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

Love this compressor! I use it in my Physics class and it’s very quiet

So I used to run the Tools Department at a big box home improvement store. Hitachi/Metabo stuff never came back, contractors loved the quality. I needed a quiet air compressor. This is easily the quietest air compressor I have ever seen. Here's my new air compressor filling the tank for the first time on my desk. That's at 11:23PM in a small wood-framed apartment building. This thing is not silent, but it is very very quiet for an air compressor. I can actually run this thing in the middle of the night without disturbing anyone. My bathroom fan is louder. So this little compressor is quite incredible. It is impressively small, lightweight (weighs less than 24 cans of beer!) and well-balanced on the handle. It is perfectly suited to operating small nailers and filling tires and doing stuff like that. The tank recovery time was impressive, but I have yet to slam it with running my can can crusher. But so far, I am completely impressed. The manual has an exploded diagram of the parts (so you can order replacement parts!!), and it appears to be a two-cylinder oil-free compressor with a short stoke. The motor is in the center and the compressor heads appear to be on opposite sides of the motor, so I would call this a two cylinder compressor. I have seen larger capacity variants of this basic design with three separate motors and six compressor heads. I know it produces the pressure to run my can crusher effectively, but I do not yet know how many cans I will be able to crush per minute. And that is fine with me if I have to go a little slower to accommodate an awesome if maybe a little small compressor for my needs - I live in a small place and I am willing to trade capacity for portability and quietness. The build quality looks and feels great, the packaging was not stupid and respected that this is already a durable jobsite tool which will get scratched up on its first day. It was in a good cardboard box with a plastic bag wrapped around it. That was it. And that was all it needed to be. I love it. If you're into tools, you know when a tool feels good in your hands. This tool feels good in my hands.

Bueno y muy compacto. Tal vez 3.7 litros (1 gal) es muy poco para ciertas aplicaciones.

Very low noise, obvious quality in its build, performs very well, very portable. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Extremely nice compressor, but simply does not supply enough air for almost any application. Maybe for a nail gun or some kind of stapler but it has about one second reserve for an air tool or blow gun. Super quiet and well made though.
