## Description

desertcart.com: PointZero 1/5 HP Airbrush Compressor with Air Tank, Regulator, Gauge and Water Trap - Quiet Portable Pump Silver : Tools & Home Improvement

Review: So far I love this compressor with tank. - Received this two days before the earliest delivery date, so thanks for that. I have a Paasche hose, and had to buy an inexpensive adapter to fit the hose. I have only used this once with my airbrush, and it worked flawlessly. It is very quiet. I will try to remember to update the post in the future after I have had more experience with the compressor. I will be using this exclusively to paint plastic models, and it seems to be perfect for this use. Since I will be spraying at 10 - 20 psi, the compressor will kick on well before the pressure would drop low enough to effect my spraying. I only have two minor complaints. One is there is no shut-off valve, which would have been nice, but the description shows it does not have one. I added one for about $6, so not a big deal. The other is that the ring used to release pressure is right behind a mount for the compressor to the tank, and makes using the ring a little difficult. Again, not a huge deal as the ring is usable, and not worth knocking off a star. I feel this compressor is a great deal for the price. UPDATE: I have had this compressor for about three months, and have used it to prime and paint a couple of models. It has worked flawlessly for me. I will stick with the 5 star rating. Quiet, dependable air at a great price.
Review: Solid quiet compressor perfect for airbrushing - Very sturdy and quiet compressor, perfect for airbrushing. It came well-packaged and required no setup other than attaching an air hose. I had to order an adapter to fit my airbrush hose to the output port. The pressure regulator is easy to adjust and holds the set pressure very accurately. The compressor has a very small tank, so it cycles on and off a lot, especially with higher airflow uses, but itbis quiet enough that it isn't annoying, even with it right beside the work area.

## Features

- Powerful yet ultra-quiet: This 1/5 horsepower airbrush compressor delivers excellent power with approximate air delivery of 1.0 CFM, with an advanced, precision-forged piston for very little noise (55 dB). Oil-less design makes this conveniently portable compressor suitable for food decorating and body/nail art along with all other standard airbrushing applications.
- Smooth, precise air output: A sensitive pressure regulator with integrated gauge and water-trap allows precise adjustment and control of airflow to deliver clean, dry air
- Constant pressure with zero pulsation: Air is drawn from the large, 3-liter (0.8 gallon) air storage tank, providing constant, regulated pressure and smooth output. This eliminates the pressure pulsations common with tankless compressors.
- Power-saving mode: Compressor features on-demand operation with preset, automatic turn on and turn off. It runs until pressure reaches approximately 58 psi, then cycles off until the pressure drops to 40 psi, when the unit restarts. This power-saving feature reduces motor wear while maintaining enough pressure to operate most airbrushes.
- Includes 7 bonus airbrush guides: As a bonus, includes access to 7 exclusive e-Book airbrushing guides: Top 8 Cake Airbrushing Tips, Guide to Airbrush Cake Decorating, Developing Basic Artistic Skills, 10 Essential Airbrushing Tips, Airbrushing Strokes and Techniques, Airbrush Cleaning Manual, and the Airbrush Lettering Guide

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I use badger airbrushes. Do I need to purchase a special adaptor to hookup my exsisting airbrush hose??**
A: Per the description this compressor has a 1/8 in male output so you’ll need the correct hose. Most hoses have 1/4 female but airbrushes generally have 1/8 female so make sure the hose you get has 1/8 female at both ends.

**Q: Can I airbrush for a long period of time with this air compressor**
A: Yes. The reason behind a tank is to have an air reserve so you don`t get the fluctuations a constantly running compressor only would have. On a compressor without a tank every time the pressure drops a little the compressor kicks on and you get some pressure variance. This is made not to start until the pressure drops below, I believe 43 psi, but shuts off automatically at 58 psi. It stays cool when it runs so yes I believe you could airbrush for long periods of time with this compressor.

**Q: Can I use it for making gundam models?**
A: Mine works great for airbrushing 1/35th armor and 1/48 aircraft. For really large models, the air pressure may drop a bit if you spray continuously for long periods. I love mine, it's nice and compact, quiet enough and really handy. The pressure regulator works well too for adjusting the air pressure.

**Q: Is the connector 1/8 or 1/4? The description says 1/8, yet the other question says 1/4 (Which is standard).**
A: The connector is 1/8 BSP.  While the physical outer diameter of the connection is roughly 1/3" across, it is a 1/8 BSP connector, as all the hoses I have with 1/8 BSP fittings connect to it without any adapters.More information than you'd probably care to know about BSP fittings can be found here: http://www.adaptall.com/tutorial/idbsp.html

*by A***S on March 19, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent compressor for the money
*by F***T on August 6, 2022*

Excellent compressor for the money, the only thing to worry about is getting the proper adapter for a standard airbrush hose ($8), as others have mentioned. Otherwise, very smooth air pressure, everything works correctly, and other than being a tad noisy for my tastes (I used to use a CO2 tank-dead silent!) this is a good piece of gear for anyone other than a full-time professional airbrush t-shirt artist. To be clear, the noise isn't that bad, maybe low 50s decibels, about the same as traffic passing outside your window. The regulator works fine and seems accurate and consistent, and I haven't had to empty the moisture trap yet, but it seems well thought out and assembled. A good buy at $100, excellent at $75!
