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

This compressor worked well for 14 months. It was quiet and reliable, then it died. It was not overused--at most we used it 6 hours per week. Very disappointing.

If youre like me (have a baby in the house and a small shop in the garage or basement), then you know that noise is a BIG thing. Luckily, this makes almost no noticeable noise. I really only use this for brad nailing and it works perfect at that task - dont think you can run any air-heavy tools with this. Get a quality hose and fittings, though - if theres even a tiny leak, this little guy will keep popping on to refill the tank. It puts in some work almost everyday and I havent had any issues.

After couple months of use. The compressor is no longer quite and it’s loud. Try to call the metabo for the service. No one answer the phone.

Note its 1 gallon, and at 100 PSI, this thing is empty in literally like 1-2 seconds. But, more importantly, my unit failed immediately, with a leak at the regulator valve, which slowly dissipated air pressure through that valve, no matter how tight or loose I had it, all the way out or in. So I see this piece of included paper: STOP. DO NOT RETURN to THE STORE. CALL US UP FOR TECH SUPPORT! So I call them up. They say, uh, just return it. LOL. What clowns. That being said, I am getting another one, because its so damn easy to return stuff with Amazon, and this unit is SO SO QUIET that you wont believe its working, so Ill take another chance. I am not pumping up truck tires, I am only using it for shop air to blow out dirt and other issues from crevices, and this will work fine for that. Especially in my small shop, this unit being so quiet is a godsend compared to my older Craftsman 5 Gal compressor which required me to put on hearing protection. Update: new unit performs as expected. I think the problem with the original is that there was some foreign material inside the unit, which I could see was coming out of the water drain valve and pressure release valve. Maybe some metal grit from the machining process, and it probably also got into the pressure relief valve and caused the seals to be ruined. Though, still, the one gallon capacity is like NOTHING.... that motor will need to constantly be on if you are using a steady stream of air at any pressure.

This compressor makes your life so much easier for you without having to deal with the earth shattering rumble of a normal pancake compressor when you’re trimming out inside of an occupied house for a multiunit building. Only had a short time so cannot speak for durability, but seems far better built than any junk he will buy them from Harbor freight, etc. Worth every cent.

met all my expectations and criteria. quiet. efficient. quick to refill maximum pressure. in our locality though, where summer temperatures can reach 35 degrees Celsius, one may need to place a fan towards the motor while operating. highly recommended.

good

Great for reloading bench.

Thing starts and runs fine but never shuts off. I seen very mixed reviews on this product but was better than most. Well I got one of the PIS units and to make it worse it comes with a sheet from manufacturer that if you have any issues call. That would be much more helpful if they would call you back and try and help, very frustrated and dissatisfied!!!!

If you want quiet this is it, Im going to get a second one, I think you can make a quieter setup for at home with 2 of these little guys than one bigger one
