10 Reviews: Best Airbrush Compressors (Apr 2024)

This compressor differs significantly from the other alternatives discussed in this article. It is a handheld, portable, and handy airbrush that includes a charging cable. This combines the airbrush and the compressor unit into a single unit. As a consequence, it’s a great choice for tiny work like food or ornament airbrush painting. In terms of power, this airbrush compressor charges through USB and takes 30-50 minutes to completely charge.

This thing is perfect for scale models, it works like a regular airbrush but just more portable and without the large compressor and hose. I would recommend you use acrylic paints.

The Zeny Pro offers a lot of features at a low price. With its 1/5-HP motor, the piston compressor can generate up to 95 PSI. It features a 3-liter air tank and a pressure regulator that can pressurize the tank to 57 PSI before turning it down to save power. It’s powerful enough for crafts, cake decorating, and body painting. The Zeny Pro is a small device that measures 12.6 by 6.9 by 15.1 inches and weighs approximately 12 pounds. It features a built-in handle that makes it easy to carry.

Works great with my son’s new Iwata airbrush for shoe customization. It’s not silent but it’s not too loud....thankfully. Seems like a good value. Also relatively compact. All in all fit the bill for the novice airbrush painter in our house.

I'm using it to aerate my hydroponics. It's quiet and packs just enough punch to make happy bubbles. I'll probably get an airtank or buy the larger version as I expand my setup. It's been a long time since I did airbrushing, but I can see how it would work well for that as well.

The professional airbrushing paint system from VivoHome is multi-purpose equipment that comes with three distinct kinds of multi-purpose fluid tips. The paint system includes an airbrush holder that can accommodate two airbrushes. The system can produce 23 to 25 l/min airflow and 0.8cfm air volume when utilizing the 1/5HP air compressor with the air filter water trap. With the three removable spray guns, you can obtain control and varying degrees of spray for a variety of applications.

I have used airbrushes in the past, but it has been a while so I was learning the trade almost all over again. A good variety of different airbrushes and the air pump kept the pressure steady. I use this mainly for miniatures and models with water based acrylics and it works great. Very quiet too which is a plus.

I've been airbrushing for 8 years. I hook up at least 3 and as many as 6 airbrushes at one time to a manifold that I constructed. This machine handles the load. Less noise than my twin tank Hitachi and a heck of a lot easier on my back when lifting and packing it up too.

Master AirbrushCool provides a variety of airbrush compressor options. And the Runner II Dual Fan Air Compressor comes with a variety of accessories and is housed in a small container. It has an air pressure adjustment range of 0-57 PSI. This airbrush compressor also comes with three airbrushes and six main acrylic colors. The 1/5hp single-piston compressor is more than enough for airbrush painting. Furthermore, the company offers a five-year guarantee.

Great airbrush set. Haven't used one since high school, so it was easy to get back into the swing of things. Easy to use , easy cleaning and three different airbrushes , so there is one for everybody at every level, even beginners. Fun set. One complaint though and it's minor, only wish I had more paint.

The D3000R is one of Paasche’s most popular and best-selling devices, thanks to its compact design. This airbrush compressor device has an oil-free 1/5 horsepower piston compressing mechanism. It has a maximum working pressure range of 20-40 PSI, which is enough for any moderate level of Airbrushing need. Moreover, despite its power, this air compressor is extremely light and produces very little noise during operation.

Quiet and works. I'm just starting to learn to airbrush for model building. I like the quietness and compactness. The only thing that rattles is the emergency relief valve. I had to tape the little pull ring to the pin to stop the rattling noise.

While Badger provides devices for almost every level of airbrushing expertise, the TC910 is best regarded as a hobbyist model that can be utilized for certain commercial reasons with particular projects. The motor produces a generous 1/5 HP while also delivering a maximum pressure of 57 psi. This compressor also has the largest air storage tank, at 1 gallon. The box itself has a handle on top, as well as two holsters for the airbrushes.

New to airbrushing, using this to power my Badger airbrushes for priming/painting 3D prints. Easy to use, have left on for days accidentally and it has held its pressure and still going like a champ after heavy use.

Makita’s MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor boasts 4.2 gallons of air volume and a dual stacked-tank construction. The 2.5-horsepower engine generates pressures of up to 130 PSI and 4.2 CFM at 90 PSI. It also features twin hose ports for running two tools at the same time. The built-in roll cage ensures that an unexpected drop or fall from a low height will not leave this compressor dysfunctional.

perfect compressor for home shop - the compressor is super quite / smooth running and works really well for small to med projects and bicycle tires etc. I have not used it for automotive type tools yet - but seems that it would work fine. Very happy with purchase!

An oilless piston-type airbrush compressor inside a metal case, a suitcase-style airbrush compressor is shown here. This model is ideal for use with thin paints in-home or apartment studios (low viscosity). This Airbrush Compressor’s oil-free piston makes it an ideal choice for many users, and the 1/6 HP Induction Motor provides a pressing capability of 1-70 PSI. This compressor also has a ½ gallon capacity, which is adequate for airbrushing.

I freakin love this compressor! It's super quiet and reliable. I myself am a body painter and I use this compressor whenever I'm using airbrush body paint and it has NEVER disappointed me.
