Rolair 5715K17 Reviews & Ratings
Dale, the Power Equipment Expert
Expert Recommended Review
By Dale V. 
Power Equipment Expert
Review Posted 04/12/2019
The 571K17 by Rolair has an excellent choice of features that make it ideal for inside contractor jobs. There is no gas motor with fumes and exhaust to deal with! The intake filter with a silencer & replaceable element for quiet running is a great feature that Rolair has included. To help reduce sound further, this unit also offers a quiet operation with a low RPM pump and motor.

The 1.5HP electric motor uses ball bearings for greater durability and it plugs into regular 115V service. If needed, this unit can be wired to 230V. The air-cooled aftercooler helps prolong the life of the pump. At 174 pounds it's lighter than a gas-powered unit, and the large pneumatic wheel is tucked into the frame for a smaller footprint that is easy to steer around a job site. This Rolair compressor will excel in contributing to help you get the job done.

Theres Absolutely Nothing That Comes Close To "Roll Air" Air Com
By Edward K. 
Mount Vernon, Washington
Purchased 07/31/2019 | 
Review Posted 08/19/2019 
I just love my new air compressor. Been the Framing industry's standard for years. Just make sure to run it on a 20+ amp breaker, and you will need a 3/8th outer thread air coupler before you get started. They were super helpful shipping and communicating with me. Belt drive rely is the way to go.

By Edward K. 
Mount Vernon, Washington
Purchased 07/31/2019 | 
Review Posted 08/14/2019 
Theres absolutely nothing that comes close to "Roll Air" air compressor. Framing houses for several years these are the only air compressors we ever used, using anything els will most likely have you being laughed at by other's in the industry. Now I'm no longer a framer, but I still need a good air compressor. I bought myself a Husky from Home Depot. It worked fine then recently burned out. I'm sure my new Roll Air will last longer then a few years. If you buy from these guys you will need a 3/8" OUTER thread air fitting before you get started.

Don't Buy This If You Are On A Pinch
By Miguel H. 
Boise, Idaho
Purchased 05/03/2017 | 
Review Posted 06/04/2017 
We bought the air compressor on a pinch. My last compressor was about to give out, and my work depends on a air compressor day in day out. But we had to wait to receive it more then 3 weeks.

Air Compressors Direct is not good at communicating information with customers. I end up buying another pancake oil less compressor just to get by. Then when i finally received my compressor it did not come with a couplers. I had to stop working for over and hour to go find the right size coupler.

I checked our page for this unit- it says "Built To Order: Factory items ship direct from the manufacturer. Shipping times vary." When you called to check on your order we contacted the factory for you the same day, and updated you the next day with the estimate on when the compressor would be finished.

Your file shows we sent you the tracking information on each part of your shipment as we received it, and forwarded your question about the connectors to Rolair the same day you contacted us.

The fastest way to get a compressor is to put "In Stock" in the Search box at the top of our web page. That will show you what is already in our warehouse that can be shipped out the next day, although dual voltage units are usually special orders.

We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience.

We have had a good track record with Rolair products for years, and in the odd instance where one of their compressors malfunctioned during the warranty period they have been very responsive to our customers and quickly corrected any issues.

I don't see where you purchased this unit from us, so I don't know what's been done. The Factory Warranty covers defect in materials and workmanship, but it doesn't cover mis-use or improper setup.

Doesn't keep up with a framing gun
By Colin MacK. 
North Lakewood, Washington
Review Posted 05/25/2013 
I own 2 of these and hate both of them. They will not keep up with one framing gun that is shear nailing.

I am going to pick up a new 2 hp Jenny; hopefully it is as good as the old Emglo's...

Expert Response
Regardless of the brand, the CFM of the tool must match the CFM of the compressor- this unit is rated at 6.9CFM at 100 PSI. Some of the big framing nailers run about 5 CFM at 70-120 PSI; that's going to make this compressor work to keep up.

Rolair has an excellent factory warranty program that covers defects in manufacture or workmanship on this unit for 1 year. If you feel the compressor has not been assembled properly, please give the folks at Rolair a call at 920-349-3281. They will be happy to help you.
