Is this compressor one of those that shuts off when you are not spraying? (I think that would be a good thing)

It does shut off when you stop spraying. Disregard the other comment that indicates that it stays on. It pretty much maintains a fairly consistent PSI that you can set. When you stop spraying, and start, there is a mildly larger burst of PSI than the usual steady flow. Nothing that I would consider a problem though. This thing is worth every penny. I highly recommend it!

The compressor has enough to run it. but ig you use it for any length of time you might run out of air.

Yes, without a compressor this would be just an expensive can. A compressor provides the air pressure to make this a "pressure feed spray gun".Alan

For occasional and light duty work I would say yes. The compressor is very quiet and yet has quick recovery and holds good pressure. I would not agree to professional or prolonged use with a spray gun or any high cfm consumption tools. This handles my nail guns and airs an occasional tire with ease.

I have used this compressor with a finish nailer on a small home improvement project and it worked fine. I would not use for any big projects or with tools that require a lot of air.

The compressor is fully adjustable and works great with everything. You can set it as low or high as you want. You can use everything together and start spraying that day. It is a great little kit.

Nope, nothing. Wouldn't you think it would? Anyway, great little compressor. Just plan a trip or two to the hardware store before you can actually use it.

its called economy. The fan runs slower but I don't recall if the unit actually turns off when the compressor stops.

On my unit the fan will only turn off if the unit shuts down due to a full bucket. Otherwise the compressor cycles on and off depending on what you have the humidity control set at, but the fan runs all the time. Like the service rep told you, the unit won't know what the room humidity is if the fan isn't moving the room's air through the unit.

All I can add is that I used my compressor frequently and have not experienced that problem. Contact the manufacturer.

No compressor required. if you're going go you a sprayer every day you would need a commercial model . i blew up three of these in one year.

Yes it is designed to work that way, when the compressor shuts off it go's to defrost mode, which kicks the fan on high. When defrost is complete it will go back to low and turn back on the compressor. It will do this unless the humidity level is below the set point of the machine in which case it will shut off.

I have done it especially when I'm cooking, but I would recommend turning it off if not using it... It is very handy when cooking and the sprayer is very powerful

I've had this unit for two days and the compressor turns on and off but the fan runs non-stop, despite being at the selected humidity level. The instruction manual says, "When the setting humidity is reached, the unit will shut off automatically. For some models, the fan motor will continue operating."

i keep it in mid level(freezer) and i have not yet hear the compressor kick in and make noise.I read some reviews about this.im not making ice(have not tried)but my water and drinks are very cold so far.So,mine is very low or quiet.

Compressor has worked well so far. Installed summer 2013. I have never heard a quiet one.

Yes. In cooling mode fan runs in fan only mode, when the compressor shuts off.
