Reviews of Campbell Hausfeld FP209499 3-Gallon Air Compressor

1.) Good bang for my buck

I purchased this as a tire inflator/blower/air tool compressor. It's light duty, makes noise like a small compressor does, but works, has good features, and for the price is very capable. I mention the noise because people are always surprised by how noisy air compressors are. It's not designed for big air tools and the like, but is very useful for homeowners like myself.

2.) Does what it should and much cheaper than B&M stores!

No complaints here. This product did exactly what it was supposed to and has given us no problems. Even better - I saw it in Advanced Auto Parts a couple weeks back for TWICE what we paid on Amazon! SCORE!


3.) Startlingly Loud

Pros: Compact and lightweight, great carrying handle, good accessory pack, nice gauges, fair price.

Cons: LOUD, slow to fill, quick to empty, leaky fixtures, poor quick-connect.

Chose this to replace my beloved CH Quiet Air when it died after 11 years of great service, primarily airbrushing. I instantly regretted it. This compressor is LOUD - louder than a lawn mower. It's only exacerbated by the tone of the noise, which sounds exactly like a diesel tractor, and the fact that the motor kicks back in constantly and lengthily (and startlingly). In addition, the quick connect fittings don't quickly connect, and they leak even using the included plumber's tape.

Will be returning this, having picked up a lovely 1.5 gal Husky instead. It's quieter (though hardly whisper-quiet, and louder than my dearly departed Quiet Air), wheeled (though larger), and comes with better quality accessories. It fills in seconds to a higher PSI, almost instantly refills, and only turns on as often as the 3-gal CH, despite being half the capacity.
