Powermate PLA1683066 30-Gallon Portable Twin Cylinder Cast Iron Air Compressor

Powermate PLA1683066 30-Gallon Portable Twin Cylinder Cast Iron Air Compressor
  • Heavy duty induction motor for maximum performance and efficiency
  • 155 psi max pressure for optimum tool performance
  • 30-Gallon ASME
  • Dual voltage motor is wired for standard 120 volt outlet, and may also be converted for 240 volt application
  • Fully assembled and equipped with quick-set regulator, tank and tool pressure gauges, quick connect air outlet and on/off switch for ease of use

I have had my compressor for a year and I like that it is very quiet when running and keeps up with my air tools. The pneumatic wheels make it easy to move because I use it to close my sprinkler system and I need to go across the grass to get to the valves. I have had a oil leak since it was new from the cylinder heads to the block and I am on my second time tiring to repair it. The machine has a two year warranty but it's to heavy to move to bring it to a repair shop so that's my last resort. This is a 110 volt unit and I never blow any fuses. I have modified the bottom drain so it's easier to drain and you can get all the hardware at and big box store. Home Depot sells there version of this machine with the Husky name on it if you want to pick it up or have it delivered for $429.00 + $55.00 to have it delivered. The only difference I can see is the belt protector is plastic and it's a 2 year warranty instead of 3 years with the Powermate which makes up the difference in the price.
