Outstanding Quality and Performance
My contractor son-in-law has been using his compressor for a couple years now and I have used it on several occasions. Both on the job site and at home. I was so impressed with “The Tank” that I had to purchase my own. This workhorse will open up space in my garage when I move my antique compressor with 5hp electric motor, dual piston cast iron pump and 80 gallon tank out to the barn. I highly recommend this compressor.

Dynamite comes in small packages!
I’ve used plenty of 6-gallon compressors, but The Tank is in a league of its own. Most pancakes 'gas out' the moment you pick up a framing nailer, but this unit handles it without breaking a sweat. With 200 PSI and 4 CFM, I’ve actually been able to run two nailers at once during a recent home renovation, and it never left us waiting for air. It’s built like a tank (literally), with a solid roll cage that protects the gauges when things get messy on-site. It is a bit louder and heavier than the cheap hobby units, but the performance trade-off is 100% worth it. If you need pro-grade power in a portable size, this is the gold standard.

Portable and heavy duty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heavy duty unit. 200psi gives it a bit of extra run time. Drawback is it is a bit loud.

Great compressor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it in the shop to fill an auxiliary tank for more air volume and on job sites with a framing or flooring nailer. I have never not had enough air.

The Tank better than your craftsman / dewalt
I bought this a few days ago and The Tank is an air compressor and it’s quieter than my old pancake compressor .It’s well built and Japanese made tools last a very long time . Use it to air tires and to use nailers and occasionally run mechanic air tools . It keeps up with the work demand and its known to last . Nice mobile unit.

Air lasts forever!
Professional trim carpenter here: I love the higher PSI this compressor offers because even shooting my 18ga nailer many times, the compressor doesn't kick on often. No one likes listening to a compressor. This one isn't bad to listen to but it does run less and that's worth a lot inside a finished house! I also appreciate the compressor blow off valve when the compressor shuts off to help prevent damage to the gaskets and pistons from back pressure once the tank valve closes

Disappointed
Worked great for a year then was noticeably slower until it actually died. I’ve never owned an air compressor that fully quit before this one. Very disappointing.

Great value for the price
So far this has been a valuable tool. I like the ease of plugging in air hoses and its compact size. I have been running siding nail guns with it and it has been able to keep up. Seems to have more capacity than my other compressors. The low cost was also good.

Nice compressor, but came up a little short.
Very nice unit, but only pressurizes to 190 psi instead of 200.

The right choice
Exactly what I was looking for. Having to put 110 lbs psi in RV tires requires enough capacity to sustain the required pressure. This product does that. You can tell and see that it's well made. No short cuts. Just a great compressor. Not just for typical around the house use. But also more than capable to handle heavy duty needs!

New to Metabo
This is a fantastic air compressor. I had a Bostich for years. Now I know that I was missing out. This Metabo Tank 6 is so very quiet in comparison and runs smooth. Very quick to build up tank and pressure stays consistant.

Great purchase
This compressor does everything for me and more if need be with a second nailer, no problem keeping up with my Bostitch stick nailer for framing and I’m confident that the next roof I shingle with 2 nailers won’t be an. I’m kinda curious about other reviews regarding noise levels, I found it to be a non issue. Overall I’m happy with this purchase and would highly recommend, thank you

Metabo compressor
The compressor worked flawlesly although on the 3rd day of using it the red control knob on the front that controls the oressure broke and I had to use a pair of vicegrips to control the air pressure going to the nailer. Otherwise the compressor worked fine keeping the pressure where it was set at.
