Perfect
By A Customer
If it says this is a kids review just ignore it. I am not a kid I just did not feel like logging in.I have owned this air compressor for about two years now and it was worth every penny. The compressor is excellent, So far I have run my compressor about 100 hours thus far. It has always supplied my with an ample amount of air when using air tools except if I run my impact for 10 minuets continuously then it drops to 70 psi. I would recommend this compressor to any one with out hesitation. I turned it on two years ago and it has been on ever sense it kicks on about every hour because there is a leak I have not fixed in my air system. As to the previous reviewer he is full of bull. And as to the allegations that it is cheap and would not hold up to extended runs I routinely run It for 3 to 8 hours at a time continuously and have done so at least a dozen times in the summer on 90+ days. Yes it puts of a lot of heat but if you do the math PV=nRt you will see that a lot of heat is given off compressing that much air. Yet with all this heat it has never caused it to malfunction, and the motor has a thermal over load/over heat button which has never tript on mine even after 8 hours in the summer. As well as the complaints as to the power of the motor if they were true that would mean that the motor was only 30% efficient thus it would be putting out 2320 watts of heat which it is not. It is drawing more than enough power for 4 HP even with efficiency factored in so it is putting out at least 3 HP. As well as the problem with the lack of rod bearings. They don't have them because there is no way to get a round ball bearing on to the crankshaft with out cutting them in half. As well as every small engine I have rebuilt and ever car engine I have seen they have had nothing more than the rod bolted around the crankshaft without any bearing of any kind. Finally the issue with the valves being cheap..... Why do you need to make it more complicated if it works reliably with such a simple valve. Also in response to the allegations that the tank was going to over pressurize If the switch failed and it continued to run there is a spring loaded safety valve on the power switch on the compressor so it is not possible to over pressurize it, mine hits about 133 before it kicks off. It is an excellent piece of equipment I highly recommend it.

Only thing industrial is the sticker
By 3RWW
Had the comp 1 year when motor went out. Phone rep said voltage supply may be too low. Service tech and electrician said supply was fine. $300 new motor from the factory. 1 year later, motor fried, $200 rebuilt motor. 10 mo later, pump died.In fairness, I use this moderate to heavy use. When on the phone with the rep, I explained that I bought this "heavy duty" compressor specifically because it said right on the lable, "rated for continual use.". Her EXACT words were, " Oh, that's a little misleading. What it means is that there's a continual air supply." Wow.My advice is skip ANYTHING with Ingersol Rand on it. This is not the first piece of crap I've bought thinking it was "heavy duty" by them, but it is the last. They price all their stuff as if it's built to work, but I've found the hard way that it's all made of the cheapest junk they can find.

By Corry L. Westinghouse
This is the worst air compressor I have ever owned. I bought it new from a local distributor (Precision Pneumatics) and had it in operation for all of 2 months before it gave up. I called Precision Pneumatics and they came out IMMEDIATLY to evalutate the problem.It appears that the motor burned up. They removed the motor and then a couple of days later removed the entire unit. They gave me a loaner (thankfully) to use while they fixed the IR. I have been using their loaner (not an Ingersoll Rand by the way) almost two weeks now without a problem.I got a call today from Precision Pneumatics saying that they were refunding my money because IR has been less than cooperative with the warranty. IR told them that it could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months to 2 years before they were able to get a replacement unit/motor out for the warranty.In order to save a customer and do the right thing Precision Pneumatics will be giving me a refund on the IR and they will fight with IR. Thank goodness for shopping local and using people who care about doing business the right way....too bad I can not say that about Ingersoll Rand.
