> 3 dayThis is a great compressor. I install cabinets for a living and this compressor does everything I need. It is light weight and has plenty of pressure. I have bought two over the years and highly recommend it.

> 3 dayLooove this little compressor. Its very lightweight and small. Takes up a lot less space in my truck than my pancake compressor. It is also very quiet. Sounds like a loud refrigerator or window ac. Not obnoxiously loud like the pancake model. Perfect for my small jobs where its just me working and not needing a large air volume. It will even supply enough air for my framing nailer. It cycles on about every 2nd or 3rd nail when using the framing nailer, less often with a smaller nailer. This is my go to compressor now when Im working alone.

> 3 dayThis is the cutest little compressor I have ever seen with a tank. I wouldnt use it for any nailing like many of the other reviewers. I have a 1hp Craftsman with a 5 gal tank on wheels to do that. I bought this to inflate medical cart and hose reel cart tires. for that it will work fine. It only pumped up to 125lbs.,. not the 150. Took about 1 1/2 minutes the first time. Seems to cut in around 90 psi and shuts off at 125 psi. For ANY nailing contrary to the other reviews, using this would drive me crazy waiting for it to pump up.

> 3 dayI havent actually used it yet. The things I like all ready is that it weighs only 18 pounds. It is super quiet. Well made, so that if it did fall over, it wouldnt bend any pipes , or knock anything off. Everything is well protected by the carrying handle. I used mostly brad guns while out on the job installing trim on cabinets. I dont use a large volume of air. So much easier to lift and carry than my Emglo portable , which by the way has been a terrific compressor. Looks to be oiless as far as I can tell.

Greater than one weekI had one of these about 15 years ago and sold it because I had a big compressor. I regretted it, so I bought another one. I use it for airing up tires on the all my vehicles. It was a great compressor then, and they are making them the same way now. Its small, so dont expect to run an impact. It fills and stays full. It doesnt lose air and keep cycling. Its also very quiet in my opinion.

22-11-2024Great for small jobs, trim work, and when you dont want to lug a big compressor around. Suitable for baseboard and casing installation too. The only weakness Ive found is that the check valve failed within two years. Its a $16 part so not a huge deal but I have other compressors that have been cranking for 10 years without any repair parts needed. Its so small and light. Love it despite the necessary repair.

> 3 dayAt first I loved this product, small, portable but did the job. I use it mainly to blow dust off of gear after uses. It only holds enough air to dust off a couple of seconds. Then it takes about a minute before its recharged. What really concerns me is when I dump the air tank (after each use) now when I dump the air rust POORS out of it. When will I learn not to buy cheaper products!

> 3 dayAs others have written, this unit is lightweight and quiet compared to slight larger compressors. I have a craftsman 1.5 hp compressor that is heavy and rusting away and it is much louder than this senco unit. Because of its low cfm, it forced me to consider if it was too small for my Bostitch trim nailer which seemed to require much higher cfm. Turns out the nailer cfm rating were for 100 nails per minute! The only application I have seen at that rate is a mexican nailing on a roof. If one is carefully nailing trim, a rate of 5 per minute is more likely. Upon using this compressor and the nailer, I found it worked just fine. It will probably work for larger nailers also but will not work for rotary power tools and the like that require continuous cfm. Also I found senco support to be quickly responsive. I went to their web site to download a digital copy of the manual and found an out-of-date version. I filled out their web form on a Sunday asking for the newer version and had it in an email before noon on Monday. Hard to beat.

> 3 dayI was looking for a quite little compressor for my work area in the basement. I load my own ammunition, clean pistols & rifles as well as other hobby type projects. Wanted something to blow off excess cleaning fluid and dry parts after cleaning. Also needed something to keep the reloading area free of unwanted materials that can build up. Ive used Senco staple and nail guns for over forty years and have found them to be well made and durable. Figured Id give this small compressor a try. Glad I did. Its fairly quite for the confined area Im using it in and doesnt take up much space. Its been used now for a couple of months with absolutely no issues, hiccups or problems. Just plug it in and use it. I did purchase the... Legacy A73457D Color Connex Type D 7 Piece 1/4 in. Red Coupler and Plug Kit, Plastair HoseKoil PU425-1-3-AMZ 1/4-Inch x 25-Foot Polyurethane Lead Safe Ultra-Light Recoil Air Hose, Blue and the Campbell Hausfeld MP5143 Pistol Grip Blowgun ... to use with the compressor and they all work fine. The Legacy Color Connex connector kit had exactly what I needed by way of male/female connectors for the whole set up. Make sure you have a role of teflon tape to wrap the threads before assembly and youre good to go. No air leaks what-so-ever. The compressor comes with a regulator that allows you to adjust the pressure going to the hose which is a plus. The air gun also allows further air-flow adjustment with the trigger. All four items are first class in my opinion. Im a cabinetmaker by trade, so Ive used lots of compressors and accessories over the years. For what I wanted out of this system it is delivering 100% and well worth the money. I can recommend this to anyone looking for a small, quite hobby compressor to use indoors or out. I plan to build a sound-reduction cover for the unit and further reduce the noise it makes simply because its used indoors and I usually have music playing while working in the basement, but its fine as is since the amount of air Im using isnt a constant drain and the machine only runs for a few minutes at a time. If you need a compressor that will have to run hard to keep up with your usage you should look to a larger system. Keep in mind this has only a one gallon storage tank. Constant, high-volume usage will keep the motor running full time and may not keep up with your demand.
