Review Posted 10/09/2022
I see someone had the same issue with the piston. Plastic has deteriorated and cylinder wall is severely scored. Engineers need to correct this as I see this being the downfall for this compressor. Otherwise, it would be great. Not that old and low hours.

i bought this unit so I could keep my motorcycle's tires properly inflated. Perfect for the job.
A bit loud during operation but earplugs are an easy fix.

Very pleased with the compressor. Attachments that come with it, hose etc, will get you started but you will want to buy new ones of better quality.

Waited to write a reveiw
By Stephen E.

Review Posted 05/27/2014
Purchased back in September after my small portable inflator died. I wanted something with more power to blow up my car tires and do a quicker job then the old inflator I had and this compressor worked great.
I went out and purchased some more attachments for the unit to blow up pool inflatables etc. It works great, my kids loved how fast it blew up their pool toys. No more hand pump needed to blow up the pool inflatables and the kids are not standing and waiting anymore.

Nice little unit

Review Posted 12/30/2013
Nice little unit. As I said above, the hose should be constructed with some heavier duty material. The first one I had began leaking at the connector point to the tank. I found a replacement at a local chain store with no problem.
