My use for the compressor includes airing tires, blowing oil crusted debris out of small engines and similar smaller demand projects. In consideration of these uses I am very happy with my purchase. The compressor keeps up with my projects and does it with very minimal noise, which for me is important. Upon receipt of the unit, I did have to tighten a couple threads in order to eliminate some leaks at the evaporator and hose connection, but this was a simple task and customer service provided fast correspondence to the issue. Sincerely, I love this little unit and am tempted to grab one for my home projects.
