    Great little compresso
    Good Points
    Space Saving. Lovely and quiet.

    Bad Points
    I run out of air a little too often but that is not a criticism of the compressor. Just think I should have bought the larger model.

    The sound of silence
    It’s a small compressor and just what I needed I just can’t believe how quiet it is and how little it vibrates I don’t use a lot of compressed air mainly for cleaning out scroll saw cuts this is just the job. Would throughly recommend this compresso

    Very very strong.
    This seems to be a small but very robust machine. Deceptively heavy due to its stature.

    Yet to use it.

    I think the instructions could be better and more in depth. Having to duplicate online seems rather pointless, but I found necessary to learn more about the machine.

    The final thing is that Hyundai or the manufacturer could at least double the length of the main power lead. This proves very restricted and reliant on extension lead.

    Be wary of switch
    Good little compressor. But the on off switch is so tight. I nearly sent it back as it wouldn’t turn on without a very hard pull. My fear is this will lead to a switch failure. Other than tha a nice little unit for airbrushing.

    Ideal
    My main reason for purchasing this compressor was for bike and car tires, along with cleaning power tools etc. Its a portable unit and the noise level is very acceptable. I’m very happy with my choice, especially at this price. Spent another 30 on some accessories that do the trick

    Not the greatest quality
    Like I said in my review it’s not the best quality,
    It doesn’t come with any additional components like a hose or any other tools previously I have bought one and it has come with a pump, a gun for spraying and a hose
    The first one I got was damaged and bits were falling of ie a metal box with electrical bits in it
    I screwed on the breathing pipe and that fell apart in my hand.
    I’ve used it this morning to pump up tyres on my MTB and it seems to be ok .
    It is quite

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersGreat small compresso
    Compressed air is the best air. And this compact compressor from Hyundai fills an important niche in the market.

    I don’t need compressed air often. And when I do, I don’t need a lot of it. But for those instances this well made little unit really ticks all the boxes

    It’s super quiet. It’s also small and light enough to be easy to store and carry around. More than enough power and capacity to top up car and motorcycle tyres. Add a blow gun and it makes short work of all sorts of cleaning tasks. Also good for light finish nailing and stapling.

    Not designed or intended for heavy duty industrial use. If you’re spraying paint or doing construction nailing you’ll need a bigger compressor. But this lovely little unit from Hyundai will keep your car tyres at perfect pressure and do a sterling job at dust removal without deafening you or annoying the neighbours.

    Five out of five for its intended purpose.

    Excellent small compresso
    Overall an excellent product. Very quiet indeed while filling and in use. Compact and ideal for workshop uses such as spraying small areas, blow-guns, pinning and stapling. No oil required is an additional bonus. My only issue is the stupidly short mains cable (just 800mm). If the machine is on the floor the cable won’t reach mid-height workshop sockets and if it’s on the bench it won’t reach the ceiling mounted ones either! I will replace it but I shouldn’t have to. It would cost next to nothing for the manufacturers to double the cable provided and deliver a full 5-star product.

    Great for my needs
    I like this,it does exactly what it supposed to do.Powerful,easy to use .Now for a few points.The start switch was stuck in OFF but a zap of wd40 soon fixed that,the plug lead is way too short it’s ridiculous,and it gets hot after a while so I’ve had to replace the lead with a longer one and this stays cold ,I’m not sure but maybe such a short lead could effect the flow of current either way it needs to be longer.I had to buy a air line and air gun to use this costing me more money.Apart from these snags it’s a good little compressor for its price I’m happy with it.

    Brilliant for shop/home use
    I wanted this for my shop, so didn’t want something that was really loud. To be honest, I think my coffee maker actually makes more noise that this compressor.
    It’s small enough to be able to move it about if you need to, and has rubber anti-vibration feet, so doesn’t transmit noise that way.
    Probably from empty to full only takes a minute or so, and then stops.
    Have to say, perfect so far. Also comes with a good guarantee (but hoping not to have to use it).

