Our trained service and support team is ready to assist you if you ever need them and we carry a full line of air compressor replacement parts.One of the Quietest Air Compressors on the Market
A noise-suppression device was first developed, by Polar Air engineers, after feedback from our customers revealed a significant number of complaints, regarding the extreme noise levels of many of our competitors. Engineered and manufactured in the USA, our Whisper Series Quiet Air Compressors reduce stationary compressor DBA ratings by as much as 25%. In an industrial environment, stationary air compressors typically require the added expense of the building or structure to isolate the air compressor and reduce noise in the work environment. The Whisper Series Quiet Air Compressors solves this problem.
The Whisper Series Quiet air Compressors can be installed and operated in any environment, eliminating the need for costly and often inadequate buildings or structures to house the air compressor. Our Whisper Silent Air unit is already installed on the back of the tank, held securely in place with brackets that are fabricated for easy removal and low profile. The Whisper Silent Air Unit dissipates compressor intake noise by channeling the intake air through a series of baffle plates and pre-filters, housed within the silencer cabinet. As a result, the piston intake noise is trapped and dissipated within the silencer structure, significantly reducing noise in the workplace. It also acts as a secondary filtration for cleaner air, which will extend the life of your air compressor.

Our Air Compressor Pump
At the core of our Whisper Series Quiet Air Compressors is our sturdy and reliable air compressor pump by Eaton Compressor. These air compressor pumps are exceptionally quiet in operation and engineered to provide years of reliable service.
Our air compressor pumps are engineered with reliability and durability in mind. The crankcase is solid cast iron, ensuring stable crankshaft alignment and the ability to handle a higher workload even under heavy load conditions. Our compressor pumps also feature a precision balanced solid cast iron crankshaft with Timken-Style stainless steel roller bearings on the front and rear of the crankshaft, ensuring smooth & efficient operation with less drag and reduced energy usage
Our air compressor pumps also feature:
- All steel connecting rods with replaceable rod bearing inserts – this allows the air compressor rods to be rebuilt. While many of our competitors use less reliable aluminum rods, that cannot be rebuilt, the ability to rebuild the rods in our compressor will save you money.
- Removable 100% cast iron cylinders – our solid cast iron cylinders are more stable under extreme workloads and do not warp from heat, ensuring years of reliable service. Many lesser quality competitors use aluminum cylinders with a pressed-in sleeve, that can quickly warp and often need to be replaced within 1-2 years. Our solid cast iron cylinders were designed to provide years of dependable service under extreme conditions.
- All cast iron cylinder heads – cast iron cylinder heads are more durable and dependable for trouble free operation.
- Disc valve design intake and exhaust valves – disc valves have been around for over 100 years and have been proven to provide reliable service under extreme conditions. Our disc valves can be easily removed from the top of the cylinder head, where they can be serviced in minutes, instead of hours, like the reed valves often found in lesser quality air compressors.
- Top quality compression and oil rings – our rings ensure performance with low oil carry over (1-5 PPM).
- Precision ground pistons – machined to tight tolerances ensuring low oil carry over.
- Premium non-absorbent gaskets – prevent oil seepage from the pump.
- All cast iron flywheel with built-in fan – the extra weight of our cast iron flywheel during run cycle gives the pump more “throw” on the compression stroke resulting in fewer loads on the electric motor. Many lesser quality air compressors use aluminum flywheels that do not have the proper weight ratio to give the proper throw, on the compression stroke, when the pump is running.
- Built-in head unloaders – these unloaders are built into the intake valve assembly, on the compressor head, and perform a valuable function by unloading or opening the intake valves under constant run applications. This feature reduces internal pump heat from compression, because the intake valve is held open throughout the unloading cycle, allowing fresh air to come into the cylinder chamber. Under the compression stroke, the unloader holds the intake valve open, allowing the air to blow back out the intake filter. This fresh air absorbs the heat from the pump under heavy workloads.
- Built-in inter-cooler and after-coolers – the inter-cooler allows air to be cooled between stages, while the after-cooler provides a second cooling stage, that further cools the air before it goes into the tank. Our after-cooler also includes an all copper main feed line from the pump into the tank.
In summary, not only do we have one of the highest-quality, most durable air compressor pumps in the industry, we can also boast the lowest RPM air compressor pumps on the market. On the majority of our compressors, we purposefully oversize our pumps, running them at lower RPMs than most manufacturers. Our more powerful, low RPM pump can still yield a high CFM output, because both our bore and stroke are larger. The benefit is that our customers get the big CFM output, while enjoying the lower RPM operation, which reduces friction and heat, extending the life of the air compressor pump.
