GMC Power Equipment GMC SYCLONE 4610 Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free Air Compressor

 (3 customer reviews)

As of 7/17/10, I will have purchased and used this compressor to install a rooms worth of baseboard, toe molding and window trim, so I cannot speak to the longevity of it, but it is rated for 3000 hours.

I had never heard of GMC Power Equipment, but while visiting a local hardware store someone was purchasing this model. When the clerk fired it up, I could not believe how quiet it was, so I walked over to find out what kind of compressor the gentleman was buying.

When I arrived home, I checked the 'net for reviews, but could not find any. I did find out that GMC Power Equipment made an aluminum tanked version, which made the compressor even more tempting.

just got this, out of the box it started leaking at the connecting outlet. when i looked at it, it looks like the metal is really cheaply made, not solid steel but some kind of alloy. did some research and this product and california air seem to be exacly the same, not sure if it is a bad gmc or ca air product. anyway i needed a quiet air compressor for some night time work, but i dont think this will work for me (unfortunatly there are not many that are this quiet). If it was better built i think this product would sell like hotcakes.i have a dewalt that is suppose to be quiet, and this thing is way better. it humms, you can talk right next to it and it be fine. i think there will be a huge market for this, as tools get cheaper and more DIY out there, people that lives in apartment and closed quarter housing would definitely need this.
This was the first time i dealth with Wayfair, and they are really good. i emailed them the problem and the money is back before i even send them...Read more

Use to power Gentleman Door Opener so compressor is in the house. Hardly notice. Like oil free and quick response.
Avalability of aluminum tanks great if move around a lot! As mine is stationary, used steel tanks.
Everyone who has seen this is amazed.
