TIMBERTECH Airbrush Compressor AS18-2, Basic Mini Compressor, 4 Bar/Auto Stop for Hobby Paint Body Tattoo Cake Decoration Model Painting Automotive Graphic Make-up

I use it with my iwata eclipse and love it. Nice and compact has to refill with no tank but I barely even notice the noise. Much quieter than anticipated can’t even be heard with a door closed.

I bought a cheap $40 compressor marketed under a popular hobby paint name and I should have done a little more research and bought this first. The pressure switch works perfectly- in my case, it kicks on a second or two after i start using the airbrush and kicks off about two seconds after I stop. I have my output set between 25 and 35 most of the time.I do not currently see the need for a tank, which costs $100 more on most other models. This is easily the best bang for the buck in compressors.The only downside is the noise. I thought the poor quality one I started with was loud, but this one is not much better. And it vibrates badly enough to run across the table on its own- make sure you have a nice long hose (mine is a 10 foot) to run this from the floor, or under the table to cut the noise a little. I will be running this on a foam floor mat in addition to it being on carpet, so that it doesn't shake the shared duplex wall I work next to.

Works great so far

Pretty quiet and light. My Badger Patriot's air hose fit without any adaptors or reducers.

Use this for airbrushing miniatures. The default pressure setting is a bit high, but the adjustment is easy enough and the pressure gauge is easy to see. I also needed to pick up an airbrush quick connect which was 3 bucks.Noise-wise this is quiet enough that the laundry or furnace are louder than it. I think my only issue is that I didn't grab a tank for it to attach to. If I did it wouldn't start and stop as much which might be better for it.

U like everything about this compressor except it gets rather hot after laying into it for a while. Need to take breaks to let it cool.

Functioning very well...Love it..... very quiet!!!!

I'm new to airbrushing and have only used it a few times so far but it was really easy to set up and use. A few tips I learned:1. You will likely need an adapter for your air hose. I use the badger 105 patriot airbrush and the badger 50-2010 airhose, and it needed this adapter to connect to the compressor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VZO0Y4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=12. Make sure to play around with the pressure settings. For painting miniatures, I set it around 35 PSI.3. Make sure to get cleaner solution to clean your airbrush between colors, and consider dissasembling and cleaning more thoroughly between uses or especially if you aren't going to be using for awhile!4. When disassembling and reassembling during the deep cleaning process make sure to look up YouTube videos on how to do it. There is one part to the reassembly (mostly having to do with the trigger) that requires quite a bit of dexterity and care to do correctly.
