Q: Having read the reviews of both the Quincy and IR units I am preparing to purchase the Quincy. Looking at accessories I see the IR unit has a 1/2" installation kit, would that be a good addition to the Quincy unit as well. Also, what all is provided with the unit to get it up and running on arrival. Thanks. by Terry Martinson from Iowa on October 31, 2011
A: Since this is a 230V unit your electrician will need to wire it into your power system.
It comes with a 2 year factory warranty, but if you register the unit with Quincy and use their Maintenance Kit every year you can extend your factory warranty to 5 years!
You may want to consider an air distribution system to make the most of your new compressor. The MaxLine system is meant for larger compressors and buildings; here is the link to take a look: RapidAir MaxLine Air System. by Steve, Product Expert

Steve's Recommendation
It was a tough choice to slot Better and Best. Quincy has been around a while, too- since 1924. With that much practice, like our Better pick, you can get really good at building a quality product.
They both have high efficiency parts, are built for continuous duty, industrial use, and are ASME certified. And, both are built in the US of A.
What bumped Quincy into the top spot was the 50,000 hour- or more- pump life rating. You will spend more money up front, but in the long run (some Quincy air compressors are still running after 25 years!) it will be money well spent.

Overall I'm happy...
Overall I'm happy with the compressor, just not very happy with the wait time I had before it was delivered. I ordered on Dec. 23rd and the compressor was finally delivered on Jan. 27th. When it was originally ordered I was told it was about 7-10 days before delivery which was acceptable. Over a month is not acceptable in my opinion as I had to eat down time while I waited for it to show up.
It was delivered by a very professional company and brought right into my shop where it needed to go. It was crated very nice and took a good bit of work to get it unloaded off the pallet. No shipping damage and works great.
ACD RESPONDS: We are sorry for the inconvenience! We post delivery times according to what the manufacturers tell us. We update our website, and let our customers know regularly by email, about any delays as we find out about them.

Quincy+ACD=Winning
After having a Quincy at the shop, i decided i needed one for my home as well. This compressor may be called the Economy Series but it is by far the best bang for your money.
The motor is a solid Baldor unit and the pump is a cast iron 4 cylinder. The tank could be bigger but that really isn't a deterring factor. I have mine run in series to another 35 gallon tank and the pump doesn't kick on as much.
The noise level is bearable and the duty cycle isn't nuts. The pump compresses the air extremely fast and the cfm supports the use of 3 air grinders at once. Also the famous Quincy blue paint is beautiful.
On the downside, the pressure switch isn't as solid as i would like and as others have said, it is very tight. I also have a slight air leak in a few of the fittings on the pump. Other then that, this compressor is as solid as they get.

Glad I chose the Quincy
Before I purchased my Quincy Air Compressor I read all the reviews and did a lot of internet research as to which Air Compressor would BEST SUIT my needs. Glad I chose the Quincy 2V41C60VC.
I will have to agree with a few comments that other included in their review concerning the pressure switch box for the power splice box. Gets a little tight to say the least.
Also retorgueing the compressor heads bolts after the 100 hour break-in period is going to be interesting because or the positioning of the coolant lines.
I can live with these small design faults and look forward to many years of service from my Quincy.

I purchased this unit about 4 months ago. It was delivered in a couple of weeks and set up was easy. I did not receive a maintenance kit that I ordered with it. However, I called and one was sent out immediately.
The service was very good and the Quincy definitely meets my expectations. I am a gunsmith and use the compressor quite often doing sand blasting.
I highly recommend this unit to anyone needing a medium duty shop compressor. Don't let the Economy Line mislead you. It might be Quincy's Economy Line but it would be the top of the line from many of the other suppliers.

Great Compressor
I received this compressor a couple weeks ago - delivered in perfect condition - Air Compressors Direct was great to deal with - no hassle - and no issues.
The compressor runs smooth, fairly quiet, and no vibration. I believe it really will last a lifetime for me.
Some comments I have that I intend to forward on to Quincy....
1) The wiring hookup should be simpler - should be just like hooking up an electric dryer. Instead of just buying a dryer cord to hook it up and making 3 terminal connections, you have to use a wire nut on one connection and the electric switch box is so small it makes a 5 minute task into a 30 min task.
2) Quincy recommends that after a one hour initial run, that you re-torque the head bolts. That would be a simple task except for the fact that they run the inter-cooler line right over the top of the 4 rear head bolts - not a good design there - makes 2 of those 4 rear bolts almost impossible to re-torque. Somebody was not thinking.
3) The specs for this compressor say it has a three-quarter in air outlet - not true - it is a one half in. So if you have a three-quarter in connection waiting to hook it up to - surprise - you will have to fit in a reducer.
One last comment - this may be true of other brands also - Quincy recommends a 100 hour - no load break-in to seat the rings. So don't plan to use it immediately if you want to follow the procedure.
ACD RESPONDS: Thank you for letting us know about the air outlet size- we have corrected the website to reflect a 1/2" NPT outlet.

Some disappointment
I was a little disappointed to see that when the compressor arrived the factory manual was labelled in large letters that this is their economy version.
Air Compressors Direct recommended it and said you pay a littler more now but worth it in the long run. Just felt a little weird but hoping the compressor lives up to their name.
ACD RESPONDS: Rest assured, your air compressor is built in the USA to last. Quincy has a complete line of air compressors up to and including huge industrial units. They put the same care and attention into the smallest unit as they do their largest.
We believe that Quincy's economy line is equal or better than many manufacturer's top of the line units, proven by their track record since 1920.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give the folks at Quincy a call at (217) 277-0270.