Name Brand Electric Motor
These units have name brand OPD (open drip motors) on them, all of which carry a five-year warranty. All of our motors are low RPM (1750 rpm), versus the higher RPM motors (3450 RPM) used on many competitive units. 1750 RPM motors run much cooler than 3450 RPM motors, because of the higher torque factor. They also yield low harmonic distortion, provide much higher torque in cold weather starting and requiring less electricity under start up.
Additional Motor Features:
- Large 1-3/8” output shaft
- High quality ball bearings on the front and rear of the motor shaft
- Large starting and running capacitors15 Service Factor load. This means the motor can be pulled 15% over full load for more break horsepower
- Dynamically balanced armature for low vibration levels
Belt Guard
Built with 13 G steel and premium-grade expanded metal, our belt guards are more dependable and reliable than any of our competitors, in addition to providing exceptional safety for our customers. Built in the United States, all of our belt guards are OSHA approved.
Air Tank
All of our air tanks are manufactured in the United States and are ASME code compliant in 50 states, including California.
Controls & Components
Eaton Compressor uses only top-quality, brand-name components on our air compressors, including:
- Top quality pressure switches – including an adjustable screw, which allows you to adjust your pressure higher or lower.
- 100% brass check valves with Teflon seating – All check valves on our compressors are solid brass with a Teflon seating. This reduces tank noise, when the compressor is running, because the Teflon seating is much quieter than other materials and insulates noise when valves are opening and closing, during the compression stage.
- 100% brass ASME safety valves – all safety valves are 100% brass and comply to ASME code. Valves are preset and sealed for correct settings. In the event that your compressor will not turn off, our safety valves open, keeping the compressor from building too high of a pressure level in the tank. This will help to avoid the potential of tank rupture.
- Top quality plumbing fittings – to maintain proper sealing when connected to the tank.
- High quality 100% brass ball valves – used for turning air on and off from the air receiver.
- Extended tank water drain pipe – plumbed out the front of the unit with a ¼” ball valve handle for easy tank draining. This eliminates the hassle of draining the tank with the typical petcock-style drain under the tank.
- Load-less starting – built-in head un-loaders, in the intake valve assembly, unload the pump so it will not start under direct head pressure. This feature prevents damage to the motor during the starting cycle.
Motor Pulley & Belts
We use taper-lock style, 2-groove pulleys, versus single groove. We also use dual, 2-groove, B-Style belts to drive our pumps. This combination is best for a couple of reasons – the dual belts ensure long belt life, and yield low vibration, which makes for smoother, more quiet operation. This is because the dual belts do not have to be as tight as with a single belt setup. The tighter the belts (as with a single belt setup) the more load on the compressor pump, and motor bearings, which decreases the life of both. As well, our taper lock pulleys are much better than a fixed bore pulley with a set screw. A taper lock design will lock the pulley into position, to the motor shaft, allowing it not to loosen or move on the motor shaft.

I just got this unit installed in my home shop and I am glad I bought the whisper quiet version. My space has only one door and the shop acts like a resonating chamber for noise. The air compressor is very quiet. I have no hesitation making a phone call while in the shop. When I am within a foot of the air compressor, I need to talk directly to another person but I do not have to yell. When I run the unit in ‘continuous mode’ with the motor on and the pump essentially not, the noise pattern doesn’t change much which would indicate that most of the noise from the unit is not from the pump.
Initial perceptions on quality are very good. I don’t have a lot of hours on the compressor to validate longevity, but many of the things I found missing on other industrial air compressors are there on this one. I was concerned about the ‘motor’ not being named as to which brand when I bought the unit, but I received a Leeson motor to which I am happy.
Purchase and delivery were as smooth and timely as could be. The compressor is quite impressive flawless powder coat and paint, quality plumbing and then there is the noise level or I should say the lack of noise level.This is the quietest compressor ever,builds air fast and quietly love the machine would recommend it to anyone.
What a great company and product!! Had some problems with the shipping company. The Eaton company stepped in and everything was quickly and professionally resolved. Thanks Megan!
perfect – best buy for the money hands down
Installation was straight forward but I did have a couple of questions. Called and they were answered answered very quickly. Be prepared and line up some help to remove from pallet and move inside, its not a one person job. Happy with purchase and to support an American Company.
So far wired it in and started up with no problem.
Extremely quick and responsive to my questions. Product exceeds my expectations.
Unbeatable service, and this compressor is built to last. Could not be happier with the compressor or the help I received with this compressor.
