AW 1/3 HP Twin Cylinder Airbrush Compressor 3.5L Air Tank Pro 3-7 Bar for Hobby Tattoo Decorating Body Art

This compressor came in a reasonable amount of time and was packaged very well and therefore undamaged. I'm pleased with how it looks and runs. It looks pricier than it is and runs quietly. It has a pressure shutoff so when it reaches max pressure in the tank it shuts itself off. I had to buy a 1/8 to 1/4 adapter at Home Depot for three bucks but no problem there, just depends on the size of fitting on your air hose. I bought this for painting model cars and if it holds up and lasts for a decent amount of time I would consider it an outstanding buy. This is the most compressor (of this type) for the least amount of money that I found. If it lasts I'll be extremely happy.

I received this in fairly quick, and as for the compressor LOVE IT! I realized what I have been missing. It is fantastic pressure more than enough for what I purchased it for. It looks to be very well made and I love the automatic shut off feature now when ever I have to clean out brush I do not have to go through reaching a couple of inches to turn off the compressor I mean really the time it takes to reach over to turn on or turn off my old compressor OMG I could maybe have enough time to maybe blink or even scratch my backside. Really all kidding aside I really like this compressor and as of right now I would recommend to anyone who would need one or upgrade from and older compressor you should really take that time I was talking about earlier and look into getting one. Great machine (SO FAR) lol, if there turn out to be issues I will update my review.

So far so very, very good. I couldn't believe the price and thought it may not live up to the reviews. It did, and does, so far. This thing delivers up to 1.4 cfm @ 100psi max in "High pressure" mode and 43 - 58 psi in "Standard mode" which is selected via the power switch. I don't own an HVLP gun to test the cfm but doubt this would be the compressor to run such a device anyway. That being said, I do own a Paasche airbrush with a fan cap and it does work a whole heck of a lot better now that I can push a higher volume of air through it with 30 to 40 psi behind it. We'll see how this compressor stands the test of time, but, I am optimistic. It is not loud, nor is it quiet, it does vibrate a bit, but, because there's two pistons, it doesn't walk around at all. Also, the added weight of the tank helps that, and general stability. All my comparisons are based vs. a tankless single piston compressor, from which I'm upgrading.

The compressor was amazing at first, but developed a really slow leak about a month or 2 from when I bought it. Not a big deal because it was a REALLY slow leak, like after filling it took around 8 hours for the compressor to kick on again. Fast forward to today and it now leaks so bad the compressor has to kick on after about 10 minutes. I'm past any warrantee so will be looking elsewhere for another if I can get it sealed

I use this product for air brushing and only do that as a hobby. I am very happy with this product. From my research this looked like the best compressor for the price and so far I feel that is the case. Haven't had any issue with leaks or anything else. I have used compressors that are more quite and some that are louder and this one is on the quite side. If noise is a huge concern you can find some that are less noisy, but I use mine in an apartment and the spray booth fan is much louder than the compressor. I would buy this again for sure.

This is the first time I buy a compressor and I must say I’m happy with it, I used it quite a bit already for gumpla painting and it has worked perfectly, because it has a tank the pressure is consistent, it doesn’t say it in the instructions but if you lift the big red button you can adjust the air pressure that comes out. Not so noisy because it only turns from time to time to refill the pressure.

THERE WERE SHIPPING ISSUES AND ONCE I RECEIVED THE UNIT AND UNPACKED IT AND FOUND THAT THE PIPE THREADING CONNECTION WAS 1/8 OF AN INCH AND AW INT'L DID NOT SUPPLY AN NPT ADAPTER WHICH I HAD TO PURCHASE SEPARATELY, AND THEREFORE COULDN'T TEST UNIT UNTIL THE ADAPTER WAS BOUGHT. IF IT WASN'T FOR AMAZON THIS WOULD'VE BEEN A DISASTER. NOWHERE IN THE ITEM DESCRIPTION DOES IT MENTION THAT THE MALE CONNECTION WAS 1/8 OF AN INCH AND REQUIRED AN ADAPTER. THE UNIT FILLS THE TANK SLOWLY ON SETTING II ONCE AIR PRESSURE REACHES 80 PSI AS IT APPROACHES 100 PSI. UNIT IS QUITE NOISY AND IS NOT AS QUIET AS DESCRIBED. ON SETTING I TANK FILLS QUICKLY TO 60 PSI WITH NO DIFFICULTY. OVERALL THE UNIT PERFORMANCE IS FAIR TO OK. I'M NOT IMPRESSED. FOR 112 DOLLARS MORE THE PAASCHE PRO IS A BETTER BUY. THIS IS WHY I GAVE THIS UNIT A 3 STAR RATING.

I am a professional artist and have owned several airbrush compressors. This compressor is very quiet, produces a consistent air flow, and seems to be very well made.

[Edit: after posting a glowing review I decided to perform some maintenance. I have knocked two stars off due to what I found. If you buy this, expect a good product but the first thing you must do is disassemble the unit - strip it right down. This will do two things: firstly, it will let you get to know your compressor and how it works so you can look after it better; secondly, it will expose any manufacturing flaws such as the pinched cable in the attached picture. ...now back to my original review.]I bought my first airbrush last year and went cheap thinking it would be good enough to get me started. I suppose that was right, but I went for one of those all-in-one kits with the compressor that runs off a 12V DC supply. It worked but was terribly noisy and the spray was inconsistent. I could never work out why.Well, now this has arrived and the difference is astonishing! I can set the output pressure to a reasonable accuracy (it's a bit difficult to tell exactly and it's not exactly the same between uses - but it is close enough for me not to have to worry).I went for the dual piston so that the compressor could fill the tank faster (on the logic that two pistons are better than one). The tank fills fast.The compressor is quiet. It's not whisper quiet, but it's nowhere near as noisy as the 12V DC compressor. This is especially valuable to me in my condo as I don't want to be irritating to my neighbours (converted buildings don't have the best sound insulation).Anyway, if you are constrained by money, the absolute cheapest will get you going. If you can spend a bit more, a tankless compressor is great. If you can treat yourself, this is fantastic.

Very nice compressor. Resivoir and dual pumps makes for a constant, even and predictable airflow. Ive noticed a significant in the fine detail work my airbrush is putting out. Ive put about 20 hours on the compressor so far and it is living up to my hopes. It is a little noisier than my old single pump compressor, but you can still hold a conversation over the noise level.

Very quiet and yet provides lots of air. The storage tank with the regulator gives a very steady volume of air. When I am using a very small amount of air, the compressor only comes on when the tank pressure gets low, so the compressor doesn't need to be running to still provide air.

I love it. Lots of air for airbrushing. Quiet enough so I can paint when others have gone to bed. Hopefully it lasts for as long as my previous small inexpensive compressor (>10 yrs)

I like it.
