Campbell Hausfeld VT6290 Reviews & Ratings
Dale, the Power Equipment Expert
Expert Recommended Review
By Dale V.

Review Posted 04/17/2019
The heavy-duty Campbell Hausfeld 2-HP has a cast iron cylinder pump that provides up to 5,000 hours of life and delivers 5.5 CFM @ 90 PSI. Its dual voltage motor gives you a versatile design that'll suit your power set-up. It can power a variety of air tools for a serious DIY user, professional or contractor.

It's perfect for running all sorts of tools such as, brad nailing/stapling, drilling, finish nailing, hobby nailing, inflation, roof nailing, the list goes on. Built with large pneumatic tires for one rugged job site to another.

The larger, 20-gallon air tank is built to last and shipped right out of the manufacturing facility owned by Campbell Hausfeld. A brand you can trust and is backed up by a generous 3-year warranty.

Took Forever Not Ship It Here—- Then When It Arrived - It Was Cr
By Marvin J.

Review Posted 02/02/2022 
Leaked when arrived and was a hassle to resolve the problem until I was able to talk right with the manufacturer. Do not talk to Air Compressors Direct —they have no idea what theory they are talking about.

Kinda Sorta Satisfied
By Gregory G. 
Fort Collins, Colorado
Purchased 09/21/2015 | 
Review Posted 09/30/2015 
First the positive: the pump, motor, and tank quality are exactly what you would expect from a Campbell Hausfeld $570 purchase. The engineering is also good, as the belt shield also acts as a ducted air guide for the compressor and dissipates the heat efficiently.

The regulator and support were a disappointment. The regulator had a 35 lb. swing from load to no-load. I phoned the "contact us first" number on the product manual and was directed to a local "service center". My particular service center isn't directly affiliated with Campbell Hausfeld and I'm not sure that any of the people there had actually ever used an air compressor. They spent much time telling me that this was normal and when I informed them my older unit didn't do that they said the gauge was bad.

After learning it was warranty they said all they could do was box the unit up and return it to Campbell Hausfeld for repair. In the end I just plumbed in my older regulator from the original unit being replaced. If I had it do over again I would have thought harder about just purchasing and pump and motor and refurbishing my original thirty year old unit.

20 years and counting
By Robert E. 
Proctor, West Virginia
Review Posted 03/07/2013 
I bought this same C/H air compressor 20 years ago from the Montgomery Ward store in Parkersburg WV, before every one had pc's or mac's to order from on line.

This has been one fantastic piece of equipment. I sat it in the rear my garage, hooked it up through a filter into PVC lines to the front of the gArage to an overhead air reel and down the wall to a hose coupler.

It does not get a lot of use in the winter, but I just leave it on all of the time in the summer it gets used almost daily by young people filling their four-wheeler tires.

And, I use it to run a few air tools. My son and his friends use it to work on their vehicles it still runs as good as when I bought it. All I have done to it is drain the water from the tank once in a while adjusted the belt and added a little oil to the compressor.

Still running well after 20 years.

Looking for quiet
By Dennis 
Nevada
Purchased 11/26/2012 | 
Review Posted 12/18/2012 
My compressor arrived boxed up and on time. So far it is what I was looking for.

Quiet as far as air compressors go and no leaks.

Belt drive is the way to go. The cast iron runs cooler and last longer in the heat.