Its not too often I get excited about something "I have to buy" for the shop, but I gotta tell you, this compressor is the real deal! The whole experience was enjoyable, and I could not be happier. My Sales person, Megan is top notch, as she did everything to inform me about the product. She arranged the whole purchase from start to finish and I could not be happier. The unit looks awesome and with the silencer on it, it is very quite! I have a small shop and I was really concerned with the noise level. I have not had this unit very long, but if it runs as well as it looks and sounds, I will be a very happy Boy! I highly recommend this product as its everything and more than what they say it is! Thanks again for the great service, Richard Gaglio @ Gaglio Construction Services
Simply a great product for the money. Customer service was great.
This air compressor is amazing. The minimal noise makes using an air compressor pleasant unlike most loud annoying ones. Would highly recommend.
Best deal for the money, and wonderful people too! I had been in the market for a compressor for my shop for a while, my mind was pretty much made up on a competitor’s model until a friend of mine sent me a link to a video of one of the quiet compressors running. I did some looking and found out that they were made a couple of hours away from where I live in Ohio. I decided to make a visit to hear one of these quiet compressors in real life and see for myself. When I got to the showroom I told the lady that greeted me what I was interested in and she said someone would be with me shortly. After a bit of a wait Matt came out to greet us and started describing the features of the Polar Air quiet compressors. I asked him if I could hear one run for myself. He said sure and took me through the factory and described the various processes that we walked past and gave a short history of the company. We got to a final prep area in the factory and they were finishing up a 10 hp model and he turned it on, I was sold, It was amazing how quiet that compressor was. Everyone that I met and worked with through the process was great. Megan was helpful in the ordering process and she answered every question I had. Two weeks later when it was time to pick up the compressor that I ordered, the experience was the same, everyone was more than helpful. Thank you to Jeff who loaded the compressor in my truck and helped to strap it down. The purchasing and pick up experience was top notch. Not only did I get a compressor with more standard features than all of the competitor models that I looked at, I got more compressor for the money! and it came from an American company. Thank you!!
Very nice looking and running unit. The only issue I had with hooking it up, was the control box is pretty tight. adding the ground wire to the one to the motor makes it almost impossible to get the screws started back into the backplate for reinstalling the cover. other than that it is a great unit.
Thank You
Entire staff (I talked to a few different staff) is more than helpful. Quick response each time I contacted them and were very helpful in every aspect of each transaction. The compressor is so quite and what a beast. Thanks (especially Jamie) for all your help. I only wish I would have purchased this sooner. Thanks again!!
The Team at the Englewood facility has a Customer Focus they make sure from start to finish the customers needs are understood and met. I started and finished my purchase with Megan who did a Great job. When I had a few questions she wasnt sure on the answer she had me talk with Matt who I believe is her dad. He answered all of my questions and helped me explore all of the solutions that would work for me. I never felt rushed or like I was taking to much of their time, their focus was getting me a solution Ithat met all of my requirements. Ultimately my goal to eliminate China from anything I buy lead me to the industrial 5hp 80 gallon Ploar Blue with Silencer. Its a little more than I need and will definetly out live me but I know when its called upon it will perform. Quality and Customer Focus never stopped from the HILO driver to Jeff who came up when I was strapping it in my trailer and made sure the load was secure. Jeff jumped right in even when I said I’ve got it. I’m glad he did because the unit has a high CG and getting it back Michigan safely was paramount. Thanks to the Team at Eaton my compressor is setup and working well, my next purchase will be the air dryer. Don S. of D and A Development LLC Shelby Township, Mi.
Took delivery of my compressor just over a week ago. Delivered well crated and was in perfect shape upon arrival. Very easy to wire up. With the help of a tractor and a very strong friend, got it installed in my shop. I upgraded in order to have a quieter compressor and to keep my neighbors happy. Must say, it exceeded my expectations. Only issue was the switch. Spoke with the tech today (quick response). Recommended a quick rap to the switch with the end of a rubber handled screwdriver to reseat a needle that got out of adjustment during shipping. As promised, took care of the issue. Looking forward to many years of quiet air!
The compressor fits the needs of my garage perfectly. It is installed adjacent to a wall shared with a bedroom. At worst it sounds like a washing machine on spin cycle from the bedroom, and its unnoticeable in the next room over. Quality so far seems great, and like the continuous run feature for my blasting setup that pulls a lot of air. The staff at Polar Air have also been great to work with, were responsive to all my questions and helped accommodate a very specific delivery timing. Thanks!
Customer service was A1 from the very beginning and all went smoothly. This air compressor is extremely quiet and has plenty of air for my vapor hone. Would 10/10 recommend!!
