I had an old Rand 4000 air compressor that was recalled (1986 model). As part of their recall program they let me choose from a number of different air compressors at a discounted price. I chose the SS3F2, 2hp 30 gallon Garage Mate since it is almost identical to my old Rand 4000. So far I'm very happy with this compressor. The first thing I was shocked about is how quiet it is. You can still listen to the radio while this thing is running! Also, with the 30 gallon tank, it has to run less anyway. Make sure you also buy the start up kit because when I got my compressor it did not have oil in it yet (or even include any). I found the start up kit for $24.95 online and it comes with 2x 0.5L bottles of oil and 2 air filters. The pump only holds 0.5L of oil so you have a full bottle left over for a future change. The start up kit also extends your factory warranty by 2 years. I highly recommend this air compressor and Ingersoll Rand products!

I was looking for a long term replacement for the "buzz bomb" compressors like on Sear models. This compressor is it. Runs quiet, large tank keeps pressure steady. Only slight problem was alignment of the handle attach bolt holes to the tank brackets was not good. Love it.

I'm very disappointed with the shoddy quality of the air compressor and the modes of shipping. First air compressor had to be left at the bottom of my driveway because the driver couldn't back up the hill; when I got the compressor up the hill into my garage, I followed the instructions (lubrication, etc.) and started it up-the air filter apparatus came apart and further investigation revealed that the air filter apparatus was crushed. I notified amazon and they were prompt in sending a different shipper to pick up the old compressor and replace it with a new compressor-again the driver was unable to back up the hill due to a faulty transmission in the truck. Again, I followed the instructions and started it up-as the compressor built up air pressure, the air regulator apparatus blew apart with pieces going everywhere; again, the compressor is useless. I contacted amazon for a return and full refund this time last week, I contacted the main number of the shipper and obtained a confirmation number for the return, and, per their instructions, I contacted the local affiliate and was told that my confirmation number wasn't recognized and that they need the internal number to authorize the pick-up. I re-contacted the main shipper and relayed my experience at which time I was told that I would get a call within the hour for a scheduled pick-up (06/26/12). As of this writing, I haven't heard from anyone (07/02/12). I've known the Inglesoll-Rand brand for decades as being the industry standard...not this time...2 strikes and I'm still in the hole for $$$ and have a piece of junk taking up space in my garage.

Update: I ordered and purchased the Regulator Apparatus here in town and fixed the compressor myself; after an email exchange with Amazon, they credited me about 20% for my trouble. I now have a good air compressor and my parts and aggravation costs were covered. It's good to know that Amazon makes every attempt to look out for their customers...I will continue to use Amazon and cast this latest negative experience as a fluke.
