This compressor is above and beyond and didn't realize that it's a little bit of gold! I've been airbrushing for barely 5 months and boy it's difficult. I blamed the needle, the airbrush, and even blamed the compressor, so I bought a bigger one from a different company, wrongfully thinking the Master Airbrush compressor was to blame. Come to find out it wasn't the compressor that was the problem - I was just too rough with all the little airbrush gun pieces. I love that it turns off on it's own once the tank is full. I tops out at about 40 psi, but I love this compressor and use it almost daily. I cannot say enough good things about it. It's quiet and easy to move around. Just make sure to empty the water after every use. Worth every penny!
