TIMBERTECH Airbrush Compressor AS18-2, Basic Mini Compressor, 4 Bar/Auto Stop for Hobby Paint Body Tattoo Cake Decoration Model Painting Automotive Graphic Make-up

I bought a cheap $40 compressor marketed under a popular hobby paint name and I should have done a little more research and bought this first. The pressure switch works perfectly- in my case, it kicks on a second or two after i start using the airbrush and kicks off about two seconds after I stop. I have my output set between 25 and 35 most of the time.I do not currently see the need for a tank, which costs $100 more on most other models. This is easily the best bang for the buck in compressors.The only downside is the noise. I thought the poor quality one I started with was loud, but this one is not much better. And it vibrates badly enough to run across the table on its own- make sure you have a nice long hose (mine is a 10 foot) to run this from the floor, or under the table to cut the noise a little. I will be running this on a foam floor mat in addition to it being on carpet, so that it doesn't shake the shared duplex wall I work next to.

A good little air compressor for the novice hobbyist. Great price. Not overly high noise level either.

Really nice equipment to have. I get my paint jobs done in no time with this air brush machine. It’s a must have in my book. I love that it shuts off when you’re not spraying and is not loud as you would expect, so 5 stars!

Functioning very well...Love it..... very quiet!!!!

I really like this compressor! I am using it for scale model airbrushing. It provides plenty of steady air pressure and is quieter than my old compressor, which finally gave out. I am getting back into the hobby, so I am an amateur, but this is precisely the kind of compressor I was looking for.

Pump runs quiet and regulator functions as described. Pump will get hot when used for long periods. Has not caused any problem, but a pressure tank would help.

Use this for airbrushing miniatures. The default pressure setting is a bit high, but the adjustment is easy enough and the pressure gauge is easy to see. I also needed to pick up an airbrush quick connect which was 3 bucks.Noise-wise this is quiet enough that the laundry or furnace are louder than it. I think my only issue is that I didn't grab a tank for it to attach to. If I did it wouldn't start and stop as much which might be better for it.

The perfect compressor for hobby models, fully recommended, one note, not exceed the pressure because will spit water,even with the water filter, but in 20 psi bit + or bit - super usefull and recommended for the hobby modelers
