Motor Starter Cap Failure After 3 Months New
By Aaron E. 
Huntertown, Indiana
Purchased 01/20/2018 | 
Review Posted 08/03/2018 
The Starter Cap on the Motor went out about 3 months after it was installed and used. I went to my local Electric motor Starter cap supplier and got one that fit the specs on the motor plate and it works fine again. Overall took me about an hour to troubleshoot diagnose and replace the part. 2 hours running around to stores searching for the part and 40 dollars for the part. I didn't bother with trying to send a warranty claim due to the fact that I don't have the time to deal with it, but have to get my plant up and running again.

**Motor Went Out In Less Than A Month!**
By Michael M. 
Mount Horeb, Wisconsin
Purchased 02/06/2018 | 
Review Posted 04/03/2018 
Compressor seemed to be built with good quality components but failed on me in less than a month of use. I purchased the single phase unit and the motor had a failure and has to now be replaced. Definitely not what you would expect from a 5 thousand dollar unit.

Rotary Screw 240 VAC 1ph 5hp 53 Gallon 200 Liter Air Compressor
By Aaron E. 
Huntertown, Indiana
Purchased 01/20/2018 | 
Review Posted 02/20/2018 
This air compressor is excellent. Operation is simple and provides good quality air. It would be nice to vary the auto drain time interval.
This is about half as loud as my old 5hp piston compressor. As a note, this compressor does come with oil already topped off.
