Review Posted 11/19/2025
We finally got around to replacing our terribly old 20-gallon 2.5 HP unit that made more noise than anything.
Got this installed this week and am very pleased with its operation and reduced noise level.

Great Air Compressor For The Price!

Review Posted 11/14/2025
Finally got the unit wired and installed. As everyone says it’s fairly quiet for what it is, it puts out a great amount of air. I think it filled up in 3-4 min. Delivery was very smooth and came in perfect condition with no damage. I like this compressor so far I would definitely recommend it for a garage or small shop. Remember it doesn’t come with a wire, I used 10awg

In planning and building my dream garage, many things that I wanted to ensure was that I had an air compressor that would be affordable, reliable, and long-lasting. After much research, I chose the Mega Compressor from Air Compressor Direct. They had the best price, fast shipping, and great customer service. I highly recommend Air Compressor Direct.

Upgrade For Garage Hobbyist

Review Posted 11/08/2025
The compressor hasn’t been wired yet but it seems like a very solid unit. Delivery was a breeze with the lift gate option and came undamaged and on a wooden pallet. Everything looks well built and from what I hear these are pretty quiet when running. Can’t wait to get working on some projects and see what I can handle.

Mega Air Compressor

Review Posted 11/05/2025
This is a great compressor. It pumps up from 125psi to 155 psi a lot faster than I had expected. Cost was a big factor in my buying this compressor. It is quality built. The only downfall is the crating. There is nothing supporting the top of the compressor. But it did come undamaged and on time. I would highly recommend this compressor.

Big Air Upgrade
By Josh A.
Michigan
Purchased 10/08/2025 |
Review Posted 11/05/2025
This moves a lot of air and does a great job keeping up with tool and spray gun usage in my shop. A couple of issues- the mounting screws holding the pump on were not tightened at the factory- they were finger tight, and one of them fell out during shipping, and I had to replace it. Also, the oil drain plug was painted over, so I had to chip away at the paint to be able to remove it. The location of the drain plug is very inconvenient- It's basically impossible to do an oil change without making a huge mess. Overall, though, the performance for the price is worth overcoming these issues.

This is a great compressor. It pumps up fast. Creating needs to be a little better, very flimsy, not much protection, but it came undamaged and shipped on time. This is my main compressor running air tools and a plasma cutter.
