The origin of Paasche
Behind the company Paasche you can find a tradition a century old. It was founded back in 1904 by a single man and it grew into a very perspective company. The company is located in Chicago where it currently manufactures and assembles lines of airbrushes and industrial spray paint equipment. Surprise, surprise: Made in USA! It has been committed to providing a superior craftsmanship and high-quality airbrushes, compressors and accessories at the most affordable prices for years.

Paasche DA400R 1/4 HP Compressor with Regulator and Moisture Trap
The Paasche DA400R is a well-designed and powerful 1/6 horsepower airbrush compressor that provides great quality air flow at up to 50 PSI. It has an automatic shut-off which turns the compressor off when the airbrush is not being used. Precisely this is the feature which plays in your advantage and lengthens the life span of the compressor. Automatic shut-off also helps prevent moisture billed up by limiting the run time of the compressor which diminishes heat. This compressor is most suitable for illustration, hobbies, models, T-shirts, auto-graphics, tanning and similar things. And most importantly it comes with a very affordable price for everyone. Similar models are Paasche D3000R 1/8 HP Compressor and Paasche D500SR 1/8 HP Compressor both with regulator and moisture trap.

This is a great little compressor! It works perfectly and it is pleasing in several unexpected ways. It also is quiet, the auto shut off works perfectly with my air brush (also a Paasche), adjusts pressure with no trouble, the pressure is consistent, no sputtering, and there are no unexpected quirks at all. It does get warm, but the regulator quickly takes care of that. And I also need to mention that it has more than sufficient airflow and pressure to get the job done. A completely durable device.
Final conclusion
Keep in mind that there is no perfection. So if you get a compressor that is a bit louder than expected, don’t be angry, just send it back to the store a get a new one.
If you are looking for quality and you don’t want to spend a lot of money, this is the product for you! It is well-designed with low noise level, thermally protected and portable. The powerful and high air flow gives you what you need. Basically you will not go wrong with this purchase.
