    • Works well
Size: 20 Gallon
Honda engines are hard to beat. Fired right up and Northern does a good job on the rest of the compressor. It's not too heavy either. Not much heavier than the electric motor version of this compressor.

    • WONDERFUL UNIT
Size: 30 Gallon
THIS IS A GREAT UNIT. IT IS THE 4TH ONE I HAVE PURCHASED AND IF I NEED ANOTHER ONE, I WILL PURCHASE THE SAME PRODUCT. THEY ALWAYS START AND HAVE PLENTY OF AIR PRESSURE.

    • Seems to work well
Size: 20 Gallon
I have owned it for 2 months. I knew i would be modifying the base of the tank to fit in my service truck, so i had to completely disassemble the unit to weld on my mounts. I am glad I did, as it needed some work right away. One of the fittings wasn't installed properly and I immediately needed to repair it for proper operation. The vinyl/plastic tubing is not durable enough and I will be upgrading to copper lines soon. All in all, it's a good unit. I think they could have taken more time to assemble it. Shipping was a nightmare and they were not very helpful after my credit card was charged. I would probably but it again if I needed another one. ... show more

Showed up on time and in good shape. For some reason it’s just sitting in the box on the pallet with nothing holding it down, I can see that going bad on some deliveries. Ran it for break in and noticed it wasn’t idling up and down. Check out my pics, the small plastic clip the throttle linkage retainer seemed to be upside down and every time it went to idle up or down it would pop out. I swapped that upside down from factory and that fixed my issue. In my pic it’s been swapped. Then I put a small piece of rubber between the throttle valve and the gas tank. It was already digging into the tank pretty bad and I’d imagine it would wear a hole in the tank pretty quick when running. After those two fixes I had 0 issues after running it for around 20 hrs straight blowing sprinklers out. I didn’t have issues with the plastic throttle tube like some had and I inspected it after running the 20 hrs and it shows no signs of failing. ... show more

    • quality built
Size: 20 Gallon
I like the quality and the Honda engine always starts on first crank. The unit itself tends to be very heavy and a bit difficult to move around on the wheels because of the weight. ( Im 6 foot and 210 pounds) and still found it to be a bit heavy, but I guess it represents quality in the materials used to build it. Anyway it done exactly what I needed for remote sealcoat spraying and I found it better than my older wheebarrow type compressor. It maintained my set pressure at 90PSi during usage ... show more

    • Great purchase!
Size: 20 Gallon
We had our last air compressor for over 25 years. We use them to run a small company. They are mounted in our company trucks and it is important that they are dependable. Really didn't know what to expect when ordering this new one online,. It has exceeded our expectations. We love it. even though we went from a 30 gallon tank down to a 20 gallon tank it still seems to work even better than the 30 gallon. ... show more

attention to semi truckers ,order a 1 1/2 to 1/2 outlet Bushing ,take out that 1 1/2 plug on the side and you will have a 1/2 outlet which when i take it down to yard to see if it has enough power to take the wheels off,it was like spreading butter on a toast easy,check out the pictures,also material looks and feels high quality and yes delivery comes with a big truck you may have arrange a time and place to pick it up,here is the link for that bushing,also you may wanna add a 1/2 air dryer (really helps when there is a freezing weather)which they have it in amazon website,and only reason im leaving this comments here ,because i had to take a chance ordering this not knowing if this is gonna be working out for a truck repair,well yes it does. update (September 2015) im very happy with it,done many repairs changed many truck tires to this date and starts every time, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006PKMJJO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WI5YPC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ... show more
