5.0 out of 5 stars Comparison to popular Porter Cable pancake compressor April 14, 2012

By Matt Ashland

Here are a few measurements comparing this Bostitch to the Porter Cable 6 gallon pancake compressor it's replacing:
Bostitch / Porter Cable
Time to charge: 0:47 (@150 psi) / 2:31 (@135 psi)
Decibels @ 3ft: 90 dB / 92 dB
Weight: 26.8 lbs / 33.8 lbs
Air blower @ 90 psi (time before pressure falls below 90 psi): 9 seconds / 11 seconds
Pressure after 1 minute of air blower: 35 psi / 50 psi
Equilibrium pressure leaving air blower open: 35 psi after 30 seconds / 35 psi after 2 minutes
The Bostitch is faster to charge, quieter, and lighter. Both motors produce about the same amount of compressed air.
The smaller tank on the Bostitch provides slightly less air, but the fast recovery mostly offsets this concern.
The Bostitch earns five stars from me.

Light On Its Feet December 23, 2011

By George Hogue

I really like the ergonomics of this air compressor. The dials are large and easy to read. All of the controls are on the front of the unit. This compressor is very light weight, making it extremely portable. I am amazed at how quiet this compressor is, and the tank fills quickly reducing the run time of the engine.
So far, I've only used this compressor to fill the air in the tires of my SUV, motorcycle, lawnmower and bicycle. No more trips to the gas station - I should have made this purchase a lot sooner. I can say without hesitation that you will be delighted with this air compressor from Bostitch.
