The Gaahleri GT-918 is a nice, compact air compressor that operates quietly, yet has enough power for two airbrushes. Two airbrush connections are provided with separate pressure meters for each connection. Pressure adjustments are easy with a push/pull knob that locks in the set pressure. Gaahleri lists the noise level for the compressor at 47 DBA maximum, which compares to a quiet home space and is not objectionable at all when running.

The 1/5 hp compressor operates between 43 and 57 psi. It automatically turns on at 43 psi and turns off when the pressure in the tank reaches 57 psi. An integral one-liter tank provides constant pressure without pulsations, but it will cycle on and off frequently. The compressor is so quiet that the on-off cycling is not objectionable. A 23 Liters Per Minute air flow is produced by the compressor.

The compressor is compact at 5 1/2 in. wide, 8 1/2 in. high, and 10 1/2 in. long. Suction cups are provided on the feet of the compressor, although vibrations are minimal. I have my compressor on a shelf unit, and it does not impact other things on the shelves. A handle is provided on the top of the compressor for easy handling. A 6 ft. airbrush hose is included with the compressor.

This is a nice little compressor and a great value at $129.99. I really appreciate the quietness of the compressor, low vibration, and the automatic on-off cycling. I have been using the compressor for five months so far and it performs reliably!

Thanks to Gaahleri for producing this great little compressor.
