Okay, so I've been using this Badger compressor for about 3 months now, and here's the real tea:

First off - the QUIETNESS! My old compressor sounded like a dying lawnmower, but this one? Barely louder than my fridge humming. I can actually hear my music while painting now.

The tank fills crazy fast - like under a minute from empty. And that automatic shut-off is genius. It just knows when to stop like it's reading my mind or something.

Pro tip: Swap out the gauge for a 60psi one (super easy mod). The stock 100psi gauge is overkill since this baby maxes at 57psi anyway.

Only gripe? The power switch placement is kinda dumb - you gotta play hide-and-seek with it under the cover. But hey, small price to pay for otherwise flawless performance.

PS: That built-in airbrush holder? Lifesaver when I need to pause mid-project to answer the door or grab another coffee.
