Second one I've purchased. The other one lasted 13 years and was used frequently. I would recommend this compressor.

Just used it a few times. Everything works. Noise level ok, better than the oil-less compressor it replaced.

Seems Like A Great Compressor To Me.

Review Posted 03/01/2021 
I have had this compressor for 2 years now and it has always worked great with no issues. I had a Campbell Housfeld 60-gal that worked fine from 1997 to 2015 but I left it in my old house when I moved. Hopefully, this will last as long.

Expert Response
Factory Warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship for a set period of time, in this case 1 year of consumer use. Since you purchased your unit from Tractor Supply instead of us (Air Compressors Direct) I'm sorry- we're not allowed to intercede in your case.

You may want to call the folks at Porter Cable at 888-848-5175 to see if they can reconsider your claim, just please be sure to have the serial number of your compressor handy when you call.

Best Buy For The Money
By Michael P. 
Belton, Kentucky
Purchased 02/25/2017 | 
Review Posted 04/06/2017 
I was pleasantly surprised how well this handled my little 110 lb sandblaster though I have to admit that I blast under 90lbs psi. so that may account for the fast recovery.

As far as any other air tool I have thrown at it the performance has been flawless. No complaints about hook up or plumbing in a drain petcock.

An Upgrade I am Very Happy With!
By Robert C. 
Henderson, New York
Purchased 02/21/2017 | 
Review Posted 03/16/2017 
Shipping was on time and the compressor arrived undamaged. It has performed as I anticipated and expected from the reviews and the fact that my neighbor had the exact same one which they also were very happy with it's performance.

I went from a small China-made compressor that never performed well and had a short life span after it just basically fell apart, giving me the incentive to purchase the Porter Cable Compressor.

Porter Cable Air Compressor
By Andrew W. 
Canton, Ohio
Purchased 05/14/2015 | 
Review Posted 06/05/2015 
Hooked up the electrical and it works just like advertised. Nice air compressor.

I would advise people to contact Air Compressor Direct to get freight information. It took over 2 weeks to get my compressor, and I had to reach out to the freight company to see what was going on as there was no tracking information on the Air Compressor Direct website, and I had never been contacted by either company.
