Replacement Air Compressor
By Doug T.
New Hampshire
Purchased 02/26/2025 |
Review Posted 03/20/2025
I am a car restoration hobbyist and ordered this air compressor in late Feb 2025 to replace a 20+year old failed unit (different brand). Unit was delivered in a little over 1 week. Delivery person was very helpful in getting the unit into my garage. Did need to partially open crate to clear standard garage door opening but did just fit. Unit started right up, works fine. Haven't figured out how to get it off the pallet yet, but pallet is rugged enough that it may be a permanent thing. Happy with the purchase and sales support from Air Compressor Direct. Looking forward to many hours of sandblasting and painting with this compressor.

Great Compressor
By John D.
Connecticut
Purchased 12/30/2024 |
Review Posted 01/21/2025
Compressor runs great and is pretty quiet for a piston compressor. Coming with the ball valves for continuous run and the main shut off valve is really nice.
I don’t really like the pressure switch set up. There’s very little room behind the switch to install a FMC elbow. Would be nice if it was a different orientation or had bottom knockouts instead of back knockouts. The switch works as it should though.
Overall the performance is great and I’m happy so far. It is a tiny bit louder than expected but I expect once I get it rigid mounted to vibration isolators it’ll quiet down a little.

Compared to my old 60-gallon compressor this thing is a beast! Double the cfm, Double the weight, and super quiet. It's expensive but everything is USA and heavy duty.

Emax 5 HP 80 Gal 230V Is A Nice Upgrade
By Kenneth F.
Louisiana
Purchased 06/05/2024 |
Review Posted 08/01/2024
Overall this is a very nice unit.
Few complaints on my part one being the description says it has a magnetic starter which it doesn’t and about a week after I purchased my compressor, the price dropped about $350 bucks.
That would have more than covered my purchase of the “lifetime compressor warranty oil/filters combo. Potential buyers hopefully are doing their research when comparing this type of compressor to the ones from a big box store. This is a substantial upgrade from anything like those somewhat disposable compressors. It is designed to run truly all day with its full oil pressure system that’s even adjustable to the nonstandard style intake valves system that allows for continuous run/ cooling also has full cast iron everything.
The entire compressor, motor, cooling chambers and flywheels are all cast iron. Even the flywheel/motor pulley are held on to their much larger than normal shafts with a true split locking system that is vibration-free and bulletproof. And it is very amazing how much quieter this compressor is vs a typical box store reciprocating unit.
Wish the power switch was truly a magnetic starter as described and I could have purchased it at a reduced price but all in all hopefully I do believe this compressor will perform well and last me for many years to come. Wish I would have found this unit before wasting my money on several box store brands over the last few decades. Nice purchase. I plan on buying the extended warranty/oil and filters as finances become available.

We are sorry to hear that the listing had the wrong description on it. The 5Hp single phase is the only unit that we don't use a magnetic starter on, so there must have been cross marketing information. We do apologize for this. We are happy to hear that you are still happy with the purchase and know you will have it for years to come. Welcome to the EMAX family!
