Customer Reviews for EMAX Silent Air Industrial E350 Series 80 Gal. 175 psi 7.5 HP 31 CFM 1-Phase 2-Stage Stationary Electric Air Compressor

Ok so first off I'm going to start with a few things I was curious about during the process of purchasing this air compressor. I purchased the single phase 10 hp 80 gallon unit with the whisper 100. it came shipped in a crate standing upright and bolted to a full size pallet, not a half pallet for those wondering if a full size pallet jack may be needed.... it will be. something else I was curious about was the time it took to fill the compressor from 0 psi until it shuts off. This unit took 3 minutes and 45 second to fill from empty. I was impressed. I then slowly drained the tank to see how long it would take to refill. the computer kicked on around 125 psi and too 35 seconds until it turned off. again, impressed. for the size of this compressor I would expect it to be much louder. unit sista to be very well made and would be surprised if I ever had to buy another air compressor.

I just got the compressor set up. Compressor was shipped to the store in a large crate to protect it during shipping. Plan on having a forklift capable of lifting 1000 lbs to unload it into your shop. After I got it set up and wired to a 60 amp breaker the compressor started right up and runs extremely quietly. I have another small compressor that moves 1/10th the air that is three or four times as loud as this one. It is incredible that they can make a compressor this quiet.

If you want one of the best and quietest compressors on the market look no further. The quality of this compressor excedes all others I looked at in this price range. Emax takes building quality and quiet compressors serious. There's no job too big for a compressor like this especially in your home garage. After numerous reviews and a lot of research I ended up buying this compressor and as far as I can tell so far this should be the last one I ever buy. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know.

I'm very impressed with the quality of this unit. When it arrived it was well protected with a crate(No Damage). After I removed the crate, and inspected the unit I was impressed to see the quality componets that were used on this air compressor. Especially for the price point of this compressor you are getting alot for the money. This is a compressor you can plan on having for a long time.

I received my EMAX compressor. It was everything that it was advertised to be. This compressor is quieter than the Craftsman that it replaced and that goes a long way for me. I can see that this compressor is designed well. I'm looking forward to years of service!

Home Depot was very helpfull in getting this compressor ordered, it was delivered as expected. The Emax compressor came in a wooden crate very well made unit compared to some of the others I looked at runs smooth and quite we are very happy with purchase also had a few guestions before installing talked to Natalie at Emax great customer service I would recommend This 5 hp 80 gal.Emax compressor to all who wants the best industry leading warranty on a compressor which most of the parts are made here in the USA.

We purchased this air compressor and am very pleased with it.

Thing thing is amazing! Nicest and quiestest compressor I have ever seen or heard. Very happy with it!

Commpresor showed up in an awesome protective crate, absolutely perfect condition, compressor is quite, and produces plenty of air quickly. Very impressed, highly recomended.

I love this compressor! I have used it now for a few months and it does everything I need it to do. It is a little louder than I expected but at 20 feet away it really doesn't bother you while working. I went back and forth on spending less money to get a "cheap" compressor but decided to go with them for a few reasons. First I have to say that I called to complain over a year ago because I bought a this once and I ended up with a problem through Home Depot (before I picked it up) so I called Emax directly and Natalie was one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with over the phone which was the main reason I bought it from them again. Second thing is I love the look and style. Third thing was that I have painted most of my life and wanted to find a compressor that didn't build up heat and moisture and so far this has been great with very little moisture coming out of the drains (I installed a second one too). I don't regret spending more on this compressor for one second. If you look at my pictures I did add 1/2" pipe coming out and over the top to my filter on the other side.

