Comments about Iwata Power Jet Pro Studio Compressor:

I do custom murales on motorcycles, helmets and such and always used a tool-type compressor setup in the past. I was looking to get away from the noise of my shop and large compressor to paint some fine details, and decided to get one of those quiet compressors and give them a shot. Wow, I was amazed. This thing is super quiet, works great and is of premium quality. Can't be wrong with Iwata...they're a little pricey, but well worth the investment. I chose this one because of the tank, and am glad I did. I strongly recommend this compressor to anybody doing airbrush detailing. Of course for larger areas or when using my spray guns I go back to the shop's compressor, but for anything detailed this is my new tool of choice. Paired with Iwata airbrushes, it doesn't get any better.

One thing that was a little annoying about it is the airbrush holders. I would have preferred the type which have two rods to support the brush, these ones support it from the tip and some models don't fit as well in the holder (suction types especially).

Another thing that bugged me is that the power cord is really short. They recommend not using an extension cord, but the power cord on the compressor is only 5' long...way too short for me.

One last thing, the air hoses that come with it are a little flimsy, I prefer the larger threaded ones. My personal preference...

But these are minor cons, and besides that I have no other complaint!

- Great size, doesn't clutter your workspace,
- VERY low noise,
- Dual output, wow! I can have two brushes running, one with white the other with black...finally less cleaning!!
- Really nice construction, very well built machinery.

Oh one last note, i'm in Canada and this is THE best deal I could find...so don't hesitate to order from here (and no, I don't work for Blick lol). Even with shipping and taxes, still cheaper then buying it in the stores here...that is when you can find a store that sells them!
