  • Best air compressor out there, quiet is key for the garage shop!
Style: 4 Hp w/Auto Drain
This is definitely the best compressor I've had yet. It's much quieter than the dual piston one I had before. Its capacity is pretty close to the one I had, perhaps just a bit more. I added some wheels to it so I could move it around. It's not that I move it around that much being it's 220V, It's that I have it under my bench and need to move it around when I want to work on the dust collector system. ... show more

  • Nice unit but auto water release is well over 75 DB
Style: 4 Hp w/Auto Drain
Nice unit but much louder than the 2 HP CA units I have but 75 DB is not that bad. Got the auto water drain, great to have but it’s much louder than 75 DB and goes off as factory set every 2 minutes.

  • Great Compressor So Far
Style: 4 Hp w/Auto Drain
This replaced an old 2HP compressor in my shop. This builds pressure super quick, is super quiet and is working flawlessly so far. I have it hooked up to an IR Air Dryer and I run both drain valves into pneumatic sintered silencers and into a gallon jug to catch the bleed off since I don't want to route it outside for my neighbors to hear. It's a quiet setup and works wonderful for my milling machines and blast cabinet! ... show more

  • Oil Free Air Compressor
Style: 4 Hp w/Auto Drain
Limited maintenance needed. Works well for us in small lab/workshop space. Plenty of capacity. Not as loud as traditional upright compressors. Highly suggest you get the auto drain feature. Works well to keep the moisture out of your equipment. Easy to move around if needed
