Review: Si bien es menos ruidoso que otros compresores es más ruidoso de lo que esperaba, me gusta que la presión la mantiene constante y el automático funciona de maravilla y es muy compacto, lo único malo es que no puedo trabajar muy noche por el ruido, por lo demás muy bien
Review: I mostly bought this compressor for cleaning my pellet stoves and computers(with pressure dialed down), as the compressed air dusters run out of pressure really fast and are expensive. So I ordered an air kit to go with the compressor. The compressor works great and fills up very quickly. It is surprisingly quiet, not like those pancake compressors which sound like a jackhammer. I was a little worried about the quick connect air hose attachment on the compressor-the release ring looked like it was stuck. I thought I might have to replace it, but as soon as I plugged in a male quick connect fitting, it popped securely in place. This compressor is very well designed with quality craftmanship. The compressor has no where near the power of my Campbell Hausfeld 5HP 26 Gallon compressor, but it will come in handy for cleaning, and is definitely more portable than my big brute, lol! I love this thing!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I've read review reports of debris (metal pellets) in the tank.  Has this been resolved?**
A: I just ordered mine (12/2017) and it came with pellets in the tank.  Returning it as defective for another one at the moment.

**Q: what do I need to buy to be able to use iwata airbrushes**
A: If I remember correctly, iwata airbrushes use 1/8" thread. There are a few ways to resolve this issue:
1. Use a 1/4" male to 1/8" male adapter to replace the universal 1/4″ quick connector. Then you can use your 1/8" hose to connect it.
2. Buy a quick connector plug which with 1/8" thread.
3. If you want to add a water trap, you need to find a 1/4" in and 1/8" out.

*by F***T on 16 January 2026*

Great design, nothing sticks out, plenty light for one arm. I’ve run 15ga and 18ga nailers, a crown stapler and inflated some car tires. Quieter than my 6 gallon, shop compressor is Husky silent and is obviously defeated by Cali air tools. If you’re new to the maker, I’ve had nothing but awesome experiences. I’ve got an ultra quiet 6 gallon as my first and talk about a champ. Still running great and I was treating my machines like a barbarian. Like a child preparing a home for a captured animal. Well intentioned but Jesus Christ what are you thinking. Anyway. If this wasn’t Amazon gift cards I’d have used their website to help them out. Super happy, this is exactly the tiny compressor I should have bought.
