1 Gal Ultra Quiet Air Compressor

I love this little guy, I feel like it’s just the right size for me, it tucks under my desk nicely. There were no leaks, every connection was snug, everything works properly. It’s loud, but not crazy loud, as loud as a slightly raised voice and not a shout, loud enough to startle you at first, but you get use to it, even then, it doesn’t run that long, maybe like a minute or two. The sound is more in the lower register so it’s more comfortable to be around than a high pitched rattling roar. I was tempted to get the five gallon, but I didn’t want the increase in decibels. I’m not sure why the two gallon compressor didn’t have an accessories kit included option. The pricing of this brand’s compressor line up fluctuated in odd ways, at one point if i remember right, the 5gal with accessories included was priced a bit under the 2gal without accessories. I don’t know the brand feels a bit sketchy, but I really wanted the 2gal, because it was the largest tank at the lowest decibels. All reviews said the right things. I looked up and compared every compressor at this size here on Amazon and this one stood out to me for one of the most quietest ones in this price range. It was rated the quietest on Project Farm’s YouTube channel. The main things I looked for in a compressor were: affordable or fairly priced, reliability, a large tank and for it to be really quiet. I think this one hit the spot fairly well for the price. Looks like they don’t have anymore 2gallon sizes right now, this one is a bit of a gem. I use it mostly for airbrushing and I’m super happy with it. I would recommend if this product becomes available again. Extra: There was box option I had never seen before when I was ordering, i thought it’d be smart to hide what the item was being inside another box so i selected the box option. I probably wouldn’t select the extra box if I bought something like this again because it was shipped to me in an oversized box and it seemed to give the delivery people problems banging around inside the larger box. The outer box was really beat up, the box inside was slightly banged up, there was nothing to hold the box inside steady. Luckily this compressor is built pretty tough and survived. I’d say don’t select the box option and just be ready for your compressor’s arrival so that it doesn’t sit at your front door advertising what it is and tempting porch pirates.

This is great. I got tired of not being able to talk when the compressor came on so treated myself to one of these. I plumbed it in parallel with my old compressor but leave that off most of the time. This little one is always on and runs several times a day. It is not expensive so longevity was a question. It has been two years and it finally failed to start. Started fine without pressure in the tank. Something to do with back-pressure. Nothing to lose now so I tore it apart. The design is awesome. Easy to disassemble, O-ring seals on the heads and sturdy reed valves. There was some crud from condensation. There is an anti-backflow valve at the tank. That has some crud in it as well. Cleaned & greased the valves and reassembled it. Only took a few minutes. Works like new again! Would definitely buy one of these again.

I purchased this compressor based on reviews that I have read from other customers and I am very happy with this product. My choice was to invest in a compressor to help me save money on maintenance around my house. It has been used to clean various items such as my dryer vent and my car interior while also providing a fast fill option for filling all of my pneumatic tires. It is very quiet, my 3 year old grandson does not get scared when the compressor kicks on and he enjoys seeing all of the attachments that I use with it. The biggest use I have tested it with is as a blowout device for mt irrigation. I allow the system to fully charge and then open the valve for the line that I want to evacuate and it clears each zone individually. This saved me $90 dollars on its first use. Closing the sprinkler valve and allowing the compressor to refill is key but it only takes about a minute to refill and I run it at about 50PSI for the blowout. All lines together would overwhelm the compressor but It is very efficient if you understand how to apply the machine. I keep this machine close buy for all of my compressor needs. One thing to be aware is that when you are rolling it around using the supplied wheels and handle, the machine wants to tip backwards if you lift up past the center of gravity as the motor is the heaviest towards the back. This just requires a knowledge of general safety rules of any item like this. I keep the tank drained on follow the manufacturers recommendations for use and I have found no problems with the compressor. I fully believe this compressor has already saved me its cost in repair bills with all of the uses it can be applied to. I am very Happy!

The Limodot Ultra Quiet Air Compressor has been a great addition to my garage. As advertised, it’s impressively quiet at only 60 dB, which is a huge plus if you’re working indoors or don’t want to disturb neighbors. It’s lightweight and portable, making it easy to move around for tasks like inflating car and bike tires or using it with pneumatic tools. The performance has been reliable so far. It handles most jobs efficiently, from inflating tires to powering nail guns. I also appreciate that it runs on a standard 115V outlet, which makes it convenient to use anywhere without needing special power sources. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the tank is a bit on the smaller side, so it cycles more frequently during continuous use. For bigger tasks, you may need to pause and wait for it to refill. Also, while it works well for DIY and light shop tasks, it might not be ideal for heavy-duty use over long periods. Overall, it’s a great compressor—quiet, versatile, and easy to use. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable unit for home, garage, or light shop work.

