Fengda AS-186A Professional Airbrush Compressor/with Tank/Autostop 4Bar/Autostart 3Bar/Quiet/Oil-Free

It has to be quiet as I live in a one bedroom flat are use this for airbrushing and also for blowing dust out of small components it is really really quiet and I keep it under the bench but with plenty of airflow around it , it cuts out when the tank is full , I have been using this for a long time now and so far I’ve been well impressed with it , it came well packaged and as described by the seller also it is easy to maintain with only the need to drain any moisture from the air tank I have added a small pressure regulator at the side of the bench so I can plug the airline into it without having to go under the bench to do this

So far so good. Comes up to pressure quickly, kicks in to top up as and when needed. Operation has been quieter than expected, so a pleasant surprise. Holds pressure very well, I can go days between use, and it is still at full pressure so doesn’t even need to top up.The compressor gets very hot, so the case was definitely a good choice over the slightly cheaper version without it.

For the price, this is not a bad unit at all. It appears under different brands but ultimately is made by Airgoo. It has everything you would need for a budget price. I bought the model with the steel enclosure which, although looking pretty, is entirely impractical. You cannot easily access the pressure release valve. I like to release the pressure in the tank once I have finished using it and it is almost impossible to access with the metal casing in the way. It is also impossible to access the moisture screw on the bottom of the tank should you need to. In short, this is a good compressor but if you want one, get the one without the metal shield, it will be slightly cheaper and infinitely more practical.

A compressor with a designated air-tank means you never run out of air-pressure a complete stream of air worth its asked price...When I first searched this picece of hardware was a bit put off due to the fact it was going to be large and cumbersome even confusingly large as A2 but when it did arrive it was not!, it is actually quite compact including the entire piston and air-tank contained within the sheet metal case its not bulky overall extremely satisfied it doesn't take up much spare even on the desktop!...

Uk plug..very quiet…long running time with no overheating..great value for money on par with my sparmax that it’s replacing I’m very pleased with it good for beginners to experienced airbrush users I use mine for plastic kits I’d recommend it..my one gripe is the pressure valve is hard to see but once set it’s fine but it could do with being angled slightly for better line of sight

I went from a small electric compressor combo to this and straight away I noticed my air was WAY more powerful and WAY more consistent! The compressor fills the tank with air and then switches off until it needs to refill more air so in terms of noise it’s smart. In terms of volume when running it sounds like a dishwasher, not loud enough to be annoying but definitely there! Buy it if you are on the fence!

Heavier than i expected, but a great compressor for a beginner, simple and good value.

Really pleased with this. The casing to be honest is unnecessary as mine lives under my workbench (but it does look nice).Consistent pressure is a big plus. I've accidentally left it switched on overnight and the pressure in the tank doesn't drop, nor does the motor cut in to top it up.I previously had a model without an air tank reserve and had inconsistent results but the AS-186A does the job perfectly, particularly with the ability to regulate pressure to suit your application.I use Harder & Steenbeck air brushes and the set up works really well.Recommended for those looking to go to the next stage.
