Review

It is not a surprise that when you talk about air compressors, a one-gallon machine will not do the important stuff. But that never means that one-gallon air compressors have no utility at all. You just have to know where to utilize it.

Speaking of which, we come to the product itself: RYOBI 18V ONE + 1 GALLON air compressor. It is super helpful when you use it for smaller projects ( for example, a woodworking plan or even a tire leakage treatment). However, no product comes without cons or disadvantages. Hence, let us look at the product in a detailed manner.

RYOBI 18V ONE+ 1 GALLON AIR COMPRESSOR: An overview

In the world of air compressors, one of the most trusted names is Ryobi. They do not compromise with the quality of the product.

This brings us to the 18V one-gallon air compressor model. Customers have claimed this model to be perfect for roadside tire inflation or with pneumatic finish nailers.

The machine comes with a 1-gallon tank that can deliver 120 PSI at a maximum level. The manufacturers have claimed that it can inflate a car tire in 80 seconds at the rate of 0 to 35 PSI.

Several other features will fascinate you. Let us see what they are.

Build quality:

Since Ryobi is one of the most reputed companies for air compressors, the manufacturers do not compromise with the product. The 1-gallon air compressor knows well how to impress with its build quality. The body of the device is made of plastic and metal.

The insulator plastic is a heat withstanding material. And the other parts are made with rugged metal that is hard enough to support your purposes. Therefore, this air compressor gets five stars when it comes to the build quality.

Battery backup:

The Ryobi 18V air compressor comes with a battery backup system. Actually, the machine is powered by the battery only. Ryobi machines are equipped with supreme quality batteries. For example, this specific model comes with a 4.0Ah (P108) Li-ion battery. This battery is quite robust to adhere to the required power. So no worries during long working hours.

Power delivery:

This model, namely, 18-Volt ONE+ Cordless 1 Gallon Portable Air Compressor, comes with satisfactory power delivery. However, it is important for you to understand that a 1-gallon tank will not deliver power for breaking lug nuts or loosening 16 penny nails.

But the manufacturers have claimed this machine to be satisfactory enough for smaller works. For example, you may use these for power delivery of 120 PSI at a maximum level. Any more requirements than that will not be fulfilled, though!

Push t connect:

An additional feature of this machine is the push t connect. It comes with a quick coupler. It makes the operation more accessible than ever and helps you to have a better experience with your device.

Exceptionally few air compressors are equipped with the t connect. But well, Ryobi is a brand that keeps your comfort on top of the priority list. Hence, you may consider it.

Locking regulator:

The machine comes with a professional locking regulator as well. This regulator is super applicable when it comes to the controlling part. The professional locking regulator can control the pressure well.

Some of the air compressors do not have the regulator to control the pressure. However, this specific model does not have this issue. The regulator is quite efficient at taking the pressure to the required PSI.

Quiet operation:

Air compressors, for that matter, make some amount of noise for sure. However, this one can reach a noise meter of up to 78 decibels. That much is natural and more or less quiet for an air compressor. So your ears are relieved, and you are welcome to enjoy your experience with this machine.

Pros:

• Durable build quality
• Rigid material (supreme quality plastic and metal)
• 4.0Ah (P108) Li-ion battery
• 1-gallon capacity
• 18 volts
• satisfactory power delivery
• 120 PSI on a maximum level

FAQ:

How long do portable air compressors last?

• Generally, air compressors are long-running machines. An average calculation says that if you use a rotary compressor, it will provide you with an operation of 40000 to 60000 hours. That means you can expect a standard function for about 20 to 30 years from a portable air compressor. And on the note of significant usage, the machine can provide you with an operation for 15 to 20 years.

How do I choose an air compressor?

• While picking an air compressor, consider the apparatuses you need it to drive. Now you need to calculate which compressor needs the highest CFM at the highest PSI. Add half to the necessary CFM for an edge of security, and search for a blower that meets the prerequisite.

What size air compressor do I need for sandblasting?

• Sandblasting is quite a considerable task. Hence, it is essential to choose the appropriate compressor to chase the pursuit. Now, sandblasting projects need a CFM of 10 to 20 for a fruitful result. Hence, choose machines having a little higher CFM.
