Quiet Compressor
Very quiet compressor, but desicant system releases air pressure when compressor turns off and the release of air is noisy.

Rolair VT20TB 2HP Quiet Wheeled Compressor
This is the first ROLAIR model to combine a low-noise and low-speed pump with a higher CFM output. This 4.2 CFM compressor delivers as much air as most high-speed pumps, while running at only 1700 RPM it drastically reduces the noise commonly associated with jobsite air compressors. For added benefit, it comes with a built-in tool box for convenient on the job storage.

Good compressor, but keeps arriving damaged. Don't buy yet.
OK, so this seems to be an outstanding compressor, with one major, major flaw: the packaging is amazingly inadequate, and it has arrived --twice now!--damaged. Do not buy this compressor unless you want to send it back, until they redesign the package. The problem is that there is virtually no padding of any kind in the heavy box it ships in! It is free to bang around during transit, and when it is dropped (even a short distance, I imagine) things break.

The first one arrived on time, but there were several holes in the box where a part had worn through, or punched through when banged around. I mean completely through, and this is heavy cardboard 2 layers thick! So the air filter was broken, one of the cooling fins on the compressor was broken off, the latch on the tool box busted, and paint scraped off in several places. I fired it up anyway to see how quiet it really would be, as I was seriously thinking of just getting a refund. It really is quiet, and seems to be...

Different, better. Here's why.
After researching, reading reviews, & talking with professionals for way too long I bought this Rolair model (they ONLY make compressors). It's different, better. Notice how the critical reed valve is Stainless steel. Realize that when you compress air, water condenses & falls out. Rolair engineered their critical reed valve to withstand moisture better than any other product on the market. 2 HP low draw (12.3 amp) Motor rated for 100% continuous duty means you can use this unit non-stop all day and it won't void the warranty because the motor is designed to withstand continuous use. Durable Cast iron cylinder, of course. Tired of throwing away poorly built products & wasting money? Their products have not been cheapened to hit a price point at the expense of longevity/reliability. Examine, question, think, turn off the tv. Get informed. What do I need this to do? How many CFM do I need? How is this different? If I take care of it & follow service intervals, how long will...
Best compressor on market for size!!!!!
If this compressor meets your requirements of 4.3 scfm it is the one to buy. I researched compressor's for quite some time becuase I have never got more than a year or 2 out of one. Tired of buying junk! This compressor is I feel the best on the market for the size. Super Quiet!! I can run in my customers house without a problem.

I have bought over 10-15 compressor big and small in the last 10 years. This is the best one i feel for small jobs like trim, framing, etc....

A great review by a great reviewer
I wanted to write this review especially because of the lack of reviews. I have been using this compressor for air assist on a Laser Engraver. This compressor holds 50psi on a short(5') run of 1/4" line. This compressor is indeed quiet, having a low sort of sound that is far more appealing than a metal on metal clickety clack sort of sound. I have it sitting on a folded towel to further reduce vibration. It comes shipped without a plug end(user supplied) and without the capacitor wired or mounted. I built a capacitor mount for mine, but it is a bit annoying to have it flopping around next to the compressor. In an effort to extort more life out of compressor, I have a fan positioned towards the compressor if it has to run for an extended period of time. Overall good build, if it does reach the claimed 3000 hours I would consider it a great value.

Quite and powerful
This compressor lives up to the hype. It is very quite, I can carry on a conversation when it is running. It is much quieter than our hoover vacuum. I chose the 1 HP over the 3/4 and 1/2 because I wanted a shorter run time to fill the tank. The compressor can keep up with constant nailing with a brad nailer. The smallish tank does not hold enough air for steady use of a blowgun but the 1hp motor builds pressure fast and allows for short use.

Quiet; light weight; good for small jobs.
I have a larger oil-filled compressor for my shop but needed a replacement for a Senco 1/2HP, 1-gal compressor which gave great service for many years. While looking for a replacement, the reviews and videos indicated this to be very quiet, and light enough to easily carry around for small projects - very true. The larger capacity made for longer intervals between run-times, and the 1HP motor shortened the run times. While not major differences, they were enough to make a change when the greatly increased CFM was figured into the equation - no more waiting for the tank to re-fill. I use this for small jobs with 18-gauge brads and 23-gauge pin nails, and it also works well for cleaning refrigerator coils!. It has been a very satisfactory replacement/addition. It obviously doesn't have the capacity for major production usage; but works great if used within the design parameters.

Quiet, works great, a couple of small problems
Let's start with the bad:
a) I was disappointed that a GMC machine would have alternate language translated into English labels. This to me means it was designed and manufactured NOT in the U.S.A. which is what I would expect from a company the US government just bailed out of bankruptcy.

Things like "Being sure allowance for opening of nothing water rusting evenly" gibberish. Ripped those off - buu bye.

b) One of the legs had suffered an extreme impact. I had to use a large piece of steel and heavy hammer to bend the pipe back into round so I could put the rubber foot on. Better packaging with emphasis of protecting the bottom of the unit would have prevented this shipping damage.

c) The quick connect was the biggest piece of junk ever. Getting it to release is difficult. Getting it to hold the hose connector, difficult. Leaked A LOT unless the hose was perfectly aligned which isn't always easy with a hose filled with 90 lbs of pressure...