We purchased 2 compressors at the same time. A five horse single phase with the whisper quiet 80 gallon unit. Which we are using in our home/race shop barn. Our sales rep was incredibly helpful everything shipped much faster than expected. Would suggest this unit to anyone. The specs on these units are incredible and or and are worth the price. Our local dealer came over to give us a quote and looked at the quality of what we were getting from Eaton and said he can’t compete go with them he would! Very happy with this compressor.
We purchased this compressor in October for our first CNC machine and we are very happy with it! We are happy with the added silencer too because our shop is very small. A Youtube channel (NYC CNC) recommended it and we could not be happier with it.
I received my compressor and I have to say the quality of this machine is very impressive. Every single component used is top quality. I wired it up and it really is extremely quiet I am able to stand next to it and have a conversation. Overall very satisfied with my purchase.
When purchasing and picking my product up, customer service was excellent. Had a few compressor issues once installed but Jamie in warranty made fixing the issue effortless and they provided me with all the necessary things to fix my compressor. Has worked great ever since!
Just now getting shop set up. . Compressor looks great! Service seems to be great as well. Very responsive. Look forward to listening to it purr.
Highly recommended
Highest quality compressor I’ve ever had. Love that fact that it’s mostly made hete in the US
I have this compressor in my home shop/barn and am highly impressed. It replaced a much smaller Dewalt that broke and I had to turn in to a “Frankenpressor” to keep it stumbling along. Very loud and low volume of air.
I don’t have those problems any more.
I have had this compressor for a few months now and am very happy with it. I replaced a Dewalt that failed and I had to cobble together a fix to make a “Frankenpressor.” It was loud, and didn’t have much capacity.
I don’t have those problems any more.
I have not been able to use the full capacity of this compressor. I have been able start using my Harbor Freight blasting cabinet. While I am using it, the compressor kicks on, and off, while I am still working.
I am not a “high volume” user, and this compressor may be more than what I need in my home shop, but I am very happy with its performance over the past few months.
(They do offer a “free air tool with review” offer, but as I bought the compressor about four months ago, I am not sure if I am out of the time frame for it, so I leave this review whether I get a free tool or not.)
Love the compressor. Fills the tank quickly and releases the head pressure for the next start.
This thing is a beast. I struggled to get it moved to its final resting place.
The documentation was poor. The manual was for a combination of different compressors and the one I bought wasn’t even represented anywhere.
But the tech support was excellent. I got all of my questions answered thoughtfully and the response time was acceptable.
Highly recommend.
Awesome compressor super quiet and shipped in perfect condition.
Should have bought this compressor years ago. This thing is a beast and could have made work a lot easier not having to wait for the the air to catch back up like I did with my old one. Loving this thing.
Bought this compressor to replace an old compressor that had failed. There was a long lead time when we ordered, but Eaton Compressor got it done ahead of schedule to get us back online. Auto purge and quiet operation are it’s strong features. Eaton Compressor is a Christian based company and a business that I will support. Thank you.
Works well as a central compressor sourcing air for multiple machines in a lab/manufacturing setting. No issues thus far after 6 months of operation
I am a farmer in Willis, Michigan. My old compressor finally gave out after 43 years and was beyond repair. I started my search for a new one that was quiet and same specs. Watched on line videos, read reviews and read forums on AG talk. Came up with your compressor. Was skeptical about how quiet it would be, we hooked it up and very impressed. The silent air impressed all the guys in shop. Every aspect of the purchasing, delivery and our install process went flawlessly
We are so thrilled with the purchase of our Polar Vertical 5HP Compressor!
After installation and thorough checks we started the compressor and could not believe how quiet it ran.
We were able to carry on a normal conversation right there beside the compressor with no problems hearing each other!
Great product guys! Thanks for creating an absolute awesome machine!

4 years ago a friend of mine purchased a Polar Air Compressor. He has always told me it was an excellent compressor. Fast forward to February 2024 and my old compressor finally failed. I was skeptical of how quiet the compressors are on the videos I viewed, but my friend told me I wouldn’t be disappointed. He was right. It is night and day how much quieter this compressor is compared to my old one. I used to not be able to talk to anyone in my barn when the compressor started, and that was on opposite sides of the barn. Now unfortunately I can hear the wife with no problem. Well worth the wait and price. Thanks for an excellent product..
I needed to upgrade my compressor and wanted a very quiet yet powerful compressor. I purchased the 5HP 80 Gal Pressure Lubricated Silent Air unit. I am very impressed with how quiet it is and how cool it runs. Seems to be very well balanced and has very minimal vibration. Overall, quite pleased with this purchase!
