Review: Amazing compressor. - This is a great compressor for the price. I purchase it for my first airbrush and have not been disappointed. See the tank allows for you to have a mostly quiet paint session w out being bothered too much. Even tho the decibel level is advertised as being low I find it a tad too loud for my taste. That being said it is quiet enough for me to use in my paint room w the door open and not have it heard in the living room when my wife is watching tv. After you get in the groove you won’t even notice the noise and it’ll be part of the background. It passes the wife test and I haven’t woken her up once during my late night paint sessions. I did have to go buy a quick release adapter for the hose but that’s whatever. A truly great buy for my airbrush painting.
Review: What a HONEY!!! - 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How hot should the top compressor get while running**
A: Mine doesn't get hot I use it for airbrush and only run it about 12/15 lbs it cycles on and off. Stays cool to the touch and I've burned up a few over years. GREAT UNIT!

**Q: Would the standard hose work with a iwata eclipse hp-bs? or would I require an adapter?**
A: Yes, it can be used directly without adapter.
If you don’t have an airbrush hose, you can buy it

**Q: why doesn't my standard 1/8 hose fit this? it will start to thread, but stops as if it's the wrong size**
A: Dear David, our air compressor's air outlet size is G1/8 Male, so your air hose could fit into it if the size is Female G1/8. Sincerely-Edward on behalf of Airgoo

**Q: Will it work with a nail gun? A small one obviously … a 18 or 23 gauge gun**
A: Hi，
Sorry but this air compressor is only suitable for airbrush, not for nail gun or other air tools.
Best regards,
Jolina

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little compressor w/tank
*by K***A on July 14, 2025*

Update: This unit worked for half a day. Then the PSI would fluctuate dramatically, then just stopped holding any pressure. Requested a replacement, Amazon has received the package a week ago. All I can find is “well email you when replacement is shipped”. Well I can get a new one overnighted by Amazon, so why am I not getting my replacement ‘overnighted’?!? My original compressor finally took a dump. Thought it was the regulator, replaced it with a better one, still not holding pressure. So, I dropped the dime on this with overnight delivery. Installed the better regulator and 0-30psi gauge, plugged it in and works great. It’s very quiet, doesn’t cycle as much as ones without the tank. I’ve heard there’s only 2-3 Chinese mfg of these, so they’re pretty much the same in this price range.