    Neat,well made,very quiet.User manual says to pull safety valve to release air which is wrong,abrass knob is TURNED to release the air.Also the on off swich was jammed in the off position,but I sorted that myself.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis Compressor was a little more noisy than I expected.
    This Compressor was a little more noisy than I expected but far better than the large compressor we use for big jobs.
    We wanted a smaller unit to drive a couple of very small air valves and it does this great.
    It would have been far better if it came with an air regulator and moisture trap.
    As many people have reported the mains lead is far too short but it is easy to change.
    Also the On/Off switch is far too stiff to use. We could virtually pick up the compressor beofre it released. We followed the advice of other users and removed 3 tabs at different points around the circumference. Operation was then perfect.

    Quiet but short power cable
    This is much quieter than my previous compressor BUT the power cable is ridiculously short. If it came with an air line I would not have had to purchase one seperately but I knew that when purchasing. Overall happy so far.

    What a great little compressor I bought eight litre because i wanted to be able too move it around with ease.
    It is super quite and gets up to working pressure quickly but one of the best things i think is that the manufacture has faith in its products and gives it a two year warranty, thats means a lot to me so i was willing too pay a little more and buy this product. Thanks Hyundai you have made my day by supplying a quality product.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersSuperb!
    Bought this on recommendation from a YouTube video. Amazingly quiet, very portable, yes the cable is short but why does that matter? Got mine from Amazon warehouse and was as good as new, but saved me almost 50! Used with Silverline air nailer, great combination for diy work, cheap set of air accessories from Amazon to go with it, all in all about 160 for a good air nailer set up with + 5000 brads of various length. Highly recommend this quiet compressor.

    Brilliant compresso
    This is the best air compressor I’ve ever had, it’s about as loud as my new washing machine, I could have a phone conversation right next to it. Easy to carry and it fills fast.

    Previously is had a 500 belt driven air compressor until it dropped its oil. This new 150 compressor is much better for my engineering and spray painting needs. Might not have a big enough tank for an orbital sander.

    Perfect for staple gun.
    Being a complete novice, I was so worried about buying the right air compressor for a staple gun. However, after much research I bought this one as it was fairly quiet (an important consideration for me) and it seemed to be powerful enough for a staple gun. I have to say I am very pleased with this compressor and although it may look intimidating to a beginner, it is very easy to use out of the box if you read the instructions. I bought the coiled hose to go with it and a Tacwise staple gun. Made my hobby upholstery job a breeze. Happy customer.

    Great little compressor. Fills the 8 litre tank very quickly and doesn’t make too much noise doing it. You need to check the CFM (cubic feet per minute) of the tools you want to use, this is 4 CFM so certainly won’t run most spray guns or air nibblers but is fine for nail guns, inflating tyres and occasional air wrench use. For the kind of light use I need, it’s perfect.

    Don’t think about it, just buy i
    This is my first foray into compressors and I could not be more happy. I searched high and low for the perfect unit but the noise level and price were dealbreakers for the other brands. This unit is great value for money and whilst it’s not super silent like the branding suggests, it’s super silent in comparison to the competitors and in this price range it’s a no brainer.

    I thought long and hard about whether to go for one that has a higher CFM (FAD; actual available air) but thought I’d take a punt anyway and I’m glad I did. It fires up easily and quickly and has plenty of power. I intend to use it with a nail gun. It’s lightweight too.

    The only negative is that it doesn’t have a pressure regulator but these are easily sourced although I’m having a hard time finding the correct union.

    Don’t hesitate, just buy it and you will not regret it.

    Was reluctant at first to purchase this air compressor as I wasn’t sure whether it would be refilling all the time when used at a non professional level in the home for finish and trim projects with various nail guns. With my finish and brad air nailers it refills remarkably infrequently (@70 psi) and with my Bostitch coil framing nailer as you would expect a bit more frequently (@90 psi). My old 150 psi air compressor was so loud it would traumatize our cat every time it kicked in to refill, with this compressor it is just pure joy on his ears (and mine). If you want this for non professional advanced home DIY use with various air nailers/staplers, even with the stupidly short power cord I would not hesitate to recommend it, this is the compressor unicorn you have been looking for.

