Studying Small Air Compressor Reviews Can Help Buyers Wanting To Search Their Best Option

By Tim Morgan


An air compressor is an important tool used in many applications including pneumatic tools (jackhammer, needle gun, nail gun), high pressure air cleaners and filling air tanks (scuba divers, fire fighters, safety equipment). Many manufacturers make small and portable compressors. They make a large number of models, each with their own unique features. Reading small air compressor reviews can help a buyer research these items and more quickly arrive at a purchase decision that best meets his or her needs.

Deciding what compressor to purchase can be quite a difficult decision. Each model is packed with a whole host of capabilities and features providing a unique set of benefits. There are many alternatives and combinations to evaluate. A balanced product review can quickly sum up the positives and negatives of each feature and model and guide a buyer to an informed choice.

Several websites and magazines specialize in reviewing these products. In addition to evaluating the manufacturers, models and product capabilities, a review usually provides guidance on pricing. For each model, the review suggests retailers offering attractive prices. It also discuss new product trends. In short, a review can be a helpful source of reference and information.

A quick example of this last point may be helpful. In technical terms, an air compressor converts power produced by a motor or engine into kinetic energy by compressing air. Air, or any other object, has kinetic energy if it is put into motion, the word kinetic being derived from a Greek word (kinesis) meaning motion. The source of power for the device can be an electric motor, a diesel engine or a gasoline engine.

Each of these power sources (namely, electric, diesel or gasoline)may have different implications and benefits for different users. For instance, there might be important variations in product efficiency, weight, noise and emissions. A product review will identify each point of difference and systematically examine the associated advantages and disadvantages.

As a second example, it is important to note that all compressors divide into one of two types according to the method used to compress air. One type is called positive-displacement the other negative-displacement. Both types are widely available as small, portable compressors.

Positive-displacement units channel air through a one-way valve into a receiving chamber. The air is trapped in that chamber. The chamber is then compressed, compressing the air trapped within it. Negative-displacement units employ a spinning impeller to create centrifugal force. That force causes trapped air to spin and compress as a result. These alternative design modes may be a real point of difference for some users.

Small air compressor reviews can be of real help to consumers. It can save them a lot of time to research different feature, models and makers. Reviews also alert consumers to product capabilities they did not know existed. The reviews may assist a consumer to pick the product that best suits his or her requirements. One minute spent studying a review, either online or in hard-copy, may save that consumer many minutes wandering around in a store, either online or on main street.
