Product Description
Portable oil-less air compressors are great for powering pneumatic air tools around the job site and indoors. But they have a reputation for being excessively noisy and tough to tolerate; especially when using them indoors and for long periods of time. The noise makes it hard to talk or even listen to music without powering down the compressor. With the JC10 Single Stage Air Compressor, Rolair offers all the power and portability of traditional oil-less compressors in a product that's no louder than a normal speaking voice. At only 60 dB, the JC10 is one of quietest compressors on the market and can be used indoors all day long without the overpowering noise levels usually associated with oil-less compressors, and with 2.35cfm @ 90psi, it's perfect for all types of trim and finish work. It's lightweight and compact enough to carry to and around the job site easily, and the integrated roll cage helps protect vital components from damage. If you've ever been overpowered by the noise of your portable compressor, give a listen to the Rolair JC10 Single Stage Air Compressor and we're sure it will be music to your ears.

Great small air compressor
By Dakota
This is a great small compressor for interior trim work. Exceptionally quiet. So quiet if you are working in a house with a radio on and the compressor is in a different room you won't hear it. This compressor is slightly different than other small compressor I have used. It has a 1Hp motor and plenty of power. It has a high volume direct drive pump,producing about 2CFM @ 90psi ( sorry I do not have the exact specs). One motor and 2 compressor heads. It weighs about 38 pounds, light enough to carry easily, but slightly heaver than some of the other small airless compressors on the market. Rolair compressors have always been a top of the line unit, you can see they used top quality components, but you can see the bare bones approach to the design to keep the cost down. So many of the other compressors on the market use inferior components to keep the cost down, and it shows in the operation.It has a typical cartridge air filter, very good quality gage's that really work, A high quality type M universal hose coupler, and good quality materials, and components throughout. It obviously is not a continuous run compressor, like most oil less units, but I was not able to find a duty cycle for this unit. It still has plenty of air to run 2 trim guns, or to do other small jobs. My complaints are minor. The hand grip could be improved, it would be just as easy to carry this with out any grip on it. The anti vibration feet on my unit were not installed square to the frame, so it dose not sit as well as it should. The electric cord has no place to wind up, if it had a cord snap on the plug at least you could wrap it around the frame and snap it to itself. I would also like to see 2 hose connectors in stead of one. All in all this is a top quality, provisional grade, compressor at a very reasonable price.

By Kenneth R. McColly
Excellent small compressor. More quiet than any other I have seen; usable in an occupied room with few complaints. Very rapid recovery rate, and very little vibration.

By Mid-fi guy
The other reviewers were spot on, thanks folks!I was worried this might be a bit overhyped, but holy moly! This thing is quiet! It came on with a purr, aired up in less than a minute and I sunk a good 10 or so finish nails before it cycled on again. It refills in about 8-10 seconds. Very consistent. Wonderful.My last portable compressor was one of the cheaper pancakes. It did the job, sort of, but I hated that thing! Loud doesn't begin to describe that banshee! Imagine someone shaking a coffee can half full of bolts in your ear for 10 minutes. I'll make concessions for power, but that thing didn't offer any of that either. For all the noise it made, it couldn't keep up with this Rolair, I'll tell you that. I finally burned it up forcing it to keep up on a roofing job. Went Office Space on it. Good riddance. Worst money I've ever spent on a compressor.This little compressor only cost $50 more than that howler monkey, so this little Rolair is a dream for me. Like complete opposites.Not sure yet how it will stand up, but so far it has kept up with every nailer I use. From the finish nailers down, it keeps up easily. With the larger nailers, like my roofing and framing nailers, it will keep up at a slower pace, but I wouldn't put a continous duty cycle like that on one of these. For small jobs, no problem though, and the lightweight pleasant nature of it makes it a joy to use. It is no heavier than a kettlebell, so I can flip it over a shoulder and walk up a ladder with it. It is squarely framed and sits squat, so it is stable in the back of my truck or I can toss it on a seat for transport. I like to keep him on the seat so I can pet him while I'm driving. He likes that. Just kidding, but seriously, I'm loving this little thing. It's like R2D2.The comments others have made about the viewing angle of the guages I would agree with. It sits so low that viewing the guages takes a tilt to accomplish and when you're swapping guns often that slows you down. I don't care, I'll relocate the guages. I love this little guy.5 stars and a rebel yell from me!
