Unreliable cheap junk / not built to last
Just got this delivered today and tried it for the first time. It seems like cheaply made chinese junk (Harbor Freight) priced to sell to the masses. Even though there is not much to know about how to use this compressor, the instructions are only printed on the box itself. No other manual was included and the instructions printed on the box, are written by someone who doesn’t know English very well. It’s a dead giveaway where this came from. I’m not convinced this portable air compressor is going to last. I suppose time will tell. Once upon a time equipment like this was made in the USA with better quality materials and craftsmanship and was designed to be a quality reliable product that would last. This air compressor may or may not get the job done for you but in any case, it just really feels cheap
February 25, 2018 update.
Just after owning this for only three or four days so far, I grabbed this compressor today for the second time to top off the air in the tires on my wife’s Honda Civic. The compressor was completely dead. Couldn’t get it to work. Dead.Dead.Dead. It’s a good thing we were in our own driveway and not out in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire. This truly is a piece of chinese junk just as I suspected. I’m returning this POS to Amazon and will shop for another compressor. Hopefully a compressor that is made to last more than once. Avoid. Do not waste your money on this piece of unreliable chinese junk.
