Timbertech Airbrush Compressor, High-performance Single-Piston Oil-free Mini Compressor AS186 with 3L Tank, Regulator, Moisture Trap for Hobby, Cake Decoration, Tattoo, Automotive Graphic, Make-up

Works great

I upgraded from a cheap online compressor, and the difference is night and day! The TIMBERTECH AS186 provides steady airflow with its 3L tank, eliminating annoying pulsation issues. Compared to bulky and expensive hardware store compressors, this is quieter, more compact, and much more affordable while delivering professional results. If you're into Gunpla or miniature painting, this is a must-have upgrade!

This is a really nice small, portable compressor and tank. The manufacturer (in the Netherlands) recommends it for use with airbrushes, etc. and suggests you don't use it for other applications. I am not doing airbrush work. I bought it with the intention of using it for one of those "other" non-recommended applications. I'm quite happy and satisfied with the results I get. I wanted to find an air compressor with a small storage tank, which was light-weight, easy to carry and move about, and had just enough storage capacity to use it as an air duster/blower, for small technical and office jobs. I attached a cheap air hose intended for airbrush use, and an industrial blower handle with a lever valve and put a small restricted tube nozzle on that blower. It works great as a light-duty duster. I use it to blow particulates and cleaning fluids off glass optics and other technical items. If you spray air continuously, it does drop its pressure a lot, but if you just wait a minute for it to restore pressure in its attached tank, it is back to life and ready. It is very quiet when running. This compressor/tank is way better than using cans of compressed refrigerant chemical for dusting. They "give up" quickly as soon as their internals get cold, which is fast! I highly recommend this device for smaller, light-duty dusting tasks, if you have the right nozzle and valve unit.

Got a 4 out of 5 because I Haven't had a chance to use it yet. But, did plug it in and test it. Ran up to pressure and shut it's self off. Is really quiet, could use in the house.

So far, so good. Holds pressure well and hasn't needed to be drained at all. I checked the bottom drain valve after a month of weekly use and it was dry. The heat plate gets a bit hot after extended use, but that's by design. It's not quiet, but it's an air compressor. If you want a quiet air compressor you'll need to spend 3x what you're spending here.

nice and quite. builds pressure quick. kid is going off to college. wants continue to paint minis. this should help because it's stealthy.

Great compressor! We use it with an airbrush and have had zero issues with it is far, and have had it for quite some time. Definitely recommend if looking for a small portable compressor and a decent price.

Works well, very quiet, not too big or hard to move.
