Portable, Hard Working, and Affordable
I was extremely pleased when I came across this air compressor (and of course, Air Compressors Direct.com)
It was an adventure to find the perfect air compressor that fit my needs and my budget. I was getting frustrated with the overly huge selection on the Internet, and all of the numbers / data I didn't understand. I also couldn't afford to waste money on a bad product.
I do a lot of the ordinary day to day stuff for my family: inflating sports equipment, bikes, and car tires. I also do a lot of small paying jobs cleaning out computer systems, painting and customizing, and some light tune up work.
I enjoy being able to carry this unit along with me when needed (my back isn't what it use to be, either!)
Like the other reviews I've read, it's true- this compressor does it all quite well.
Again, I just want to say I am glad I was finally able to make a good decision on my purchase. The details provided by AirCompressorsDirect.com cleared things up for me as well.
Thank you.

How to Quickly Improve Your Gas Mileage
It doesn't take a rocket scientist (or Barack Obama) to tell us that properly inflating your tires will improve your gas mileage.
According to the Department of Energy, underinflated tires waste up to 3.3% of your fuel costs.
Inflating your tires won't eliminate our energy crisis, but it will reduce your dependance on $4.00 per gallon gasoline.
The key to keeping optimal tire pressure is consistency. You should check your tire pressure at least ONCE A MONTH or EVERY 1,000 MILES.
Sure, it sounds easy. But, do you do it?
You already spend enough money at the gas station. Why let them literally nickel and dime you for air?
A simple tire gauge and an air compressor can actually save you gas money, reduce roadside emergencies and extend your tire's life.
It takes seconds to measure your tire pressure at home with a good tire gauge. And, a portable air compressor in your garage can inflate your tires in mere minutes.
Don't forget your spare tire. Be sure to check it in the Spring and Fall, when outdoor temperature changes can cause dramatic swings in pressure.

Campbell Hausfeld 02-Gallon (Direct Drive) Quiet Air Compressor Review
Having a wheelchair and scooter rental business means dealing with flat tires, dead batteries and on rainy days.... wet seats. Here's enough power to pump up most any flat tire and help blow dry a wet seat.

Campbell Hausfeld 02-Gallon (Direct Drive) Quiet Air Compressor Review
I just bought one of these CH Quiet Air Compressors at a local retail store and paid twice as much :(( But I'm totally in love with it! This compressor is very quiet! I'm on call 24 hours a day to do emergency repair work at two hotels and one apartment complex downtown. I no longer need to carry a portable air tank that runs out so quick. This one does what I need and doesn't wake up any guests. 5-Star Rating from me!

Campbell Hausfeld 02-Gallon (Direct Drive) Quiet Air Compressor Review
I bought one of these units so my airbrush hobby can be "a little more portable" than hooking into my large full-size air compressor. I wanted something with a tank - any small tank that would smooth out the airflow a bit. This unit will operate an airbrush just fine and if the jobs not to to big, there's plenty of air for a small touch-up gun. Everyone should have one!

Campbell Hausfeld 02-Gallon (Direct Drive) Quiet Air Compressor Review
The CBS Early Show recently featured this air compressor during a segment on properly inflating your tires.
Since it aired, we quickly sold out of our current inventory. We now have more in-stock. We highly recommend this unit.

Campbell Hausfeld 02-Gallon (Direct Drive) Quiet Air Compressor Review
I have been using this particular compressor for three years now for airbrushing. It is relatively quiet and reliable. No problems with it in three years makes it a good purchase, as opposed to larger compressors I have purchased for HVLP use and only lasted a little over a year. It is not wonder it is a best seller.

Campbell Hausfeld 02-Gallon (Direct Drive) Quiet Air Compressor Review
I have been using the FP2041 predecessor (?) of this machine for about 18 months. I use it several times a week doing on-site furniture repair. It goes from 0 to full charge in about 3 minutes and will easily power pneumatic tools and air brush, as stated. I have used it from everything from banging in a few brads to running all day doing upholstery stapling.
It is much better than a tankless air brush compressor that is finicky to adjust and does not shut itself off. Using an air brush, it's easy to dial in the operating pressure and just let it cycle off and on as needed.
It is quiet, light weight, and "outlet friendly," all important considerations for working in someone's home or furniture stores. At this price, it has well paid for itself. I have recommended it often to my business associates and would not hesitate to buy it again.

Campbell Hausfeld 02-Gallon (Direct Drive) Quiet Air Compressor Review
Campbell Hausfeld offers two 2-Gallon air compressors. Both are good. But this one is better.
Why? This unit is 50% quieter than the other model -- a must-have feature if you're working in the basement or garage.
Yes, the other unit costs less. If you're more interested in saving a buck, get the cheaper one.
If you want peace-and-quiet, this one is worth a few bucks more. Quality doesn't come cheap.

This is a good little compressor for the price. All the accessories are a nice perk too.
