Review on Portable Oilless Air Compressor With 3 Gallon Horizontal Tank And 10-Piece Accessory Kit: Including Air Hose And Inflation Gun - Campbell Hausfeld FP209499AV by Gavin Ghram

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Super loud but great value

I didn't expect much quality for the price but it's actually well built and comes with everything I needed to inflate tires and blow air with quick release adapters so I don't have to unscrew anything.The only downside is the noise it makes, it's so loud that it would require earplugs within 10 feet.The first time it has to be run wide open for 30 minutes to allow the pump to settle in otherwise it will lose compression the same way a poorly broken-in car engine would.I suspect the plastic shroud is amplifying the noise so I'm tempted to line it with noise-absorbing foam if it can fit it without trapping the heat.At least for typical use I can let it refill on its own and use it quietly as 3 gallons is more than I ever need.

Pros
  • ‎120 Volts
Cons
  • The kit may be missing certain items, leading to a delay in work or frustration for the user
