I had a Campbell Hausfeld 1 gal pancake compressor for a few years and really liked it - except for the racket it made. I even ran a framing nailer with it a few times and it kept up - as long as I didn't go nuts with the gun.

Last year, I got the Senco 1 gal and love it. Very quiet, and supports all of my nailing needs.

 

60 dbs? That's about as loud as my PorterCable is while it's unplugged.

 

Wow, that is easy on the ears, I have an oil comp now after I could not live with the oil less that would wake up the folks in the next county. Will check it out.

 

Thanks for the review. I generally avoid using my bostich compressor because of the noise.

 

It is great that a manufacturer is stepping up and offering a quiet oil less compressor.
Looks like the pump is similar to my Thomas T-2820ST. How long does it take to refill from the bottom of it's cycle?

 

When the tank is completely empty, it takes 40-45 seconds to fill the tank.

 

I've had a RolAir that is about 22 years old that I have used and abused beyond belief. Have only had to put a $17 head gasket in it and it's still going strong. Their a little more money and usually have to be ordered but are well worth the extra $$.

 

Nice to know there is a quiet oil less with a quick recovery, with Thomas AirPac in limbo, I'll have to give Rolair a serious consideration when my Thomas wears out . I always like to have an oil less set up for trim and finish work, and I really can't stand the racket of those little pancakes. The Rolair wheelbarrow compressors are pretty popular in these parts.

I think this unit sells (without guns) for around $225… I was looking at it for myself…
Thanks for posting.

 

I purchased it from Acme Tools for $199 plus tax.
Yes, I saw the video. It helped me decide on purchasing this compressor.

 

Wow. That seems too good to be true.

Is it wrong to hope my compressor fails soon?

 

Cool video. Eric what is the max pressure of the unit? The Porter-Cable says 150. I own an All-Power 4.6 gal. twin tank that is super quiet. To tell you the truth, the motor looks and sounds the same as mine. The only complaint I have with mine is the max 110 psi. Sometimes I do not believe I am getting that much. 18 gauge gun runs fine. 16 gauge you have to watch and make sure they being sunk. You feel like you'd like to turn her up a little more but she's maxed out, ( that's what she said) lol. Thanks for the review. Looks like a nice machine.

 

I have the Rolair JC10 and it truly is quiet. The unit sits on a low shelf in the garage, so I've added a 45-degree 1/8" brass fitting to make the output pressure gauge tilt upward for easier reading. The next step is to add a quarter turn brass tank drain valve and that will be the last modification. It is a very pleasant compressor to live with.
