Review Posted 02/21/2015
I purchased mine remanufactured 6 years ago and it's still running strong.
Runs all my air tools I use for big and small repair jobs. Good to know that, if it quits on me, there are repair parts out there.

Review Posted 08/09/2010
Great product until it died after one year. Just quit. No whimper or groans, nothing. DEAD!!!
ACD RESPONDS: It could be something simple, like a blown fuse in the unit. Why don't you try giving the folks at Hitachi a call, toll free, at (866) 775-9429?
They will be happy to walk through a troubleshooting checklist with you; and if it hasn't been quite a year you may be eligible for warranty repair if it's needed.
