It was easy to assemble the hose and easy to use. this compressor is very compact yet it does everything that I need it to do such as car and bike tires and sports equipment.
But even Amazon's price is well worth it. This is a fantastic machine for small nail jobs and inflating things so I don't know what others are expecting. Also, I bought mine brand new on sale from Ha**** Fr***** for $55.00. I don't know if the reviewers who complained about the noise have ever used an air compressor before but this one is not that loud at all. My only tiny complaint is that I wish the max pressure was 120 instead of 100. And I don't know how one could expect a 2 gallon tank to provide any type of continuous airflow for cleaning, spraying etc. Also, oilless compressors always take a little more time to pump up a full charge. I am a professional woodworker and this lightweight little guy is so perfect for pick-up air nailing work or where a small trim job is needed and I don't want to lug around even a pancake unit.
The tank isn't big enough to do any big jobs, but it's small enough that the package easily fits on a small shelf space in the garage. Yeah, it's a little noisy, but less noisy than other compressors that I've used - including the little 12v that I throw in the car trunk. Once the 2 gallon tank is charged the motor turns off and only turned on sporadically while I used it on a nail gun to put back molding after painting a room.
You certainly don't want it in your house. It's also unbelievably loud, louder than my big (also oilless) compressor that I previously thought was intolerably loud. It will be faster, and you won't go deaf in the process. If I only had to listen to all that noise for a few seconds I might be able to tolerate it, but this thing takes several minutes to charge up.I give it two stars, but that might be generous.
I'm in the market for a small and light air compressor. I'm hard pressed to figure out what value it has, but it's conceivable that someone might figure one out.I returned mine, so I'm still in the market for a small and light air compressor. A car tire would be a closer call, but I'd still bet on the hand pump getting the job done sooner. I don't like having to drag my big compressor around just to drive a couple of nails.
If all you want to do is pump up a bike tire, get a hand pump. Now I'm more particular about checking out the noise before buying. This one IS small and light. It's also very slow to fill the tank.
Works wonderful on tires and is compact. Great product for the size and price.
