Q: Hello, What size transformer would you recommend to operate the CH VT6271 on a 110v outlet? I'm concerned about the starting watts when the compressor is refilling. by Chris Roualec on April 08, 2011
A: Hello, This air compressor requires a 230V AC single phase electrical circuit. It can not be run from a generator, inverter or transformer connected to 120V AC. If 230V AC service is not available, then an engine powered air compressor can deliver 8+ CFM. Regards, Customer Service by Steve, Product Expert

Honest Feedback
Dear Sirs: You asked for honest feedback. I did my order by phone with Bob at extension 129. The first
compressor arrived with damage and I refused to accept. The second arrived with damage and I refused to accept. Bob offered a refund and I told him I needed a compressor. I also contacted CHPower customer service about the situation. A third compressor was shipped and it also arrived with damage. I accepted it and contacted CHPower at Harrison, Ohio, and they offered to send repair parts which I have installed and the compressor is now in limited use.
I have no issue with the people I did business with because they all offered to resolve the damaged unit to my satisfaction. However , someone wasn't doing their job of quality control at CHPower, because these units were not damaged by the R&L Freight company's mishandling . I'm hoping at this point that I have a compressor that will do me a good job. The purchase certainly wasn't a good experience for buying Made in the USA and I am certain CHPower will address the issues of quality control with the discussions we had and the photos that were sent.
ACD RESPONDS: Please be assured our buyer is working with our contacts at Campbell Hausfeld to correct the situation.
We appreciate your business, and apologize again for the inconvenience.

Struggled with ordering this compressor because of reviews about shipping damage. Was pleasantly relieved when it arrived without a bit of damage.
After a quick assembly of the wheels and handle I performed the compressor break in procedure. My wife’s observation was “how surprisingly quiet” this compressor was compared to our neighbors oil-less was.
All in all I would rate the buying experience and compressor a 5 stars.

So far very satisfied. My last CH compressor lasted 20 yrs.of home use. Made in the good ole USA is a double plus.
Service was great.

Design Flaw
There is a design flaw with the Campbell Hausfeld Compressor.
The Pressure switch and the Regulator both stick out on the side. Due
to this my compressor arrived with the nipple broken, the pressure switch broken and the
Regulator broken. And to top that of the compressor was shipped without the handle.
Probably a great compressor but maybe put the pressure switch on the handle side of the motor.
Less likely to get broken in shipping or in getting bumped into.
And I had to fix switch my self out of pocket...
ACD RESPONDS: Unfortunately, since you consigned your order to a separate freight shipper and it was delivered outside of the United States, we are unable to file a claim for shipping damage, and the Campbell Hausfeld Factory Warranty does not apply.
Customers whose merchandise remains in the US have recourse to freight claims and the Factory Warranty.

I thought Campbell Hausfeld was a cheap name at first, with cheap products. But when I purchased my compressor I was really surprised and impressed with the power, durability, and quality.

Bad tank
A Campbell Hausfeld tank holds up much better than an Air Tech tank.

Perfect Compressor
This Campbell Hausfeld compresser is one of the best I have ever had.
Air is always available and under good pressure. Not noisy. The compressor does not wake up my baby. I love it and it looks good too.

Very portable
This air compressor has been a little life saver. It has always helped me in my shop, but now we take it camping and to the lake to blow up innertubes, inflatable beds, and the truck tires if they need it.
It's very portable and not as heavy as I thought.

Campbell Hausfeld 26-Gallon (Belt-Drive) 230-Volt Cast-Iron Air Compressor Review
I decided to go cheap and buy the lowest price air compressor I could find. I figured I would never need it- just keep it for emergencies.
Well, the day came when I really needed one. I woke up late, and was running late for work as well as dropping the kids off at school.
To top things off two of my tires were flat and I was in a rush. My handy-dandy cheapo was there and I just knew it would work, and quickly. So I hook her up and wait... and wait... and wait.
It took 30 minutes to an hour to pump both of my tires up. That just goes to show ya, you can't always go cheap. Buy a trusted brand.

Up and going in no time
I was working on a school project and we experienced a flat tire. With this air compressor we were up and going in no time.

Look at the way I fill up my tires
I run a cool monster truck, and it takes a lot of air to keep these massive babies full.
I love using my Campbell Hausfeld Air Compressor to do the job right! It doesn't sputter, and fills them 'ol tires up right quick!
Campbell Hausfeld is the only brand I have ever used, or will use!
Keep up the great work!

Best thing I ever did
My old Craftsman air compressor failed after a couple of years, and I wanted a real air compressor- so I bought a Campbell Hausfeld one.
This compressor will handle anything, and it is also quiet.
Buying it is the best thing I ever did.

Great products
I purchased this compressor for use in my business and it does the job.
It has withstood very demanding use in tough working conditions.
I would highly recommend it.

I'm always servicing vehicles and heavy equipment, and the tire inflater attachment for the compressor has a tire gauge built into it.
But, it seems whenever I'm in need of one for my personal vehicles I never seem to have one readily available.

Late for work
I had gotten ready for work and I was so late.
When I got in the car I quickly figured out that my car tire was low. This made me even later, but luckily my air compressor worked well.
When I got to work I explained what had happened. My boss liked my compressor so much he went out and bought one for himself (and I didn't get my pay docked for being late).
It really pays to have such a great compressor.

Speedy help
I love my Campbell Hausefeld air compressor and 12" impact wrench...
I have to rotate my tires every 1,000 miles because they are low profile, 22" diameter, and very expensive.
It is usually a long and tiresome operation to rotate all 4 wheels every 4 weeks or so. With my impact wrench and compressor, I have been able to rotate all wheels with 5 lug nuts in just about under 25 minutes. (It used to take me an hour and a half or more to get the job done.)
This has given me a lot more time to build tables and chairs that I donate to a few local Boys and Girls clubs here in the Bay Area region.
I just can't thank my new tools enough for the fast and speedy help that they give me every 4 weeks.
Thanks again!

Street to Track
I use my compressor and air lug wrench to change out my street tires every Friday night, putting on my track wheels and tires.
Then, it's back to street tires Sunday night. Keep the speed on the track!
My compressor helps me do just that.

How to clean a wall- good advice
I have never had an easier time than I did with my air compressor and sand blaster. It made the time fly by and the job seemed easier.
There was no strain- the equipment did the job. Thank you!

Campbell Hausfeld 26-Gallon (Belt-Drive) 230-Volt Cast-Iron Air Compressor Review
The cats-meow of air compressors. This kitty is recommended for "in the garage", but it can easily double as a contractor-grade machine too.
Why so good? It features a 240-Volt cast-iron, twin-cylinder pump which produces a whopping 10.8 CFM!
In other words, it's powerful enough to run demanding grinders and sanders with no problem. You will need a special 240-Volt outlet for this machine to operate.
Campbell Hausfeld is so confident in the machine at it offers a three-year warranty -- much better than the competition.
If you want to do some serious autobody work in your garage or on the job site, get this one!
