Answer This Question

This compressor is not generator or inverter friendly. It is made to run on just regular power.

        Does anyone have experience with how this compares to the California Air Tools 2hp compressors? Is this any quieter as it is rated with a much lower db?

          In the description of uses for this compressor, I noticed "inflation" isn't mentioned, whereas almost all of the other compressors list inflation as a primary use. Is this an oversight or was inflation left out intentionally?

          I often use it to inflate tires. I have a 1 ton van, inflate the tires to 80PSI

            With 20 gallon capacity and 110psi in the tank it'll inflate most anything you want. I use it to inflate truck tires, bike tires as well as run shop tools and spray guns. I think with a compressor of this capacity, it's used more as a shop tool vs. the small compressors folks use for inflation purposes only. This will inflate anything, and quickly.

              1) Is this still assembled and quality control outside USA? 2) can it handle automotive impact wrench, other air tools and automotive spray paint? Thanks

              Answer This Question

              The compressor is made in China. It will run an impact wrench, air ratchets, nail guns, staple guns, etc. it will not run something that requires sustained amounts of air such as cut off tools or grinders. It can handle light paint work, hobby painting projects. I would check the air requirements for your paint gun before relying on this compressor for automotive paint.

              This compressor is not considered a industrial type compressor so it cannot handle the big impact wrenches and paint guns. These are made outside of the USA but we do have parts for them here in the USA.

                How did you get a 115 Volt, 14 Amp motor to produce 2.5 HP? Standard watts to horse power gives 115 * 14 * 0.001342 = 2.16 HP.

                  This is a great air compressor, so quiet, gets the job done. It is also great to have two outputs if needed so more that one usage at a time.

                    It's a 2 HP compressor. It is listed as a 2 HP compressor at sites like Northern Tool and Air Compressors Direct.

                      All electric air compressor horse power ratings are basically made-up. What they're trying to do is pass-off "peak HP" as continuous HP. Ignore all HP ratings. Perhaps stay focused on CFM ratings.

                        The compressor weighs 132 lbs. My shipping label says that with the pallet and crating it was 215 lbs.

                            The quietest air compressor I've ever seen!
                            My wife and I wanted a quiet air compressor for our two car garage. After reading reviews online for several manufacturers, the Eagle Silent Series was the hands down best for our budget. I was concerned about the original delivery date given at checkout, but to my surprise, the air compressor showed up today! 13 days earlier than I was expecting it!! This thing was packaged fantastically, it was in a wooden crate, inside the manufacturer's box. It about 5 minutes to get the crate open and within the next 5 minutes the air compressor was plugged in wheels and vibration pads installed and running super quiet!! I absolutely love this machine!

                              I have a lot to say about this compressor. First, id like to mention that it came a week ahead of time after ordering it online . After getting the compressor home and unpacking it, I instantly realized that the awesome people at eagle really do care about customer service. The unit was so well packaged for transport it had no dings/scratches or anything of that nature it looked as if it was giving to me right off the assembly line ( not many companies care about that these days). now lets dive into the specs! when i first began shopping for a compressor i was looking for a unit with a decent cfm of atleast 5 (this unit cfm is 6) and 10 to 20 gallon tank(this unit 20 gallons). not only did this compressor exceed my expectations in every way possible I was shocked on how quiet it is! Also i found a large customized yetti styled cup in the package!

                                This is not an inexpensive product and there are great, even quieter alternatives for much less money but I find the quality to be outstanding, it’s definitely a quiet compressor and I kept my last compressor for over 30 years so I’m buying for the long run and I’ll forget about the price in no time. This is a great product, in my opinion.
