Eagle 3-HP 20-Gallon (Belt Drive) Cast-Iron Air Compressor

Received my compressor today. After un-crating and assembling I put it to work. High quality components make this Eagle a very reliable compressor.

This unit was bought to replace a similar model from another manufacturer. The extra features and quality of the Eagle compressor far surpassed the other product.

Product was shipped even faster than advertised. Is a little quieter than the one it replaced.

We put a lot of demand on this unit in an industrial environment and so far it has met that demand without excessive cycling.

Haven't had best experience so far with this compressor. First one that was originally bought seized right away trying to break it in. Second one I haven't used all too much maybe 5-10 times in about 7 months.

Just fired it up to blow a filter for the shop vac out and heard a hissing noise coming from compressor and it wouldn't stop running, found the back head gasket leaking- now trying to find receipt for warranty again... less than a year old.

I'm not going to say the compressor is junk because well, it's not. I understand there's always things that fail especially as I'm a mechanic; however it's annoying, haven't had the best luck so far.

Great air compressor for the money of a 110V variety. I searched and could only find two 110V air compressors made in the USA. The Campbell Hausfeld was a little less expensive but it did not have pneumatic wheels and I liked the looks of the Eagle Air-compressor better.

When it arrived it was packaged well and was in good condition. Although, when I started it up the belt cover rattled badly. Just a tweek with a liitle bend to get it back into shape fixed the noise no problem. The wheels after install were loose, also, and after a couple of trips to the local hardware store that was easily solved. They just looked bad with negative camber and woobled a bit.

Now it looks great in the garage and has not let me down yet.

Unit arrived and was packaged great. The 5 bolts that hold the fan/belt cover on was loose. Looks like someone in assembly was asleep. The shoulder bolts for the wheels are the wrong length. The 5/8" dia. is too long. I added two washers to take-up the slack.

ACD RESPONDS: If you have questions or concerns about the bolts on your air compressor, please give the folks at Eagle a call, toll free, at 800-551-2406.

I have had this unit well over 5yrs now. Other than replacing a switch that burnt once after the 4th yr, witch I know was common in past units and on most other brands as they used same brand of switches, it's been great to me.

Due to my bad eyesight, I updated to bigger easy to see gauges then too, this compressors been absolutely rock solid since day one.

Make sure to drain its tank regularly to keep from rusting and these tanks will last & last too. Heavier than box store models so thicker tank steel no doubt there. It stays on 24/7 and is very airtight and rarely runs when not in use.

Twin cylinder pump fills tank fast enough so wait time is minimal if ever as I use IR impact, grinder/cutting wheel & air ratchet tools with ease but a DA sander/polisher you will wait to fill a lot of course, so if you do that buy a much bigger tank.

It's been a damn good unit and I'd buy another Eagle/Wood Industries compressor again in a minute if it failed today. Thank all you folks at Woods/Eagle!!

Parts like valves,rings, bearings etc..are always available with this brand too unlike most now that force you to buy complete pumps. Make sure you watch for throwaway pumps when buying most brands now, if you want parts if needed. I know some would rather toss/replace a pump instead, but not me, I'm old school.

I brag on this unit all the time, I'm proud of it, my Eagle works hard for me.

This compressor is well made and heavier than I expected. The pneumatic tires make moving it about fairly easy. It pumps up fast and is not too noisy. The belt guard is plastic and needs a brace support on the cylinder end, as it vibrates and may eventually break.

This unit does not come with a hose or any accessories. The wheels come with mounting hardware but there are not enough washers to mount them properly so that they don't wobble.

The compressor arrived on time and in good shape. Getting the tires on was somewhat difficult due to the weight of the compressor and required jacking up the unit with blocks so that the tires could be attached. As previously noted by other buyers, the tires have a little play due to the axle being a little too long, but for me that is no problem.

One of the gauges stuck, and a call to the manufacturer in Mississippi quickly solved the problem - they sent me a complete new set of gauges and regulator for the compressor - great service !!

I would recommend this compressor and this manufacturer without hesitation.

It took a little longer than expected for the delivery of the compressor, but the compressor was delivered in great shape!

The instructions for the compressor that came with the product was very limited and could use more information. My only complaint with the compressor is the wheel assembly the wheels need a better washer setup because there is so much play (wobble) in the wheels. This isn't an issue if you're not going to be moving the compressor often, but if you are, you may want to add spacers for the wheels!

Overall, I happy with the purchase, have not had to use customer service so I have no comments related to interacting with customer service.

Compressor is very well made and I like that it's made in the United States.