    Hyundai air compresso
    Very quiet powerful little machine. Ideal for nail gun, blowing dust of workshop machinery and small hobby spray jobs. Also works well blowing car tyres up. Not as noisy as a tumble drier, fills up and cuts off very fast. Portable and fairly light to carry. Great for a small garage workshop or to take onsite. Low vibration and sits on the end of my work bench perfectly. Maintenance free. Lovely little addition to my collection. Highly recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWhy did I wait so long?
    After struggling along with cheap compressors, which either didn’t have sufficient “Oomph” or were way too noisy, I finally decided to buy a proper compressor. As I drive a Hyundai electric car I chose this compressor, not really out of brand loyalty
    but mainly due to the excellent reviews and very good price.
    It arrived quickly and was set up immediately (this entails screwing in the air filter and plugging it in!) I was pleasantly surprised when it actually fit in the space below my desk and just how quiet it is, especially compared to my last ‘budget German supermarket’ one.
    I can now airbrush away all hours of day and night in my living room, without any complaint from my long suffering wife. (If she’s happy then everyone’s happy! )
    For just a few pounds more than a cheap little, frustratingly poor quality, compressor this Hyundai is head and shoulders into a new level and is capable of so much more than I will ever use it for.
    Happy Hyundai customer yet again…..

    Quality construction, powerful, quiet, good value!
    There are a lot of options for compressors of this size and type but I am pleased with the choice I made. It’s powerful for a compact machine and fits neatly under my workbench. As it has two cylinders, this compressor halves the workload of alternative single cylinder models I’ve used and is subsequently much quieter whilst managing to produce consistent air pressure.

    I use mine mainly for airbrush painting and it’s more than capable. I suspect it will easily drive much harder working tools than this without issues. Operating it is simple with well presented controls and easy to read gauge. The large air tank also eases the workload on the cylinders further reducing any noise as it isn’t running constantly to feed your air tools.

    It’s clear this compressor is well made, feels like good quality and definitely does what I wanted it to do and more.

    To me this represents really good value from a well known brand, it arrived quickly, very well packaged and without issues.

    I’d happily recommend this machine especially for use inside, where portability, power and quiet operation is important. A good buy!

    Works fine but the On/Off switch is almost impossibly stiff to use
    The compressor arrived with a badly bent air filter. Pliers were applied to bend it in approximately back in to shape and it was pushed back in position.

    It seems to work fine and isn’t that noisy when building up pressure in the air tank, but its not silent.

    The main flaw is the red On/Off button on top … it’s a push/pull switch…pull up for On…. when pulling up on the switch the whole compressor lifts off the ground! ….and yet it still doesn’t switch On….I have to hold the compressor down with my foot while pulling up on the switch…. incredible how this could have passed design review.

    Cheapest on the market, 111 quid happy days, brought for maintenance on my car and electrical equipment, great for small jobs, compact and mobile and silent “ish”, only thing I can say against it is if you wanting long bursts of air look for a bigger model, this drains quickly and the compressor cannot keep up with the drain, but saying that again it is a small mobile compressor thats great for what I need for them small jobs at home.

    Quieter than expected
    Purchased mainly becouse of advertised low noise – it’s really quiet, while compressor is working you can talk without raising voice, it’s so quiet 🙂
    In 1 minute from 0 to full pressure. Motor is getting warm quickly, but should whitstand when used with common sense – probably won’t be good for prolonged continuous use, as motor might overheat but for odd days use should be sufficient.
    Bypassing temperature there’s one more thing which could be annoying: when pressure shitch turning off motor, release valve makes quite specific noise – probably could be fixed with replacing whole pressure switch to older type which turns off motor like light switch.
    Weight is ok with me, quite small, and fits nicely in places, where metal jerry can can fit.

    Good value for money, and ultra low noise
    Had few Drapper and other Oil/Oil free 8L small compressors over the years, they were very loud compared to this.
    95db to 65db, whisper quiet that is what I like about this one. only thing missing compared to the others are the pressure adjustment ( where you can set a desired output pressure , not all 7bars coming out when in use) and the length of the power lead. which I had to change. It is still early days but if it last it will be a good choice.

