About this product
The MZB 18.5 Gallon Air Compressor is a powerful, portable unit featuring a 3 HP motor and an 81dB noise level. It delivers a flow rate of 5.6 CFM (159 LPM) and uses oil-lubricated components. Housed in a durable steel tank, this compressor is designed for a range of tasks requiring significant air volume and power. Its portability and robust build make it suitable for various workshop and job site applications.
Our take
This MZB compressor with its 18.5-gallon tank and 3 HP motor is clearly geared towards heavier-duty work. The 5.6 CFM flow rate is decent, allowing it to run air tools effectively for extended periods, thanks to the large tank. The 81dB noise level is about what you'd expect from a powerful, oil-lubricated compressor of this size; it's not quiet, but it's within a typical range for a workshop. Being oil-lubricated means it will require periodic maintenance, but often offers better longevity for heavy use. While it's listed as portable, the sheer size of an 18.5-gallon steel tank means it's heavy and more suited for moving around a shop than carrying to different locations frequently.
