Does this use a compressor or peltier device?

I believe it's a compressor and there is a fan that circulates the cold air. Gets beer FREEZING COLD!! Set to 30 degrees and it keeps it just above freezing!

It is a compressor and it will get very cold. Will easily freeze beer at lower settings. It works very well and holds pretty constant temperatures.

This is not that kind of compressor. It doessn't maintain or shut off at specific psi. It is just for airing up tires.

Yes, you can if the power supply can deliver the current it consumes. Otherwise you require a separate power supply. If you look at the specs, the peltier requires around 10A. The heatsink you use requires a fan.

No I have both the compressor and tank mounted horizontally. The only problem I have is when it freezes the pressure shutoff doesn't work

This is an air powered unit. But you have to have an air compressor to supply the air. It is not included.

Yes. In cooling mode fan runs in fan only mode, when the compressor shuts off.

Not by hand pump. I use a small compressor. The size was to small for me...

it doesn't need a compressor.this one only works with your hands compressing the handle forcing grease out. This one does not have a fitting for an airline

Yes it does have a compressor, it will absolutely freeze items inside if you want it to. We use it on our sailboat and it works great. I do not know what type of battery draw it has as we use it 99% of the time plugged in. It is prety heavy. I think it would be hard to use as a cooler for picnics etc. but camping, boating, etc. it would be great

we used an air compressor. if you don't have one, just go to a gas station and use theirs.

Short answer is yes any compressor, don't know if 2hp is enough for continuous operation, worst case you have to wait while it pumps up, or add extra volume in the system. Works good otherwise.

No it doesn't. I use a portable 12V air compressor, pump, which is available via Amazon. Not too expensive.

any cheap 1 galon compressor will do, but if you want later to upgrade I WILL said get at lease a 2 gallon unit

No, its got its own air driver built it. It does work very well. Does not need or work with compressor.

The air compressor is a must. My husband has one, which I believe he bought at Sears. This thing is really big!

No, it needs an external compressor. Mine is a Craftsman 15-gallon oil-less. The cutter goes through a lot of air at 90-120 psi. 15 gallons is fine, but the compressor has to recharge pretty frequently. I assume you can't use an oiled compressor, or at least without an oil separator. It's an awesome cutter!

The compressor has worked well with the pneumatic tools. I found it on sale later at Lowes.
