Quincy QT Pro 5-HP 60-Gallon Two-Stage Air Compressor (230V 1-Phase)

Very satisfied with the compressor and Air Compressors Direct. Save money, buy from them, and buy Quincy.... buy American.

Well I was happy with my choice in Quincy but that has since changed. As noted in the previous review there were a number of quality control issues with my compressor. Today as i write this a service technician is working on the unit.

The replacement parts that were sent to them are painted with the old Quincy blue and the large nut on the tank that is leaking is being replaced with a new seal and each part that is getting knarled up by plyers is getting spray painted with you guessed it.... the old Quincy blue.

This is complete B.S. I have not even used my compressor yet and it looks like a 10 year old fixed up Quincy.

Air Compressor Direct, please fix this or take the product back.

The Quincy QT-Pro compressor was delivered sooner than predicted. It arrived in perfect condition and, after the first week, I couldn’t be more satisfied. The lift gate service was essential and proved its worth at a very reasonable price. The Quincy was crated in a manner befitting the compressor “inside”.

It took more time to uncrate the compressor than it took to get it up-and-running. Quiet? Sure. Why not? It is significantly quieter than the clattering, leaking antique it replaced and the “screaming” oil-less “buzz bomb” compressor before that makes this new Quincy seem almost “silent” by comparison. A good experience all around and Made in the U.S.A. to boot. Who knew? :)

Arrived on time. Crated well. Set up easy with my cherry picker. Bolted to floor with hockey pucks for cushions. Very quiet and is more than adequate to run all my air tools and pair guns.

Glad I spent the extra $$ and did my research. BUY AMERICAN!

I had to replace a 15 year old 30 gallon oil-free compressor that's too small for my current needs. I agonized over what compressor to buy, read reviews and forum postings and articles and came close to buying a few times before I settled on the one thing that made more sense than anything--buying a Made-in-USA compressor that would probably outlive me, the Quincy QT-54 (2V41C60VC).

Delivery was nearly painless, thanks to a friendly driver who helped me move it up my sloping driveway and into my garage shop. The Quincy came in a well-built open wooden crate described by my driver as "one of the nicest crates I've seen in thirty years of driving truck."

Installation was straightforward, but revealed a design flaw that keeps this model from being perfect. Quincy equipped this QT-54 with an electrically undersized pressure switch. Condor, the switch manufacturer, only rates it for maximum 4hp and 26 amps. While the current rating is barely sufficient for the 5hp Baldor motor (nameplate says 21 amps), the switch is operating at or beyond its design ratings and will die sooner than expected.

Calculations based on the NEC show my installation required #8 AWG wire to meet code, but the Condor switch is labelled for up to #10 AWG. The switch terminals provided no room for oversized wire, and it took some creative engineering to connect the wire in a way that would pass an inspector's eye. Clearly this model should have either a pressure switch with higher ratings or a magnetic starter.

I have only one other complaint: The crankcase doesn't have a sight glass to check oil level. The pump has a dipstick that fits so tight it's hard to remove, usually requiring a screwdriver to pry it out. This makes checking the oil level much more difficult than it should be.

Still, even with those flaws, the QT-54 is a fabulous machine. It runs quieter than expected, thanks to a well-balanced pump and precision machining. Everything came from the factory well-adjusted and not a single bolt loosened in transit. There's not a better compressor for the money than this Quincy.

I received the compressor and it was crated very well. The driver was very helpful on the unloading and I have completed the break in period.

I have mostly used the compressor for sand blasting and with my 1/2" impact gun on a Bronco rebuild. It has not skipped a beat and I have had plenty of air.

It blows my old Pro-Air compressor away and is much quieter. I gave it 4 Stars for value since it is more expensive than other comparable compressors.

However, So Far So Good!

My purchase was made out of need for increased volume. I owned a single stage for twenty years that served me well but would not produce enough air to perform normal duty cycles, it just ran constantly when demand was high.

After a good amount of research I chose the Quincy. I was pleased with my purchase and was very happy with how quiet the Quincy is.

i chose the Quincy because of the the better pump life. I figured for a few hundred more dollars you get a 50,000 hour pump life and a 2 year extended warranty. I noticed when I received my compressor it had just been built! so That maybe why it takes 2-3 weeks to receive, which is fine with me.

This compressor will last me a life time. I've had it now for about 2 months and I only have 3 hours of run time on it. ( I installed a 230v hour meter to keep track for maintains purposes). So far it's performed very well. My only complaint which is a minor one is that the belt/pull cage rattles and make a lot of noise.

I have only used the compressor a few times so far, but it appears to be a quality unit. I really like the easily accessible drain valve. It is relatively quiet, compared to the 17 year old Campbell Hausfield unit that it replaced.

The compressor came securely attached to a heavy duty pallet, and had a heavy duty crate around it. I'm glad I paid for lift gate service, since it was a residential delivery and I have a steep driveway. My neighbor used his small tractor and a sling to lift the unit off the pallet and set it in the corner of the garage.

I do a lot of garage projects that use compressed air tools. This compressor is outstanding and a big improvement over my 15 year old oil-less compressor. Much more quiet making it easier to share the work space.

Also, with the 60 gallon tank, it recycles much less frequently than my old compressor. The quality of the QT-54 is outstanding. Easy to wire-up and connect to my existing distribution piping.

My old air compressor had been in storage for several years, when I hooked it up the bottom blew out. I decided to purchase a quality air compressor, I wanted one made in the USA with quality parts and a 100% duty cycle. I did a great deal of research, put a lot of miles on the truck checking out local retail stores in attempt to find what I wanted. No luck!

Based on my research, many comparisons and reading I don't know how many reviews I chose the Quincy. It is all I wanted in an air compressor and more, really excited about the Baldor electric motor. Air Compressors Direct had free shipping, no tax and the best price I could find, and believe me I looked everywhere.

This Quincy arrived quickly, it was packed securely, and I got it in record time. The pump was full of oil, instructions were clear, wired it up easily as they even included the wire terminals. I followed the instructions and ran it unloaded for an hour to break it in then shut it down cooled it off and re-torqued the head bolts. The air compressor is very quiet, recovers quickly, great CFM and it's a two stage - just what the doctor ordered.

I added an hour meter to aid with the maintenance schedule, an automatic tank drain to take care of that corrosion problem I had with my old tank. I really like the fact that the tank drain was piped outside the tank with a ball valve for easy access as well.

Oh, did I say this Quincy arrived in record time! Ordered it over the internet Sunday12/27, it shipped from Theodore, AL Monday afternoon 5:50PM, it arrived in Coweta, OK Thursday morning 12/31 9:35AM - Wow! I had it up and running before noon New Year's Eve. I'm a guy who likes to get his money's worth and that's just what I got with this purchase. I contacted Air Compressors Direct with questions about the extended warranty kit, I received a quick response and was very satisfied with their service.

I also contacted Quincy service department to verify they had received the warranty registration and copy of the receipt to insure may extended warranty was in fact in place. It was a very short wait on the phone, a very knowledgeable gentlemen answered the phone and quickly confirmed that all documentation was in place to activate the extended warranty.

Very pleasant experience with both Air Compressors Direct and Quincy service. I have no complaints whatsoever and I am completely satisfied with this purchase experience and certainly with this Quincy air compressor, it's a high quality machine that will last for many years to come. Thank you very much Air Compressors Direct and Quincy!