    I bought it for airbrushing as the old one was getting tired.
    As I bought this as an airbrush compressor it was a bit over the top but I need to future proof myself as I am coming up to retirement and have geared up to a new hobby making plastic model aircraft kits.
    This compressor is above and beyond my expectations the power is very good compared to my old airbrush compressor which is half the size and to replace that it wouldn’t be a little cheaper than to buy this one but only half as good.
    For airbrushing you will need to but a few extras…
    1.A Regulator/water trap.
    2. Some adapters
    3.PTFE tape
    4.An extra bit of strong hoze from compressor to Regulator/water trap unless like me you just put it on direct.
    It’s very quiet for it’s type (the smaller ones specifically for airbrushing by other manufacturers are a tad quieter but lack in power) but for what it is it’s very quiet and less noisy than a hairdryer.
    The price is not much more expensive than the compressors that are made specifically for airbrushing and in some cases a lot cheaper.
    If using in the home make sure the is space for it as it is quite big, it’s designed more for the garage
    It’s vibration can be felt through a wooden floor but is not that bad really because it only takes about 20 seconds to top up when the air depletes.
    I usually use it during the night and for airbrushing small models a tank will last me all night so I just switch it off until the next day

    There is an added bonus, is that I can fit a tyre pump to it and do all my tyre pressure’s also it will take a large paint spray gun if I wanted to respray my car or motor bike.

    Eventually I end up buying a better product then the first and hit the top with this compressor, the same thing happened with airbrushes I started with cheaper inferior ones and I always end up replacing them with good ones which is false economy.
    I highly recommend this compressor after using it for about a week now.

    Good value for money, and ultra low noise
    Had few Drapper and other Oil/Oil free 8L small compressors over the years, they were very loud compared to this.
    95db to 65db, whisper quiet that is what I like about this one. only thing missing compared to the others are the pressure adjustment ( where you can set a desired output pressure , not all 7bars coming out when in use) and the length of the power lead. which I had to change. It is still early days but if it last it will be a good choice.

    I bought it for airbrushing as the old one was getting tired.
    As I bought this as an airbrush compressor it was a bit over the top but I need to future proof myself as I am coming up to retirement and have geared up to a new hobby making plastic model aircraft kits.
    This compressor is above and beyond my expectations the power is very good compared to my old airbrush compressor which is half the size and to replace that it wouldn’t be a little cheaper than to buy this one but only half as good.
    For airbrushing you will need to but a few extras…
    1.A Regulator/water trap.
    2. Some adapters
    3.PTFE tape
    4.An extra bit of strong hoze from compressor to Regulator/water trap unless like me you just put it on direct.
    It’s very quiet for it’s type (the smaller ones specifically for airbrushing by other manufacturers are a tad quieter but lack in power) but for what it is it’s very quiet and less noisy than a hairdryer.
    The price is not much more expensive than the compressors that are made specifically for airbrushing and in some cases a lot cheaper.
    If using in the home make sure the is space for it as it is quite big, it’s designed more for the garage
    It’s vibration can be felt through a wooden floor but is not that bad really because it only takes about 20 seconds to top up when the air depletes.
    I usually use it during the night and for airbrushing small models a tank will last me all night so I just switch it off until the next day

    There is an added bonus, is that I can fit a tyre pump to it and do all my tyre pressure’s also it will take a large paint spray gun if I wanted to respray my car or motor bike.

    Eventually I end up buying a better product then the first and hit the top with this compressor, the same thing happened with airbrushes I started with cheaper inferior ones and I always end up replacing them with good ones which is false economy.

    A brilliant compressor for my airbrushes
    I use the compressor for airbrushing, and bought the necessary airline adapters separately to suit as it comes as standard with a quick release fitting for air tools and spray guns.
    I already had a smaller compressor that struggles to maintain selected air pressure on larger jobs, causing uneven paint distribution and ‘splattering’. This unit provides continuous even pressure, and does so with a minimal amount of noise

    Useful for small paint spraying projects
    Does what it should . Limited use if you intend to use for large spraying jobs as the PSI drop is quite swift However, it does work well and I can also use for pin nailing once I’ve got a gun.

