Recently my 30 year old 20gal shop Air compressor motor died. It only had a 2hp oil less motor. It worked well for the using it on the weekends. However, when I retired and was using it almost everyday I realized it just couldn't provide the air that I needed to run my air tools as long as I needed without having to wait for it to build pressure. So, when it died it was a excuse to get a more powerful one. Being retired means I'm on a fixed income shoe string budget. So, I started looking for a replacement motor. I quickly found out that motors were expensive and almost as much as a whole new compressor. Then I started looking for portable compressors with a bigger motor than I was attempting to replace. I came across this compressor with the 3 1/2 HP motor with a price that I could afford. It arrived quickly with minimal exterior damage ( the plastic motor shroud was broken at the mounting bolts). After filling it with oil and turning it on it got to pressure rather quickly. However, it did not maintain pressure when left overnight. I found a air leak around the connection around the pipe that goes from the hose connections and the tank. I connected this compressor to my old compressor tank. This gives me a total of 30gal of air. The 3 1/2hp motor fills up the tanks quickly. And, it keeps up with my air needs and fits within my budget.

Has a welded on handle for easy wheeling. Compact but a bit longer than our old one. Noise is typical for a compressor. Also had exact placement screws to place old compressors handle/bracket.(We used to place the curled up hose)Easy set up. Surprisingly there was a broken piece of plastic, (at screw of cover for motor ) but it was easily fixed with a washer and would’ve been fine to just leave the little broken piece off. I’m sure the company would’ve received and sent a new one but we just fixed. It came in a box with Styrofoam padding, so I don’t know how it got broken (weird)

Used it 2 months it worked every time until this last time. Worked good day before yesterday morning then will not come on that evening. Will not run now when I really need it. Support is useless so I paid over $200 for air for approximately a month and a half and now no help fixing it. Really REALLY UPSET WITH THIS.9

If you're looking to use a HVLP gun that it is no higher than 8.5 cfm, this will certainly do the job. I paint electric guitars and this is probably the perfect size for that. It seems to keep up with my Sherpa Finex 1000 without any problem, that gun requires 7 cfm and in theory I could be pressing that trigger all day long and the compressor will keep up fine.The handle is plastic and it may not take a beating, if you're a contractor and you just need it for nail guns, there are tons of options out there, I think this compressor is meant for people who want an HVLP for smaller projects such as furniture, motorcycles or musical instruments. Unfortunately most manufacturers have dropped the CFMs of smaller compressor making this one one of the few available that will keep up with higher CFM demands at low PSI.I broke it in running it for 30 minutes with all the valves open, drained the oil that came in it and got some better quality synthetic oil from the Home Depot, it has been running flawlessly so far. I did not use the oil that came with it, there was some oil in the packaging, other than that mine came in one piece, the shipping box part that protects the plastic handle could be better, the handle could be much better but for the price I am not complaining, this thing has plenty of power.

It arrived with the crack on the plastic, but should not affect performance. Although the packaging was adequate, it was not enough to keep the compressor totally protected. One of the discharge quick couplers leaked when connected to an air line. Its nice to have two available. One is regulated and the other is not. Can't say if leaky coupler was from shipping or just bad from factory. Drain valve is inadequate. I prefer them with T-handles or ears. Greatest thing about this compressor is how quiet it is compared to others. Its not Cali Cool quiet, but definitely lower than most. Fills up quickly, less than two minutes, and is fully adjustable to handle a bit more pressure; only after replacing safety valve with one that handles more pressure. Which brings me to the fact that the factory shipped safety valve is 8bar (116psi) even though the unit is advertised as 125psi working pressure and the switch's cut-out was 110psi. Replacing safety valve with a 145psi valve and cranking up the cut-out pressure at the switch, I was able to get consistent 125 - 127psi working pressure. I don't and will not use this unit for painting, it is mostly for gun use; nail gun, staple gun, brad gun. I did use it to sand blast some metal parts @ 60psi and it did very well. I don't normally review much of the things I buy, but I just had to point out a few things on this unit. If you're looking at these types of units you are probably a DIYer like me. I got the unit because I knew the replacement parts are readily available and its easy to upgrade. The unit works for me because I made it work for me. If you want something specific right out of the box, search elsewhere. This unit isn't Harbor Freight, nor is it Husky. Its just basic china parts assembled in the USA that can be at your house really fast, thus the 3 out of 5 stars.

Bought for a HVLP paint spray gun. While a newb to painting here, this compressor is doing what it advertised. Some minor hardware (did not effect use) wasnt in box when unpacking—seller sent pieces right away. This amateur says good buy for the money. Satisfied for the two weeks Ive run it.

fills tank quickly. seems to work just fine. The manual indicates what the parts are, but would be nice if there were part numbers for replacement if necessary. Wanted to change airline couplers to a "better/standard style found n most garages. The thread on the compressor is not the std. thread.easy remedy. leave the compressor alone and change the other end (accessory end) to what style you choose. Only had item for about 2 weeks but at this time would recommend.
