Metabo HPT Quiet Air Compressor | 125 PSI | 1 Gallon | EC28M

Cannot believe how quiet it is! The day after I purchased it, Amazon dropped the price to $129. So, I had to return the $169 and order a $129 one. Best $129 I ever spent. This thing is silent. SOOO much better than the normal loud one I had before.

Every positive review you read of this compressor is right on. Based on those good reviews I felt comfortable buying this air compressor. Because I was doing some framing with dimensional lumber, I decided to try this little thing for the fun of it. I coupled it with a short hose to my metabo auxiliary tank that I already had, the one Ive included a picture of. I found that with the extra pressure maintenance of the extra tank, this little compressor will keep up with framing as long as youre not doing rapid production jobsite framing of entire walls. We were doing a roof overhang makeover that required a fair amount of figuring, cutting, aligning, etc between nail shots, so we werent pushing the air needs to an extreme. I have another large 220V compressor that will keep up with all but heavy air use associated with complete repaint coat of a vehicle. This little compressor will be handy for many remote applications, especially if you have a quality auxiliary tank. FWIW, I filled the tank with the other compressor so I started out with a full tank that I hooked the little Metabo to, then started the framing work. So the little Metabo didnt have to work to fill up the tank from the very beginning. No overheating or circuit breaker tripping at all, so very pleased with the results. This is a good little compressor. Youll like it!

Seriously, why cant everyone make a compressor like this? This baby just purrs when it kicks in, instead of rattling the windows like most others do. I also have the Rolair JC10, which sounds almost exactly the same, but weighs twice as much. This one is perfect for grabbing on the go when you just need to drive a few nails or staples to finish a project.

i bought it two months ago yesterday was the third time i used it and it stoped working under the pump it was a pile of metal dust i opend it it was all metal on metal scraping so they made this garbage not to last honestly im going american made from now on its worth the money do not buy this product and i dont know where they get the good rating from its suspicious.

It works great. Don’t even know it’s running. For putting up trim you can’t beat it.

I returned this unit because it began tripping it’s thermal breaker. I could hold my hand against ant portion of it and it wasn’t hot, not even real warm.

This compressor has been perfect for my needs. Super quiet.

Shipped with a broken quick coupler and had to supply my own. Tried blowing off my work bench and pressure drops off 10lb/sec with the motor running. Worked pretty well with my brad nailer, firing 7 nails before motor kicks in. Probably best for an airbrush or stapler.

Compressor was as advertised- small, (relatively) light weight, and very quiet. Works great BUT I was disappointed in the fit and finish. The protective “roll cage” had dents and creases that apparently weren’t noticed or thought a problem by quality control since the damaged areas were painted over. Hope this isn’t indicative of a slide in quality from Hitachi to Metabo.

Quiet, lightweight. Plenty of power for finish work
