did not and after only 2 uses it failed to hold air or even inflate a bicycle tire. The customer service can't do anything without reciept even if it is a manufacturing issue. I guess cordless nailers from other retailers that have a return for manufacturing issues policy is key. I will not be shopping at lowes for any projects.
Works great!
Easy to use. Just the right size for me.

Very small compressor
Would RecommendWorks really well as a tire pump, not sure the motor or the tank is large enough for anything else.

cheep, loud, junk
Would Not RecommendI seen this sorry excuse for a compressor taking up space, so I decided to write a review. Only good for is blowing up a beach ball. Will not operate an brad nailer. I was unable to return it, purchased as is. So I returned $600.00 in flooring and have only made 2 small purchase from Lowe's since.
