The Quiet Air Compressor (EC28M - en-CA) is the first in a Low Noise Series from Metabo HPT that produces just 59dB’s of sound -- so quiet that a normal conversation can be easily heard while the compressor is cycling nearby. It features an industrial oil-free pump for high durability with low maintenance, and a 2.8 Amp direct drive induction motor for longer life. The motor is protected by an overload protection circuit that cuts off power in the case of an overload situation. Extremely compact and weighing just 25.2 lbs, the EC28M has an ergonomically shaped rubber carrying handle to make it easier to transport around any jobsite. The steel roll cage design protects the factory installed universal quick coupler and steel encased industrial gauges. This quiet compressor has zero set up time, and is ready to go straight out of the box.  QUIET: Ultra-quiet operation at only 59 dB's: so quiet that a normal conversation can take place while the compressor is cycling and the compressor sound is barely noticeable OIL-FREE: Quiet industrial oil-free pump provides high durability with no maintenance SAFETY: Motor thermal overload protection stops the motor in a possible overheating situation  QUICK COUPLER: Factory installed industrial quick coupler for easy one handed hose connection FLEXIBLE: Stainless steel braided discharge hose resists corrosion and remains flexible  CONTROL PANEL: Integrated control panel protects the gauges and plumbing while centralizing the controls for simple operation GRIP: Steel roll cage with rubber grip protects all critical components and provides comfort during transport ACCURATE: Industrial regulator and gauges allow for easy and accurate PSI adjustments       DIMENSIONS: 14” L x 14” W x 13.5” H CORD: 6-1/2 feet length
