Q: I am in Australia and was wondering about using this compressor over here. Do you know if it is compatible. Do you have the specs so that I can check with the electricians over here. Thanks for your help. by Cristos Zisopoulos on December 04, 2011

Steve's Recommendation
Ingersoll Rand has been a quality name since your grandfather's time- with good reason. Since 1905 they have been building tools that stand the test of time.
This unit earned our Better rating because it has more features than our Good choice- and the price is, not surprisingly, higher.
What you get for the money is a durable, reliable air compressor with high efficiency valves, air filters, and intercooler; along with OSHA compliant housing on the flywheel, belt and motor sheave.
An oversized belt wheel and bearings allow for continuous duty operation with less time off for wear and tear repairs.
Ingersoll Rand units might take a little longer to ship out than other brands, but we believe it's worth it since they pre-wire and thoroughly test each unit before it's crated up.

Love It!
I love this compressor. Of course I'm basing it off my experience with a 20 year old Sears Craftsman that's as loud as a Speed Boat.
Shipping wasn't as quick as I would have liked, but packaging was fine. It's quiet enough for me too.

Hard Time Wiring It In
Come to find out this particular compressor has a motor that is notorious for breaking, mostly due to over-powering the wiring for it.
I had to wire my own plug and whip on the compressor itself, still haven't wired 230v outlet for it in the garage, so I have yet to see how it performs.
I have however had a heck of a time trying to figure out how exactly to wire it, figured out that 10-2 wire is needed with a 30a 2 pole breaker and 30a/2p/3w plug and receptacle.
As far as shipping goes, it was AWESOME. It got here in about 3 days even though the order said 5-8, lift-gate service put it exactly where I wanted it. It was in perfect condition when I got it, though you could tell from the paint that some parts were refurbished.
The petcock drain valve was the first thing I replaced- with a street 90, 12" pipe and ball valve (all 1/2" NPT).
ACD RESPONDS: If the Owner's Manual doesn't have all the information you need, you can always call the folks at Ingersoll Tech Support, toll free, at (800) 866-5457.
The Factory Warranty covers your air compressor for 1 year from the day it was delivered. This should be plenty of time to reveal any defects in materials or workmanship- but improper wiring would not be covered.
Ingersoll Rand does not use any refurbished parts on their new units. Components are painted to match each unit's color scheme, but they are all new parts.

Love It!
I have had mine for 2+ years now and absolutely love it. It has not had a single issue.
The quality is awesome, it's powerful, quiet and durable. One of the best power tool investments I ever made.

Ingersoll Rand 5-hp 60-gallon Two-stage Air Compressor (230v 1-phase) Review
I like Ingersoll Rand compressors. I have one in my shop truck, its 15 years old service only 3 times and same drive belt.
This new one for the shop I like very much, so far no problems. The only thing that I don't like is the drain cock at the bottom.
I think that a 90 degree drain valve would be better than the screw type that it comes with. I well be changing that soon, other than that it is a very good compressor so far

Assembled In The Us
You advertise American made; the pump was made in India. I will never buy IR products again.
ACD RESPONDS: We advertise "Proudly built in the USA". This unit is assembled in the US from globally sourced components.
In order to qualify for "Made In The USA" at least 85% of the components need to be made in the US. We sell units that meet those requirements, such as Quincy; however they tend to be more expensive than globally sourced units.

Takes several weeks to deliver, but the compressor arrived well packaged and in good shape. Set up was no problem.
I opted for lift gate service which worked out great. It's the compressor I wanted and I have no complaints.

Some Issues At First
Well, I get it uncrated and oiled up, come to find out there is a hole in the pump casting. Also the ball valve is defective from the get go.
I found a servicing dealer approx 50 miles away and they replaced the pump since the part that is defective was back-ordered until October. So far, so good!
Many kudos to the service center that got me up and going again, A-L-L equipment in Moline, Illinois.
ACD RESPONDS: Ingersoll Rand tests each unit before it leaves their factory- we are so sorry this one got by their inspection! We are glad the warranty service folks took good care of you.

