I had been using a 3-gallon pancake compressor from Harbor Freight and, while it got the job done for my airbrushing uses, it was incredibly loud. No way to use it without everyone in the house hearing it. And it rattled my nerves every time it cycled on, causing me to screw up at least a couple of paint jobs unnecessarily. Then I saw a product review online of this Timbertech unit by one of my favorite YouTube modeling pros and figured the time was right to jump on a new compressor. Man, am I glad I did! This unit is WHISPER QUIET! It takes up less room than my old compressor and, with the reserve tank, it doesn’t cycle on very frequently, so I can airbrush for several minutes without hearing ANY noise from it at all! When it does cycle on it makes about as much noise as an average aquarium air pump, if not less. Very consistent airflow at every setting, with no significant reduction in pressure while spraying. The pressure regulator works very smoothly and I can adjust pressure settings and lock the regulator easily with one hand. And that’s important when you’re balancing parts and an airbrush. Now for the negative…. I had quite a time trying to locate the proper couplers so that I could use my favorite airbrush, a Paasche Talon ( that has a proprietary thread design) AND my other airbrushes, which use standard fittings. For the record, the fitting on the Timbertech pressure regulator ( where you screw on your air hose) is 1/8 NPTB male, and should work fine with standard air hoses. If you use the majority of airbrushes available you probably won’t need any special adaptors or couplers to use them. I firmly believe that, for the price of this unit, considering as it includes a cool-down fan and a pressure regulator, not to mention a very low decibel rating, this is a HONEY of a deal!

I purchased this for airbrush in my scale models. this compressor is small, very quiet. It works absolutely fantastic. It comes with a pressure regulator to set your pressure, water, separator to keep your air dry and the pressure gauge to know your settings. It fills up the reservoir tank and shuts off, always on demand but yet you don’t have to listen to it constantly run.

Had a couple others I was NOT impressed with. The noname blue box I had was listed as the same db. It was loud and didn’t cycle right. I got this to replace it and when I turned it on I had to take a double take to see if it was actually operating correctly. It was so quiet I thought it was defective. No it’s just that quiet. It sits at my feet and I am very pleased with the quietness of it.Worth every dollar.

Overall gets the job done, built good.Using it for miniatures paintingOnly downside that it feels to me like the pressure knob doesn't really make a difference with the actual pressure, but I might be wrong

Good fit and finish, steady air pressure, adequate size tank matched well to adequate compressor capacity, relatively quiet ( 54 db at 3 ft on uncalibrated iphone reading using CDC app)NOTE: 1/8 BSP (British Standard Pipe) Male output. If you don't have a 1/8 BSP air hose then your airbrush requires a 1/8 BSP female x "Your Air Hose Fitting" adapter. 1/8 BSP does NOT fit Iron Pipe Size (IPS) , nor National Pipe Taper (NPT) nor National Standard Pipe (NPS). IPS, NPS, NPT is all you will find in US hardware and US big box stores. Airbrush supply, hobby shops and art supply may carry the BPS x BPS adapters. Save time and purchase the 1/8 BSP x "Your Airhose Fitting" when buying this compressor if your air hose isn't the 1/8 BSP provided. For example "Master Airbrush 1/8" BSP Male to 1/4" BSP Male Fitting Conversion Adapter Nipple, Connector for Airbrush Hoses and Compressors" works for my Iwata air hose.

The next day I received that compressor it developed a leak right around the water trap transparent bulb. I emailed the seller Airgoo. They apologized but couldn’t replace the unit because they run out of stack. But they offered $20 for the air regulator replacement. It’s better than nothing. I tried to fix with epoxy, but this didn’t work at all and I ordered a replacement air regulator from the Amazon, and the tread sealer, of course all together cost me more than the $20. And I was not so happy about that. Then 2 weeks later I’ve got another email from the customer service of the Airgoo asking me if the compressor is working. I replied that it’s working, but I spent more than $20 on replacement parts. For my big and pleasant surprise they apologized and offered me a compressor with airbrush set without sending back my unit. Of course, I accepted such grateful offer. Who wouldn’t?Now back to the compressor. It’s very good. Since the replacement of the faulty air regulator/water trap it’s working well, holds the pressure, not getting hot, temperature of the motor and the compressor head got at about 40 C or 104 F after 30-40 on and off cycling. Noise level is relatively low. I measured the sound level with an app on my phone from the distance of about 40 cm/ 16 inches. The noise level went from ambient level of 38-40dB when compressor is off to 60-65db when it’s on. Not so loud.One more thing. No airbrush holder. I had to buy one. Easy to install, unscrew the big red nut, put the holder on, screw the red nut back.Update 07/21/2020.I received the promised set of compressor and airbrush. It was a dirty used airbrush. The compressor also seems to be used one. The handle is covered with some white substances like a dry paint, on the body of the compressor there are paint splashes. This is not the way you take care of your customer Airgoo Timbertech. Very disappointed. I was to generous given 5 stars at first. Sorry, but this is one star guys.

Me encanta. Funciona muy bien y realmente arroja el aire de forma precisa, limpia y constante, incluso con baja PSI lo cual lo hace perfecto para poder pintar detalles muy finos haciendo que cualquier aerografo, incluso los genéricos chinos, atomicen la pintura de forma impecable. El tanque es pequeño pero es más que suficiente para poder pintar por unos minutos sin el ruido del compresor. En cuestión de ruido es genial ya que no es molesto para nada haciéndolo útil para usarlo incluso de noche. El único detalle es que tiende a calentarse mucho por lo tanto me encuentro apagandolo constantemente para que pueda enfriarse, sin embargo, esto es normal en todos los compresores compactos como este. Asà que si lo que buscas es un compresor de calidad, compacto y a buen precio, esta será tu mejor opción. ¡Lo recomiendo totalmente!

Well worth the price, 1/3 as loud as my old compressor. Quality build.

Es un buen producto, equilibrio perfecto calidad-precio. Lo utilizo para pintar modelos a escala y maquetas, me funciona perfecto con el aerógrafo, tiene buena presión a la salida y es regulable. En mi caso el tanque de 3 lt esta bien, para trabajos grandes puede que sea poco, ya que el compresor arrancara muy seguido, el nivel de ruido es bastante tolerable.

I have been using this Timbertech professional upgraded piston airbrush compressor for a few years now have had no problems with it. Nice and quit. Works well with all my air brushes. Price was very good from seller. You need a good compressor for air brushing. This is the one : )
