1st off. Install the muffler caps to the exhaust. Cant miss it, you can look at it and know what to do. That is NOT in the instructions. Next, the instructions say to turn the red valve clockeise and run for 30 min. That valve is only air pressure to the hose. What you need to do is, open the drain valve on the bottom of the tank. Run it for 30 min. Turn off, let it cool. Close the drain valve and your done. The motor is VERY QUIET and fills the 10 gallon tank in under 1 min. But you can take the instructions and throw them away. Completey useless. Over all, very happy with it and seems to be decent quality.

Used it now for a month. It runs pretty quite. It pressurize to 116 psi (8 BAR) but will bleed out and hold at 105 psi (7 BAR) psi. I had to add teflon tape to the pressure sensor on the side of the compressor.Note:I replaced the ball valve on the compressor with a filtered regulator. I found out the threads are not NPT. I had to buy NPT to BSPT adapter fittings.The threads on the compressor pressure switch 4-Way stem is threaded 1/4" BSPT. British Standard Pipe Taper is common in Europe (55 deg thread, 19TPI). The US uses NPT (60 deg thread, 18 TPI).

Very good product , will buy again

With two air filters this compressor is quiet and quick filling

Would not work in the cold. If inside its a great compressor, very disappointed i sent it back.

Great compressor for small projects or pumping up tires but not going to paint a car with it or run air tools all day, I did remove lug nuts with it but it ran the whole time,

I needed a compressor to blow out my lawn irrigation system once a year and this did the trick. I was worried that 6-gal wasn't enough for 5 zones, but if I perform a blow-out of each zone individually, this worked exceptionally well. The 2-HP motor refilled the 6-gal air tank very quickly in the event I wanted a second pass at each irrigation system zone. I basically wanted to buy something inexpensive that would be used at least once a year without having to pay $150 each time, every year for someone else to do it. This did the trick. It's also not very loud at all. Frankly, my neighbors are envious of my initiative to do this myself. Once I have it all in place, it's pretty brainless. Also, you can avoid some 3rd-party contractor from damaging your irrigation lines by over-pressurizing the lines. You can tune it on this compressor with the valve. Highly recommended.

Arrived quickly, easy to assemble.I have put this thing through it paces over the last two weeks in my home shop. Tire filling, air impact to rotate tires and an air ratchet to repair my snowblower.Nice an quiet, no leak down, holds air quite well.The cord is short so I will be changing it out for about eight of 12/3.Good value, as is half the price for a similar sized unit locally sourced.

I think I had higher hopes for this unit. However, "I have grown to quite love it". It's a smaller capacity that I had original planned to purchase, but I think the size, easy of use and transporting has made up for any short comings.I primarily use it to blow off engine parts, and do some small spray painting. Most useful for filling up my car tires. The most surprising this is how quiet it is. I could use it outside at 2am and it wouldn't disturb my neighbors.Only concern is how hot the motor part gets (burn your skin hot). But I have ran it from long periods (5 minutes straight with the motor running) and it hasn't failed as yet. I guess I'll provide a follow-up later. All in All, I'm very happy with my purchase. Note, I have started to buy more of this brand (Vevor), and I'm quite impressed with the value for money.

Works good so far .airs up fast and not very loud .see how long it last is the thing

I got this little air compressor to have one that's more portable than the big, stand in the corner monster I use for everything that requires high capacity air delivery (such as heavy duty trailer tires - 100 psi). I like this one better than any portable I've ever had. First, it's really quiet. You can talk over the noise it makes without raising your voice. Second, it fills from completely empty to full, in short order. We're looking at about a minute for that. Seems to be pretty high quality machine. The connections are tough, the gauges are accurate, even the plug is good quality. I'm glad I went with this, rather than the pancake style I was looking at. This one beats that one, hands down.....and it was cheaper.

1 year update: Turns out, a dedicated circuit isn't enough to make this compressor happy. For the last three months, I've had a dedicated 20 Amp outlet (with no other loads elsewhere) for this compressor. For a little while, it seemed happier, but even now it'll run to fill up once, and upon trying to restart, it struggles for a moment and then trips the onboard protection. Often it won't restart at all unless I empty the tank completely, let it sit a minute and then try again. And then it would do the same - it would run ok, fill up, but then when demand called for it again, it cuts out. So I guess for now, if I need it for something simple and don't feel like the extra loud noise of my pancake compressor, it's ok. But otherwise, it's become too much of a hassle to rely on.Original review:I do like this compressor, but it has to come with a pretty big Asterix that other's have mentioned. Pros and Cons first, then my experience. Also, this is a review of the 6.3 gallon compressor - so if you're reading this under the listing for a different model (the Amazon order page directed me to a much smaller unit afterwards), keep that in mind.But for the 6.3, I do like it 99% of the time. I ordered this for the quieter running and decent power in preparation for re-shingling a roof for a friend.Pros:* It IS definitely quiet compared to your standard 6g pancake compressors, by far.* It fills up quick. The 2HP motor and dual cylinder fill the tank rather fast.* It's easy to move around, though might vary depending on the person.Cons:* It needs to basically have a dedicated outlet, ideally a 20 amp circuit, or you're going to struggle keeping it on.* It's too short/small to wheel around with the handle and wheels without bending over uncomfortably, and it's almost too light to wheel around without fearing it'll tip over. Kind of top-heavy and narrow. Easier to just carry.* Only one output. Yes you can buy an adapter but for a 2HP motor, and a 6+ gallon tank, there's no reason not to. Most smaller pancakes have two, there's no reason this shouldn't have.The biggest issue is the power draw. I started the roofing project with this plugged directly into an outside outlet (15 amp). It worked fine for a few hours, restarted great, nice and quiet in town which was great too. But then I noticed the gun was low, went down, the protection was tripped. Clicked it in, restarted and I went back up. It ran the tank down, filled up one more time, and tripped again. At this point, it wouldn't restart after resetting, and when I would toggle it off/on, it wouldn't fire up. It was acting as if the power just wasn't there. I don't know if there was another draw on the same circuit elsewhere, but it was basically a crap shoot at that point. I unplugged it, moved outlets, it fired up and ran two cycles and tripped again.I ended up running to Lowes and spending twice as much on a Metabo pancake which, while louder, never hiccupped once the next three days, with a 2nd gun running at the same time.That isn't to say that this one is dead. It still works fine - IF I plug it into a dedicated outlet that I know is not being drawn at all by anything else, and ideally a 20 amp socket. And you're better off buying a longer air hose than trying to use an extension cord. I used a decent size 50' extension cord, outdoor rated (I use the same hose for an electric snowblower) - and it wouldn't crank up. It would hum like it wanted to, and then trip it's protection button. If I plug directly to the outlet, no issues. It's just a hungry beastie when it comes to power, it seems.Full Disclosure - I knew this going in, because most of the comments in regards to the protection tripping were for the same issue. I just thought that being plugged directly into an outlet would negate it, but apparently the outlet was only a 15a circuit and must've been shared with something else that was drawing power while I was trying to use it.But if you can put this in a shop on it's own 20 amp circuit, it would work great. It's my plan now, to turn it into a dedicated shed compressor with a retractable hose reel. But definitely plan out your electric and placement prior.
