Greater than one weekThis is very quiet and will run a finish and brad nailed perfectly.so small and easily moveable it is fantastic.this is my new second favorite compressor brand the best is Castair.if you want a compressor that will last 20 years buy castair.they sell directly and they are very well priced.And American made.this one looks to be made in Taiwan at least the motor is anyway.rest of it looks like American parts.Taiwan is better than chinese.dewalt,porter cable,craftsman,Hitachi all made in china.senco makes a great unit for a very reasonable price.highly recommended!

> 3 dayI like the concept and the stellar reviews, mine worked for 2 days and then developed a terrible noise at the end of the pump cycle in the motor fan area. I have requested a refund and will return it. I am very disappointed with this purchase. UPDATE: I could not decide on any other brand or model besides this compressor so I thought I would try to fix this one before boxing it up for the return. I knew where the noise came from so I removed the 3 screws that hold the motor end cap on where the fan is. With that off, I could see the plastic fan had slipped on the motor shaft and was scrapping against the cover. I pushed the fan in on the shaft to where I thought it should be. With a small wrench and screw driver I tightened the 2 screws. There is a plastic tab that wont let you over-tighten it. Put it back together and no noise. Seems to be working fine now.

> 3 dayThis is the cutest little compressor I have ever seen with a tank. I wouldnt use it for any nailing like many of the other reviewers. I have a 1hp Craftsman with a 5 gal tank on wheels to do that. I bought this to inflate medical cart and hose reel cart tires. for that it will work fine. It only pumped up to 125lbs.,. not the 150. Took about 1 1/2 minutes the first time. Seems to cut in around 90 psi and shuts off at 125 psi. For ANY nailing contrary to the other reviews, using this would drive me crazy waiting for it to pump up.

> 3 dayi just love this super little compressor!!! this thing rocks, i can have it running in the house with a baby sleeping in the next room and not wake the little rug rat. It keeps up with my Grex air brush without staying on the whole time like the compressor I had before. I had only one problem with it, it started to leak air from the valve that turns the compressor off when it got to pressure, so I sprayed the valve with WD 40 and gave it a good tap on the valve and walla fixed. I would buy another on of these in a hot second so if your looking for a good compressor this is it at a reasonable price so buy away with confidence, you wont be disappointed.

Greater than one weekIm very impressed with this air compressor. Very light to tote around. I only use this for small projects on the job site but use a much larger compressor for serious work with constant usage and larger nailers. This works great for smaller finishing nailers with light to moderate usage. Will it work on a framing nailer. Yes but only a few shots then it needs to kick on for a little while. I also must mention that this thing has held air for days without losing any air pressure. First compressor I ever owned that would do that.

> 3 dayAs others have written, this unit is lightweight and quiet compared to slight larger compressors. I have a craftsman 1.5 hp compressor that is heavy and rusting away and it is much louder than this senco unit. Because of its low cfm, it forced me to consider if it was too small for my Bostitch trim nailer which seemed to require much higher cfm. Turns out the nailer cfm rating were for 100 nails per minute! The only application I have seen at that rate is a mexican nailing on a roof. If one is carefully nailing trim, a rate of 5 per minute is more likely. Upon using this compressor and the nailer, I found it worked just fine. It will probably work for larger nailers also but will not work for rotary power tools and the like that require continuous cfm. Also I found senco support to be quickly responsive. I went to their web site to download a digital copy of the manual and found an out-of-date version. I filled out their web form on a Sunday asking for the newer version and had it in an email before noon on Monday. Hard to beat.

> 3 dayBought this for Home/ work To use with a pin nailer and 18 staple and brad gun It does not get used everyday This is very quiet and very light Which helps this old guy I was using a CP compressor from harbor freight Way to noisy and took forever to pump up and heavy This is quick and recover time is great Tried it out in the living room and I could still hear the TV I did pump it up to full pressure shut it off and left it sit I did notice it only lost about 5 pounds of pressure in a 10 hour period Very Happy with it Buy it and you wont be sorry Just remember you can not run a impact gun Cut off wheel and so on with this If you need one to run those tools buy a bigger one But for staples and pin nailers this is great

> 3 dayI recently had to change thing at my home studio that i use for airbrushing projects. I had a Porter Cable 6gal pancake compressor. and it works fantastic with only one drawback. It is very very loud inside the house hence all the complaints every time i turned it on. So I went hunting for something a little quieter. The best place to search was here at Amazon and not to my surprise I found and read the reviews on the Senco PC1010 and bought it. WOW! What a great buy for the money. Very affordable, very easy to get around and best of all it is very quiet. the recovery time is very short. If you are looking for a great airbrush compressor save yourself a lot of money and get this compressor. You will not regret it.

Greater than one weekFirst off, let me tell you that I have five compressors and a couple of inflators now and have used many in over thirty years of contracting. This thing is great. After using my buddys I ordered one the next day. This does not take the place of my twin tank Empire unit for framing or heavier trim work, this will not take the place of a shop compressor or job-site unit. However - for a quick trim or repair job with a pinner, narrow crown stapler and even up to my 15ga finish nailer this is just fine. What a joy to carry this instead of a 50-60 pound unit in and out of small jobs. Quiet, quick, light and seems well built. The regulator was sticking for a while but that cleared up and I cracked the gauge glass getting it in and out of the truck so often. Still just keeps on pumping.

> 3 dayThis compressor is light and compact and easily maneuvered around the job site. Construction is solid with good quality components and great overall design. It is also the quietest compressor I have ever heard. Hurricane Michael left us with a lot of repair work to our vacation home in Mexico Beach, FL. I could not haul all the tools I needed from home in PA, so I bought this small compressor from Amazon to power a brad nailer for replacing floor and trim. The compressor worked perfectly and quietly, and did not even bother our dogs when it kicked on.
