  Buy it. Super quality, works perfectly and was really low cost.

  Packed in ha...lf inch thick honeycomb cardboard composite, even the box is impressive! It's a really nice little compressor, solidly built and very good quality. If you are worried about noise but need a small to moderate amount of compressed air then this is perfect. Note - it is NOT silent. 67dB was never going to be silent. The really quiet compressors that sound like a domestic refridgerator are like 10 times the cost of this thing though. Subjectively, the noise is half way between the moisy standard compressors and the silent refridgerator typed. It is not bad at all, I would happily use it indoors and know the neighbours are not going to be bothered by it. Incidentally, I tested it with a sound presure level meter, and it read within 1dBA of the advertised claims. The build quality is good. I could easily have been convinced it was one of the many Italian compressors, it does not seem Chinese at all. The quality of just about all of the ancillary equipment is good. One very good point - it is extremely good at holding air, dropping less than 0.5 bar overnight, even with the inline tap turned on so the Euro style quick release connector is pressurized too. And one bad point - the normal compressor control unit red up/down on-off switch is very very stiff. It takes two hands and most of my strength to turn it off, albeit it is mounted with the switch just above eye height. I'd be interested to hear if the supplier thinks this is normal or if I have had bad luck and have a bad control unit. The motor cuts in when the tank pressure drops below 6 bar and cuts out at just under 8 bar. The manual hints at a screw to adjust it, but also tells you not too adjust it!. Most people should be happy with the factory seeting anyway. Don't forget the extra bits and pieces you will need, they can add up to a significant cost. You really must use a water trap. These traps have a glass bowl that traps water from the compressed air so you can periodically empty with a quick push on the nozzle. It has a pressure regulator, a pressure gauge, and input and output ports. These are usually female threaded 1/4" BSP holes. Some come with one male and one female quick release connectors. You will also need to plumb the compressor to the trap, and the trap to an outlet (usually a quick release coupling). Make sure the trap is solidly mounted as you will be connecting airlines into it with a reasonable amount of push. When you get the various connector parts, give thought to a couple of things. Firstly, not much new equipment is still using the old quick fot connectors, mosat now use Euro quick connect system, at least in Europe they do. Secondly, think about plumbing a 1-to-2 Y adapter on the output so you have two female Euro quick connectores ready to be used. It can be very useful to be able to easily plug in more than one piece of equipment. Anyway, great bit of kit, you won't find better value.

  Compact, portable and VERY quiet

  I bought this to run my pneumatic nail guns... and it’s ideal, the carry handle and relative light weight make it easy to move around. It is significantly quieter than a conventional compressor, I have run this building furniture in a bedroom next to my kids room while they are asleep! It has a few nice touches like high flow QD fittings in the box and soft rubber feet to reduce vibration also.

  Silent compressor

  I've looked at these compressors for years and I've humme...d and ared about the noise level between the standard 96db compressor and these quite one's at 66db. Not much difference in the numbers but I wish I'd bought one years ago you could use it all night in the house and it wouldn't wakeup anyone. The air pressure is second to none too. All in all a fantastic bit of kit for any hobbiest and keen Diyer alike.

  Terrific machine and a good price.

  Its a great little machine, nothing compl...icated about it. worked straight out of the box, no frills bells or whistles to worry about. I plugged in my nail gun and did what I wanted it for. I believe its not any good for spraying or as a a spanner for wheel nuts..

  Brilliant- no issues

  Exactly what I had hoped for. Had done a little digging... on this brand/product and a lot of reviews said it was good but expect some small issues (expected for the price) but I actually haven't had any as of yet! Everything was present when opening the box and it's way quieter than I thought..
