A Quiet Compressor
This is one of the quietest compressors that I've ever seen. A lot of manufacturers claim their compressors are quiet, this one really is. I bought this compressor thinking that it would be lighter than my twin stack, so I wouldn't be having a hard time moving it around, Wrong, this thing weighs over 50 lbs. You wouldn't think it by looking at it, but it does.
That said, this thing is built like a tank. I don't anticipate it wearing out any time soon.
It has a decent output, for a single user. I wouldn't expect to have a crew working off this one compressor. It only has a 50% duty cycle.
It is a jitterbug, put this down on something that resonates and you will know about it. On a sloped surface, if its suction cup style feet don't have traction, it'll walk away.
It is a slight pain to drain the condensate, as the tap in not directly on the bottom, so you have to tilt it over, to drain it completely.
If I'm working alone, this is the compressor I grab.
