Not as quiet as advertised!
I did a loudness test at home with both the crafsman and bostich sitting on the floor and me holding the phone at the same height above each one. The bostich was slightly quieter but not enough to make a difference. It was only 2 db quieter.The good:- Bostich has a better storage option for placing the cord on top of the unit for storage.- very lightweightThe bad:- The cord on the side of the unit that connects the bottom to the top gets extremely hot- not nearly as quiet as advertised- you might receive a unit in which the top peice isn't connected properly to the unit (see photos)-couplers might not be brassOverall I'll still give it 4 stars!

The Bostitch BTFP02012 6 Gallon Pancake Compressor has been a game-changer when it comes to tackling small tasks around the house. This handy little machine is not only convenient but also lightweight, making it a breeze to move around as needed.

The convenience factor is a major plus. It's like having a reliable assistant for those DIY projects. Need to inflate some tires, drive in some nails, or power up pneumatic tools? This compressor has got you covered, and it's as easy as pie to use.

The lightweight design is a real back-saver. No more lugging around heavy equipment. It's like having the power you need without the extra weight. I can carry it from room to room, and it's ready to go whenever I am.

But don't be fooled by its size; this little guy is powerful. It's like the David that can take on Goliath. Whether I'm using it for airbrushing or running my nail gun, it delivers consistent and reliable performance. It's a workhorse in a compact package.

In conclusion, the Bostitch BTFP02012 6 Gallon Pancake Compressor has made small tasks around the house a breeze. It's convenient, lightweight, and packs a punch. If you're looking for a compressor that's dependable and versatile, this one is a winner. It's like having a trusty sidekick for your DIY adventures, and it's become an essential tool for me. 🛠️💨🏡

I have no real complaints, many compressors I've owned or currently own are loud. Do I wish it were quieter? Sure, but when you look at the price, the capability, and the reliability of the unit, it's more than a fair trade off.

I use the compressor frequently, to supply air sprayers for stain or paint for projects, occassionally with a brad/finish nailer, but most freqently to fill vehicle tires; as the wife and I commute a lot, I do oil changes every few weeks with tire pressure checked and filled. This machine has had zero issues with any tasks I've thrown at it, and I've now had it for almost 2 years with regular useage, not a single failure.

The only other minor complaint beyond the noise is it can "dance" a little if placed on certain smooth floors or inclines, but I'd imagine many pancakes could do the same. But I've done no maintenance and regular usage and it's never failed me, if it breaks I'd gladly purchase again.

Compressor works as advertised. Small air leak at tank connection from pump which should have been found when tested by manufacturer. Minor issue, still useable, will fix leak and use.

After reading lots of reviews, I bought this as a Xmas gift. They love it and use it for all sorts of things. Has enough air pressure for all everyday household projects. Holds pressure for a decent length of time. I have used electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic power tools my whole adult life and this unit feels sturdy and well built. Read the manual if you plan on doing anything like painting a fence or something that needs a long duty cycle. Not advisable to run without giving the unit a rest. I would recommend this unit for any homeowner to use for blowing out filters, filling tires, blowing up pool floats, detailing a car, etc. Get a decent kit of accessories and for contractor grade projects you may want to get a heavy duty hose. The uses are almost limitless

I bought this compressor to replace a series of duds, including a "nice" oil-cooled 8-gallon one. My primary use is filling tires (cars, truck, tractor), and I've been using it for that for several months with excellent results. First, it's significantly quieter than any small electric compressor I've used. It sounds like it's running at a lower speed, so even better than just being quieter, it's less of a high-pitched scream and more of a lower-pitched, dull roar. I have no instrumental measurements to back this up, but it's noticeable and welcome.

Second, and also welcome, the tank holds a charge. If the compressor kicks on and fills the tank while I'm topping off a tire, and then I turn it off and close the exit valve (counterclockwise, of course), I can come back a week later and the pressure in the tank is still where I left it, and unless a tire is fair empty, the 6-gallons is enough to top off a car tire with 10-15 pounds without even plugging in the Bostitch. Nice!

Third, if you've used an oil-cooled compressor in cold weather (Great Lakes winter here), to have this machine just start up and run instantly in any weather is such a wonder. Damn oil-cooled compressors hate to start up properly in the winter, just when you need it for some plowing with the tractor that's been sitting for a few months since the autumn. This just works.

Finally, I haven't used it with a nail gun or spray painting or anything like that, so I can't review that, but it's been a welcome new tool in the garage for everything else.

El compresor se ajusta a la descripción del mismo, por tanto funciona muy bien. Sin embargo, es importante señalar que si la intención es operarlo en un lugar cerrado, debe considerarse usar protectores auditivos, pues sí es bastante ruidoso. Otro dato que no se especifica es el tiempo de carga a partir de cero, el cual suma tres minutos y siete segundos (3:07) hasta que se detiene automáticamente en 150 psi.

En general, es liviano, estético y funcional.

Excelente para trabajos con herramientas neumáticas. Para pintura la capacidad del tanque es un poco baja y el compresor se prende a cada rato, pero si el ruido no les molesta , también es una excelente compra.

I have used the compressor a couple of times and it works very well. Inflated a tire and ran one of my nailers, no problems. One improvement I would like to see is a wing or T on the bottom bleed valve. I tried to transfer the valve from another brand of compressor but the threads were not compatible.
