Regulator in Snap off too easy

Would Not Recommend

The end that you hook airlines IN 2 SnapShot takes forever to find a way to contact the company and when you do mysteriously they don't have the parts to fix it so you'll lose out on using a compressor that you pay $200 for

Used for pool closing

Would Recommend

We’ve used this compressor to close the pool each winter and it’s done the job with ease. We have a 20,000 gallon pool. With the added attachments, sold separately, we hook it right up to the filter and blow out the lines. It was also used for building our deck and has plenty of power to drive in nails into pressure treated wood.

Very poor regulator

Would Not Recommend

The regulator does not work well It allows pressure surges and creeps up when tool is not used for a few minutes Will run a nailgun barely adequately Worthless for low pressure applications like painting

Bad experience, no box, no manual, filthy, leaky

Would Not Recommend

Experience was pretty terrible overall. Not exaggerating when I say there were multiple issues with this order. 1. Item was filthy, covered in a layer of dust. 2. Item did not come in a box, rep at store said they come open like that but it seems like these items usually do come in boxes. Item was *not* sold as Open-Box. 3. Item did not come with manual so I had no idea I was supposed to do certain things before turning it on, if the item is not going to be sold with a box then it should at leas...

Flawless Performance for My Flooring Project

I purchased the 6-Gallon Portable Electric 150 PSI Pancake Air Compressor from Lowe’s to install hardwood floors with a nail gun, and it worked flawlessly. As a first-time user, it took me a bit to understand the setup, but once I got the hang of it, operation was simple. It holds pressure well and allows you to adjust to your desired settings without any issues. Solid performance and great value!

Just what we needed!

Would Recommend

Very nice compressor with easy controls, pumps air fast and definitely makes a good garage size compressor. It is noisy but all are, so overall we appreciate our purchase.

It’s a bit loud.

Compressor works great. Good pressure and enough air to pump up a completely flat tire.