It's A Jewel
My Ingersoll Rand 60gal compressor arrived about ten days after the order was placed. It arrived on an eighteen wheeler. This prevented the driver from being able to drive up to the house. I used a tractor to carry it the 100 yards to my shop. Not a big deal, but it was kind of annoying because i payed the lift gate fee. This will be a problem for anyone who can't accommodate a large truck. Once you have it on a concrete surface it can easily be "walked" into place by one man.
The compressor is a jewel. It took only about 15 min to wire it up and another half hour to bolt it down. I wouldn't call it quiet, but hearing protection is definitely not needed. The portable compressor I was using before is much much louder. I did a timing belt job on a Honda Odyssey, and this thing made all the difference. A 1/2in impact wrench can't get ahead of this compressor. Its awesome.
One thing to remember, these don't come with oil. Ingersoll Rand wants the All Seasons Select for the waranty. I found it at a big box store.
ACD RESPONDS: If you click on the Shipping tab for this product, it specifically states that it ships via Semi-Truck. On the same page it says Lift Gate Service "safely lowers products off the truck".
Trucks with lift gates are more expensive, which is what the extra fee is for. Semi-trucks without lift gates are better suited to loading docks, and are less expensive to use. That's why we say "If you have a loading dock or forklift, you do NOT need liftgate service".
If you click on the Learn More link, it explains that units weighing more than 100 pounds are curb side delivery; you are responsible for getting the products from the curb to your garage.
We know we pack a lot of information on each page- it's a good idea to click on all the tabs so you get the whole picture.

Excellent Quality & Delivery
I received my air compressor and find it of excellent quality and the delivery service was also excellent.
I would recommend this product and Air Compressors Direct to my friends and others. I am looking forward to more and more projects including painting the car that I am restoring with my new compressor.
Thank you for your great service.

Bad Emerson Motors
I owned and used lightly for four years. Electric motor shelled. Ingersoll will not do anything. New motor $430!!! Had a $300
Craftsman 30 gallon doing same work for same time and it still runs. Do not waste your money on this brand. Just check forums
out and you will hear same story on Emerson motors and IR compressors.

Air For Smoking Pipe Maker
Overall the compressor fills my needs completely. It runs the blast cabinet well and is very easy to use.
The motor is fairly quiet and the compressor builds up pressure quickly. The only issue is the manual - it stinks. For the compressor ignorant, it is a job trying to figure out the details of wiring, connections, etc.
Overall a nice compressor for a fair price.
I blast briar wood - I am a smoking pipe maker. It runs the cabinet well with continuous use and delivers the minimum pressure needed for this application.

Good Compressor Performance
I have been using air powered tools for over fifty years and am very pleased with the Ingersoll Rand I purchased from Air Compressors Direct.
It works just fine, I think it will be a little more efficient after it gets broke in, it provides all the air I need.
The service from this supplier is very satisfactory.

Thanks, Ir
I am continuing my review.for the 2340l5 air compressor.
Two days after the first review I received the air filter assembly. At start-up I noticed air hissing- there was a 1/4 " plug missing from the regulator switch, so I put one in it.
I've been using it for a week now, and it works real well so far.
Ingersoll Rand was helpful getting the replacement air filter assembly to me quickly- THANKS IR.
I am also using All-season Select oil.

Air Filter Damaged
I received the air compressor 4/16/10 after the carrier missed two appointments. The air cleaner is damaged; the damage was not visible at delivery.
I called Air Compressors Direct and was told a replacement air filter would be sent. I can't use it until it arrives. I will continue this review when I can use it.
ACD RESPONDS: The folks at Ingersoll have already ordered a replacement air filter for you.We sent the request to Ingersoll the same day you contacted us on 4/23; it took a few days to work through the Ingersoll system.
