Product Description
With a high air output of 3.6 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at 100 pounds per square inch (PSI), the FC1500HBP2 delivers plenty of pressure for a wide range of applications. The recovery rate is very fast, taking only 18 seconds to reach 100 PSI. Rated at a maximum 145 PSI, the compact and lightweight design makes it a great fit for home, craft, hobby and workshop needs. The FC1500HBP2 also easily handles a framing gun, so it's a good choice for finishing contractors.
The 13.7-amp industrial-grade motor operates at 3,400 RPM, has a low-amp draw and features ball bearings for greater durability. The single-stage pump is well-equipped too, with a cast-iron cylinder, stainless-steel reed valves and the added reliability of splash lubrication to ensure a longer life. A familiar feature on most industrial-grade compressors, splash-lubricated units are outfitted with "flaps" on the bottom of the connecting rods to splash oil around the compressor crankcase. These pumps tend to last a long time, as long as you maintain enough oil in the crankcase.

great compressor
By preston2090
I am a remodeling contractor. I use a compressor a lot. I am very satisfied with this compressor. It is easily moved, not too heavy and has rubber feet so it won't damage floors. It obviously doesn't have a huge tank but its recovery time is VERY quick. It is quieter than an oil free compressor but not as quiet as some of the other oil filled ones I have seen. It runs a trim nailer no problem. I even use it for my framing nailer if I am just doing a couple walls. One more good thing....before I bought this I had a few technical questions. I called ROLAIRE and got a real person on the phone within seconds who was very knowledgeable about their products and compressors in general. He talked to me for several minutes and helped me decide this is the one I needed. I was impressed.

By Danny H.
I purchased this to run my air guns on the job site and to replace air in my tires when they get low. It does both of these very well. It seems to be a very good balance between, weight, reliability and performance. The suction cups actually do work well to keep the unit from vibrating around. And as a bonus I am surprised at how quite it runs compared to my oiless compressor I replaced with this unit. Another reason I went with this brand was because it was the portable brand carried and recommended by my local compressor shop.

Small Rol-Air Compressor
By Don Arthur
Pros: The unit arrived on time per the shipping information in good condition. Well designed unit with motor and compressor integrated within a cowl that directs the fan-driven cooling air. Well-manufactured too. Worked exactly right out of the box, plumbing components good quality and easy to hook up.Cons: Pretty noisy. More so than I expected, based on reading previous reviews. However, I have only owned one other compressor and it was 50 years old when this one replaced it, so my frame of reference on noise is limited.With this size tank, the unit comes on a lot. Also, the total weight of 39 lbs sounded light when I read the description. However, it is a heavier than other portable compressors. It is portable and not bad for moving from one place to the next, but not quite as convenient as I expected. If I had it to do over, I think I would get the next larger size tank to get more capacity at the expense of a couple of lbs. If portability was my main goal, I would look for a smaller, lighter unit.Bottom Line - I am satisfied with the small RolAir. It does what I need it do.
