It’s very light, very compact, very well built, and the quietest compressor I’ve ever had. Best of all, it doesn’t require much current at all to start and run full cycle- meaning it can be used at any plug, and doesn’t mind being used at the end of long extension cords. I bought it for portable use around the home and shop, applications where carrying this is easier than dragging hundreds of feet of hose around from a stationary compressor. Applications this will be god for: -small blowgun jobs, cleaning small parts or clearing dust from small areas - bikes, balls, sports equipment -filling automotive, light truck, ATV, lawn equipment tires -air powered finish/trim nailers The tank is just a gallon and the CFM of the tiny compressor isn’t much. As long as you aren’t making unrealistic expectations of this compressor, it will be handy for many, many uses home and shop alike. Review: Quiet and its built well! - Great little air compressor. If you're a hobbyist and you work in your garage. Super quiet, which makes it fantastic and just enough air, to work on your projects that need air. Highly recommend, well built. ## Features - Powerful 1/6 maximum horsepower induction motor provides up to 125 PSI - Lightweight design (23.1 lbs.) for increased job site portability - Low noise for operator comfort; ideal for indoor use - Low AMP draw reduces incidents of tripped breakers at start-up.
