Metabo HPT Quiet Air Compressor | 125 PSI | 1 Gallon | EC28M

I love this little gem, it is so quiet and fills up so fast. Its perfect for my small projects.

Love it

This compressor makes your life so much easier for you without having to deal with the earth shattering rumble of a normal pancake compressor when you’re trimming out inside of an occupied house for a multiunit building. Only had a short time so cannot speak for durability, but seems far better built than any junk he will buy them from Harbor freight, etc. Worth every cent.

Great quiet compressor for 1 month and 3 days. Today went to turn it on and it is leaking out of the check valve and unusable because it cant build pressure in the tank. Its really awesome how this happened 3 days after the 1 month no questions asked return window. Now I have to take my time and take it to a warranty service center. Not what you expect from either Hitachi or Metabo hopefully this isnt the case for Metabo/HPT or they are going to ruin two great brands. I am glad I dont have a finish carpentry job this week.

I returned this unit because it began tripping it’s thermal breaker. I could hold my hand against ant portion of it and it wasn’t hot, not even real warm.

Note its 1 gallon, and at 100 PSI, this thing is empty in literally like 1-2 seconds. But, more importantly, my unit failed immediately, with a leak at the regulator valve, which slowly dissipated air pressure through that valve, no matter how tight or loose I had it, all the way out or in. So I see this piece of included paper: STOP. DO NOT RETURN to THE STORE. CALL US UP FOR TECH SUPPORT! So I call them up. They say, uh, just return it. LOL. What clowns. That being said, I am getting another one, because its so damn easy to return stuff with Amazon, and this unit is SO SO QUIET that you wont believe its working, so Ill take another chance. I am not pumping up truck tires, I am only using it for shop air to blow out dirt and other issues from crevices, and this will work fine for that. Especially in my small shop, this unit being so quiet is a godsend compared to my older Craftsman 5 Gal compressor which required me to put on hearing protection. Update: new unit performs as expected. I think the problem with the original is that there was some foreign material inside the unit, which I could see was coming out of the water drain valve and pressure release valve. Maybe some metal grit from the machining process, and it probably also got into the pressure relief valve and caused the seals to be ruined. Though, still, the one gallon capacity is like NOTHING.... that motor will need to constantly be on if you are using a steady stream of air at any pressure.

keep up the good work. thank you.

It was a little too small for my application. I think most people would do better looking for a bigger tank. The system is extremely quiet. So quiet that I would have been fine with a little louder trade off for bigger tank or faster filling.

Use it for trim in occupied houses and everyone thinks its to cool.