I reviewed many compressors for several months. I needed a small, quiet, and light weight air compressor to move between my garage and my workshop. I will use this little gem primarily for filling tires, shooting brad nails, cleaning work areas, and blowing debris out of air filters. Nothing big. I received the unit just 2 days after I ordered it. Package was shipped USPS. The box was fully intact and without any signs of mishandling. Inside, the styrofoam held the unit firmly in place. I took off the plastic wrapper and the compressor looked very, very nice. The compressor didn’t have any flaws in the paint or observable material defects of any kind. The craftsmanship and engineering are excellent. Compressor lines are copper tubing and another is a braided stainless steel protective sleeve over rubber (I assume). It’s a very simple design and well put together. I know that the Limodot compressor is Chinese made, but almost every air compressor is made in China. I was originally going to get the Makita 1 gallon or the Metabo 1 gallon (both made in China). The motor on the Limodot is almost twice the hp, and the tank filling time was quicker than the Makita and Metabo. Slightly higher cfm at 90 psi with the Limodot, too. After running the compressor for about 20 minutes, the motor was very warm but not hot. What pursuaded me to go with the Limodot compressor was it seemed to be a bargain price and it is factory guaranteed for 3 years. I don’t normally buy extended warranties, but I was planning on buying an 2 year extended warranty for the Makita or Metabo compressors. So that saved me another $30 on the total overall costs. Additionally, Limodot technical support seems to be quite responsive to their customers, at least according to the reviews I’ve read. The manual is sparse but adequate, in my opinion. The shipping box said the tank is 1.3 gallons. I don’t know if that’s the actual tank capacity or not. But if it is true, 0.3 gallons is larger than their competitor's. Not a big difference, but would you rather have a 1 gallon vs a 1.3 gallon tank? The pressure gauges are adequate sized and easy to read. They are located away from one another and it would be more convenient for them to be both viewed from only one viewing angle instead of two. Using the compressor has been a very nice experience for me. Especially the quiet nature of the unit. The Limodot wasn’t quite as quiet as I had hoped. Especially as the pressure builds inside the tank. I would say the noise level is louder than a refrigerator compressor but less than a home vacuum cleaner. I had my head about 6” away from the compressor while running and could still hear a conversation. The Makita, Metabo, and CAT compressors have a 56 dB rating, while the Limodot’s is 60 dB. However, the Limodot does have an appreciably larger motor, probably why it is louder. The tank fills quickly and seems to cycle a bit more frequently than my Bostich. But that isn’t a problem for my needs. I’m 70 y.o. and moving around heavy compressors is not my idea of having fun. While the Limodot weighs 31 lbs, it’s certainly much easier to tote around than my old, ear blasting Bostich pancake, which supposedly weighs around 30 lbs. The Limodot is actually very easy for me to move around from place to place. I did not like moving the Bostich around. At all. I’m quite happy with my purchase of the Limodot air compressor. The value, the 3 year warranty, and the Limodot performance have convinced me this compressor best meets my personal needs. If you need a small compressor, you need not look any further. This is the real deal in a 1 gallon air compressor.

First one I received worked for 3 min. Then it wouldn't turn on. Returned for another, and tested it running straight for 10 hours, so far, runs PERFECTLY. The piston heads do get hot and I would not recommend touching for more than a second. Goes to about 118 PSI, runs all my air tools. And the SOUND is LESS THAN MY COMMON TALKING, WOW! That is GREAT. at 34 lbs, and a small footprint. I LOVE IT! PS: It is made in China, even though the advertising video makes it appear it is in the USA. If I didn't need a smaller foot print, I would have gladly paid the extra $50 for the California air tools compressor on Amazon that has an Aluminum tank (less chance of any rust, which you'll see coming out the the bottom air release valve after a few years of use because of moisture.) California Air Tools 2010A 1.0 HP Ultra Quiet and Oil-Free Air Compressor, 2 Gallon Aluminum Tank, 60 dBA Noise Level, Silver. So because of perfect function NOW. and really LOW noise/decibels, I give the LIMODOT compressor 5 stars.

Nice and quite ...working like achamp

I already own 3 air compressors before buying this Limodot LG1100 air compressor, but I needed one to serve a specific purpose, which is airbrushing. My 80 gallon, and 36 gallon air compressors are just too big, not to mention that they are loud. Twenty years ago I bought an airbrush compressor, and it has served me well, but it seemed like time for an upgrade. After shopping around I decided to buy this Limodot LG1100 air compressor. The Limodot LG1100 is significantly bigger than my old airbrush compressor, but it's still compact enough to easily fit on my workbench, which is really just my kitchen table. After going through the test procedure, which is conveniently in the included owners manual, I started using it to do some airbrushing. Right away I noticed how quiet the Limodot is. My old airbrush compressor is so much louder than this Limodot, which surprised me because of the power and size difference. I've included a picture of both compressors so you can see the difference. The Limodot is quiet enough that I could actually still hear my TV, not that I would be watching TV while airbrushing. I'm also pleased with the weight of the Limodot. It's easy to lift, and move around when I need to. It's super easy to setup, and use. I really like the design, and the location of the handle. When I pick it up it stays relatively level, which makes it easier to set back down. When I turn on the compressor, it fills the tank, and reaches the 120 psi cut-out pressure in less than a minute, at which point the compressor automatically turns off. I'm able to easily adjust the pressure, to my airbrush, with the regulator, which is important because I use a gravity feed, and a syphon feed airbrush. My old airbrush compressor struggled to supply enough pressure to my syphon feed airbrush. After almost a week of using the Limodot LG1100, I'm pleased to say that everything works well. Now I can work, and hear myself think. All together, I'm very pleased with the Limodot LG1100. It passed all of my tests, and it brought a huge amount of value for my money.