Great compressor for the home shop - real quiet too
I love this compressor. Quiet is the first thing you will notice - or at least not notice. It's the lack of pounding sound that you will notice right away. You'll stand there for a second and wonder why you hadn't heard about this unit before? Then you'll try and remember what that old compressor sounded like banging in your ear. Shake yourself out of it and realize life is good now, you made a good choice.

I make a living as an artist, mostly an airbrush artist so I know about quiet compressors. This is not as quiet as my $800 AirForce unit but I would use this in my studio no problem. Instead I use in for all the utility work needed around the studio; nail guns, spray guns, impact wrenches, flat tires and any other item you can hook up and work with air in a shop. I don't know from experience if you could hook up a number of nail guns to this unit at once but I used it to run every air tool to build my studio addition including the Bosch framing nailer. Worked like a...
Quietest compressor ever owned. High CFM. No problems.
I did not encounter any of the small problems that Unit 1 had. I use this to blow out my underground sprinkler system. This is the third compressor I have owned for this purpose.

Advantages: small, portable, relatively high air volume output for its size, amazingly quiet.
Disadvantages: none.

Would buy again. Will update this site if/when it ever disappoints me.

At a Glance
Porter-Cable C1010
Porter-Cable's C1010 compressor is heavy duty but lightweight enough to carry easily on the job site (view larger).
Peak Performance
The C1010 yields air at 3/4 standard feet per cubic minute (SCFM) at 90 PSI with a max PSI of 135, thus providing high-surge performance with a speedy 20-second recovery. Its 2.6-amp motor powers an easy start-up even in frigid temperatures or with use via an extension cord. The high-flow regulator delivers maximum air pressure, improving job-site performance. The C1010 is also furnished with an oil-free long-life pump that rids the need to check or refill the pump—plus, it keeps the work site clean by eliminating oil spills and leaks. It’s also ideal for use in any internal environment because of its quieter operation (at 71 decibels) that allows users to hold conversations even while the unit is in use.

Easy Portability
The C1010’s compact design lends itself to convenient portability from job site to job site. Weighing only 23 pounds and measuring nine inches wide, its slender suitcase-style design allows it to be easily stored and transported in the backseat of work vans and trucks. Operation is easy thanks to a one-hand universal quick connect feature for efficiency. Its ball drain valve makes for swift and comprehensive tank draining. Storage is made simple thanks to a convenient cord wrap feature built into the compressor.

Durable Construction
Porter-Cable’s pioneering roll cage and full-protection frame design safeguards the C1010 from typical wear and tear as well as any unintentional damage on the job site. The metal control panel covers the air manifold to further shield the compressor’s key mechanisms.

What's in the Box

Great for home use
I bought one of these to replace a Campbell-Hausfield compressor I've used for home projects over the past 20 years. My C-H was still viable, barely, but lacked some pretty basic elements that have made using it increasingly questionable (no pressure gauge, a crude output pressure regular which doubles as the tank drain, no automatic cut in/cut out). With another project coming up, I decided it was probably past time for a change and so began looking. I was very tempted by the very favorable reviews for the big brother of this one, the Porter-Cable C2002-WK, a pancake compressor that was just a bit too big for my needs, not to mention 10 pounds heavier and $60 more. The fact that Amazon had this one priced for $80 on Cyber Monday sealed the deal. It is very easy to use, although as many have noted, make sure you perform the 15 minute break-in by running it with the tank drain open before you pressure it up for the first time. The drain is a levered ball valve on the underside of...

Porter Cable 1 Gal. Trim Compressor
I just bought this compressor and sold my 6 gallon compressor. This unit is fairly quiet (acceptable), I have owned small compressors for 3 years now and mainly do trim work, and drywall texturing with these units. I bought this unit for installing a hard wood floor using a Bostitch pnuematic floor stapler and corner round around base. This worked great, it recharged up fairly quick and feels like it is built to last. I know how well Porter Cable tools and compressors hold up and think this is going to be a keeper. Smaller compressors do work a little harder because of the size of the tank, but they haven't let me down yet and I am impressed by how much better they get each year.
Who Actually Makes This?
I ordered one because I am tired of lugging my twin tank Porter Cable around when I want to do small jobs around the house. My twin tank weighs at least 60-70 pounds so it stays in the garage most of the time and I loathe moving it around. I'll normally roll a hose through the house to the job which is a big pain. Great compressor that I have owned for almost 10 years but it is just too big to move around and setup. Also too noisy for indoor use. Also cannot use any old extension cord with it which limits its flexibility.

So, hopefully this one will work for those small jobs. I considered those CO2 tanks with the regulator but that seemed a pain with the bottles and the cost was about the same as this little compressor.

