PointZero 1/5 HP Airbrush Compressor with Air Tank, Regulator, Gauge and Water Trap - Quiet Portable Pump Silver

Very sturdy and quiet compressor, perfect for airbrushing. It came well-packaged and required no setup other than attaching an air hose. I had to order an adapter to fit my airbrush hose to the output port. The pressure regulator is easy to adjust and holds the set pressure very accurately.The compressor has a very small tank, so it cycles on and off a lot, especially with higher airflow uses, but itbis quiet enough that it isn't annoying, even with it right beside the work area.

Received this two days before the earliest delivery date, so thanks for that. I have a Paasche hose, and had to buy an inexpensive adapter to fit the hose. I have only used this once with my airbrush, and it worked flawlessly. It is very quiet. I will try to remember to update the post in the future after I have had more experience with the compressor. I will be using this exclusively to paint plastic models, and it seems to be perfect for this use. Since I will be spraying at 10 - 20 psi, the compressor will kick on well before the pressure would drop low enough to effect my spraying. I only have two minor complaints. One is there is no shut-off valve, which would have been nice, but the description shows it does not have one. I added one for about $6, so not a big deal. The other is that the ring used to release pressure is right behind a mount for the compressor to the tank, and makes using the ring a little difficult. Again, not a huge deal as the ring is usable, and not worth knocking off a star. I feel this compressor is a great deal for the price.UPDATE: I have had this compressor for about three months, and have used it to prime and paint a couple of models. It has worked flawlessly for me. I will stick with the 5 star rating. Quiet, dependable air at a great price.

PointZero 1/5 HP Airbrush Compressor with Air Tank arrived in a white box inside a shipping brown box and came with a small note that directs to a website for bonus airbrush guide (read virtual guide on-line).This small compressor is a good value. Compressor has nice rubber feet, is more or less quiet, has a 6' electrical cord, locking pressure adjustments, and fits a standard air brush hose.There are two minor items which can be considered faults worth mentioning:1. There is no shut-off valve, so when airbrush or other item is disconnected all air is lost. Shut off valve can be purchased at local hardware store for under 10 bucks.2. The ring used to purge/release pressure is behind a compressor mount making pulling ring difficult.

Excellent compressor for the money, the only thing to worry about is getting the proper adapter for a standard airbrush hose ($8), as others have mentioned. Otherwise, very smooth air pressure, everything works correctly, and other than being a tad noisy for my tastes (I used to use a CO2 tank-dead silent!) this is a good piece of gear for anyone other than a full-time professional airbrush t-shirt artist. To be clear, the noise isn't that bad, maybe low 50s decibels, about the same as traffic passing outside your window. The regulator works fine and seems accurate and consistent, and I haven't had to empty the moisture trap yet, but it seems well thought out and assembled. A good buy at $100, excellent at $75!

So I just recieved this little compressor today. First let me say the shipping was amazingly quick. I got this the very next day when I expected it a week a later. Next the product itself. I had already had to return a similar model from another company. As soon as I opened the box I could tell this was different. Looks like it was just pulled off the line. Taking it out supported this. The compressor was redesigned and actually better put together. The parts were flush the fittings tight but easily assembled. The motor showed more up todate configuration with the power button now lighting to show it is on. A cooling fan installed with a larger tank. This was the model i wanted. I hooked it up with my airbrush hose. This model did not include one but loses no points because i have many to spare. I didn’t have to wrap any of the screws for a sealed connection. The hose went on smoothly as if lubricated. This is always a sign of good craftsmanship. I turned it on and waited. I set the air pressure low and just as it reached pressure it stayed on just enough to fill it’s reserve and off. Let me say even running it’s quiet. My electric razor makes more noise. But it’s also got a nice setting of when to kick on when out of air and it refills quickly. This was the compressor I needed. The last one I had failed just about all these measures causing a return. This one succeeds and surpasses. So yes buy it for your art modeling or whatever. Don’t expect to run a air tool but everything will be just fine.

Use with a badger airbrush for painting 3d printed minis. Haven't had any issues.

These AC/T units are pretty much the same across several brands. Other than the color, maybe a different regulator, or an add-on brush holder and even covering it with a metal box.There are two generic types, this one with the pipe curving down the side into the tank - compared to the older generic design with the air pipe coming off the back and straight down into the tank.The cheaper/older generic has problems with cut-offs working correctly and a cheaper regulator.Pay the extra $10~15 for this version. It's noticeably quieter. the light-up power switch comes in handy. The tank is worth having. Yes its a little bigger, but for your air-brush, the air-flow is better and the compressor doesn't need to always run when you're using the brush.This brand unit does not include a hose, but then again - it may not fit your brush anyway. Go with the best price and this ZeroPoint tends to be others.