I have had my Emax silent compressor for just about 1 year now. It is used to run the coolant and air systems on a number of CNC mills in my garage CNC shop. It sits about 8ft away from the closest mill and really is a silent as they claim. There is a sort of "bang" when it starts and it has made me jump once or twice, but it is super silent (measured at 68dBA right next to the unit while running) just as claimed. It is easy to have a normal conversation in the shop while it is running. Stepping outside, it can only JUST be heard through the garage door. Our shop AC unit makes more noises (normal AC noise levels) than the Emax does through the thin metal garage door. My neighbors have no clue I am milling at 3am. With the inner garage door closed, you can not hear it at all inside, which of course makes my wife VERY happy late at night. It does take #4 wire to run the power (if under a 100' run. #3 if over 100'), so make sure you have that in place with a 60A breaker, so make sure you have those in place and ready to go. The compressor runs about 5-6 days a week for 12+ hour days and often over night also. Some of the larger mill runs can be 12+ hours (it only cycles once every 5-10 minutes and only runs for 1-2 minutes when it does on a single mill) It does produce a large amount of air at the stated pressure and has been a total joy to use. I now run 4 CNC mills off of it and it still has no issues at all keeping up. I suggest installing an auto drain to make sure it stays well drained, also be sure to change your oil as suggested, they are pretty strict about it in the manual for warranty sake. There really is no way to compare this to a "normal" heavy duty compressor. While they might cost less upfront, The lack of noise from the Emax is worth every single penny and it is built to top notch quality. When we outgrow this one, we plan to stay with Emax and move to their rotary screw compressors. Every day when I walk out into the shop and see it in the corner, I am reminded of how great of a compressor it is and how glad I am I made the purchase. As a small business owner, I know this is not a small purchase for many folks (myself included). But this is one of those purchases that was right on the money and has lived up to all expectations and more. My Emax is a source of pride, a great tool that does it's job and does it REALLY well. Without my Emax, I could never run my small CNC shop at home without bothering my neighbors.

I am very happy with this compressor. It's quieter than my old Craftsman and has much more capacity and power. It's the best bang for the buck.

This product should be what is offered in store. Anyone can buy a cheap compressor from Harbor Freight or Tractor Supply. Even the Husky compressor is lacking in quality. One thing that stands out about this compressor is it is very quiet. I have a small shop and can still have a normal conversation standing next to the compressor while it is running. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

Purchased this compressor from Home Depot and had them deliver to me. Best Compressor that I have owned. First off it came crated in its own wooded case very very nice! Got it hooked up unbelievably quiet. Very fast from 0-175psi. Its the Cadillac of air compressors no doubt, Thak You Home Depot and E Max Air.

This has been the first air compressor I’ve had that I didn’t have to stop working to let the machine catch up. Two solid days of using die grinders, cut off wheels, and sanders. There was even a few times I was working and the machine filled up and shut off while I was working. My son even commented that the walls of his room don’t vibrate when it is on. As well as he is able to be in the garage and actually talk to me while it is running. This air compressor isn’t for a light duty user.

Great upgrade to our shop when our old compressor of 25 plus years gave out. very pleased with how quiet. Had some problems had to order 2 times as first shipment never arrived. Customer service handle all issues. i am happy with my purchase.

Had a few issues but customer service was great and fixed everything, its a great air compressor for my large shop and runs everything i need it too.

I bought a 10 hp Emax compressor & I liked it very well So I bought a 5 hp Emax with silent air for my other shop, I really like the silent air. The compressor I think is a lot better made than my old compressor. If you buy one I don't think you'll regret it

The compressor meets the advertised requirements and works well with air tools, the main purpose for purchase is to do automotive painting, and works great, would recommend this to anyone looking for a great compressor.

It cost me $100 for an electrician to tell me the unit was defective and could not be hooked up. Eaton said they would replace the part, but I would have to pay an electrician to replace it. I indicated that was not satisfactory. Home Depot said they would give me a store credit and I could order another one. Since it took 10 days to get the first one, I suspect it will be another month before I have a compressor again. I am a very unhappy customer.

It's more than I expected, if I ever need another one I will buy the same one E350

looks really beautiful, have not used it, had to have it here for the electricians to wire up for the CO of our new shop. we just hope it performs as good as it looks.

This is a great air compressor . Very quite compared to my previous IR compressor . It has the proper CFM specs for running my 1” impact gun , HVLP paint spray gun , and orbital sander . I had a question about what size wire and breaker to run so I called the factory and got an answer very quickly. The automatic drain was a great bonus that I didn’t realize I’ve been missing out on with my previous compressors.

easy to install and runs well

Just purchased. First impressions; Quality compressor. Reasonably priced. Very happy with my purchase.

Workhorse that is perfect for a home or mid-sized commercial shop. this thing is built lile a tank and I expect it will be here in the shop longer than I will be around. =)

I finally have a compressor that I do t have to sit and wait for it to build back pressure. This things keeps up with me. Extremely satisfied with this machine.
