Hi Folks,
I've bought a Silentaire 20A a few months ago, and I might have an issue with it. I'm hoping that one of you own this or a similar model and can help me deciding whether this is normal or not.
I'm not a very experienced airbrusher, but this is my third compressor in a short time due to my quest for finding one that is actually silent enough to be used in an apartment complex built out of paper. During motor operation the 20A is far better than the previous two, or anything else I had heard before. The problem comes when it shuts off, since it does it with a loud, sharp clank. (Turn on is acceptable.)
I had another problem with it too. A couple of times on start it tripped my otherwise perfectly working 20 Amp breaker, and customer care wasn't the most helpful sorting that out. True, that I can not prove 100% that there is something wrong with the unit. For this reason I'm asking you to help me figure out whether the shut off noise is normal or not before I complain again.
I would've already sent it back if not for the size and wight. I was hoping for all my dreams to come true for almost $600, but maybe I have unrealistic expectations.
If you have any experience with Silentaire compressors please let me know.
Thanks.
