Where have you been all my life! Finally a quiet air compressor.
I have always hated the different air compressors I have owned. They were so loud and the particular frequency seemed like it was literally penetrating your brain (even with ear plugs). When my old one quit working I was determined to find a quiet one. And I'm so pleased with this one, the noise level is WAY better and even the noise it does make is at a much lower frequency. I can use it with the radio on in the garage and still hear it fine or you could easily carry on a conversation with someone right in the area. The time it takes to get up to pressure is a little longer than my old one but that is a tiny price to pay for the noise reduction. I love it so far!

    It’s nice to be able to run the compressor and have a conversation in the same space and not have to scream to be heard.

          Operationally, good
          Compressor worked fine, quiet. Handle is not angled so its awkward using it.

            This air compressor is a joy to work around. Extremely quiet motor works great at keeping the tank full of air. You can barely hear it run. Well made, and you can tell it was constructed by a company that care about your satisfaction. Oh and the most important thing. It is made in the USA. Most of the other compressors are either built in China, or their parts are made in China and they are assembled here. Let's support our companies that are truly " Made in the USA" Great compressor.

                        Very quiet compressor. It run inside my shed with no problems. It doesn't refill quite as fast as the Kobalt 8 galllon one it replaced but its well worth the purchase price for me.

                          Extremely quiet. Doesn’t hold up to use of impact wrench etc for auto work. But I bought it for the quietness not the size/power

                            Quite but no pressure
                            On a positive note the compressor was very quite. On a negative note it doesn't come close to its published maximum pressure of 120psi. After trying two different units, the best it would do is 90 PSI at either gauge. Both were returned for refunds.

                            Tool regulator gauge doesn’t work and still trying to get a hold of warranty people. So I can get something done about it.

                                          I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend and was impressed on how quiet it actually is. We have barely used it a couple times but so far we like it.
