10 Reviews: Best 2 Stage Air Compressors (Apr 2024)

The two large wheels on the base make moving the compressor a breeze. In terms of airflow, it can provide six CFM at 40 PSI, five CFM at 90 PSI, and a maximum of 150 PSI with a 20-gallon air tank. It has a working sound level of 68 decibels, which is 80 percent lower than other comparable compressors. It is notable for its quiet operation. The 1.8 horsepower motor can fill the air tank from empty to full in 70 seconds.

I love using air when I detail cars. Pair this machine with a tornado and you can blast pet hair and other dirt right out of the upholstery. The machine handles the tornado very nicely, recovers fairly quick and holds pressure nicely.

The air tank on this horizontal compressor holds 20 gallons. The engine, which is attached to the tank’s top, compresses air in two stages. Compared to other 20-gallon compressors, it has a 53 percent higher PSI rating. Larger tools can be operated with ease thanks to the constant flow of 6.2 SCFM at 90 PSI. The volume is set at 78 dB. Plus, a high-flow regulator and coupler are included for maximum power and pressure.

Very quiet.

This large two-stage compressor is mounted on top of a 20-gallon air tank. It features a simple control panel with large gauges that’s easy to see and use. The 1.5 horsepower oil-free motor is significantly quieter than other similar-sized compressors because of its oil-free design. It has a decibel rating of 70. Because it is oil-free, you can start it even when it is chilly and operate it on sloping terrain with ease.

It is true to it's advertisement. It is truly less noisy than any other compressor I own or owned.

The motor on top of the 80-gallon air tank powers this vertical air compressor. A start/stop switch is included for convenience. The motor is 7.5 horsepower and 208-230 volts with single-phase electricity. When running at 100 pounds per square inch, it produces 25.3 cubic feet per minute. For better efficiency and longer service life, a two-stage hybrid pump is developed. Additionally, the valves have 3/4-inch outputs and are made of stainless steel. 

Quick ship. Box tops were sliced open upon reciept, but no missing parts or damage.

For commercial use, Campbell Hausfeld Commercial air compressors are up to the task. More than 15,000 hours of pump operation can be expected from the B-10 bearing. The pressure switch’s automatic stop/start function ensures that air pressure is always sufficient to satisfy demand. You will appreciate the excellent 3-year factory guarantee on the tank and pump, and the 1-year warranty on all other components, which protects your investment.

Campbell Hausfeld Commercial produces air compressors that meet the demands of professional use, like this unit developed with tire and auto repair shops in mind. [...]

This Ingersoll Rand 2-stage compressor excels in both efficiency and builds quality. An intercooler that lowers the compressed air temperature and lessens condensation is one of these high-efficiency components, as are stainless steel valves and sound-attenuating intake air filters. The max PSI is 175 with 16.8 CFM rated at 90 PSI. To make it even better, all IR devices are rigorously tested before shipping.

I finally got it hooked up I was amazed how quickly tank filled up very quiet operation more than I need for my 3 bay shop

Industrial Air has a flow rate of 17 cubic feet per minute with a maximum pressure of 175 PSI. Thanks to its patented pump and piston design, the pump will last longer, operate cooler, and have better compression efficiency. The patented asymmetrical cooling fins and the patented cast iron flywheel improve the durability of cooler compressors. Even the belt guard contributes to the cooling process. It’s up to 60% more efficient than other designs.

Using this compressor to back up our current HVAC compressor and for running shop tools, thus far fits our use perfectly.

Let’s move to this Ingersoll Rand 2-stage compressor that excels in both efficiency and durable construction. With the new intercooler, compressed air runs cooler and dries out faster, extending the life of the device. When combined with oversized bearings and a belt wheel, high-efficiency valves, and intake air filters provide 100 percent of the duty cycle airpower when and where it’s needed most.

We replaced two single stage 60 gallon units with this unit and it does an AWESOME job. We have a fleet of over 340 Power Units and over 1000 Trailers and the unit keeps up effortlessly. Thanks AWESOME PRODUCT

With this 10 HP engine, you can power larger areas with single-phase power. Tank draining is quick and easy with the horizontal 120-gallon tank’s automatic tank drain. Low RPM, a 50,000-hour B-10 bearing, and solid steel, heavy gauge connecting rods all contribute to excellent performance and long-term reliability. Because of its lower operating temperatures and longer pump life, Industrial Air’s Cool-Tek air stream technology becomes our favorite pick.

We haven't had any mfg. issues with this compressor & we've combed thru the machine for leaks loosefasteners, etc. in the end we put a compressor controller to manage fan control, unloader valve, & condensate drainage. End result the compressor has so much output it builds few psi in the tank before the controller even closes the unloader valve!!! That's a brute of a compressor & we like it

The two-stage compressor from Quincy, a brand you can trust, lives up to the Quincy reputation for quality and dependability. Pumps with a 50,000-hour life expectancy, this unit uses heavy-duty components and a huge oil reserve. The high-efficiency finned intercooler lowers the air temperature, resulting in increased performance. By registering your purchase with Quincy and adding their maintenance package to your purchase, you can both safeguard your investment and extend the factory warranty.

We need a compressor that would help do a big job and so we ordered this monster of a machine and it has not disappointed at all. Best running machine we have ever ordered!
