I loved how quiet this compressor was... note was... until the motor smoked.. karendid you already throw yours away.. I am in need of a motor... my unit was barely used.. one day I went to do a light amount of air tool work and started to smell burning wires. thankfully the house breaker blew.

When it works, it works fine. Powered two different brad nailers and a spray finishing system for light use on furniture.

After 40 hours of use with the nailers it broke. Before that it gave my Father in law additional service without issue. The motor ate the drive belt, presumably after a small slip. There was a "Service Advisory" on it, which cost $30 of parts, and the owner gets to fix it, himself. Guess it was a known problem with a relief valve that backed up the system, forcing an overpressure on the piston, thus the slip of the belt. Bought service kit, Fixed it. Not ten hours of use later (three months actual time), the pin connecting the crankshaft to the piston sheared. Breaking two times, and it was going to be a new motor, $120, to fix that one. No thank you.

I'd give it Zero stars if Amazon would let me.

Last week I bought a Dewalt 15-gallon, DEWALT D55167 1.6 HP 200 PSI Oil Free High Pressure Low Noise Horizontal Portable Compressor, which was equivalent in size, hoping the next compressor system wouldn't end up being another disposable purchase. We'll see how it goes. The price on the DeWalt has dropped significantly since I paid $480 on Amazon for it. It smells some times, but it works very well. If you don't need a portable version, the former race car mechanic I work with now, uses a Craftsman stationary one. His 30 gallon system was $300 when he bought it around 2002, or so he says. He hasn't had to do any work on his system, and he uses it much more than I do, as he rebuilds muscle cars on the weekends. He recommended DeWalt or Rigid for portable systems. I passed on the Rigid portables. They too are built by Campbell Hausfeld. No thanks.

I bought the 20 Gal. model. My previous compressor lasted 20 years. This one is destroyed after 1 year and a half.The piston exploded out of the motor. The waranty is only a year and the service center practicaly said it is disposable because it is oilless. I will never buy from this company again.

I bought this little compressor for its portability at WalMart over 8 Yrs ago. It is a great little compressor, when used like it should be. Last week it stopped pumping past 60 PSI, I disassembled and noticed the cylinder and ring were bad. The great thing about buying a name brand is that the manufacturers sell parts to fix them. $35.00 for the new piston and cylinder assembly and its back up and running like new. Don't be fooled by the others who rate this compressor low, they are amateurs who probably overuse a little compressor and don't know how to repair their own equipment, otherwise they would rate this a 5 star also.

I have had this compressor for roughly 10 years. On amazon looking for a replacement belt and noticed the horrible reviews. Maybe they are building them differently. This is only my second time replacing the belt, and it gets moderate use I would say.
