Anyone own one of these series of compressors from Lowes? I picked up the 26gal version a few days ago to replace a Harbor Freight Tools 21gal vertical, oil lubed unit I've been using for about 7yrs.
I can't get over how unbelievably quiet this compressor is. I'd compare it to the noise level of a small window air conditioner. The oil-less compressor is of the same design as the California Air Tools Ultra Quiet line, but I can't find any wording or numbers on the Kobalt unit to decipher who actually makes the thing. Anyone know by chance?
I'm a pretty light user of my air compressor and the HFT tools one I had suited my needs fine, but when I did use it, it was deafeningly loud. The loudest portable I've ever used. I couldn't take it anymore so I listed it up on the Facehole marketplace and had it sold in a couple of days. I think I paid $150 for it 7yrs ago and got $100 for it
The compressors I was considering were the Lowes unit I purchased, a Harbor Freight Tools 29gal vertical, belt drive unit or a Porter Cable 20gal belt drive, horizontal unit from Tractor supply. All are made in China and in the
I ultimately went with the Lowes unit because I had a gift card and had my father-in-law with me, so we used his 10% military discount. With tax it cost me ~$342
Love it so far. Just puzzled at who makes the darn thing.
