What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this compressor for its reliability, quiet operation, and ability to handle multiple framing and finish nailers simultaneously without overheating. Most highlight its compact, lightweight design, quick recovery time, and consistent air pressure maintenance, with many noting the oil-lubricated cast iron pump ensures durability. Reviewers consistently report it outperforms larger, more expensive models for residential and light commercial use. A few mention the oil dipstick design is awkward and tank drain valves are poorly positioned, but these minor issues are vastly outweighed by strong overall satisfaction and value.

Would RecommendThe compressor is heavy, but you would expect a 4 gal compressor to have some heft. The thing runs fairly quietly and makes plenty of air for my flooring tools.

This product works as advertised
Would RecommendWe wanted an oil lubricated portable air compressor to use throughout the hospital. This compressor performs flawlessly and is light enough to carry on the roof, inside air handlers or crawl spaces. It was definitely a great value.

Great value packed into this tool.
Would RecommendThis unit has been working well so far. It has more than enough air output for a couple finish nailers and enough for one framing nailer doing small jobs where you are nailing intermittently. It can’t really keep up with continuous nailing on the framing gun. Although it isn’t the most modern tech it is quieter than other similar units I’ve used. Has a pretty quick recovery and seems to be lighter than the others also. The jury is still out on durability as it’s still too new to live up to my ex...

I've only had this compressor a short time, still under review.
Would RecommendI had an Hitachi compressor for 20 years and had no problems with it until it wasn't worth fixing. I chose the same brand based on the reliability of my old compressor. I'm satisfied so far with my purchase. I don't like the fact that it's made in China, where as my old one was made in Italy, it shows. It's lighter in weight and I appreciate that. I frame mostly, sometimes with two guns running. It seems take more time to refill.

Great so far!
Would RecommendI have used this to pump up 10 tires, 6 of which require 100 to 120 PSI. This unit worked much faster than my previous compressor, pumped up fast. I bought this not realizing it was oil type...I am not sorry, I am betting its my last RV compressor.

This compressor requires a little maintenance but it's worth it when you have a good product!
Would RecommendI frame houses and finish homes. Sometimes I have to run 2 nail guns off this compressor but never a problem keeping up!

best air compressor I've owned
Would Recommenda very dependable product which is used everyday and has never failed me

Heavy Duty Unit but not the best quality.
Would Not RecommendFitting leak enough on a brand new unit it will never reach shut of pressure. I need to take it apart and rebuild the air line connections to stop the leaks so it will build pressure to the shut off point. Extremely heavy and awkward compared to my Senco unit that someone has stolen from my garage. Both unit were set up to do the same duty.

A very good product.
Would RecommendI use this compressor alot, on all my residential roofing. I'm pretty rough on my tools, but this compressor never fails, and is very durable. For the price you can make back your money tenfold.

Product performs as advertised - have not used it long enough to comment on long-term durability
Would RecommendOn/Off switch seems to be quite hard to pull on. Compressor was quite a bit louder than the Campbell-Hausfeld compressor I replaced it with.
