WOOD magazine review

A good workshop compressor

Reviewed by: WOOD Magazine

Review Summary

This compressor is not really built to stand up to job-site use, but it makes a great compressor for a small shop. Its 10-gallon tank size stores plenty of air to keep up with most tools that a home woodworker will use (except pro-type tools such as sanders and impacts) and blow dust for long periods of time without recycling. And even when the pump kicks on, it's not so loud as to be disturbing. That's nice. It has about an 18" square footprint, so it takes up little space.

…

The controls are easy to read and distinguish from each other, but they're a little more exposed than we care for (and would likely not survive a job-site). This unit rolls around nicely on its two large wheels, but if you're taller than about 5'10", you'll have to stoop to reach the short handle.
