Love the compressor but found the EXACT same compressor at a big box store for less money. I thought I would get some satisfaction when I brought it up to Air Compressors Direct but they said they could do nothing for me.

ACD RESPONDS: Your previous review said the unit was a Husky brand model; since we don't carry that line we can't verify if the units are an exact match or not; we also don't know Husky's pricing structure. If the other unit had been a Campbell Hausfeld VT6275, we may have been able to help you. Other retail industries (like mattresses & electronics) work the same way- price matching has to be for the exact same make & model.

We offer the best prices we can every day; for many folks (except for those in NH and other states with no sales tax) not having to pay sales tax or shipping can add up to substantial savings.

I purchased this compressor approximately 5-6 months ago, and the compressor has worked out great.

I already had a 240v outlet available, so no additional wiring was necessary. I simply placed the compressor where I wanted it, borrowed a hammer drill, and drilled the pilot holes for the anchor bolts. No problems with placing the anchor bolts. Once the holes were drilled I did place rubber padded steel plates to reduce the vibration and stress on the feet of the compressor.

I believe these were an additional $12 which is not terrible, and well worth the cost. I did have to buy a power cord (seems odd that it wasn't included) which added another $15-20 to the total price and was easily installed in approximately 5 minutes.

The directions for the compressor leave much to be desired, but most if not all of the setup is self explanatory. I simply plugged in the unit and fired it up. It has worked without any trouble since day one. I love this compressor.

I have worked on cars using impact wrenches, air ratchets, and air drills without any problems. I also paint using this compressor and it keeps up easily with my hvlp spray gun.

I can't say enough good things about this compressor.

Wow, I love this compressor! It can handle anything I throw at it, including cutoff tools and auto painting, and doesn’t miss a beat.

Airflow is excellent, and given the outstanding results thus far, I could not justify the added expense of going with a two-stage model, even though they do run a bit cooler.

That being said, installation is not for the novice, thus maybe a 2-star rating for ease of use, and the installation manual is really sad.

In the case of this compressor, you are going to need to install a 240v breaker, dedicated line from breaker to compressor, anchor the compressor to the floor, and plumb from the tank out, including a pressure regulator (not provided) for the line pressure.

The cost however, even with the added expense, makes it one heck of a bargain.
