Very helpful. Thanks for this! I had no idea the bleed valve worked like that. Think I might get the Arism Mini instead, but we'll see.

I appreciate this review and I'm always looking at items that can help improve my hobby, but I just don't get this. What does it offer that will replace my current compressor? That moisture trap/bleed valve assembly seem awkward and regulating the pressure by constantly releasing air and therefore constantly running the compressor... just seems, well, silly to me.
Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. Thanks again for the review

+burntorangeandblue My thoughts exactly! The bleed valve seems a... bleeding waste of compressed air (and therefore energy) to me.

[@burntorangeandblue]

+Matthew Lenton Well, my current compressor is 10 years old, doesn't have an on/off switch, and doesn't have a tank. So when I see a compressor review I pay attention because I could need one at any time.
Your tone seems slightly hostile so I'll just move on.

+burntorangeandblue Wow... that seemed hostile? You must not get on the Internet much. :D

Haha ha, some people! lol

[@claytonmcclain182]

thanks, and is there a silent one? mine sounds like a jack hammer going off in my hobby room. ugh

[@kdog322ify]

Is it as noisy as it seems in the video?

[@kdog322ify]

Ok...that makes alot of sense. Thanks for letting me know.

[@liverpoolandmanchesterrailway]

Oh, I do not like that.. I need my regulator and moisture trap on the compressor, I do not want it all in my hand. Thanks for the review!

[@kdog322ify]

Also, what was the cost of it?

[@kdog322ify]

Thanks for the info.

@pencilpauli lol yeah having it kick in every couple-seconds as air bleeds off would drive me nuts too. I'd set it at max psi and no air bleed just so I wouldn't have to listen to that.

[@rafamacamp]

Lol, Here in Brazil i bought a smaller, lower noise and same pressure, and lower price compressor. It have a plastic external but it's ok

[@808galvatron]

I do not recommend this compressor. I stick with my central pnuematic compressor.

[@tumadsvids]

Pretty garbage design i must say. And overpriced imo.
