    • Very Satisfied with NorthStar
My first impression of this unit upon my initial use of it is that it is about the best compressor performance for the price (price per listed CFM at 90 psi - when compared against similar performing units by Ingersoll-Rand, Craftsman, Makita and Industrial Air) that I think one could expect before going to a larger unit wired for 220/240 or gas-powered. This unit is the perfect choice for the homeowner looking for an upgrade to a smaller pancake or other portable unit. Assembly was simple and was essentially complete after bolting on the wheels and attaching the handle. Order the compressor oil also unless you want to make a separate trip to Home Depot or Lowe's to get that before you can plug it in and turn it on. I was particularly intrigued to see just how quiet it would be, as that was noted in the product details and one feature that mattered to me. It is indeed quiet compared to the little screamer portable that I had been using. The dark charcoal, fine-wrinkle finish on the unit appears very durable and was frankly more appealing to me than a typical painted finish. Other thoughtful details on this compressor include a properly located air-release valve at the bottom of the tank near the right side that make it very simple to open and drain off any moisture or excess air before storage. If I had a gripe, it'd be that the air-connector is immediately connected to the gauge, and that made it a little more difficult to unscrew the connector from the gauge-body so that I could hard pipe a filter/separator in-line before the connector. This is due to the lack of a good purchase-point to stick a wrench that will allow for removal of the connector fitting from the gauge-body, as the gauge-dial makes it too tall to allow one to rotate it with the gauge still on it and unscrew it from the unit. Anyway, the issue won't likely affect anyone not needing particularly dry air. Finally, although I would guess that NorthStar imports this unit (from Puma perhaps), as the bolts are all metric and don't appear to be quite up to that of American ASTM grade threads. Frankly, these are relatively little things and wouldn't deter me from strongly recommending this compressor to any friend looking for the same things that I was - good performance for the homeowner-level user for the best price. Great unit here from NorthStar! ... show more

    • Very happy with it
Ours arrived intact and undamaged, although the box was just sitting loose on the skid. You screw on the two air filters, attach the two wheels, add oil (it did not come with oil, so you'll need to get 16 oz. of compressor oil), and it's ready to go. We rewired ours for 240V (requires a jumper to be rewired), so we also needed to buy a 240V plug to replace the 120V plug it comes with. It runs fairly quiet for an air compressor, but it sits out in our shop so it's not an issue. It only took a few minutes to get to 130PSI from empty. We let it sit for a week and it was still at 130PSI, so it is tight. Seems sturdy enough to hold up over time. Overall, we are very happy with this unit. ... show more

    • Perfect for my needs.
It took awhile too get, but works great! Does not ship with oil, but assembly was super easy, 2 wheels and the air filters. My only complaint was shipping. I had to call YRC and give them my phone number as freight companies have complained to me that the only phone number they have is Amazon's phone that asks for a department extension. I would recommend using the special instruction area of your order to put your contact number, will save on your shipping time. ... show more

    • Seems to be a good compressor
Looks like a solid air compressor. Does not come with oil, but does come with air filters. Have used it for about a week, no leaks and takes about 3 minutes to fill. The shipper is not the best. I got a call Thursday asking if I would be around the next Tuesday afternoon, l told her yes,waited around and it never showed up. It came the next Thursday and the driver called about a hour before it arrived. ... show more

    • Very nice!
Just what I was looking for. This will mostly stay in the shop but it is portable. Much quieter than my last oil less compressor and with any luck will last longer. Looks to be good construction and materials. So far it is doing well on 120v.

    • Great compressor
It is very solidly built. To heavy to use as a portable unit.

    • Well made and quiet
Very heavy duty. Nice paint job. Very quieter than expected. I expect it will last years.

    • Product description is incorrect
Product description states if we purchase starter kit the 4 year warranty is extended a year leading consumer to believe we need not purchase starter kit which includes oil and filters. Item arrived without oil so I ordered the starter kit. However, they did not add the add'l year warranty. In addition, the filters did not fit the unit so I had to purchase fitters. Finally, the item description states made in U.S.A. and the direction book that comes with unit states made in Taiwan. Love Amazon but would be great if all vendors who sell on Amazon were as honest and gave their customers the same care that Amazon does. ... show more
