Timbertech Professional Upgraded Piston Airbrush Compressor with Motor Cool Down Fan ABPST08, Mix 57PSI, Quiet Airbrush Compressor with Tank for Airbrush Paint, Nails, Tattoo, Makeup, Cake Painting

This compressor is super quiet. It holds pressure well. The fittings and finish is high quality. We like the moisture trap. Unfortunately our compressor arrived today and it had a bent air pressure gauge. We emailed the company and they replied within minutes. She was able to effectively resolve our issue within 10 minutes. Every reply was prompt. While I have not yet had the opportunity to use the very well reviewed compressor, with customer service like this they have earned my continued business.

Me encanta. Funciona muy bien y realmente arroja el aire de forma precisa, limpia y constante, incluso con baja PSI lo cual lo hace perfecto para poder pintar detalles muy finos haciendo que cualquier aerografo, incluso los genéricos chinos, atomicen la pintura de forma impecable. El tanque es pequeño pero es más que suficiente para poder pintar por unos minutos sin el ruido del compresor. En cuestión de ruido es genial ya que no es molesto para nada haciéndolo útil para usarlo incluso de noche. El único detalle es que tiende a calentarse mucho por lo tanto me encuentro apagandolo constantemente para que pueda enfriarse, sin embargo, esto es normal en todos los compresores compactos como este. Así que si lo que buscas es un compresor de calidad, compacto y a buen precio, esta será tu mejor opción. ¡Lo recomiendo totalmente!

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.

Happy with this compressor so far. I use it for airbrushing hobby models with my Paasche airbrush and a couple of no-name ones, and it’s been running great. It’s reasonably quiet while running — not silent, but quiet enough. Because it has a tank, it doesn’t run constantly; it cycles on and off smoothly and holds pressure well. Build quality feels solid, and the built-in cooling fan helps keep the motor from getting too warm during longer sessions. One thing to note: depending on your airbrush brand, you might need an adapter for the hose connection (the compressor uses a standard 1/8" BSP thread). Overall, no complaints at all. Great value for the price and perfect for hobby airbrushing, models, crafts, and similar projects.

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!
