Review Posted 11/30/2023
I received this compressor about a month ago I ordered it to put in one of my service vehicles. This unit is very quiet and recovers fast. I will write another review after I use it for 6 months or so...

To Much
By Alex J.

Review Posted 04/27/2022
Used the compressor to supply air to clean sweep row cleaners. Must have been too much for it. Lasted two weeks. Cylinder bore wore out. Will not build pressure.