Only question I have is who makes the darn thing? DeWalt's version looks identical but painted yellow. Same or similar specs. DeWalt's has EMGLO printed boldly on the front. Emglo is owned by Stanley Black & Decker.

Rolair JC10 Super Quiet 1HP Oil Less 2.5 Gallon Air Compressor
Portable oil-less air compressors are great for powering pneumatic air tools around the job site and indoors. But they have a reputation for being excessively noisy and tough to tolerate; especially when using them indoors and for long periods of time. The noise makes it hard to talk or even listen to music without powering down the compressor. With the JC10 Single Stage Air Compressor, Rolair offers all the power and portability of traditional oil-less compressors in a product that's no louder than a normal speaking voice. At only 60 dB, the JC10 is one of quietest compressors on the market and can be used indoors all day long without the overpowering noise levels usually associated with oil-less compressors, and with 2.35cfm @ 90psi, it's perfect for all types of trim and finish work. It's lightweight and compact enough to carry to and around the job site easily, and the integrated roll cage helps protect vital components from damage. If you've ever been overpowered by the noise of your portable compressor, give a listen to the Rolair JC10 Single Stage Air Compressor and we're sure it will be music to your ears.

Great small air compressor
This is a great small compressor for interior trim work. Exceptionally quiet. So quiet if you are working in a house with a radio on and the compressor is in a different room you won't hear it. This compressor is slightly different than other small compressor I have used. It has a 1Hp motor and plenty of power. It has a high volume direct drive pump,producing about 2CFM @ 90psi ( sorry I do not have the exact specs). One motor and 2 compressor heads. It weighs about 38 pounds, light enough to carry easily, but slightly heaver than some of the other small airless compressors on the market. Rolair compressors have always been a top of the line unit, you can see they used top quality components, but you can see the bare bones approach to the design to keep the cost down. So many of the other compressors on the market use inferior components to keep the cost down, and it shows in the operation.

It has a typical cartridge air filter, very good quality gage's that really work, A...

Rolair JC10 Air Compressor
Excellent small compressor. More quiet than any other I have seen; usable in an occupied room with few complaints. Very rapid recovery rate, and very little vibration.
Very quiet!!!!
This compressor ROCKS!!! It's not made to run all day or run a lot of guns. But if you do trim or cabinets, this is perfect. It has enough power to run a 18ga and 15ga nailer and drive it into 2 inch thick oak. It will not disturb others in the work environment. I used it to install cabinets in a open office environment and no complaints of too much noise or oil leaking on the carpet. It really dose what it was intended for. I rate 5 stars!! Rolair knocked it out of the park on this one!! If you want a light weight and really quite compressor.this is the one!! Made in the USA!!

Puff Puff, Wiz Wiz
It's a little guy and you would expect it to be pretty much powerless. Not so says I. It is a god awful silver color and does actually say GMC on it. Putting the UGH in ugly aside for the moment, this thing does exactly what it says it can and does it without waking the neighbors after a midnight paint frenzy. Nah you can't use it to paint a car in an hour but who cares. If you buy this your running small paint jobs, nail guns, brad guns, small to medium air tools along with tire chucks and blowing crap out of a corner that the broom and vac wont reach. It is quiet and goes all day if you need it to. It is medium-small so you can take it with you without to much trouble.
Eat your heart out Briggs. Now if they would paint the ugly duckling black and yellow or blue or, well anything other than stark-blinding silver. Oh I think I should mention to all of you perfectionists out there that the welding points where they attached things to the tank are rough. They didn't grind 'em down...

One Quiet Compressor
I selected this using because I was looking for something as quiet as possible with decent airflow. I am into racing offroad RC cars and mainly use it for cleaning them in the garage.

Pros:
This unit is so quiet it is really amazing. It used to be that as soon as I turned on power to my old unit my wife would yell at me to turn it off if she was home. The first time I used this one she only came to see what the noise was once I started blowing air. The air makes more noise than the compressor.
If you are looking for an air compressor for light household duty and quiet is important then this is well worth the extra over a unit from the local hardware store.

Cons:
Mounting of wheels not well thought out. They rubbed on the side of the tank and the mounting bracket is not perpindicular to the bolt where the nut sits. A quick trip to OSH for some nylon washers and nyloc nuts and all was OK.

I have used it a number of times now and I am...
Wonderful Bargain
This is a terrific value for the money. For one thing, it's a twin-cylinder compressor so it fills up its air tank pretty quickly. And boy is it quiet! I live in an apartment building but I have no hesitation at all in using this compressor at all hours, it's so quiet. On the other hand, it does transmit a good bit of vibration to the floor, so if someone lives below you I would recommend setting it on a couple of solid cement blocks as I have done; this dampens the vibration very nicely.

Now it's true (as other reviewers have pointed out) that the construction is somewhat rough-and-ready (big ugly welds) but that does NOT detract from the overall quality, it just means it's not as pretty as it could be. Also, the wheels are not the very best design for mobility, but hey, considering the incredible bang-for-the-buck you're getting, why complain? Besides, just how much are you going to be moving it around anyway?

In addition to its other merits, this little...
