Your cart is empty.The EC28M Quiet Air Compressor is the first in a Low Noise Series from Metabo HPT that produces just 59dBs of sound so quiet that a normal conversation can be easily heard while the compressor is cycling nearby. It features an industrial oil-free pump for high durability with low maintenance, and a 2. 8 Amp direct drive induction motor for longer life. The motor is protected by an overload protection circuit that cuts off power in the case of an overload situation. Extremely compact and weighing just 25. 2 lbs, the EC28M has an ergonomically shaped rubber carrying handle to make it easier to transport around any jobsite. The steel roll cage design protects the factory installed universal quick coupler and steel encased industrial gauges. This quiet compressor has zero set up time, and is ready to go straight out of the box.

Super quiet perfect for nailing shoemolding which is what I use it for. Keeps up pretty good for its size. Weight is nothing

I use it in a small 10x20 insulated building where I store and work on my bicycles. It’s very quit and works well.

I'm a floor installer and got tired of lugging around my bigger, heavier and louder pancake compressor. About 120 decibels I believe. the metabo has a small tank but perfect for installing baseboards and trim and that's all I need it for. And I believe it's at 59 decibels. soooooo quiet at half the noise. love it

Looked like a good unit when it arrived: brand new, nice construction. Plugged it in and turned it on and it started up: runs real quiet and I'm initially very happy. It gets up to 125psi, and a valve starts venting; turns out there's a valve that opens when you turn the unit off such that the unit will bleed out when it's off and in storage. I guess that's good, but it's not supposed to vent when the unit is on.So I let the unit bleed out, then I turn it back on and it refuses to start. Now I see that the on-board circuit breaker has tripped. I reset it, it hums for a bit, then trips again. Reset it again, and this time it kicks on and stops at 125PSI; no venting this time. I bleed out some air to see when the unit will kick on again, and it doesn't kick on at all. Turns out the breaker has tripped again.OK, so there's issues, but theres this card in the box that says "STOP: DO NOT RETURN this compressor to the retail store. If you have technical issues or concerns, please call us at this number...."So I call. I get connected to some woman who is confused that I would be calling, as they only deal with big retailers. I try to get support by calling the number that Amazon tells me to call, and I get the same response. Like, What?This is such an epic fail on Metabo's part, it makes me wonder what else they screw up. If I could give less than 1 star, I would.

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.

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.

Me llegó rápido y de inmediato lo probé para inflar la membrana de mi hidroneumatico y fue simplemente bueno

I am a contractor and use it professionally to run roofing, sheathing and even framing nailers. It’s not meant for such heavy use and will probably not last long as it runs pretty much constantly, but at this price I’ll just buy another one. I am getting older and it’s not as easy to haul heavy things around anymore. The low weight is more important to me than longevity. It’s been a full season so far and it still tuns great. I’m very pleased with it.

Es perfecto para alimentar una herramientas neumática como pistolas o llaves de impacto, pero su bajo volumen de aire lo hace inútil para otras aplicaciones como pintura/lacado de carpinterÃa. Su volumen de 0.8 CFM a 90 PSI (1.3 CFM a 40 PSI) es apenas suficiente para un aerógrafo de miniaturas, para carpinterÃa/muebles se recomienda un compresor con tanque de al menos 3 galones.