    Really hard to fault, perhaps a bit heavy to lug about, wheels might have been helpful but that’s a minor fault. I’d buy it again.

    Great compact compresso
    First impressions when opening the box that it’s a really compact little machine – prefect for my cramped workshop.
    When starting it, I was very impressed with how quiet it is. It’s not ‘silent’ (what compressor could be?) but it’s amazingly quiet and so much better than the old reciprocating compressor I currently have.
    I’ll only be using it for nail guns, blowing and possibly some airbrush work – it’s perfect for these tasks but there are larger models if you need to use air tools or for spraying etc.
    All in all, I’m very happy with this little machine and am looking forward to setting it to work (as are my ears!).

    The package arrived next day from Prime and was easy to assemble and much smaller than my last compressor. So far only used it for pumping up car tyres which was successful with air tank refilling very quickly and very quiet too.

    No more jumping out of your skin when the compressor kicks in!
    With my old compressor I used to hate it when it kicked in as i was part way through nailing some wood together – I’d jump and my heart would race, not with this compressor.

    When this compressor kicks in I don’t even have to raise the volume of the music i’m listening to.
    The quiet motor and the thick rubber feet combine to make this compressor the quietest I’ve ever seen (or should that be heard?), my pal has a ‘silent’ SIP compressor that seems a lot nosier than this Hyundai model.

    Not that it happens too often, I mainly use this with my nail gun and the 8 litre tank is plenty for this task and this means the compressor only kicks in occasionally.

    It has a compact design, making this unit is ideal for my workshop where space is at a premium.

    The carry handle is perfectly positioned making this unit easy to move around and seemingly lighter than the stated 15KG

    If you are looking for a quiet compact compressor, that’s easy to move about, with a decent sized tank, I can’t recommend the Hyundai 8 litre compressor enough.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersStupid quiet Truly unbelievable
    Ok where to start, when you turn it on it’s not what I expected!!!! I thought it was going to be a high pitch sound but it was silly quite, it also generates air so quick it easily keeps up with a air spray gun for a car. I have also used it to clean panels before I have sprayed to remove dust before I paint and because it’s oil free double whammy..BOOM o yes

    Also used it on a nail gun and staple gun and it’s yet again a total beast.

    I think the most impressive part is the size, I’ve had a few compressors and they just destroy themselves from the inside out and the noise is so loud that I’ll never go back to a standard compressor again and at 110 I truly don’t think your ever going to get close to the quality that this little beast can do!!!

    Totally recommend 100% and I would say use it with 1000% trust.

    Great little compressor for home workshop use. I would have preferred a longer mains lead but not a problem. It’s not clear what the airline connector is so you may want to check it matches your equipment connectors.

    Hyundai Air compressor model HY55O8
    I like everything about this air compressor.
    Firstly oil free is a big bonus, secondly is the noise is so low, that when using the dust blow gun I can’t even hear the compressor running! Enough power and air supply for my other air tools.
    It’s far much better than my old one requiring oil change, maintenance and super noisy!
    Very pleased with this tool. 😉

    What a total bargai
    I was looking for a small compressor to keep in my work van, this thing is brilliant, very quiet, way quieter than I expected actually. builds up air very quick and is ideal for what i needed, an air supply to blow dust out of motors etc.
    All the reviews I read are spot on accurate. It came with a quick coupling but I swapped over to PCL so I can use my tools on it.
    For 110 this is a total bargain. So if you need a small portable compressor for airbrush work or just blowing dust out of stuff this is right on the money. Nice job Hyundai.

    Very quiet and powerful enough for most users ,thing I liked it cuts out when pressure is reached .
    It arrived with package open and upside down not an encouraging start . Instructions could be better as no diagram , the drain plug on the tank looks like could be difficult to keep removing as suggested in instructions . Need to remember to clear pressure first .
