Review: It will surprise you how quiet it is -- Fantastic compressor for modelling - I am just getting back into model building after a break of 45+ years. I had a little compressor from Badger back then and WOW was it loud!!! I liken it to my garage air compressor I have now that I have to wear earplugs for... Well needless to say the D3000R is a tad quieter -- I have it sitting in a space on a bottom bookshelf (it really is small) in front of my work station and when it turns on to fill the tank it sounds like a soft, almost soothing, fast paced "buda,buda,buda,buda" sound. I read the the sound level was 47 decibels but it really takes hearing it to really appreciate how quiet the compressor is. I have used it in one room while my wife was sound asleep (and remained so) in the next -- with both doors open! The pressure gauge is accurate and easy to set. The only negative I have heard about this is that it may be underpowered... For my applications in model painting, it has more than enough power. I spray at between 12 and 22 psi. This little machine can push 45 psi all day so I am a very happy camper. I was going to go with the Badger Aspire Pro compressor but went with the D3000R. Other than the cover on the Pro and an additional $57.00 I can see no difference between the two. Super glad I went with a quality Paasche product. Get it and you will be too!
Review: Amazing compressor. - This thing was a game changer for model painting. I can paint nonstop and the compressor can keep up and doesn't run nonstop when you are priming a model or other larger parts for other things. Its exceptionally quiet. This thing sits at my feet and I mean I notice it when its on. But its not loud and doesn't cause a lot of vibrations. Really recommend it for people just getting into air brushing. its likely the only compressor you will ever need for air brushing tasks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It will surprise you how quiet it is -- Fantastic compressor for modelling

### ⭐ Buyer Beware: Very bad quality.
*by T***S on September 16, 2015*

I ordered two of these compressors and they both were defective. The first compressor had stripped threads in the output air fitting attached to the air tank. The fitting had to re-tapped to make it useable and leak-free. I have read other reviews from people who had problems with the output air fitting not sealing. They were told to wrap a lot of teflon tape on the fitting to seal it. The second compressor had a problem with the pressure switch which is supposed to cycle the compressor on and off as the air pressure drops. The compressor was cycling on and off about every 10 seconds with no noticeable drop in pressure on the pressure gage. That compressor was returned and the replacement compressor arrived and it was damaged. The pressure gage metal housing was bent and pushed against the gage needle which made the gage inoperable. There was no external damage to the packaging, so it appears that the compressor was packed that way at the manufacturer (made in China). I will not buy another one of these compressors.
