“I needed a quiet air compressor to run a small dental operatory. The compressor had to be basically in the same room so it had to be relatively quiet. This one exceeded my expectations. It is very quiet and efficient, and the price can’t be beat!. The first one that was delivered had a small air leak, [...]”

“As of 7/17/10, I will have purchased and used this compressor to install a rooms worth of baseboard, toe molding and window trim, so I cannot speak to the longevity of it, but it is rated for 3000 hours.”

“I had never heard of GMC Power Equipment, but while visiting a local hardware store someone was purchasing this model. When the clerk fired it up, I could not believe how quiet it was, so I walked over to find out what kind of compressor the gentleman was buying.”

“When I arrived home, I checked the ‘net for reviews, but could not find any. I did find out that GMC Power Equipment made an aluminum tanked version, which made the compressor even more tempting. The only negative I could find, and the reason I gave it four stars, is the relatively low CFM at 90 PSI. I’m splitting hairs here though, because my ultra-loud and heavy pancake compressor only manages 2.6 PSI at 90 PSI, which is plenty for finish trim nailers. Also, with this model being so quiet, you won’t mind having it cycle to keep up with demand. Needless to say I bought this compressor. When I picked it up, the clerk fired it up in the store and once again a crowd of guys gathered around to see which compressor was running so quietly. For something so quiet, it draws a crowd.”

“This compressor it is very well built and well balanced. It is also extremely quiet. Did I mention it’s quiet? We’re talking easily carry on a conversation while standing right in front of it quiet. It’s amazing.”

“At this time I highly recommend this compressor. Unless you need the extra durability of the steel tanks (things slamming in the compressor all of the time), get the aluminum tank version for $10 more and save your back. ”

“Use to power Gentleman Door Opener so compressor is in the house. Hardly notice. Like oil free and quick response.
Avalability of aluminum tanks great if move around a lot! As mine is stationary, used steel tanks.
Everyone who has seen this is amazed.”

 ”Purrs like a kitten. I use it on my Tormach PCNC Mill power draw bar. Charge from ambient pressure for me was 1 minute 35 seconds. Recharge from kick in pressure 23 seconds.”

“Check out their video on YouTube. It is that quiet.”

“I only do woodworking on weekends and evenings so quietness is very important to me.
I had a pancake compressor before and couldn’t use it much because of its noise.
This one is so much quieter that I can use it at night or when baby is sleeping.
Size is compact compared to my other wood working tool and can be easily stored under a work bench.
It can be easily lifted with one hand.
Used it with nail gun and after work cleaning and results are outstanding.
It would be nice if the compressor came with nail gun or tire package but its quietness!! is why I purchased this compressor.
Highly recommended!!” 

“I’m a light duty air compressor user. It will pump air into my bicycle and car tires. Once in a while I’ll use it to blow dust off something or other. So the main consideration for me was simply whether or not I could tolerate using the compressor as most of them are incredibly noisy. Well, this one is not. Friends of mine who are familiar with air compressors are impressed with the GMC’s quietness. Having said that, of course it functions very well for the tasks I ask it to do. No problems whatsoever once I figured out that teflon tape was essential for making all the connections. Also, the built in gauges appear to be quite accurate.”

“Product is what I expected, quiet, good air delivery and light for the air and horsepower”

 ”I’ve owned many compressors, and I’ve been looking for a quiet compressor without compromising power. I wish I had known about this one sooner. This is absolutely the quietest compressor I’ve ever seen. I don’t have decibel numbers, but it is about as loud as someone talking in a normal voice. I bought this for my lab at work, and I plan on getting one for home use as well.”

