Eagle EA 2000 Silent Series Compressor
Wow what a very pleasant surprise this machine is. It works as good as my Pancake compressor and I can everything with the eagle compressor that I could do with the Eagle compressor. The best thing is how quiet the Eagle compressor is when running. I can hardly hear it when it starts up and the motor turns on to generate pressure in the tank. I would give the machine very very high recommendations!!

Nice and Quiet
I keep this in my garage which is just off my kitchen. When I used my old compressor it would reverberate into the house and be very annoying. This compressor can't even be heard in the house when it is running. Needless to say , my wife is also pleased.

Still surprised!
I knew it was going be quiet...it still surprised me how quiet it is. Good quality. It’s perfect for my small nailers, staplers and RV tires. That’s just for starters!

Very nice compressor
I like the two knobs used to hold the wound power cable. VERY quiet. The knob that adjusts air pressure has little effect. The valve that drains condensed water is conveniently located and well designed.

Perfect for light use!
Perfect first compressor! Small, VERY quiet, great features. Luv the adjustable outlet pressure and the quick connect. Perfect for car/bike tires and an air gun. Solid construction. Possibly a small pin nailer. (Get a bigger EAGLE for air tools.)
I may add a power switch to the front panel (and maybe extend the tank drain to the front). Really happy with this unit. (3rd Eagle compressor in family.) It's SO quiet!

EA-2000 Compressor review
I was pleasantly surprised when I plugged the compressor in and heard it operate. The noise was totally subdued and almost pleasant to the ear. Thanks for an excellent product that operates as advertised.

What is the duty cycle on this compressor?
BEST ANSWER: A duty cycle is specified as ratio of time running, typically as a percentage. It specifies how much the manufacturer recommends a unit can be on for in any given period typically one hour. So for example 50% duty cycle means the unit can run for 30 minutes out of every 60 minute period without experiencing premature wear.

Will this compressor run finishing nailers?
BEST ANSWER: I use it with 18 gauge and 23 gauge nailers. Larger nailers with rapid use would probably tax it's limited volume...

How fast is the recovery?
BEST ANSWER: Recovery time is a little hard to answer because it depends on the conditions and tool you are using. I bought this compressor to use mainly in my woodworking shop and in the house. I use it primarily for nail and staple guns and for their use it works very well because only momentary bursts of air are required and you can keep working even if the compressor is running to build back up to it's maximum pressure. High CFM rated tools, like a 1/2 inch impact would not work well with this compressor. You could use it to air up tires but may have to wait a couple times for it to build back up. For my use I really like it; it's small, very portable, very quiet and well designed.

I bought the compressor about 5 months ago and am pleased with the performance so far. However, although still not outrageously loud, it did suddenly get much louder. I contacted the distributor (Rockler gave me the contact number) and they said to blow out the muffler. I did his with no change. Has anyone else had this experience?
BEST ANSWER: I also noticed my compressor got a little louder but it is still much quieter than my old compressor. I use my Eagle compressor at least once a week.

What is the mfg. warranty on this compressor?
can the eagle-2000 drive an upholstery staple gun ?
BEST ANSWER: I'm quite sure it will have no trouble doing it. I have driven 1½" long brads easily. This is a great product and it is quieter than a small cordless drill when running.

Is the hose included or must be purchased separately? If so, is there a specific one that's needed or are they universal (can I use the hose from my old compressor)?
BEST ANSWER: No hose was included. A hose is a hose, so it doesn't matter--any air hose. However, whatever hose you do use must have a quick disconnect type connector that matches the female end of the one supplied on the compressor. You can see it in the photo, just to the right of the pressure control knob on the control panel. BTW, I really like this quiet little unit.

What is the noise decibel level measurement when running? (You can use the iPhone Decibel meter app called "Decibel Meter Pro" to measure. It is a free download.) For example, 50 = Quiet office, Rain, Quiet Conversation), 85 = Vacuum Cleaner, Snow Blower.
BEST ANSWER: I had a dehumidifier sunning at the time (44 dB), so my numbers are probably not too accurate, but I got 65 dB at 5 feet and 60 dB and 10 feet. I think their 44 dB number is a bit optimistic, but it is still much better than a regular compressor.

Over the years, I've had several pet dogs that fear-react to compressor noise, to the extent they bolt out of the house and run away. Can anyone who's had similar experiences and has switched to this compressor tell me if the sound level is quiet enough to avoid such a fear reaction?
BEST ANSWER: This thing is louder than your refrigerator compressor (but just) and much quieter than a small window air conditioner. I can’t imagine your pup being frightened by it. Moreover, due to its small capacity it will cycle often enough where your animal will get used to it. I love mine for smaller jobs and remodeling projects. You will have to tighten down a fastener now and then as they will rattle free, but no big deal. Thinking of adding some lock washers to a couple of areas that shake loose more often. I’m really happy with mine. Good luck.

If I am using this compressor with an 18 gauge nailer does the compressor stay on during the job or does it hold a decent amount of air to do many nails before it kicks in again and of course when it does kick in again, how long does It take before it’s full and shuts down - Can anyone give me an approximation of how many nails at 18 gauge could I shoot before the compressor turns on again?
BEST ANSWER: I don’t have an exact number but I had no issues using it to install quarter round. I’ve used both an 18 gauge and 23 gauge successfully. Hope this helps.

I'm looking at the specs for this, and I can't see how this wouldn't make a good compressor for an airbrush. It seems quieter than some of the airbrush specific compressors I've looked at. The tank is a bit larger than the others. With a moisture trap set up in the line, I can't see how this would make a nice compressor for an airbrush, any thoughts Or considerations I may be missing?
BEST ANSWER: I'm sure this would work perfect for an air brush. All I know for sure it can't sustain a large amount of air for a long time. Using it to pump up tires or pool toys will take a long time. Good luck, I would buy it for an air brush system.

I suppose I could manifold an additional 2 gallon receiver to this unit, to get more longevity at the tool (nailer), but the downside would be longer recovery time and greater strain on the pump. Am I right? Or is it a reasonable trade-off?
BEST ANSWER: The greater strain on a compressor is from more frequent starts. So adding additional tank capacity will not only give you a longer recovery time but will lengthen the life of the compressor. The only downside would be a larger setup (less portability) if you have the additional tank mounted as a permanent part of this compressor.

I bought a new 1/4" quick connector set and hose for this compressor. Why won't the 1/4" male fit the quick disconnect on this unit? What size is it. Can't find size in the manuals.
BEST ANSWER: It’s a standard 1/4 coupler but there are “industrial” and “automotive” type couplers. Check which one you bought, and use the other. I can’t tell you which one I’m using since it was just in a parts box, but the other type didn’t fit.
