I ordered this to replace an older TCP compressor which still functioned fine after decades of use. Through my neglect, the tank had rusted through. The drain plug that I never opened until it was too late is there for a reason! This new compressor is quieter than the one it's replacing and just as well built. With proper maintenance, it should last even longer.

great quiet have not used it to paint yet, but can't wait.

I bought this compressor almost exactly 2 years ago from when I write this.

I use it mostly for painting plastic models, doing paint tests and some light art work. It has preformed flawlessly every time I use it. It is so quit that my wife can watch TV or listen to the radio only about 10 feet away in the next room with the doors open with out turning up, and can easily be talked over in a normal voice only 3 or 4 feet away. As I don't ask it to do more than what it was designed to do, it never gets hot, it is always cool enough that I can hold my hand on the motor or head comfortably, warm but never hot. I definitely do recommend it to anyone that does models , airbrushing craft projects or light art work. It probably would work fine for makeup, light body painting and occasionally spray tanning too.

Quiet, reasonably priced, compact, steady pressure compressor. Quality built, fast shipping and great packaging. It has my recommendation!

This is a great compressor. It far surpasses my expectations