 ”I selected this using because I was looking for something as quiet as possible with decent airflow. I am into racing offroad RC cars and mainly use it for cleaning them in the garage.
Pros:
This unit is so quiet it is really amazing. It used to be that as soon as I turned on power to my old unit my wife would yell at me to turn it off if she was home. The first time I used this one she only came to see what the noise was once I started blowing air. The air makes more noise than the compressor.
If you are looking for an air compressor for light household duty and quiet is important then this is well worth the extra over a unit from the local hardware store.
Cons:
Mounting of wheels not well thought out. They rubbed on the side of the tank and the mounting bracket is not perpindicular to the bolt where the nut sits. A quick trip to OSH for some nylon washers and nyloc nuts and all was OK.
I have used it a number of times now and I am really happy that I took the chance and ordered this unit. Shipping was very fast too.”

 ”I tried so many others that I ended up having to take back because of how loud they were. This is the first one I am keeping! Works great, works quietly. If you were searching for a well built quiet compressor this is it.”

 ”This is a terrific value for the money. For one thing, it’s a twin-cylinder compressor so it fills up its air tank pretty quickly. And boy is it quiet! I live in an apartment building but I have no hesitation at all in using this compressor at all hours, it’s so quiet. On the other hand, it does transmit a good bit of vibration to the floor, so if someone lives below you I would recommend setting it on a couple of solid cement blocks as I have done; this dampens the vibration very nicely.”

“Now it’s true (as other reviewers have pointed out) that the construction is somewhat rough-and-ready (big ugly welds) but that does NOT detract from the overall quality, it just means it’s not as pretty as it could be. Also, the wheels are not the very best design for mobility, but hey, considering the incredible bang-for-the-buck you’re getting, why complain? Besides, just how much are you going to be moving it around anyway?
In addition to its other merits, this little workhorse comes with a combination air regulator/air gauge/moisture trap/quick-disconnect socket. The regulator is adjustable and if you push the cap down, it locks in place so the specific air pressure you want stays the same until you pull up the cap to unlock it again. All the hardware appears to be good solid quality too; it does not give the impression of cheapness. Also included is a 2nd air gauge that tells you what the pressure is in the air tank itself.
I have had five different air compressors over the years and this is definitely the most useful of the bunch. I can’t believe what a wonderful bargain this is. Very highly recommended.”

“I researched compressors for days and was spooked by all the problems people had with various models. When I came across this one and read the four or five reviews that had been posted, along with the specs of the compressor, I decided to give it a try. This is absolutely the quietest compressor I have ever seen, particularly considering how quickly it pressures up the large tank. The on / off switch is very accessible and the unit can easily be moved around. This is a perfect unit to have in a home shop or garage as it won’t drive your family or neighbors crazy as you work on projects late. Know that it does not come with a hose or attachments. I bought the 50′ Goodyear hose and Ampro accessory kit, which was exactly what I needed. Placing the compressor at the head of my garage, I can reach vehicles parked in front of the garage with ease. Don’t scrimp on your air hose and the Goodyear one doesn’t fight you … it just lays down and behaves. My only complaint is that they should include adequate washers to space the wheels away from the axle mounts so the tires do not rub. Before you start to mount the wheels, get at least 3/16″ thickness in washers to fit on each axle or you will wish you had. Couldn’t be happier with the unit and would recommend it to anyone.”

 ”It’s about your average garage air compressor in size, volume and use. But stands out extremely well in that it’s so quiet. At this point, in my opinion, they have no competition in this area. Doesn’t even scare my baby.”

 ”Very quiet compressor, this may offset the price but I found that it was quite expensive for the performance.”

 ”one of the best purchases I have ever made, works like a champ in my dental lab and makes very little noise and the price wonderful at 200 and change THANX SO MUCH”

 ”I am an airbrush artist in Charlotte, NC and one frustrating aspect of it for me was the inaccesibility of a quiet if not silent Air Compressor. I didn’t want to pay $1000 or even close to that for a good compressor that would not terrify my kids or clients. So when i saw the Cyclone I thought it was just hype. I bought [...] and i am not only pleasantly surprised, I even suggested to airbrush speacialty site [...] that they look into being a reseller for startups. Because the compressor is quiet (you can hear it running)you never feel disturbed while painting. [...]”
