Hyundai 2hp 50L Oil Free Low Noise Portable Electric Air Compressor 11CFM 118psi | HY27550

I'm a long time DIYer and have owned a 25ltr compressor for around 20 years. It started getting less reliable so I looked around for an alternative. The 'silent' range caught my eye and I nearly went for a like for like replacement - in the end I upgraded to the 50Ltr model. WOW ... SO impressed. It fills in about the same time my old 25 ltr took it is SO quiet (for a compressor). I'd say something similar to a modern washing machine. Open the box, screw on the wheels, the feet and the air filters and it was all set to go - took 10 minutes. Can't really comment on the capacity as I've only used for dusting so far but seems a LOT more capable than my old Clarke Warrior and at about half the noise level. Definitely pleased with the purchase. Arrived about 12 hours after purchase .... amazing.

So far I am very impressed. I settled on this because of the price vs. the spec that I wanted. The UK based parts support is really what sealed the deal. One thing to note. It states an air displacement of 11 cfm. I have seen a lot of reviews online that quote this as Air flow. So when compared to other compressors of an equivalent spec; it looks like this well out preforms the average of say 5-7 cfm. If you look at the spec here, air flow is quoted as 6 cfm- this is the number you are interested in, not displacement. That's just important to note to avoid an expensive mistake. For a quiet compressor, 6 cfm is still impressive, in older "silent compressors" 3 cfm was the norm. TNT delivery was great. I can't believe I got free next day delivery of such a bulky item, and it arrived by 0800! The driver left the pallet/box in the drive way and I took it from there. That brings me on to the packaging, very impressed yet again, best box I have every got with something like this. It's a mix of wood and cardboard, it has a wooden pallet bottom, thick card sides and a plywood top. Didn't look like it had been badly handled either. The packing is very secure, I think if the box is intact, the contents will be fine also. Assembly was very easy. Bolt on the wheels (2x 17mm spanners/socket required) and feet (14mm af nut), then screw on the air filters and straw things and that's it, you're good to go. Compressor comes with two euro style female (I hope I can still say that lol) outlets pre installed and also comes with two male euro style hose tails if you need them, nice touch. Firing it up, I must say, it's much quieter than I expected. I have been in loud compressor rooms, had an ear-splitting Sip airmate, have a quiet airbrush compressor. I turned this on in the kitchen and was prepared to slap the off switch if it was too loud, but instead I was taken aback by how inoffensive it was. It is literally not much louder than my 40db airbrush compressor, but less treble more bass. This compressor transmits barely any vibration. I have not been able to put it to any heavy use before writing this, but having worked with compressors a lot in the past, I see nothing at all that would cause me concern. And if anything does happen, I have my two year warranty and UK parts support to put to the test! I honestly do not know how they managed to deliver this compressor at this price point, it even seems to have been assembled with care. I hope this review was useful to someone thinking of buying this, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for the home workshop.

Who knew a home compressor could be this quiet. Quick delivery and very well packaged.

Compressor was well packaged and delivered quickly with good communication. Compressor itself is quieter than expected and runs my air tools effectively. I wish I'd bought one of these earlier. I recommend this for anyone with a home workshop.

Purchased this to replace an ageing noisy direct drive piston compressor. This replacement is so quiet compared to the old one and the quality looks great. Easy to assemble the wheels and rubber feet and working soon after. Highly recommended for the home garage

Compressor is quick in building up pressure and is very quiet compared to my old one ( Which is great for the neighbours). As being mainly used for nailing/brads air pressure seems constant. So perfect for my needs.

This is a substantial piece of equipment, built to last. Quite heavy to move until the wheels are fitted. Even quieter than I expected. Very Pleased.

Super machine - very quiet - delivery much quicker than expected ( a few days during busy Christmas period ) definitely recommend

So far so good. Compressor is quick to build up to pressure and is quiet in operation. Pressure is easy to adjust. I have used this for both nailing and spraying fence panels and although the compressor cuts back in after spraying about a third of a 3 x 2 metre panel the air flow remains constant. Really pleased with this purchase and at this price it would be difficult to beat
