Product Description
Portable oil-less air compressors are great for powering pneumatic air tools around the job site and indoors. But they have a reputation for being excessively noisy and tough to tolerate; especially when using them indoors and for long periods of time. The noise makes it hard to talk or even listen to music without powering down the compressor. With the JC10 Single Stage Air Compressor, Rolair offers all the power and portability of traditional oil-less compressors in a product that's no louder than a normal speaking voice. At only 60 dB, the JC10 is one of quietest compressors on the market and can be used indoors all day long without the overpowering noise levels usually associated with oil-less compressors, and with 2.35cfm @ 90psi, it's perfect for all types of trim and finish work. It's lightweight and compact enough to carry to and around the job site easily, and the integrated roll cage helps protect vital components from damage. If you've ever been overpowered by the noise of your portable compressor, give a listen to the Rolair JC10 Single Stage Air Compressor and we're sure it will be music to your ears.

Unloading valve - drops compressor head pressure to zero after compressor comes up to pressure which allows the compressor to start unloaded. This preserves life of compressor and the motor which comes up to speed faster, with less motor current, heating and torque on windings.
Double isolated with rubber mountings - the frame has rubber feet and the compressor is rubber mounted to the frame as well. This transfers less vibration to floor. On concrete vibration is undetectable. On floor in house, it is more noticeable, but not objectionable.
Muffler/Filter - The compressor is much quieter than others I've been around, even without the muffler/filter. But muffler/filter drops sound level even more.
......
Normal things to check (suggested by manual as well). All compressors vibrate and the manual suggests checking every week for any loose bolts, fittings. After running for a couple of hours, I found a couple of loose nuts on the electrical unloading valve and snugged them up. Doubt that they will losen up again and could also be related to temperature. Went from 70 degrees indoors to about 25 in garage on cold day.
See Update below as well - Rolair taking care of this issue. Manual suggests checking air filter as well. I did this and found a surprise there. This quite inexpensive part is undoubtedly provided by another vendor and it's doubtful that Rolair checks the filters before installing them. Mine had metal shavings from cutting inlet tube. I cleaned them out before starting compressor. I also found that the paper filter was not completely sealing the opening, so if the vibration had broken loose some of the metal shavings, they might have made it to the compressor and ruined it. I let Rolair know about this and I hope they send me an upgraded filter, however, I recommend that anyone who gets one of these check the filter first thing and take care of any problems if you find them. Why didn't I mark the compressor down for the obvious problem with the filter? I'm so happy with the compressor, I'm willing forgive a bad supplier on this cheap part....... may come back and revise this if I don't get a response from Rolair.
Update - Rolair is sending replacement air filter and addressing issue with supplier. If you check your filter and find a similar issue to mine, I suggest that you contact Rolair. Couldn't be happier with compressor. Have finished a couple of projects and look forward to more.
The compressor comes up to full pressure (set for about 100 psi) in 75 seconds and when using a nailer, it recharges the tank in just a few seconds. Takes several finish nails before the compressor restarts to recharge the tank. There is about a 10 psi difference between shutoff and restart. The first 11 seconds with empty tank, the unloading valve is open and the compressor warms up a little before it closes and starts filling the tank (This seems like a good thing, but I don't know if it's "normal" operation, have to do some reading). After the tank is pumped up, the unloading valve closes almost instantaneously after the compressor restarts so there is no delay on recharge.
Passing on something I did that worked out well - I wanted to add a filter before air line and tool. Found that with a quick release, 1/4 inch brass elbow and 2 inch nipple, the dimensions were perfect for pinning the filter ($13 from Home Depot) to the frame - put electrical tape on the frame, zip tie underneath to keep it from tipping down and a second zip tie to hold it to the frame. Since I use it at the bench, I didn't add a quick release for the hose. Cutting one zip tie and releasing the quick release, filter and hose come off for transport. (see picture)
I used to resist jobs that required compressor because I hated to listen to the things. Not any more. Makes working around this one enjoyable as any other task.

I was worried this might be a bit overhyped, but holy moly! This thing is quiet! It came on with a purr, aired up in less than a minute and I sunk a good 10 or so finish nails before it cycled on again. It refills in about 8-10 seconds. Very consistent. Wonderful.
My last portable compressor was one of the cheaper pancakes. It did the job, sort of, but I hated that thing! Loud doesn't begin to describe that banshee! Imagine someone shaking a coffee can half full of bolts in your ear for 10 minutes. I'll make concessions for power, but that thing didn't offer any of that either. For all the noise it made, it couldn't keep up with this Rolair, I'll tell you that. I finally burned it up forcing it to keep up on a roofing job. Went Office Space on it. Good riddance. Worst money I've ever spent on a compressor.
This little compressor only cost $50 more than that howler monkey, so this little Rolair is a dream for me. Like complete opposites.
Not sure yet how it will stand up, but so far it has kept up with every nailer I use. From the finish nailers down, it keeps up easily. With the larger nailers, like my roofing and framing nailers, it will keep up at a slower pace, but I wouldn't put a continous duty cycle like that on one of these. For small jobs, no problem though, and the lightweight pleasant nature of it makes it a joy to use. It is no heavier than a kettlebell, so I can flip it over a shoulder and walk up a ladder with it. It is squarely framed and sits squat, so it is stable in the back of my truck or I can toss it on a seat for transport. I like to keep him on the seat so I can pet him while I'm driving. He likes that. Just kidding, but seriously, I'm loving this little thing. It's like R2D2.
The comments others have made about the viewing angle of the guages I would agree with. It sits so low that viewing the guages takes a tilt to accomplish and when you're swapping guns often that slows you down. I don't care, I'll relocate the guages. I love this little guy.
5 stars and a rebel yell from me!
I've read that the valve at the bottom can be a problem but I so far have experienced no difficulty maintaining pressure in the tank. If the valve does become a problem, a replacement can be purchased for under $10. Beyond that, it cycles quickly and has a very small footprint... Roughly 13 inches wide.
I grant you this hasn't been the most technical review but this area isn't my specialty. I've yet to identify any actual 'cons' but if I absolutely had to nitpick, I guess I wish the gauges were angled slightly upward rather than straight ahead. I've also read some people dislike the regulator but so far I've no reason to complain.
My usage has been limited to running an airbrush between 25 and 50 psi with the upper limit being around 120psi.
