Review: PointZero Airbrush Air Compressor Twin Piston w/Tank 1/3 HP

Purpose of Model

This twin-cylinder airbrush compressor is designed to accommodate all airbrushing needs, from war gaming figures and model tanks to food decorating and body and nail art. All PointZero Airbrush components are manufactured to the highest standards in the same factories across the world that some of the biggest airbrush companies use. These components are then expertly examined and put together in the PointZero factory in Florida. This particular product features an air tank that perfects the issues of excessive pressure pulsations that are often found in tank less compressors which creates a smooth output resulting in a perfect finish. Also, this product is really created with the user in mind, it has managed to combine expert engineering with clever ergonomics, arriving equipped with an easy carry handle as well as rubber feet that will protect the work surface.

What’s in the Box?

Along with the airbrush compressor itself you will also receive a grounded 120 volt power cord and operating manual, as well as the PointZero 30 day money back guarantee.

Features

The features and benefits of this product are extensive, with each component designed to provide precision and ease to the user.

• The precision-forger pistons deliver some seriously impressive horse power without the noise that you would expect from other products. The noise level actually comes in at a tiny 59db.
• Clean dry air is delivered with ease with the help of the sensitive diaphragm regulator with integrated water-trap and pressure gauge.
• The product also comes with dual operating modes. In the primary position, once the pressure reaches 60psi it will cycle off until the pressure lowers to 40psi and then the unit will restart. In the secondary position the compressor will run constantly and the maximum output is 100psi.
• The power saving features prevents the motor from wearing but still provides enough pressure to operate most airbrushes.
• The air tank holds a massive 1 gallon of air which reduces the number of run cycles needed.
• The tank also comes with a threaded drain plug plus a pressure release valve. This allows the user to get rid of any accumulated water safely and easily.
• Because of the oil less design, this compressor really is suitable for all airbrushing applications.
• The product is also Maintenance free, CE certified and thermally protected.

Customer Reviews

“I required a compressor for my aircraft modelling needs. Because of the constant airstream without the horrible pulsating that tank less compressors come with this unit suits my needs perfectly, and I would definitely recommend to any other model building hobbyists.”

“When I purchased this model for makeup and body paint airbrushing I was blown away by how good it was. Makeup airbrushing requires really low pressures and so in the primary position mode the unit only actually came on a handful of times over a good few hours. My only gripe with this product is that it didn’t match my standard size hose, however that problem was easily solved and it is definitely worth it.”

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, this product is the perfect compressor for both beginners and professionals. Purchasing from a small family owned company provides more security that you may get elsewhere. The expert design combines ease with expertise and is suitable for all airbrushing pursuits. The elimination of noise is one of the biggest pros with this product, so you can use it at home without waking the kids. The only real con is that the connection may not be compatible with standard hoses, however this problem can be easily solved.
