FP2048 Campbell Hausfeld Customer Reviews:
 Excellent compressor. |
| Review Date: April 2, 2008 |
| Reviewer: S. R. Laybourn, Maryland, USA |
| Bought this compressor to inflate tires on two autos and two bicycles. Works great. Included accessories are all I need. Plenty of pressure for auto tire inflation. Properly inflated eight auto tires (32PSI) in about five minutes. Very happy with my purchase. No longer have to pay for air at service stations. |

Sadly disappointed. |

| Reviewer: HandyMan, Houston |
| I was looking forward to using this litte baby, but was sadly disappointed when I got it. Noisy is an understatement. You will need noise protection to use it. Pressure is another issue. It will not maintain PSI above 20 on continuous use. Good for airbrushing I guess, but nothing else. Maybe I am being picky about this little wan-a-be, but all I wanted was constant pressure for cleaning stuff. Didn’t get it. |

A little noisier than I had hoped |

| This compressor works as expected, except that it’s a little noisier than I expected. The description said it was quiet, but in my opinion, it’s not. Still, the portability is what I was concerned about, and it has performed satisfactorily. |

Fits my need perfectly. |

| Very compact unit. Very easy to operate. I use it mostly for inflation but I can see that it will be very useful for working with tools. It’s very easy to move around. |

Small and Light, but LOUD and Slow |

| I’m in the market for a small and light air compressor. I don’t like having to drag my big compressor around just to drive a couple of nails. This one IS small and light. It’s also unbelievably loud, louder than my big (also oilless) compressor that I previously thought was intolerably loud. It’s also very slow to fill the tank. If I only had to listen to all that noise for a few seconds I might be able to tolerate it, but this thing takes several minutes to charge up.
I give it two stars, but that might be generous. If all you want to do is pump up a bike tire, get a hand pump. It will be faster, and you won’t go deaf in the process. A car tire would be a closer call, but I’d still bet on the hand pump getting the job done sooner. You certainly don’t want it in your house. I’m hard pressed to figure out what value it has, but it’s conceivable that someone might figure one out. I returned mine, so I’m still in the market for a small and light air compressor. Now I’m more particular about checking out the noise before buying. |

| 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. |

Nice little compressor |
| Review Date: May 24, 2009 |
| Reviewer: R. M. Verlander, Seattle |
| 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. |
