Factory-Reconditioned Porter-Cable C2002R Oil-Free UMC Pancake Compressor

Factory-Reconditioned Porter-Cable C2002R Oil-Free UMC Pancake Compressor
  • Like-new factory-reconditioned version of Porter-Cable pancake compressor
  • Induction motor provides longer life and better performance
  • Soft-smart motor can easily run off of normal household circuits
  • Runs at 3.5 SCFM for faster recharf of six-gallon tank
  • Includes 120 PSI cut-in pressure that provides 30 PSI bonus air

Received in record time. Compressor looked brand new, up to pressure in 2 minutes out of the box. BUT THE REGULATOR WAS BROKE. On inspection there were no parts inside the reulator except for a spring! Obviously no one checked to see if it worked at all. However, Amazon so far has gone above and beyond to accomadate me (next day shipping for free) on the replacment. Hope it works!

Got the replacment today, again record time! Looks great, everything appears to be working fine. Thanks Amazon, RM

Buy Factory-Reconditioned Porter-Cable C2002R Oil-Free UMC Pancake Compressor Now

Unlike previous factory reconditioned items I have gotten in the past, this unit came unprotected in an aftermarket box, and appeared to have just been unplugged, dropped in the box and shipped. The power cord was not even wound around the storage area provided on the compressor. No owners manuel and worse than that, no warrantee card. I plugged the unit in and it seemed to build and hold pressure, but returned it anyway.

Ordered this from Amazon after a nightmare experience with the same model ordered from an eBay seller.

The 'nightmare' unit was over spray painted, stuck drain valve, dirty, stained (used) manual, no air hose and most importantly it did not work. Apparently the regulator was toast. Clearly a broken return they tried to pawn off. Returned unit to seller (crook?).

This unit from Amazon looks and runs like brand new. I can open the condensate drain valve with my fingers. Unit came with a new manual and a brand new air hose with connectors attached. Beautiful. Clearly a true "factory refurbished" unit.

Tried it out. It went to 150 lbs and shut off automatically. Filled some tires, and the unit kicked in at 120 lbs to refill.

Excellent. Good buy! Don't hesitate to buy this product from Amazon.

Inspect carefully and test on arrival. I bought one for a project that fell through, and didn't try it for about 6 weeks. The pressure gauge was defective so the unit wouldn't turn off. I was able to return the unit, but I had to pay a restocking fee. The unit I received was poorly repainted and they just sprayed over rust on the bottom. I wouldn't buy this unit again.

Before puchasing this product, I read many of the reviews, and I must say I was a bit hesitent in ordering. I buy most of the products I use outdoors as "Factory Reconditioned", and to date, I have only had to send 2 back. I simply could not fix them myself. The key to reconditioned products, to me, is not needing to use them on receipt. Plan ahead. Then, if there is a problem, you CAN afford to wait. With that said, I had to send this compressor back. It simply would not send air to the outlet valves, or to the outlet gauge. Was it defective?? Yes. So, I emailed Amazon and they shipped me out a "new" reconditioned item, all tolled, it took 8 days. (ship defective one back, and receive replacement item.) Was I pleased with the service.?? Yes. Did I get what I paid for?? Yes. Was I irritated with the transaction?? No.! Why not, you say.? Because I used Murphy's Law, what can go wrong, may go wrong. The idea that a reconditioned item will arrive with no flaws is just asking too much in todays world. Yes, read reviews, but if you want to save some big bucks for a decent item, plan ahead, and have time.

My 2nd compressor arrived on December 12,2011, and when powered up to run for a few minutes to purge water from the tank, everything worked fine. However, when the air bleed was closed on the bottom of the tank, and it was run up to 150PSI, when the unit powered off, there was a slight air leak under the air gauges, which was rectified with 2 hose clamps that were easily installed by me, for an additional $2.00. Powered up to 150PSI and shutting off at pressure, not an airleak to be heard. I'm very pleased with this product for the money paid. And yes, I'm a do-it-yourself homeowner.!
