I don't know if the reviewers who complained about the noise have ever used an air compressor before but this one is not that loud at all! Also, oilless compressors always take a little more time to pump up a full charge. And I don't know how one could expect a 2 gallon tank to provide any type of continuous airflow for cleaning, spraying etc. I am a professional woodworker and this lightweight little guy is so perfect for pick-up air nailing work or where a small trim job is needed and I don't want to lug around even a pancake unit. This is a fantastic machine for small nail jobs and inflating things so I don't know what others are expecting. Also, I bought mine brand new on sale from Ha**** Fr***** for $55.00! But even Amazon's price is well worth it. My only tiny complaint is that I wish the max pressure was 120 instead of 100.

Yeah, it's a little noisy, but less noisy than other compressors that I've used - including the little 12v that I throw in the car trunk. Once the 2 gallon tank is charged the motor turns off and only turned on sporadically while I used it on a nail gun to put back molding after painting a room. The tank isn't big enough to do any big jobs, but it's small enough that the package easily fits on a small shelf space in the garage.
