Speedway 8550 8-Gallon Air Compressor

• 8 gallon tank; Solid cast iron cylinder/durable steel air intake filter
• 15.5 amps; 1.5 HP; 3360 RPMs
• 115 PSI; 5 CFM @ 90 PSI and 6 CFM @ 40 PSI
• Cold start, twin capacity induction motor w/thermal overload protection

The compressor works well but not as described.

The good:

the compressor works like it should.

Pumps up and holds pressure.

Not so good:

The quick connect value leaks unless a male fitting is connected.

The shroud was broken and really lousy packaging ( almost destroyed packaging in shipping).

No hose or accessories included with the compressor as stated in description.

But after installing my hose and fitting it works fairly well. I could have brought this from harbor freight for less money ( live and learn )

However, no hose was include. Nor was it mentioned on the package, so it is a seller problem, not manufacturer. So far, I do not see a way to contact the seller about this, so I may just have to challenge the credit card charge. I think I should be reimbursed the cost of the hose I purchased.

Other than that, works as advertised.

I am very unhappy with it. First time my order was sent to a wrong address. When I finally got it was damaged with missing parts. I've return it. After that I've got my order and the box was all wet. The oil bottle broke and and all the oil liked out inside of the box. The description says 5 CFM @ 90 PCI. That is what I was actually looking for, but after getting the unit I've realized that it says 3.8 CFM @ 90 PCI on the label of unit. Total mislead of description. Should I send it back again?

I ordered the 8850, but the one I recieved was model 38468. The description says 5 CFM @90, but the 38468 model has less CFM than that. The description says there is a hose. Mine did not come with a hose. I sent back the model back and told amazon customer service said they would investigate issue. I reordered and still got the same model 38648, but this one had 4.4 CFM @ 90 on the label. What I need amazon to do is fix the description, or ship by model 8550 with the advertised 5 CFM @ 90. It feels like someone has been deceitfull in this whole process, like they are selling other models than 8850. Am I missing something here??? I haven't got to the point of using the equipment...

I have now received two of these compressors, both with the regulator snapped off. I don't know if the actual compressor is any good since I can't seem to get one that isn't damaged on arrival. I'm going to find another compressor and hope to find better luck.
