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

I use this with the Paasche H-1SA airbrush single action... and it works perfect... compressor is light and convenient, really quiet compared to other compressors, I also love the ease of setting pressure for airflow... I highly recommend this.

This small air compressor is very good. It's quiet enough that I do not feel like I would disturb the neighbors (I live in a building) and it's small enough to fit anywhere. It can and will shake off the desk (made of wood) but holds steady on my granite countertop. Just be sure to set it someplace safe as the suction cups do not work as you might expect. Test it out and be ready to catch it if it does the tango off your workspace. I use Paasche hose and airbrush, so an adapter was required from my hose to the compressor, but it works flawlessly! Please note that when you properly tighten the fitting/hose to the compressor with a wrench the pressure gauge will remain slightly tilted. This doesn't hinder the performance or airflow thus far. I love the on and off feature. It'll hold 50 PSI for about 15 minutes, kick on for about five seconds and then shut off again. It seems to hold up well. I do not run it constantly, as my work requires me to airbrush at relaxed intervals, so thus far I have not had any over-heating issues. If you find that the compressor doesn't hold pressure, be sure to check your hose is tightened and that the pressure gauge attached to the compressor is also tightened properly to prevent air leaks. In the future, I will definitely be upgrading to a compressor with a tank, but for now, this works well for my needs.

Perfect for my airbrush. Works great. It's very quiet. Nothing else to say. Highly recommend.

Seems to work fine after spending 2 weeks trying to find air hose adaptors. So far compressor seems to work. Going to have to figure out different air pressures for my airbrushs.

I bought this compressor to use for fine scale modeling. I had been using a small automotive style compressor with a 2 1/2 gallon tank. It was quite loud and seemed to run hot. I recently changed residence, and; the neighbors complained. So, I knew I had to do something different. This was the one I chose. My main concerns were noise and surging at the airbrush. The unit is very quiet and there is no surging of any kind. However, none of my airbrush hoses fitted up to the output at the compressor. I had anticipated this and ordered an airbrush fitting kit at the same time I ordered the compressor. I have a Vega 2000, a Richpen 112B, and an Iwata Eclipse 0.2mm. Although I only used one fitting out of the package, it was well worth the $7.00 or $8.00 I spent on it. The pressure adjustment at the water trap is very fine tuneable. You can set it at 20 bar (my usual setting) or anything you so desire. Just pull up on the knob. Counterclockwise is less pressure, clockwise is more. Then push down to lock. This is a quality unit, just with the caveat; that you probably need adapters to make you particular airbrush work. Hope this helps anybody on the fence.

I thought the description was just a marketing thing of how qiet this is. It is in fact very quiet. I use it for airbrushing and with my laser engraver. I will be ordering a second one as well

I purchased mine a year ago. I used it 5 times to airbrush a few models using their airbrushes.(I own 6 of them)So, I go to turn it on and it doesn't come on, red light on but no pressure. I adjusted the pressure, nothing. I call Point Zero and they inform me that the maximum life of the unit is 1 year, no matter how many times you use it, refuse to help me troubleshoot the unit, nothing. The person literally hung up on me after saying 12 months is the maximum life of the unit when I told them I had it for 14 months. I change my previous endorsement to the modeling groups I am a member of, including the charity I helped found for Wounded Veterans to get into modeling. I don't know who to recommend at this point, but DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! IT WILL WOTK FINE A FEW TIMES AND THEN STOP.

I'm really just starting out airbrushing for Gunpla, and I bought this to use with my Gundam Marker airbrush, but the fittings are the wrong size, so I have to wait until those come in before I give a proper review.However, even without using it yet, the simple act of unboxing of this thing has already left a bit of a bad impression.This just arrived, and upon opening the stock white shipping box, I was surprised to find that the package contained no paperwork or instructions whatsoever. Just the compressor itself, some plastic wrapping, and Styrofoam inserts to keep it from jostling around. Literally nothing else. That said, the weight on the item itself feels hefty enough, and nothing feels loose or broken, so it seems like that Styrofoam did its job very well.It says in the product description that you can gain access to some e-book guides (none of which among those listed on the product page include a manual for the device), but there are no indications on how to access them. If they were sent via email, then they probably went straight to spam or something because I see nothing in my inbox.EDIT: I got some connectors, and it was actually working pretty fine for what I was using it for.However, I have recenly noticed a good buildup of moisture in the trap after about a month of moderate use, and the airbrush is randomly spraying mists of water even when It's not shooting any paint. It's kinda messing up my finishes.I have no idea how/if I can remove the trap to empty it. Everything on this compressor is secured so tightly that I'm afraid I'll break something if I force it.
