NEW Quiet 1/6 hp MASTER AIRBRUSH TANK COMPRESSOR-(FREE) AIR HOSE and Now a (FREE) How to Airbrush Training Book to Get You Started, Published Exclusively By TCP Global.This review would (hopefully) benefit first-time airbrush users or entry-level compressor users - which I am - who own Badger equipment.I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this compressor, because I know it's a relatively big investment for what I was going to use it for. This review would just contain the pieces of information that I didn't readily find while doing my research.I bought this compressor to use for my Badger 105 airbrush. I already had my airbrush and a Badger 10-feet air hose (50-2011) that I was using with a Badger can propellant. I quickly realized can propellant is not the cheapest way to go, and started looking at compressors.I wanted one with a tank because I felt the added benefits far outweigh the little extra I added in cost. Having a tank-compressor combo (as opposed to just a compressor) means that the compressor would only run for as long as necessary for the tank to be filled with air. The compressor stops once it reaches a factory pre-set pressure level (60 psi), and comes back on again to top-off the tank when it reaches a certain level. This prolongs the life of the compressor because it's not constantly running while I paint. Having a tank also ensures that the air flow coming out of the airbrush is constant, as opposed to pulsating when using just a stand alone compressor. Constant air flow creates a uniform paint finish.Based on my personal purchase experience, this is where I had the most trouble, and hopefully, with this review, I'll be able to help others avoid the same potholes. I have a Badger 105 air brush and a Badger air hose. These are not compatible with the outlet of the regulator where you connect the air hose to the compressor. The Badger 50-2011 air hose I have has a bigger female end (1/4") that wouldn't accept the smaller male end (1/8") of the compressor.You would need to purchase an adapter for the compressor here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VZUKH0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1This adapter connects to the male regulator outlet on the compressor and would allow you to use the Badger 50-2011 air hose with the compressor. Just make sure to use sealant tape to avoid air leaks on the connections.The compressor already comes with an air hose. If you prefer to use the air hose the compressor comes with, you won't need the above-mentioned adapter for the compressor. The air hose directly connects to the outlet on the compressor. It might not, however, connect to your airbrush (again, I'm speaking as a Badger air brush owner). In this case, you will need an adapter to attach to your airbrush in order to use the included air hose.You would need to purchase an adapter for the air brush here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004RM2DIO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1This adapter will allow your Badger air brush to connect to the free air hose that comes with this compressor.Again, this review is specifically for owners of Badger air brushes and air hoses, because that is the limit of my personal experience with this compressor. I can't speak about the compatibility of this compressor with other brands.Lastly, and I'm sure the factory has already done this, but it helps check for leaks as soon as you've set up this compressor out of the box. You don't even have to connect an airbrush to do this - and it actually helps if you don't, because it isolates just the compressor while doing your checks. As soon as you take the compressor out of the box (and after reading the instruction booklet for precautions), pull up on the regulator knob to unlock it, turn it all the way counter-clockwise (if it isn't already), and push the knob back in. This shuts off the outlet and prevents the tank from putting out air. Plug the unit in, turn on the switch, and let it run. It should run for about 1 min to 1 min 30 secs. This process fills up the tank and stops as soon as the air in it reaches 60 psi. When the compressor stops, it tells you two things: the auto-shut-off works, and there are no big air leaks.Now you can check for small air leaks. To do this, and this is very important, turn off the unit, and unplug it from the power outlet. Prepare a solution of dish soap (not a lot) and some water, just enough so you have a nice small amount of soapy foam. Wet your finger with it and rub around the connections around the air tank (regulator and air tank, and motor and air tank). If there is a small leak, these soap bubbles will tell you. Don't soak it in water! - just wet your finger and apply what's in there to the parts. And this is why it is important to have the unit turned off and unplugged. When you've determined that there are no small leaks around the connections, add the hose and air brush and test those for leaks using the same method. Wipe off the soapy solution immediately after determining the absence of leaks.Hopefully, this piece of information helps. I know I probably didn't cover everything there is to know about this compressor, but I hope it covered some of the most essential parts. I am happy with this purchase so far (after resolving the compatibility issue with Badger equipment). It is a less expensive alternative to name-brand compressors with equivalent specifications, and is quiet (comparable to the small window air conditioning units).Happy airbrushing!
