For as long as I can remember Ingersoll Rand was the "good stuff". " You want high quality, you get Ingersoll Rand".
I ordered my SS5L5 3 years ago and paid a little extra for the start up kit that added a year to the 1 year warranty. It worked like a champ until the last couple weeks. Then the pump starts knocking and trips the breaker. I never ran it very hard or long and kept the oil and filter changed,but now the pump is shot.
I replaced a 20 year old Campbell Hausfield unit with this one and now wish I hadn't. This one was much more powerful, but 3 years- c'mon!
I haven't talked to anyone about a replacement pump yet but it's not gonna be cheap. I'm very disappointed and plan to relate my experience to all the guys I work with at Michelin Tire (37 years).
No more Ingersoll Rand for me.
