  • Worth every penny! And such a beautiful piece of equipment! Love it!
Style: Cool Runner Tank
Absolutely fantastic!! Just got into air brushing and so glad I spent the money to get this compressor! Works beautifully and is so quiet! This may all be for show, but it is beautifully finished and put together so well! This compressor has exceeded my expectations! Highly recommend!

  • Great Value Air Compressor for Hobby Work
Style: Cool Runner
A very impressive little compressor, especially for the cost. It's portable, easy to adjust the pressure, and fit my Paasche without requiring any further adapters. The only note of caution is that the O-ring that they include in the hose is *very* pliable - tighten the airbrush all the way and you'll crush the ring to where it closes off the air flow. But as long as you avoid that, it works great. ... show more

  • Good Mid Range Compressor
Style: Cool Runner Tank
Difficult for me to understand the negative reviews over this compressor setup. My experience has been nothing but positive. I am a scale model builder and this compressor was purchased for the painting of models. I purchased it to replace my aging but still working Badger tankless compressor. First, the compressor setup is of VERY good quality and comes fully assembled ready to use right out of the box. The anodized blue finish on the compressor and black on the air tank was flawless. All assembly points and possible air leak points were tightly sealed. The compressor rapidly filled the tank and MOST impressive was that even at 40lb PSI the compressor could keep up without a drop in pressure even after the tank was depleted. (I never use over 40 lbs. when painting.) At lower pressures around 30 PSI the compressor rapidly refilled the tank and shut off indicating that it was easily keeping up with the air loss in the tank. The pressure regulator comes fitted with the water separator all tightly sealed with a push button drain valve on the bottom making emptying of catch bottle simple and easy. As far as noise, it was a bit more quiet than my old Badger. It gets a bit louder when the tank is at nearly full pressure (which most compressors tend to do) but still quiet enough to not be in the least bit obtrusive. I don't think I could give ay compressor a 5 star rating unless I could barely hear it run or it came in a sound proof enclosure. I WOULD NOT recommend this compressor for a beginner. A beginner would not need this type of compressor to learn how to air brush. Start with air cans and move up. Instructions are minimal maybe with the idea that the purchaser has experience with this type of compressor. Personally, I barely looked at them because I didn't need them. But read them for the purpose of this review. I noticed in some reviews where people said the air pressure adjustment didn't work. Maybe because they didn't know that the adjustment knob needs to be unlocked first by pulling it up. THIS IS clearly indicated in the instruction manual. (which is essentially only 4 pages) IMPORTANT!: This compressor does come with a short 6 ft. hose but it is designed for MASTER airbrushes ONLY. YOU MUST BUY HOSE ADAPTERS FOR OTHER BRANDS OF AIR BRUSHES! I use Paasche and Badger and needed to buy adapters for both. (Available here on Amazon) I do not own an Iwata (yet) so no idea about those. To summarize, IMO this is a fine air brush compressor and I find the price to be quite reasonable. I have seen similar compressors priced at around $300 and bought this after some minor research and deciding it was worth taking a shot. To say the least, I am extremely pleased with this purchase and hopefully look forward to many years of use. ... show more

  • Great purchase
Style: Cool Runner Tank
It came packaged nice and neat the sound is quieter than my harbor freight one and the tank is phenomenal at keeping pressure. My only gripe is that the tube that went to the tank from the compressor was leaking and it wouldn’t stop running. With a little tightening I managed to fix it and it was perfect after that. Maybe a bit more quality control but other than that I love it. ... show more

  • Works well and isn't heavy at all
Style: Cool Runner
Pretty solid choice. I thought it was going to be heavier but it is surprisingly well weighted and portable.

  • Quiet and effective, all you need for airbrushing
Style: Super Cool Runner Tank
Good products perform well and provide good value. Great products perform amazingly and provide ridiculous value. This is a great product. It's design and function is specifically aimed at airbrush enthusiasts, and the value, quality, and functionality are outstanding. Easy to use straight out of the box, just a great piece of worksmanship. The added touches such as a retractable handle, airbrush holders, and rubber feet which reduce "walking" show they understand their audience. Additionally I bought this based on decibels, I was looking for sound mitigation, this has it in spades. This is an amazing air source to push your paints with consistent pressure and minimal maintenance and sound. ... show more

  • High quality air compressor for the money. Super happy with this purchase!
Style: Cool Runner Tank
I've been using this for a couple of months now, and it has been a rock solid upgrade for my airbrush work. It gets to the right pressure quickly and reliably, and the take lets it stay at that pressure basically endlessly. It's also really quiet. I didn't realize how important that was coming from a very loud compressor, but it's been a huge quality of life improvement. I can barely hear it when I'm a couple of rooms away. which my family appreciates! Very happy with my purchase. ... show more
