After Limited Use, I Am Impressed.

I was looking for a compressor to replace my old single stage that died after 27 years. I looked at all the big names and all but one used parts from other countries, so I figured I would give Mega a try. So far, I am very impressed. The unit arrived quickly, packaged well on a sturdy pallet. No scratches or dings on anything. Best I can tell, the tank is made in USA, the motor is made in Brazil (Weg), and I can’t find where the pump is made. It is assembled in USA. Everything about this compressor is heavy duty.
The good:
Fit and finish are very good.
1700 rpm motor is relatively quiet with a more pleasant low tone than a 3400 rpm unit.
Mega support answered my questions promptly via email.

The bad:
Not a lot of info in the manual. The pictures for hooking up the mag starter do not match the one shipped with the unit. Also, there is no exploded parts diagram or parts list in the manual or on their site (I have not been able to locate it).

No instructions for adjusting the kick on/kick off pressure. While researching this online, it appears they have used the cheapest pressure switch available and I cannot find a manual for it either. I know it’s not rocket science, but it should have been in the manual.

I would highly recommend this to anyone that I know. It's loud but not as loud as I thought it was going to be. It was packaged very well. Has plenty of power for my sandblasting cabinet!

Mega 80 Gal Compressor
By Chet M. 
Kansas
Purchased 12/01/2024 | 
Review Posted 02/12/2025 
I had an older 5 hp 60 gallon compressor that was very loud and could not keep up with the demands of running autobody tools. Grinders and DA sanders were difficult to use. Not to mention it was very loud. This new compressor is quick to build pressure and runs anything I hook up to it. This compressor is a beast I absolutely love it so far. Shipping was fast and easy. Came well crated no damage whatsoever!!! Would absolutely recommend this compressor if you need a big capable compressor and don’t want to spend $3500.

I bought this compressor because the price point was good and high CFM rating. It works well and plan to use it for a long time.
