What Customers Are Saying
This air compressor received mixed reviews. On the positive side, customers found it to be powerful, well-built, and relatively quiet. The large tank size and high pressure capacity made it suitable for various workshop tasks. However, some users reported issues with the design, such as the difficult-to-access moisture drain valve. There were also complaints about air leaks, regulator problems, and slower-than-expected recovery time. Opinions on the noise level were divided, with some finding it quiet and others reporting it became very loud over time. Overall, while many customers recommended the compressor as a good value, they advised potential buyers to inspect it carefully and be prepared to address any issues.

No quality control
Would Not RecommendToday is 03/16/26, Air Compressor was delivered last week, waited until Sat. to un-box it. Got it out of the box and plugged it in. All I could hear was air leaking. The line from the motor that goes to the tank was leaking in two places. Got that tightened up, still hearing air leaking. One of the quick couplings was bad and leaking out of the end that you plug in the air hose. Swapped it out with one from the unit I was replacing. Still leaking air, under the plastic cover over the moto...

Poor quality control.
Would Not RecommendThis compressor replaced a craftsman of similar size that I had for 23 years. It was shipped with the wrong pressure switch installed and would not cycle off before the pressure relief valve would pop off.I had to get the manufacturer to mail me 7h3vcorrect switch so that i could fix it myself, i hope i can get another 20 plus years or more from this one. I seriously question their Quality control.

Sorry I bought it
Would Not RecommendIt's billed as a quiter air compressor. I've been around a lot of compressors, and I can say it's not that much quiter than others. Here's the thing, though. If it's quiter, it should be no surprise that it will take a little longer to recharge. We can accept that, as long as it's quiter, not such a noisy racket. THIS one, however, is not much quiter and it takes FOREVER to recharge., much longer than most compressors. Just give me a regular compressor if you're gonna assault my senses this wa...
It’s a great machine after certain mods
Would RecommendThis is the second one of these compressors I have owned the first one lasted me 12 years so I figured why not just get another one of these if I can get that much out of it it’s worth the investment. It seems as though a great deal of these machines have problems with leakage from the factory that has been the case on both of the machines I have owned mine leaked at the entrance to the tank coming from the motor, so I had to take that apart and clean the threads and put new Teflon tape. it’s an...
Waste of $$$ - bad welds
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Waste of $$$. After only about 4 years it began leaking due to a crack in a weld on bottom of tank. That's very poor craftsmanship. Don't waste your money on anything from Craftsman that has a motor/engine - those tools are garbage.

Lowes did a great job... Again! The air compressor showed up mounted to a pallet. Using their portable loading dock, they slipped it in the back of my pickup while I stood back and watched. Great guys and a friendly encounter. Nice work!

It's defective
Would Not RecommendIt is defective. It won't generate more than 110 PSI of pressure despite being rated at 175 PSI. It just keeps running. It is being repaired under warranty, but a brand new item should be tested at the factory to ensure it works.
