BB8 Air compressor

Post by Joker56 »

Hi folks
Wondering how many of you are using the "BB8" Compresser, I'm looking at getting one , questions are as follows
1) oil less or not
2) how long to fill tank with air
3) how quiet is when charging the tank
Many thanks in advance for your replies

I have one and think it's brilliant. It is an oil compressor and us very quiet (think fridge/freezer compressor noise levels when filling) and it doesn't take long to fill the tank (I don't really notice it switching on when charging).
Another big plus point is it has enough cfm to keep up with the larger airbrushes like my Iwata RG3.
I highly recommend it.

I was very disappointed to find out this compressor doesn't look like the Star Wars droid BB-8.
