The air the workshop runs on · review
Sixty-nine decibels — quiet enough to hold a conversation next to, which no other compressor here is.
Where we come out Buy it for the decibels; the air figures are not published, so compare carefully.
On a machine that runs in the same room as you, 69 dB is a feature worth more than another 50 l/min. It is also the reason silent compressors exist at all — the pump is deliberately slowed and boxed.
Tank size and air delivery. Both are absent from the listing, which is a real gap when the machine costs the same as the twin-cylinder Scheppach above. Buy this if noise is the deciding factor; otherwise compare on figures that exist.
Every figure above comes from the manufacturer’s published specification for this reference. Fields the listing does not publish are left out rather than estimated. Market availability was verified per market on the EAN.

A great deal. An ordinary workshop compressor runs at 90 dB or more, which is painful at close range and audible through walls; the decibel scale is logarithmic, so 69 dB is not « a bit quieter » but a fraction of the sound energy. In practice it is the difference between stopping conversation and being ignored.
Because most of the noise comes from pump speed. Silent machines use a slower-turning pump, often with a larger displacement to compensate, and enclose it. The result is the same air over a longer time — so a quiet compressor takes longer to fill its tank, which matters only if you are waiting for it.

80 gal ASME · 5 HP 230 V · 18.4/17.2/16.4 CFM at 40/90/175 PSI · 15,000 h
A two-stage commercial compressor that publishes its delivery at three pressures — which is exactly what this hub’s buying tip asks for and almost nothing on the market does.
Best for: A workshop running a plasma cutter, a blast cabinet or air tools continuously, with a 230 V single-phase supply
≈ $3470
6 gal · 1.0 HP · 150 PSI max · 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI · 30.8 lb
A six-gallon pancake that publishes what the hub asks for — 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI — and its own weight at 30.8 lb.
Best for: Nail guns, tires and intermittent air work in a garage, where portability matters more than volume
≈ $160
2 gal · 1/3 HP · 125 PSI max · 10-piece accessory kit · no CFM published
A two-gallon oil-free portable whose listing is a single bullet — the accessory list — with no air delivery figure anywhere on the page.
Best for: Tires, blowing down a workbench and a staple gun — not for any air tool that runs continuously
≈ $140
