EMAX EGES1830ST Reviews & Ratings
18HP Emax

Review Posted 07/16/2022
This is the best compressor I have ever used or been around. When everything else on the farm won't start or is giving trouble I know when I turn the key to the Honda engine it's always ready to go to work. It is extremely quiet, fast on building up Air and recovery is phenomenal. Thank you Power Equipment / Air Compressors Direct for such a fine piece of equipment for my everyday use. Makes life easier here on the farm.

This compressor starts very well (especially considering it's a 4 cylinder compressor). Has very fast air recovery and runs quiet and smooth.

After leaving an earlier review detailing my experience with poor quality control on this compressor, I received a call from EMAX, and the owner himself addressed the issues and offered to send a brand new compressor and arrange for the first one to be picked up.
My first experience was obviously not the standard for this company. I would definitely recommend EMAX for your next air compressor purchase.

Good Components, Very Poor Quality Control
By David P.

Review Posted 11/11/2016
I really think this could be a good air compressor. Quality control was just terrible on my particular unit. The paint job was very bad. On the fuel tank bracket some parts were not painted it all, just bare metal. I started to see rust very quickly on a lot of it. I do have it mounted on the back of a truck, in the weather.
The copper air lines on the compressor side leaked from the start. They just needed tightening. The nuts holding the muffler to the motor backed off quickly. I discovered it after the entire muffler came loose from the motor. I think the components are high enough quality, just whoever put it together did a very sloppy job.
It is a relatively fast compressor. However sometimes it seems the motor runs faster than other times when building pressure. Sometimes it keeps up with the 1 inch impact, sometimes it does not. I think there is a problem with the pressure controlled throttle regulator. Also the dimensions listed on the website were not at all accurate.
Would I buy it again? I don't know. I do like it, however with some of the issues and poor quality control, I don't know that it's worth the extra money.
