My new compressor

[A_Camera]

I don't know the Bambi, but the other link points to much larger and nosier ones. I mean, mine is only 6 litres and is basically the same, even the looks, as this one from HBM. Mine is really quiet, much less than 70 dBA as you can hear at the 7:26 marker. My microphone is on manual gain, fixed at the same level all the time and I don't need to raise my voice. It is really very quiet, just a low humming sound. It has a 0.7hp (0.55kW) motor, so it is also not the weakest on the market. A friend of mine has a similar but not the same, his is also 6l and "silent" type, but in reality it is so noisy that when it starts we must stop speaking or must raise our voices. So not all "silent" are silent, but there is no real definition of what silent means, I guess that in the world of compressors, even his is silent.

I also don't need larger than 6 litres because I don't intend to use it on power tools, even if it would work for painting and some weaker power tool operations. I only wanted one to blow clean stuff and pumping tires plus the can I use inside my home where I don't have access to the compressor. Anyway, if I'd ever need it for a larger job I'd buy an extra tank.
