It delivers 4 cubic feet per minute of free air at 90 psi.2 cubic feet per minute of free air Specifications Horsepower: 2 Amps: 15 Speed: 3,450 rpm Air displacement: 8. found in EC12's reviews: A DECENT LIGHT DUTY UNIT - I've a professional woodworker for 20+ years and have owned several small compressors. The list price of $600+ is a joke but wouldn't be all that far out of line if it didn't come with the flaws in the controls that turn up eventually in all light duty compressors in the $200-$300 price range. Using a light duty unit like this to feed tools like air sanders or paint guns would fry even larger, inexpensive, medium duty compressors after a realtively short time. Happy, but could be happier - The compressor is still fairly new and seems to provide excellent power for framing guns, finishing nailers, and hoppers. However, I am not incredibly impressed with this compressors ability to start. I realize during the cold winter mornings (not too cold in the San Francisco bay area), that some compressors require an empty tank to kick over, but this is getting a little ridiculous. Good to go - It delivers plenty of air* for nailers air wrenchs and filling tires. I wouldn't use it for painting but it was about the same price as the Coleman compressors.* Good price and quality! - I did alot of checking on compressors* and everyone really liked the hitachi.* Excellent Value - Compact & NOT too noisy! - I initially bought one of those oil-less 'Pancake' type compressors. Hitachi's Dependable Compressor - The Hitachi is not only reliable, but, unlike many compressors, it truly works on 15 amps. Compressor great, regulator bad - It has a quality oil lubricated motor and is competitively priced with "oil-less" compressors of similar size and capacity. It works great with my various small air tools (palm nailer, impact wrench, etc). Excellent Compressor - I have looked at quite a few compressors and 95% of them have something hanging out waiting to be sheared off if impacted. I think it would be fairly simple for them to tuck the regulator assembly between the tank and pump to avoid possible damage but few manufacturers do so I didn't take any stars away for that.

We came to like the low weight (lighter than any of our single cylinder compressors) and the fact that it is quieter than out pancake compressors. The Cadillac of portable air compressors - extension cords can be used); this is the Cadillac of portable compressors. The paint job on the tanks could be better and air* fittings could be included, but those are minor issues.* This is a keeper! - I've used it for air guns, various types of light and heavy duty nail guns, and shop tools. Very quiet compared to other compressors of the same size, but compressors will never be mistaken for a 'silent' partner.

*4 Amp 1/2 Horsepower 2 Gallon Oil-Free Hot Dog Compressor \| Thomas Compressors* T-617HDN**
	$349.00 >> $279.68 by Thomas Compressors Contractor quality machine - rated for continuous use. Lightweight and portable - only 26 lbs. Low 4 amp draw - will operate anywhere Will operate any (1) finish gun or brad nailer The quietest finish/trim compressor on the market found in T-617HDN's description: Additional uses include, airbrushing, inflating tires, air mattresses, sports equipment, and winterizing RV's and motor homes. found in T-617HDN's reviews: When Quality & Quiet Matter More Than Price & Power - I researched compressors carefully around town and on the Web. Compressors available at the Borg and various local tool shops are gawdawful loud, heavy, and look to be made of cheap plastic and pot metal. The unit is light enough to carry around easily, and its shape rides comfortably beside your walking legs (unlike pancake compressors). It really doesn't put out or hold much air. Great little compressor! - I have several compressors - from a commercial "giant" model - down to this newest addition. I only needed this to air up the tires (75 psi on the trailer and 85 psi on the fronts of the truck) and the occasional "blow gun" for clean up.
*6 Amp 3/4 Horsepower 2 Gallon Oil-Free Hot Dog Compressor \| Thomas Compressors* T-635HD**

Lightweight and portable, only 26 pounds found in T-635HD's description: Other uses include, tire inflating, painting, airbrushing, small air tools, and winterizing water lines and RV's. found in T-635HD's reviews: Compressors/Thomas T-635HD - and this is why I specifically went looking for Thomas Compressors.Since then I have been waiting for my Emglo to get retired so I too can be a proud owner of a Thomas T-635HD One thing that I did not like when my Thomas T-635HD arrived was a real lack of directions to assemble the few parts that did need to be put on before operation, but anyone with common knowlege of compressors will figure it out. Your search has ended here ! Don't get fooled by tool packs that come with nail gun, air-hose and compressor in one deal you will be looking for a new compressor soon. Its a blessing - Spare your back one less heavy thing to pick up all the time and get one of these wonderfully engineered compressors. Light weight professional grade compressor for small jobs - I was looking for a portable and not overly loud air compressor, for my low air-volume tools. Although it hardly qualifies as "quiet", it isn't nearly as noisy as other compressors I've heard. I installed a 16" stainless steel braided faucet plumbing hose on the compressor's air-outlet port; routed the hose out the back under the motor support, and screwed on a quick disconnect coupling. Because the tank is only 2 gallons (to keep weight/bulk down), the pump comes on more often than on larger units, but when it does, it's only on for about 12 seconds (if you're not using air). Some compressors have only a 50% duty cycle, which means you shouldn't run it more than 30 minutes for every hour used, as that could cause excessive wear on the pump and/or motor. You'd want a bigger unit if you had two roofing or stud-nailers going, but for low-air-volume requirements such as trim work, this little Thomas unit is just about perfect. September 2006 update: While working on a home renovation project, the compressor's low air pressure switch clicked, but the motor didn't start.
