Ingersoll Rand 5-HP 60-Gallon Single-Stage Air Compressor (230V 1-Phase)

Did not come with oil for the compressor motor.

For as long as I can remember Ingersoll Rand was the "good stuff". " You want high quality, you get Ingersoll Rand".

I ordered my SS5L5 3 years ago and paid a little extra for the start up kit that added a year to the 1 year warranty. It worked like a champ until the last couple weeks. Then the pump starts knocking and trips the breaker. I never ran it very hard or long and kept the oil and filter changed,but now the pump is shot.

I replaced a 20 year old Campbell Hausfield unit with this one and now wish I hadn't. This one was much more powerful, but 3 years- c'mon!

I haven't talked to anyone about a replacement pump yet but it's not gonna be cheap. I'm very disappointed and plan to relate my experience to all the guys I work with at Michelin Tire (37 years).

No more Ingersoll Rand for me.

I bought this compressor based on good reviews and the Ingersoll Rand name. The pump lasted 22 months of light residential use.

Now I look around and the reviews are terrible. Many problems with the pumps. Mine is still under warranty and Ingersoll Rand is supposed to be sending me a new pump. Wonder how long this one will last. I would not buy Ingersoll Rand again.

We bought the Ingersoll Rand 5 hp 60 gal single stage for our metal fabrication business. When this unit was purchased we were a small operation with only one person running die grinders at a 30% cycle ( 3 minutes out of 10 ). About a week after we purchased the compressor we noticed that it would shut off and we would need to wait 5-10 min for it to cool and push the reset button. The compressor is stored out doors in a small shed with no door on the shed (we also took air temperatures inside & outside the enclosed area with only a small increase in temperature in the shed ).

When we first started having issues it was in the middle of the summer and assumed it was the heat of the summer. We are now in winter and had some days where it was 20 deg. F. and now have a fan blowing on the motor. Same result, we checked the motor oil, air filter, and the electrical wiring.

We contacted Ingersoll Rand for warranty repair and were told that we would be billed $450 for a tech to come look at it, if it was a warranty item we would be refunded. If Ingersoll says we are over using the unit we would be out the $450+ parts & labor. I would advise against anyone purchasing this unit. The compressor is not being over used, there is only one person running air lines at a light duty.

The heat build up from the motor is so bad that it has burned the label off the reset button and turned our air line coming out of the machine brown. DO NOT BUY!!

ACD RESPONDS: Factory Warranties cover defect in materials & workmanship; they don't cover any problems with installation, wiring, or wear and tear.

If you're confident that the problem is with the unit, there should be no problem asking for the Warranty service call.

When my unit was about 2 years old the pressure valve went to hell, now about 1 1/2 years later it's going bad again. Other than this problem the unit has worked well.

You would think they would come up with a better pressure valve with others having similar problems. The pressure valves aren't cheap. I bought my compressor at a chain store.

Bought mine 4 years ago from a chain store. I got it because of the high CFM at 90 psi. I didn't want to spend more money for a two stage with less CFM.

Once the air in your tank is gone, CFM is everything. Works great for my bead blaster. I don't think anything is going to tax an air compressor more than a sand or bead blaster.

I am very impressed with this product. Nice and quiet also.

The only downfall was, for a grand, it didn't come with a filter or regulator.

I bought mine several years ago. It ran great for about 2 months and then I had to replace the pump, a year later a new pressure switch, next year another pressure switch, and now the pump is making noise again.

The pressure release valve also went bad after 2 years. I have had mine for only 4 years, and I am not happy with it at all. The only good thing on it is the motor.

I opened a new auto repair shop and the compressor runs tools 8 hrs a day. Have had it 4 months and no complaints.

I feel it was a great purchase.

Air Compressor's Direct has the best price and great service.

I bought my SS5L5 going on 9 years ago. Never had any issue with it.

As mentioned great for a small shop or a serious home user.
