I install cabinets for "another" large home center and get much satisfaction unloading all of my Ryobi gear (18v+ and saws as well). I use thing like 30hrs a week (no joke) and have done so for 2+ years! I don't know how long it will last now that I'm bragging on it, but if it went out tomorrow i would buy another without hesitation..... One thing to note, If you don't purge the condensation from the tank it will not last very long at all, as the moisture will eat up the graphite rings and tank lining.

This is a great little unit. Super light and does a great job at blowing up tires and running nail guns. The best thing about it is how compact it is and how light it is very easy to carry around. Another nice feature is the built in storage for all your air tools.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a great compressor, atleast for a occasional user like me. Its easy to operate and perfect for filling up tires and blowing dust and debree off of different things. I bought the Ryobi two-nail gun set at the same time but haven't had the chance to use them yet. As other owners have said, the only improvement I would like to see is a little more clearance under the unit when trying to roll it around on its wheels.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great design, handy storage for nailers and accessories. The only thing is the placement of the wheels. It doesn't roll very easy and it has to be at the perfect angle to do so. Other than that, no complaints.

Researched for a good air compressor for a gift. It was a no brainer to get the Ryobi. The price was amazing, received before the estimated delivery date, and the compressor is a dream. Well built, operates smooth and quiet. The wheels are perfect for moving around without breaking your back. I will definitely recommend to anyone.

I own several air compressors I use in my cabinetry shop. I was in need of a small but powerful portable unit. After researching several brands and models, I purchased the Ryobi. Best purchased yet from Home Depot. The Ryobi is light weight but industrial enough to run a stapler & pin nailer. I was able to reupholster a chair in no time on sight. Highly recommend for the occasional portable project.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Small and pretty quite as compared to another brand small compressor C-H that failed after less than a year. Typical Ryobi quailty. Good value for the money if you need a small unit.

The only thing I would say as a negative is that it was a little bigger than I expected but it still is portable enough to take anywhere. It has performed well even in cold weather because of it being oiless. My old compressor would never get up to pressure to air up a 50lb. tire but this one seems to do everything and the noise level is low. Great product.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice package overall and much more quiet than other oil free compressors that I've owned. At this point the only thing I've used it for is pumping up tires (lots of tires) which is mainly what I bought it for and it did just fine.

Quiet. Refiills tank quickly. Easy to move around with attached handle. Stores compactly. Hose storage area doesn't work very well. I was most concerned I might get a noisy unit since my old one was noisy. Other reviewers said it was quiet and that helped me make this choice. You pay a little more, but it's worth it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

As I've only used the compressor twice I cannot give a full review. What I can say is that it is easy to use, has extremely convenient features, is quieter than other small compressors and I fully expect the performance I get from my other 15-20 Ryobi tools. Best warranty in the industry.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Most of the reviews I read before buying, complained about the hose, It is the only complaint I have about the unit.The hose works well, except in real cold weather, hard to uncoil. In all, the unit works well and is a real bargain. Is much quieter than my big shop unit. I use in my garage for use on my cars.
Yes, I recommend this product.
