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

It was a little too small for my application. I think most people would do better looking for a bigger tank. The system is extremely quiet. So quiet that I would have been fine with a little louder trade off for bigger tank or faster filling.

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.

Quite, lightweight and perfect for my needs.

Quiet, lightweight. Plenty of power for finish work

I live in a apt But I think I’m going to mount it on a bigger tank other than that great item no problems regulates well. Perfect for what I want it to do.

Great little compressor! It’s amazingly quiet. Doesn’t have much air capacity, but I can fill my garden cart tires easily (car tires take a little patience), and running a 18 ga Brad nailer is no problem (though makes the quiet a bit superfluous). This thing is so quiet I can stand next to it while running and have a conversation in normal tones/volume. It’s about as loud as a louder fridge. Doesn’t put out enough air to run most tools like air ratchets or impact wrenches, or a sander, but I love it for the brad nailer. Should be just enough to run a small airbrush as well.

We needed an air compressor to clean and pre-process our laser printed material for our in-office mail inserting equipment. Quiet operation was the one of the most important criteria and this compressor is perfect for that. We found that when shuffling laser printer output, adding the step of blowing air over the printer output reduces the sheets electrostatically sticking together and greatly reduces jams and mis-inserts in our Neopost mail inserter. This was suggested by one of our techs and was an outstanding recommendations.

Great for hobbies can be used with the work space, never would have believed a compressor could be so quiet

Very happy that my workspace will be getting quieter now and I wont be jumping out of my skin when the compressor turns on. Very well made and light weight.

Love my air compressor! It holds pressure really well and is so quiet!
