Campbell Hausfeld VH6111 15 Amp 3 Horsepower 60 Gallon Oiled Stationary Vertical Compressor

Campbell Hausfeld VH6111 15 Amp 3 Horsepower 60 Gallon Oiled Stationary Vertical Compressor
  • Solid Cast Iron twin cylinder pump for longer life
  • Durable 60 gallon ASME code tank
  • Powerful 230 Volt motor
  • Reliable CAST IRON oil-lubricated pump

I recently purchased this compressor and couldn't be happier. It performs extremely well (it's a compressor what's to not work). Shipping was a great experience (shouldn't reflect opinions of the product anyway), timely service and it arrived in perfect condition.

This compressor is a major step up from my previous one. It's quiet though you can feel a minor vibration in the floor from the pistons in the compressor thumping along. That will be corrected when I finalize it's position in the shop and mount it. I may use some rubber grommets to isolate it a bit more, I'm not sure that it really needs it though. More than likely just bolting it down should minimize the vibration.

The compressor fills the tank quickly and I haven't had to adjust the cutoff swith as it came set correctly from the factory.

I'd buy it again no problem.....

I took a chance, ordering this compressor from Amazon. Price was right and I _thought_ Campbell Hausfeld was a quality brand. The process of ordering from Amazon was straight forward. But the compressor was damaged when delivered. An air filter was crushed. Amazon doesn't handle part replacements, so I had the choice of shipping it back to them for a replacement (300lb compressor on a pallet) or they would refund me the cost of purchasing the replacement air filter. I chose that, but then after running the compressor for less than an hour, the electric motor blew up. It makes a horendous screetching noise when running. But unfortunately since it's past 30 days, I have to deal with the manufacturer (no credit for the time spent waiting for the damaged filter element, which prevented the unit from being run). All in all, I'm receiving fairly poor service on what appears to be total junk.

lesson learned, should've gone to a local tool supplier.
