GMC SYCLONE 4610 Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free Air Compressor

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As of 7/17/10, I will have purchased and used this compressor to install a rooms worth of baseboard, toe molding and window trim, so I cannot speak to the longevity of it, but it is rated for 3000 hours.

I had never heard of GMC Power Equipment, but while visiting a local hardware store someone was purchasing this model. When the clerk fired it up, I could not believe how quiet it was, so I walked over to find out what kind of compressor the gentleman was buying.

When I arrived home, I checked the 'net for reviews, but could not find any. I did find out that GMC Power Equipment made an aluminum tanked version, which made the compressor even more tempting. The only negative I could find, and the reason I gave it four stars, is the relatively low CFM at 90 PSI. I'm splitting hairs here though, because my ultra-loud and heavy pancake compressor only manages 2.6 PSI at 90 PSI, which is plenty for finish trim nailers. Also, with this model being so quiet, you won't mind having it cycle to keep up with demand.

Needless to say I bought this compressor. When I picked it up, the clerk fired it up in the store and once again a crowd of guys gathered around to see which compressor was running so quietly. For something so quiet, it draws a crowd.

This compressor it is very well built and well balanced. It is also extremely quiet. Did I mention it's quiet? We're ta lking easily carry on a conversation while standing right in front of it quiet. It's amazing.

At this time I highly recommend this compressor. Unless you need the extra durability of the steel tanks (things slamming in the compressor all of the time), get the aluminum tank version for $10 more and save your back.

One thing I couldn't find online was the weight of the compressor. The aluminum version weighs about 44 pounds according the the Wii Fit board... don't tell my wife. :)
