Industrial Series 80 Gal. 7.5 HP 1-Phase Electric Air Compressor with pressure lubricated pump

I am a very serious DIY guy who does not ever want to run out of air when I am working on vintage vehicles. Secondly, my garage is a 4 car attached garage so sound levels were an important factor. I probably would have been fine with the 5 horsepower 80 gallon model but I went “Tim Taylor” and got the 10 horsepower 80 gallon model. I am in no way disappointed in this machine! It produces more volume than I can use even when painting and it really is as quiet as advertised. I recommend this for industrial and DIY use.

I am a car enthusiast and am slowly restoring a couple muscle cars in my home shop, as well as maintaining and repairing cars for friends and family. My old Husky 3.2hp 60 gallon compressor has done a good job for tha last 10 years but it struggled to keep up with sand blasting and tools that consume a lot of air, such as sanders, grinders etc. I had been looking around at industrial compressors when I ran across the E Max on Home Depot’s Contractor Special Buy of the Week. I’ll admit that I’d never heard of the E Max brand but was instantly impressed with the construction quality, features and performance at an almost unbelievable price! I called the company directly and asked them some questions and was even more impressed. Their customer service is excellent and it’s very apparent that they take pride in their products and stand behind them. I also had to contact Home Depot’s customer service because there was a problem processing the online order. They too were excellent to deal with and even waived the shipping charges for my trouble, even though I didn’t ask. The compressor came sooner than promised, was extremely well crated and delivered on a truck with a lift gate. The driver from Holland Express even rolled it into place in my shop with a pallet jack. I had looked for quite a while and I didn’t find any other brand that even came close to what E Max offers for the money. This thing is an absolute monster! It’s quite, very efficient and doesn’t break a sweat no matter what I throw at it. If you’re ready to make the investment in an industrial grade compressor you owe it to yourself to check out the E Max line. You’ll never regret it! I couldn’t be happier with the product and the entire process!

Great compressor... This is a well built compressor that uses high quality components. It is pretty quiet and pumps up quickly. I have no issues running a sand blast cabinet, dual action sander or impact wrench. Very impressed with the build quality.

This air compressor provides more than enough air for my 2400 sq ft. shop. The unit is quiet and builds air fast. The delivery driver was able to back up to the shop, use his pallet jack to set the compressor where I wanted it.

I’m very much satisfied with my purchase. I researched many manufacturers and units thoroughly. Decided on Emax and am extremely satisfied with their top notch high quality product. Very quiet and its really satisfying hearing it run.

Arrived a week sooner than initial estimate at checkout. Freight hauler called well in advance to schedule delivery, and verified the need for liftgate service. Compressor is not the silent version, and I still find it very quiet for it's size and power. Much quieter than the much smaller compressor it replaces. Also no huge bulky crate to throw away, it's just bolted to a pallet. Made it easy to unpackage and put into service. Wiring diagrams in the contractor are quick and easy to understand. The oil level was already correct. Just add power, throw the switch, and it was up to full pressure in under 2 minutes. It wobbles while running more than I expected due to the massive pump internals, you really need to bolt it down before you run your air lines. You also need a good long section of flexible conduit to allow for this movement.

Awesome product! This compressor is everything they claim it is. My only surprise was that it was yellow when it arrived. After talking to Emax directly, they are no longer selling them in black in an effort to streamline production. Not a big deal, just don't get your hopes up for black.

Great air compressor so far, seems to be of good quality, nice and quiet and builds air fast. For install it only needs to be wired up. I also did four 2 inch pipe filled with stainless steel mesh for a water air separator during the humid summers. Quieter than any of my friends shop air compressors.

I received my EMAX compressor. It was everything that it was advertised to be. This compressor is quieter than the Craftsman that it replaced and that goes a long way for me. I can see that this compressor is designed well. I'm looking forward to years of service!

Home Depot was very helpfull in getting this compressor ordered, it was delivered as expected. The Emax compressor came in a wooden crate very well made unit compared to some of the others I looked at runs smooth and quite we are very happy with purchase also had a few guestions before installing talked to Natalie at Emax great customer service I would recommend This 5 hp 80 gal.Emax compressor to all who wants the best industry leading warranty on a compressor which most of the parts are made here in the USA.
