Pro-Force VPF1581719 17-Gallon Oil Free Air Compressor with Kit

Pro-Force VPF1581719 17-Gallon Oil Free Air Compressor with Kit
  • Oil free, low maintenance operation
  • Equipped with pressure regulator, pressure gauge, quick connect air outlet, on/off switch and built in-handle for easy lifting
  • Fully enclosed shroud to protect the pump and motor
  • Includes extra value kit - 25-Feet recoil air hose, blow gun with safety nozzle, inflation needle and adapter fitting, dual tire chuck, quick coupler,1/4-Inch NPT male and female thread connectors and thread sealant
  • Maximum pressure: 125 PSI; CFM at 90 PSI: 3.5; CFM at 40 PSI: 4.8; RHP: 1.5; UL and CSA certified

Arrived in nice condition, appears to be well made, wasn't powerful enough to handle blowing out my irrigation system but I knew it probably wasn't enough cfm's to handle that job, though it did pop the heads on 2 out of the 7 zones. Seems sturdy, has a pop out breaker on the engine which I didn't see right away, so if you trip it be looking for that. My 15 amp outlet had trouble with blowing the breaker in my breaker box, but the 20 amp outlet I tried next had no problems. If you are going to use an extension cord make sure it is heavy enough gauge.

Still own this compressor, still functions fine but the amount of air it leaks after filling is more prevalent now than when I first got it. I think the quality of fittings is just not that great on the unit. You are suppose to empty a compressor tank when you are done using it anyway, but don't buy this thinking you are going to fill it once a month (or week) and use it repeatedly off that fill.
