Review Posted 05/05/2019
I am not sure when I purchased this air compressor, but the date on the tank says 2000, so about 19 years ago! I purchased it brand new at a tent tool sale. In the 19 +/- years that I have owned it, the only thing I have had to do, other than general maintenance is replacing the switch and the pressure relief valve!! One of the best purchases I have ever made!

Nice and Quiet...But....

Review Posted 03/30/2016
I purchased the PK5020 DEC 2013....Motor has always run well .....But the tank has developed 8 - 10 pin holes ....And yes I have an automatic draining system AND a manual ball valve drain that both work fine.
Called ACD and was told call Puma and was told sorry but your out of luck...I even offered to buy a replacement tank...But they are made in Taiwan (oh now I get It) and for a replacement tank it would be as much as buying a new compressor......

I am sorry your air tank developed pin holes; I understand your frustration. Everything we sell has a Factory Warranty against defects in material and workmanship, so during the warranty period we refer folks to the Factory. If there are issues where we can work with the manufacturer to assist we are happy to- but unfortunately we can't make them extend their warranty.
To help with situations like yours, extended warranties sold by a separate company are now available for products over $100, but we didn't have access to them when you bought your unit in 2013.
We sell replacement air receivers but so far we haven't been able to source any with wheels as a direct replacement for yours- we will keep looking!
We appreciate your business, and sincerely apologize for your disappointment.

Key Went Out
By Stan
Montgomery, Michigan
Purchased 12/16/2014 |
Review Posted 10/23/2015
We used the compressor about two hours and it began to make a strange noise. Upon checking, the drive pulley was loose and wallowed out.
The key had come out allowing the pulley to slip on the motor shaft. The set screw also dug into the shaft. I had another pulley that fit so we are able to use it. The key lay in the bottom of the guard.

This unit comes with a 1 year Factory Warranty from the folks at Puma. While calling them as soon as you had the problem 10 months ago would have been best, your Factory Warranty is good until 1/6/16.
You may want to give the folks at Puma a call at (901) 744-7979 for any parts you need. Please have the serial number of the compressor handy when you call- they will ask for it. You can print a copy of your invoice if you need one, by using the My Account link in the upper right corner of our webpage and following the prompts.

Delivery, could have been a heck of a lot better
By Kelsey S.
Auberry, California
Purchased 04/14/2015 |
Review Posted 04/27/2015
I received my compressor this afternoon, but I was not happy at what I saw. The container was laying on its side in the middle of the truck, it had not been secured to prevent falling over. The box was damaged, and the compressor, when I finally opened the box, was covered with oil.
The driver made some comment about a rough road. Any idiot should have seen that a box that is narrow and tall with fall over just by going around a turn if it was not secured. I finally cleaned it up and followed the checkout instructions. I filled it with the proper compressor oil and gave it the 5 minute run in.
I closed the valve and fired it up, and it took 5 minutes to reach 135 psi. It shut off, and I let it sit for 30 minutes. The pressure dropped about 3 pounds. It is now 4 hours later and the pressure is sitting at 130 pounds. This could be due to cooling the compressed air rather than a leak. I will recheck it in the morning.
The instructions on how to set it up and use it are nonexistent. The putting it into running condition was easy. Two wheels with bolt axles, two screw on filters (one for each cylinder), and the handle which bolted on. I have not attempted to use this unit with any tools yet, so I cannot speak to its suitability.

PUMA - Well Made!
By Robert M.
Los Osos, California
Purchased 11/22/2014 |
Review Posted 12/13/2014
This compressor is very well made, solid, with heavy gage metal used foir the motor/compressor plate and the pulley/belt guard. Big two horse motor that I just finished wiring for 220V, much quieter than the old Speedaire, it's replacing. Made in Taiwan and a much better manufacturing base than China, any day! This is a quality unit at a very reasonable price.

Puma Compressor
By Owen P.
Walnut Creek, California
Purchased 08/13/2014 |
Review Posted 09/29/2014
My son and I started looking at 20 compressors and finally narrowed it down to the Puma Key for us was the 110 power. Although 220 is not a problem in our garage we were concerned about using it in other locations and liked the flexibility of 110 power.
The compressor arrived within the week, well package on a skid. Assembly took 10 minutes and then a trip to the hardware store for a quart of non detergent 30 weight oil. The compressor is quiet reaches its designated pressure quickly and is a joy to use.
So far no problems using it with automotive and woodworking tasks.

Review Posted 01/27/2011
I started painting with an HVLP after many requests for customers to paint. It can barely keep up, and needs to rest every few minutes during continual use, which is to be expected for this size compressor.
Now, that's nearly the only reason I've given it a 4-star rating. The other is that the drain valve is difficult to reach, and even if you reach it, it's still impossible to get anything to collect the water under there. That said, I have no other qualms.
I wrote the review on this site nearly two years ago (March 16, 2009) and am now in the market for a larger compressor. I am very proud of my little Puma, which was a CHAMP, and still runs strong despite commercial shop use 5 days a week. It ran grinders, large nail guns, ratchets, and of course the HVLP gun.
I would recommend this for professional carpenters (which is what I am), small garage mechanics, and for portable applications where a larger compressor is not possible.
I would recommend this compressor. It stays very dry, looses very little oil, and something I feel like I can count on starting every time.
