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

Relative to many other compressors it is quiet, but dont expect it to be silent, its definitely not. Its like a loud person talking level. Guess I was expecting too much from some of the rave reviews. Also the packaging has the regulator and air output pushed against the box face, leaving little to no protection when shipped. Lucky for me, both the regulator and air output had pushed through the box but were not damaged (as far as I can tell). Some reviewers had the regulator fail later, and It may have been caused by shipping damage, so look closely for shipping damage.

Fast delivery and quiet work meets my needs

Quite, lightweight and perfect for my needs.

If you only need a small capacity compressor to run a little finish gun or similar, this thing rocks. So freaking quiet, with little suction cup feet that keep it from sliding all around on the floor when it cycles, drain cock isnt a horrible threaded little brass fitting that you can never tighten enough by hand, but instead a 90 degree valve on or off. Just miles and miles better in every way than the horrible little oil compressor I picked up at home depot to do the same job and was almost glad to see bite the dust...

worked fine for 5 months then started making a cluniking/sputtering noise (loudly!)

Unit is very quiet .. holds enough air to air a tire up on a car, it’s very quiet and recharged the tank pretty quick!

Nice small compressor, super quiet, works great for most of the homeowner tasks like cleaning of the chainsaws etc

I needed a small compressor for interior trim etc. And until now I have used a long retractable reel and compressor mounted in my van. It’s always weird to drag a hose through and door/window which has its own annoyances. Also hate dragging the bigger compressor around for small jobs or finish carpentry. This unit is so light and unbelievably quiet! When I turned on I was blown away. I wished it had higher regulated pressure but so far it’s been great for pins/brads/finish nails. It even drives 2.5” coil nails, but you have to let the motor catch up so you can’t rapid fire. For a remodel it may shoot a few framing nails too, but within reason and one might have to hammer the nail right.

We purchased this compressor for some printing equipment at our factory. It runs a small pneumatic mechanism that clamps down our material. The actual compressor rarely runs as the printer requires very little air pressure to activate the mechanism. It worked well for a couple of months and then it stopped working. We called the manufacturer as it was too late to return to Amazon. The manufacturer wont replace it and wants us to take it to one of their repair shops. Now I have to take one of my printers offline to get this thing fixed...which is a big deal for us. Very dissatisfied with this product!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Quiet machine. Dont use it for anything other than filling car/truck tires and with my Porter Cable finish nailer but it does the job well. Easier to empty than the pancake type.
