Solid Trim Compressor
By Jason
I have used this compressor now for about three months. I am pleased with it's performance so far. The only main drawback is that it is quite heavy. This is made easier by the fact that the compressor can be split in two for transportation and other applications. The twin one gallon hotdog tanks can be separated from the motor and half gallon tank. You can have up to three different guns running at two different pressures (two from one pressure, one from another). This is really helpful when you are using different guns for different applications. Overall I am very pleased with this compressor and would recommend it to someone looking for a contractor grade trim compressor.

When the compressor showed up at my door, it had taken quite a beating from shipping. Using a mallet, I was able to straighten out the parts that were bent. However, the compartment that holds the air filter was cracked. I ended up just ordering a replacement part because it was so cheap (cost about $5 plus shipping). Once I get it installed, it should be in good condition again. Now, this is all because the item wasn't packed well enough. Ok, enough about the seller and shipping issues.As for the compressor itself, I love it (this is why I rated more stars than not). I was able to fill the tanks, speparate them from the motor, and take it inside my house for some repair work. Quietest method. My kids that were sleeping could keep sleeping because there was not a motor to turn on. I have plenty of air in the 5 gallons (combined tanks) of air. I mostly used it with a brad nailer, but I did use the occasional direct air blowing to dust things off. I was able to do this because of the two air connections available on the front that are connected to the tanks. There is a third connection tied to the motor section had I needed another connection where I left the motor.Anyways, I highly suggest this system. It has worked flawlessly so far for me. If it does fail or have an issue, I update this review. Todays date: 2/25/13

Two defective units
By Talktojerm
Occasionally you have real trouble with an item and that's what happened here. I ordered one of these and about a week later it arrived. The packaging is awful, it was shipped in a box twice the size of the item and there was very little packing material to hold it in place inside the oversized box. The delivery guy literally rolled it end over end off the truck. I could hear the compressor flop from a standing position to a laying position inside the box. Undeterred, I opened the box and took out the compressor (only a couple dings from shipping, not anything returnworthy), and plugged it in. It started and filled fine, but made a very loud hissing sound once full. With this hissing sound the compressor lost about 25 pounds of air (the gauge went from 150 to 125). I let the air out with an air nozzle attachment, but the compressor would not start again. I realized that every time the compressor runs, the fuse on the back would trip and it would not restart. I immediately called and arranged for a replacement compressor. To make a long story short, the replacement compressor was exactly the same as the first one. Same delivery, same packaging, same problem. I had read somewhere that these compressors really draw a lot of power when they first start, so I took it to my neighbors house, in case my electrical wasn't up to the task. We experienced the same problem in his garage. We tried several different outlets in both his home and mine and always the same result, we had to reset the breaker on the machine. If it worked, this would be an awesome machine! Unfortunately it wouldn't work... I gave it two stars because as usual the replacement and return through Amazon was totally hassle free. Honestly this is the only reason I considered buying a factory reconditioned item over the internet..
