Was Not Happy At First Did Not Like To Start Raised Idle
By Wayne B. 
Geraldine, Montana
Purchased 12/31/2018 | 
Review Posted 03/21/2019 
Out of the box, it would only start with psi in the tank after some tinkering. I eventually tried increasing the idle I think nearly 2 turns made all the difference starts like a Honda should. The idle is not that fast either

This Air Compressor Works Great
By Kenneth M. 
Naches, Washington
Purchased 12/17/2018 | 
Review Posted 01/22/2019 
Air compressor came with a broken compressor oil cover, from shipping holes in the box that broke the oil dip stick hole on the cover. Contacted Rolair they replaced the cover free and I had the part in my hand in 5 days now, works great. Rolair was very good to work with thanks to Bob in service at Rolair.

Great Little Compressor, Very Compact!
By Ray C. 
Estill, South Carolina
Purchased 08/22/2017 | 
Review Posted 11/23/2017 
Great little compressor. I keep it in the back of my pickup since I am always in need of air on the farm. It is small and compact and doesn't take up much room. Only thing I don't like is I can't get it to start if the air pressure is in tank, let pressure out and starts right up!!!

Need Quality Control

Review Posted 11/30/2016 
Can't hardly get to run. If it calls for air, It will die instead of idling up. Really surprised me because it is a Rolair brand and I thought that I was buying one of the best.

Will Not Start
By Jasen N. 
Chesapeake, Virginia
Purchased 09/27/2016 | 
Review Posted 11/02/2016 
Will not start. Oil level is good. Relief valve on. I have to drain all air in tank to start it.

Expert Response
I'm sorry you're having trouble starting your compressor. Our rep at Rolair said it sounds like you are flipping the toggle on the pilot valve "up". With the toggle up, it tells the engine to go to idle mode, unless there is not air in the tank. Which makes sense why you could start the unit with no air in the tank. He says you should leave the toggle down, there's no reason to flip that up.

He also suggests that you should start the compressor with an empty tank. One, it will drain the moisture out and two, it is easier on the engine and pump until they both get warmed up.

If these tips don't help, please give the folks at Rolair a call at 920-349-3281- they will help you troubleshoot, and can refer you to Warranty Service if needed. Please also have the serial number of your compressor handy when you call them.

This unit is covered by a 1 year Factory Warranty for defects in materials and workmanship. We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience.

Nice Little Compressor
By Joe K. 
Dryden, New York
Purchased 06/07/2016 | 
Review Posted 08/22/2016 
Our company used the larger, wheel barrow style Rolair gas compressor and we were very happy with the quality but it took 2 employees to load onto a truck.

These compressors can be loaded or unloaded by 1 person and still have plenty of capacity to run two air nailers.

Outstanding
By Barbara D. 
Apache junction, Arizona
Purchased 05/21/2016 | 
Review Posted 06/22/2016 
I am a roofing contractor who does jobs were no power is available so this little compressor has been a lifesaver.

I have used it on three jobs now. It is easy to start and runs quiet. I would recommend this to any small roofing contractor who needs power anywhere.

Thanks for the great service- thank you very much Air Compressors Direct stores. Great service and friendly service. I will be doing business with you again.
