Air compressor comparison table

This table lists all 34 compressors we cover, quiet-ranked first. Sort by noise to find the quietest, or by CFM at 90 PSI to find the most airflow. A dash means the manufacturer doesn't publish that figure, and we never guess one.

Noise ratings come from manufacturers or retailers and are measured at different distances. See each review for the source. Why dB ratings vary. CFM at max pressure and free-flow figures appear on individual reviews.
