What Customers Are Saying

The air compressor has a powerful motor and quickly builds up pressure, handling light to medium-duty tasks effectively. However, some users have experienced issues with the regulator, motor, and pressure maintenance. The quality and durability seem inconsistent, with some units lasting for years while others fail within months of light use. Overall, the compressor provides good value when functioning as intended, but customers should be prepared for potential reliability problems.

Ask if parts are available before buying

Would Not Recommend

Worked well for a few uses over a two year period. The outlet connection completely fractured off of the regulator manifold. The manifold is made of cheap metal and could not be retapped. Called the number to purchase a new one, but was told no parts available. This model number is still for sale in the store today.

Cheap material

Would Not Recommend

Functioned well for about six times less than a year then started failing as if overheated. I guess I got my money's worth yet wish it had lasted longer or at least he more easily worked on
